    I'd spotted the semi as well & quite like the looks: Kinda Rickyish in places. £235 for a 4 or 5 string - would love to know what they are like. As an owner of a Korean Lakland I'm certainly not going to assume that because it's Korean it's rubbish!

    Forgot to add one thing I always take with me - my little, first series, Sadowsky outboard pre-amp. Means I can get a decent signal into something if my amp goes down. it's never actually happened but ya never know. . . . . .

    Slightly off topic - I went to a gig recently and had seen 10 lead guitars and 3 basses after only 5 songs! Bloody American session musicians backing a touring singer. Lots of technical ability but lacking in any charisma. God knows why they needed to chane after every song. Anyway - back on topic. I've never taken a spare bass to a gig but I do take simple stuff like strings, a basic tool kit & spare leads. The worst thing that happened to me once was that my main lead failed just before the encore. All I had left was a really short length of patch cable. Had to strap my bass up around my neck and play rammed up against the amp & cab! Always have an, easily accessible, spare lead with me now. . . . . .

    Have you heard the boxed Cd set at all? Apart from the mono & stereo mix versions there's a whole album of just the vocals (some of which are just amazing) and also one of just the instrumental parts. A few interesting out-takes and stuff as well.

    Not sure it'll be a huge upgrade on what you already have? Unless you're looking at this as a second bass?

    A guitarist mate of mine has just asked me to find him a decent bass for under £200 - he suggested a Squier but I think this ought to be better! I'll have a word with him but he's in Portugal at the moment so may take a while to respond. May also depend on how "traditional" he wants to be!

    Greetings

    What is Xmas like on Mars? Even 'redder' than down here I'd imagine Defiintely loads of friendly people here if you want to ask any questions - don't be afraid if you think something is really dumb but you've always wanted to know - no-one here bites. . . . . . . . . . . well, not many people anyway, and those that do don't have very sharp teeth

    Damn - when I saw the title of the thread I thought we had some saying hello who was actually called "Marion Arkansas" - cool name for a girl bassist I thought Good to have some more classic prog people on board

    So does anyone know all the Fender based acronyms? Off the top of my head I've got: MIA - Made in America MIM - Made in Mexico MIJ - Made in Japan CIJ - Crafted in Japan Must be some more?

    I was over at obbm's the other day and was really impressed with his lovely Lakland DJ. I have a few contacts over in the USA and mentioned I fancied one and one of them managed to pick a virtually new one up for me at an incredibly good price. It's a rosewood board model and I'm more of a fan of maple boards but very much looking forward to it travelling across the pond

    After a brief, but noisy, disagreement with the wife I think I can be a bit more open to trades than previously suggested (she wants me to flog stuff for cash & I want to 'stockpile' more bass gear!). As far as trades are concerned I'd be very interested in a MarkBass 1x12 and would definitely consider any interesting bass, or even 6 string guitar or amp, options I've also dropped the prices a bit

    [quote name='Gwilym' post='226979' date='Jun 25 2008, 10:52 PM']hi Molan, wow, i didn't think the PPA would attract that much moolah... bargain for some one then Was is you who bought that EBS 1u power amp?[/quote] Yep that was me - I seem to have a bit of an EBS fetish going at the moment - that and the fact that I picked it up for under £100 including shipping
  14. molan
    The answer to your woes Uggy is to flog the Fatboy for a tidy profit & buy a Street Triple - you don't really need the 1,050 engine of the Speed Triple and the 675 engine is a peach. Having saved a huge wedge of cash you can then splash out on a much sexier bass & still be quids in

    I've seen a couple of the PPA300's sell for around the £200 mark on Ebay recently - I'd been watching them to partner my Trace Pre-Amp! Bought an EBS instead though so I'm not in contention now. Excellent price, someone should snap this up quickly

    You never know what you might spot in a pawn / cash converter type place. I once picked up a Spector fretless 4 for £100 in one. The same place had an amazing Tom Anderson quilted maple top guitar for a few hundred quid but I couldn't afford it at the time.

    Can't beat good old black with sparkly pearly plate & some custom inlays

    Took some pics today - not great quality but better than nothing! Forgot to mention that the head is really flexible for practice use - it has an input for an MP3 or CD player with an independent input level control and a headphones out with an option to turn the main speaker off so you can balance all the signals for private listening. Everything working fine. Gain pots are a little scratchy at very low settings (I think because it's never used at low settings as it has a simple speaker off button if muting is required). Really not enough to worry about but just want to be as accurate in the description as possible. Speaker is in good condition having been used on a handful of occasions only. The small mark on the front grill has now been cleaned up. Any questions please ask!

    Listening to Sunburst Band right now on Solar Radio via Sky! They've been #1 on the Solar funk album chart for six weeks now.

    [quote name='nick' post='225047' date='Jun 23 2008, 02:30 PM']I think it has to. Even though I personally prefer old basses, it's nice to see something different, that isn't always retro styled. That's a gorgeous piece of wood! [/quote] Looks much better now it's had a good clean Well worth every penny of the £240 I just paid for it
  21. molan
    Looks like price has been agreed so this would appear to be sold pending the usual stuff
  22. molan
    Got pretty close to selling the combo but looks like it's back up for sale at £525 with the CXL112 at £350 I'll knock £25 off if someone wants the pair @ £850 Could be up for trades like a little MarBass 1x12 or always up for offers on interesting basses! [b]Now reduced to £775 for the newer pair or £725 for the older model combo[/b]

    [quote name='StevieC' post='224951' date='Jun 23 2008, 12:50 PM']Have you got that line down yet? Was listening to it on the radio this moring and it sounds nice but a little tricky![/quote] I got pretty close (with some YouTube assistance!). However other band members struggling so seems to have been dropped from the set for the time being!

    Does a Status Electro count?
