[url="http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?item=SP-MINI-9V"]http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/...item=SP-MINI-9V[/url] Cant guarantee how long it will last tho its all about the current draw n stuff ) I had to get the router out to fit a pp3 9v with my artec as it was such a tight squeeze , nearly but not quite ..lol fwiw the lithium ( rectangulars ) are even tighter It does depend on the depth of your cavity route If you wanna dry run it gimme a shout as ive got a se2a in my parts box ( somewhere ) They do a pretty ok job too imho for buttons money Apols for any innuendo caused Gary v8
  2. Man that Mockingbird is totally Rock n Roll .. Dont spose theres a piccy of the XL8 too ? Gary v8
  3. And not just 10" drivers either .... Fast reacting :- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59337"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59337[/url] And also test and demo every combination thoroughly with your own set up , which as you play a using MIDI you might consider a dual or stereo rig .. Gary v8
  4. [attachment=32225:IMG_1460a.jpg] That is an absolute stunner Sir ! Much as i dribbled over the Fod ( evn tho it was sc ) i think this is " The One " wow! 30.75 scale and ooh skinny neck ! Stanley taper ? Dont think ive seen a piece of Buckeye quite as eyewateringly delightful ! Ive Just recently taken delivery of a "preloved " Series 1 and havent been able to put it down as yet , the tonal variety from the filter based eq is phenomenal and the playabilty just incredible , " flats on a SC " ??? who ? why ??? lol ( each to his or her own of course ), but wha ? Hope you ll be stringing that beauty up with some really skinny springs and bending the notes after the nut ! If you need any Stanley tracks ! lol ..oh dam mine are all on vinyl .. dont ever put this up in FS cos ill have to camp outside your house ! Beautiful !! Gary v8
  5. [attachment=32223:Onbekend...oets.gif.jpg] This looks particularly delicious really love the " cleanness and purity " " one piece " is something ive never experienced but looks utterly huggable ! and may i just add some big thanks for some inspirational finds and info . Great work and much appreciated Gary v8
  6. [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='589082' date='Sep 3 2009, 08:36 PM']What are your opinions of this.......?[/quote] Lovely ! dont think ive seen a pj config before .. really tight to the bridge as well , do you anchor on the p ? ooer , think i might need a thumb rest .. Wooden f/board ? or phenolic ? Love the binding too, like a dinner suit ! tuxedo berger maybe ? And so nice to steinys being brought out dusted off and displayed , just to fuel my gas ....only played a couple L2 and XL but allways , allway impressed . Apols to the OP for going slightly off topic .. Gary v8
  7. Hello mate Think im going a lil nuts here ! Is it a 4 banger as in the pics ? or a 5 as in the yt vid ? Just to clarify as i was all discombobulated by string counting ... Gary v8
  8. [quote name='alexclaber' post='588763' date='Sep 3 2009, 03:53 PM']Looks like a Carl Thompson but is it? Alex[/quote] Another of the amazing creations of Mr wittenberg from his site @ [url="http://www.bas-extravaganza.nl/?setlang=EN"]http://www.bas-extravaganza.nl/?setlang=EN[/url] His stuff has been mentioned on BC but it just astounds me ! Obviously very CT influenced and im sure it would break your back wearing it or playing it but hey no pain and all that ... dam things even got LEDs brrrr Gary v8
  9. My old Marlin ( stop sniggering ) sidewinder .. P/J Paint hacked off exposing ply body , defretted , refretted , smashed , dropped , burnt , left outdoors in the rain Best tone i ever had ! ! or this :- [attachment=32110:2_Bassen..._800x600.jpg] which gives me sleepless nights .. Gary v8
  10. Just adding to Pete ( fleabag ) , the name still makes me chuckle .. feedback Fast courteous efficient and highly entertaining ! Many Thanks fle..flea .. ( nope i cant say it ...).... pete ! Top BC er to deal with Thanks mate , Gary v8
  11. Ahh found your feedback thread !... Just to say what an [b]absolutely top notch [/b]BC star to deal with , great comms all the way and damn you can pack ! lol im now using your packaging to transport delicate vases around in total safety .. Total gem ! , Many thx AM ! Gary v8
  12. At times like this i wish i was sinistre One of my all time favourite basses ! lovely short scale fantastically playable , im nearly dewey eyed .. My old one had a plain F style bridge and i had rosewood surrounds made up by the bristol guitar workshop ( cos they all split ) moons ago but still rue the day i sold it or traded it to buy beer or something equally ludicrous . Thats a steal of a deal too ! £ 320 or ono ???? u sure ? lol wonders about becoming ambidextrous .....but i have trouble tying my shoelaces sometimes .. Nearly tempted to just stick it on my wall too !! Someone give this some lefty love you might be surprised how good this is ! Have a Krameresque bump
  13. Luvverly bass ! Bi Amp it and send the higher frequencies though a valve guitar head with a soupcon of gain . Hey presto ! even more evil !! Gary v8bass and part time 12 stringer
  14. I put one of those piezo equipped bridges on a fretless BitsaJazz last year , A PITA to get the levels between Mag and Piezo right so after much trial and error ended up using a cheap Artec Buffer to match . The bridge itself is of very reasonable construction and quality so wont rob any tone A simple wiring diagram last one in the book [url="http://www.artecsound.com/wiring/wiring_book01.pdf"]http://www.artecsound.com/wiring/wiring_book01.pdf[/url] And a semi tech article [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/rick-turner-piezo/mar-05/3368"]http://www.bassplayer.com/article/rick-tur...ezo/mar-05/3368[/url] Sound wise for me its unlike either bridge pos or neck position ( unhelpful sorry ) but it adds a new dimension in terms of tone . A marmite quality but capable of DB esque and semi or electro acoustic tone and beyond for me certainly adds some dynamics into the overall mix Gary v8
  15. Stranglers , JJ Burnell " Hanging Around " Gary v8
  16. Something about SC s that just doesnt work for me ...or does it ? But that is a work of art ..gobsmacking ! and luthiery at its finest . Does it play as good as it looks ? Gary v8

    Sean's Feedback

    Top Chap to do business with ! Many thanks Sean Gary v8
  18. Kramer Voyager allways my first choice for Folk or acoustic gigs Like Dusty hill meets Donovan with a of course a little dab of wah or envelope filter And if im feeling challenging a 12 stringer just for the hell of it Gary v8
  19. im in ! Venues hmm , allways a tough one and all depends on numbers re revenue + fear of 50 Hz rumble in adjacent function suites ILl chat to a few conference and hospitality buds and see if i can offer up a solution Bout time something cropped up round these here parts Sadly my house too small but i know some very good pubs ! Be glad to offer assistance also Gary v8
  20. A thing of such beauty I so wish i hadnt opened this to have a look .. Hope that finds a good home preferably close to me so i can take it for lunch one day Gary v8

Cor blimey guys you need to start a shop ! You dont need bumps on any of these Beeoootiful basses but have a late night with a feww beers one anyway ! Damn wheres my dodgy chequebook Gary Hic .. V8
  22. Ive bought a couple of the Tweeds and i can safely say theyre not bad at all Think they were generic manufacture but are both pretty well constructed, look good , secure , and do the job nicely The tweed will mark of course but pretty good value imho Think they came via Adreneline on the Bay with fast delivery too ( not affiliated ) Gary v8
