    the one we sold and now regret

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I had a Pre-ErnieBall Stingray that was my first proper bass that I sold in a moment of skintness many years ago, I suppose the regret is that at the time I had no idea of the prestige and value it would have now. But the main regret was my Musicman 5 string that my old guitarist got for me very cheap as he was in the trade. I was playing Arias at the time and we went down to a dealer in Torquay for him to do some sort of dodgy deal on something and the 5 was sitting there looking at me. I had a play and fell in love. A couple of days later I went round the guitarists flat and there it was waiting for me. He'd done the deal without telling me and got it for a song. A few years later and after the band split my money went down the pan again and the MM got traded for a Yammy BBN5 plus cash. If I could find the MM again I'd sell a kidney to get it back!

    We're looking at a Jaydee Supernatural Roadie fretless(cheers Rich), a Peavey Mark3 series head(cheers Labougie) and an unknown custom built 1x15 bought VERY cheap on Ebay!(cheers Stuart)

    Better find me self a band then!!![/quote]

    [quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='294562' date='Sep 29 2008, 02:38 PM']I asked a similar question and got the response that if you've got two outputs use 'em!

    Twofold reasons, one: if it's got it as an option, there must be some benefit :) two: if the lead from amp to cab-A dies mid gig, you loose all sound, whereas if you're running two leads from your amp to two cabs, if one dies you get a drop in volume but can carry on playing.

    BTW, was good to put a face to the name! wish I'd managed to have a go on the JD, mebby next time eh? :huh:[/quote]

    Sounds reasonable to me.
    Jaydee next time, your first on the list!

    My gear is now as below having added the two cabs bought from Monz at the SE Bash (cheers). Both cabs are 8 ohm, amp runs down to 4. Ideal!
    Question is do I run a lead from both speaker outputs,one to each cab, or one lead into one cab and then from there into the other cab to get maximum performance.

    Plugged my Jaydee Fretless into this at the Bass Bash.......oh yes what a sound! Couldn't believe the volume from the little bugger, even with all the other rigs being caned at the same time it just kicked ass. Buy this combo you won't regret it! Or else don't sell it onehappybunny you will regret it!! :) :huh:

    1x15 Bass cab

    I've just upgraded my cabs so here is a home made 1x15 bass cab free to collect from Woking Surrey or I can deliver very locally. I got it dirt cheap on the Bay and it works fine. It's a bit tatty, but is pretty light weight and has handles on the side. I have no idea of wattage or ohmage so it's a case of suck it and see. Please note this is just for the cab, yer not having me little Pervey!

    RIP Leftysteve

    A collection was made at the Bass Bash and I believe flowers and a card are being sent to his family on behalf of the forum. I didn't see the name of who it was who took the collection but thanks for doing that and as said before RIP Leftysteve........too bloody young to go! :)

    Well it's been a cracking day, only just got home after the Bash and then going over to South London to see a friend playing in a swing band in a massive church. Was great to see the faces of the names, big shout to Silverfoxnik and Merton for all the organisation. Hey Monz, glad you made it home ok, yeah that M25 can be a bit nasty sometimes, my work takes me round it all the time and it ain't pretty. Cheers for doing a fantastic deal on those cabs, they will get a work out later today. I was told the money might be going towards a GB Spitfire fund, well good luck with that, you can't go wrong IMHO, Bernies basses are the nuts! Good to see Adrian again, he used to relieve me of many quids when I was in Devon and he worked the shop in Mansons. I took a few photos and when I get up later this morning I'll upload them, also I videoed most of the GB demo by Bernie and if the quality is ok I'll put it on youtube. sh*t, it's 1.30am and I'm still buzzing!!

    Nighty night........can't wait for the next one! :)

    She was with Prince too.

    The Budakan Dvd is regular viewing for me. I seemed to have got into some bass players after they were gone, Edwards, Jaco........it drives you crazy wondering what they would be up to now if they had survived. The music is always there so it has to do.

    You're all naughty boys !!
