  4. Have a Bump on me Joe! These are a fantastic upgrade for Gibson type bridges! I have one on my SG Supreme and it makes a noticable difference to the sustain + great adjustability! and it looks great too! Will.
  5. What a great guy -- Sorted me out with a set of Machine Heads, and sent them out extremely well packed and very fast delivery! Many thanks Russ! Regards Will.
  6. [quote name='john_the_bass' post='279492' date='Sep 8 2008, 09:21 AM']...that was supposed to apply a coating to the strings so it made them work a bit like elixirs or any other coated string? I remember reading about it ages ago but I can't remember who made it or what it's called[/quote] GHS Fast Fret is one of the most popular! Will.

  10. [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='278067' date='Sep 5 2008, 05:41 PM']I so nearly bought one of the Behringer units, but opted for a Korg DTR1000 instead. Cost £140, but worth every penny (or should that be "cent") Accurate as you like, whatever the pitch. Makes setting up an instrument a much more accurate process. Put it this way; Everyone else spots it, plugs in and tunes up. Only the Peterson tuners are as good / better, and they're V. expensive...[/quote] I totally agree mate, Just bought the Korg DTR2000 ( Its got a handy rack light as well ) Superb and only £137.00 inc delivery! Will.
  11. [quote name='bremen' post='277996' date='Sep 5 2008, 04:30 PM']Haha, Alembic nicked the design from Fender, then RG Keen (whoever he is) sticks the schematic on his site and has the cheek to slap a copyright warning on it. Alex is right about the unclippability of the input stage. And it does look like a bargain, specially considering how much Alembic charge for their version of it. Wonder what sort of quality valve they use in it though?[/quote] Sovtek in mine ( I swopped it out for an old but good Brimar ) Will.
  12. You could put some felt washers under the Knob, and hold the knob down while you tighten the grub screw to vary the tension to your liking! Will. Whot ----- no double entendre
  13. [quote name='ben_eat_pie' post='277320' date='Sep 4 2008, 07:50 PM']trump....[/quote] Is that you or is it the Combo thats Farting out?
  14. [quote name='johnnylager' post='277302' date='Sep 4 2008, 07:19 PM']Someone buy one and review it![/quote] Review in " BassPlayer Mag " or pop down to Leeds and try mine out! Will.
  15. [quote name='redstriper' post='276008' date='Sep 3 2008, 08:44 AM']How does the sound compare to the LM11 ? I like a very deep warm undistorted tone for dub and reggae. I was considering an LM11 but like the idea of the Hartke LHI000 with 750w into 8 ohms it has more power for less dosh although it is heavier. Steve.[/quote] I would think if the LH1000 sounds as good as the LH500 it would be an awesome amp for Reggae and Dub with the right speakers! When I opened the LH500 to swap the pre-amp valve I was suprised at the size of the torroidal transformer - its Massive, most of the weight of the amp ( and hopefully the Headroom ) is due to this beast! I have not gigged it yet, so cant comment on live performance. I just bought it as a backup and for bedroom use but susspect with the right cabs it will be excellent! Regards Will.
  16. [quote name='Clarky' post='275905' date='Sep 2 2008, 11:16 PM']The new Hartke LH500 head gets a great review in "Bass Player" magazine even if EQ options limited to Bass, Mid and Treble (all I need anyway!) - thought I would bring it to attention as it sounds like a really good starter head for a beginner or the bassist on a budget - or a damn cheap backup for those worried about their pricey "high end" amp at some gigs Made in China but amazing value - my Markbass head cost three times as much (although I love it)![/quote] I bought one and can confirm they are excellent value for money ( i also have a MarkBass LM2 ) Very simple controls but a good range of sounds. I swopped the Sovtek ECC83 Pre Amp valve for an old but good Brimar,and it made a noticeable difference to the gain ( ie LOUDER ) and also seems to make it a little smoother at higher levels ( although it was already very clean ) A very impressive bit of Kit at a great price! Anyone in the Leeds area that is thinking of buying one is welcome to come and try mine! Will.
  17. [quote name='tayste_2000' post='274178' date='Sep 1 2008, 12:32 AM']Offers?[/quote] Would you be interested in a swop of the Red one for my Fender Urge Bass? Link to original sale [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16336&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16336&hl=[/url] Regards Will.

  23. [quote name='dazco' post='272458' date='Aug 29 2008, 12:33 PM']LOL, there is no way you would let a sale drop for the sake of a tenner. AND we have not even haggled on the price. But I do not wish to barter with you like a second rate Tunisian, so the deal is done. Couple of questions though. Are the pics recent? What is an ABS case? What is the fitted TRC? Cheers Will[/quote] Hi Daz Its going to cost me a lot more than a tenner to drive to Preston and back mate ( I drive a big thirsty Merc 4 X 4 ) Yes -- the pics were taken on the day of first posting on the Forum and its not been out of the case since! An ABS case is a Moulded case similar to the Genuine Ricky case as shown in my photies! But mines not a Ricky one! TRC is the Truss Rod Cover! Mine is fitted with a Ricky one and the original Rockingbetter is also supplied. I suggest we move to PM to make arrangements! if you are still interested. Regards Will.
  24. [quote name='dazco' post='272401' date='Aug 29 2008, 11:39 AM']Grrr. I have no way of getting there.[/quote] Will drive over and deliver to Preston for £310.00 in case or £290 in Gig Bag! Will.
  25. [quote name='dazco' post='272383' date='Aug 29 2008, 11:24 AM']Can you get it to preston? Money waiting right now.[/quote] Could meet up halfway or will post at cost! Will.
