Born 2B Mild

Purchased my Eden D115, and the handover and chat sweetened my loss.

Hey Simon (Old Git) [i]"Basschat Shuker Custom Precision 5 String club member # 1"[/i] Jon's making me a P-5 like the Simon Rix, so save me a place in your club! (Ooops, sorry Retroman, hi-jacking your thread. Please excuse!)

Sounds like a well organised and well appreciated day. I'm so pleased for you all that participated.

Do you do any numbers from the 1976 album "Time and Again"?

[quote name='thumperbob 2002' post='620231' date='Oct 8 2009, 08:12 AM']Schroeder 1212L and 1515L- why have one when you can have two- very light and fit in the boot of my car easy- any one can be used on its own but together.....................Massive. Picking them up- the 2 x15 is lighter than the 1212L- feels like a cab without speakers fitted. Bob[/quote] The 1515L sounds intriguing. Do let me know if you're gigging around the Leeds/Harrogate way...I'd love to try a bit of weightlifting!

Nevermind "money no object" it's who the heck moves it and how? Let's face it, us older members of this community would all have old-school stacks if we didn't have to shunt them ourselves. FWIW, in the lottery dream sequence, I'd be down to Bass Direct for some Bergantino bliss.

[quote name='Gust0o' post='617483' date='Oct 5 2009, 02:46 PM']According to the above it's the patent number, not the serial - as they only began using that in 1990, which would understandably, not allow for an 87. I don't know [/quote] Which puts it at pre 1990 then. I know the vendor to me had it for 10 years and he wasn't the original owner. Other than that, I'm in the dark. Putting some new'ish strings on now, and ordered the Servisol to attack the pots.

If you're trying to get a market price feel for comparing elsewhere, I can give you the heads-up for Harrogate. We pay £30 for an evening, for a fully equipped room. That's EVERYTHING except the instruments (includes drums though) . There's at least four places we can hire at that price in a three mile radius.

Tuned up, plugged in, EMG's sounding nice, but pots need a clean. On the age front, I'm a bit confused. Modulus say: [i]The first two digits of all Modulus serial numbers indicate the year the instrument was manufactured. For example, a bass with serial # 930111 was built in 1993, and a bass with serial # 020343 was built in 2002. Modulus began using serial numbers in 1990, so all basses before that time bear only the Modulus patent number.[/i] My serial starts with an 87 ...so is it an 87?

Tad-ahhhh............

I was trying to keep the box for another day, so it took ages to open. Inside it was a hard case. Inside that was a wrapped up mummy. Once the wrappings were removed, I found this ... (waits to quickly upload a photo0

Sorry, this is taking longer than I thought. If I ever buy shares, I'm going to look up whoever makes Gaffa.

I can't believe I've not opened it yet, whilst choosing to post this snap instead. Give me 5 mins, and al will be revealed. I hope I'm not going to be disappointed.

Hang on, UPS have just pulled up outside...

(in hushed tones) It's my day off. I am about to achieve a quest. A delivery is due any moment. I've lusted for one of these, and posted on Basschat to see if anyone has one I can try (to no avail). They don't come up for sale in the UK very often. I can't afford it, but an ancient eBay search popped up and I had to act. I have a notice sellotaped on the front door "I'm in, so knock hard", I daren't go to the loo, no music playing, porch door open to aid hearing knock at the door.

Anyone going from Yorkshire? If so, could I give you my MPG Level 6 to take down with a big FOR SALE sign on it? Various folk in the south have expressed interest in it if it wasn't so far away. I can deliver to you.

Niche idea suggestion for a guitar cab, Alex... Build a combo-sized cab that incorporates an out of sight class D power amp. Then have a cut-out section of the cab for slotting in a L6 POD. You wouldn't be the first to do it, but you'd be the only European manufacturer.

If there's a chance, I'd like to play pass the parcel with a Big One. Am in Harrogate, but visiting family in Swinton tomorrow afternoon, if that's any use.
