Maxcat replied to kevin_lindsay's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='246582' date='Jul 24 2008, 05:59 AM']Absolutely pristine condition, Only been used at home. This unit has a gorgeous selectable 2 stage operation. So, you can set up an old school style valve overdrive to give a bit of grit to your sound, or go with the fully brown grrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaawwwkkkkkkk of a valve overdrive sound. The overdrive / distortion style is selectable between the valve, or solid state operation (GRIT being the valve operation, and the solid state is selectable between Silicon or Germanium modes). It also has a fantastic BRIGHT switch that introduces the straight bass sound in with the overdrive so you get the grit while retaining the clarity of your playing - very cool!. For info from Dave Hall's website about the pedal - go to: [url="http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/Products.html"]http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/Products.html[/url] The heavy duty PSU is included also (which costs £15.99 on it's own from Dave) £110 including postage. I have this listed on Ebay also, but would rather someone who knows about it got a hold of the unit themselves. and here's a pic showing the rear panel layout (it's the unit on the left. The one on the right is one of Dave's Tremolo units) [/quote] Im in mate. PMd -
Thanks guys

[quote name='DHA' post='112988' date='Jan 3 2008, 04:53 PM']Hi, When the VT2 is in Channel 1 only then it is really just a VT1 as it's the same circuit. The VT1-Std-Bass has the Fat hard-wired on and has boost and bright switches. The bright adds more treble and means you can use it with guitar as well and the boost adds clean boost to the valve path which means a lot more drive is available if required. Dave[/quote] Dave can I presume that the VT2 has the fat hard wired as well?

Bumpeo. OK make me an offer. Times is hard
-
Im thinking the Trilby. Just seems more substantial. A hat to plat DB all night.
-
The shuttle is the mutts. Cant explain how small it is but with such a kick. the cabs really deliver. I have no GAS left . Amazing. The Peavey was mine from new. havent seen another like it since I bought. Plays amazing and makes me feel like a 5 stringer although deep down I know Im a four.

[quote name='stonecoldbass' post='243591' date='Jul 20 2008, 01:17 AM']Nothing bass related, but i noticed the saltire in the background, you moved south mate? c[/quote] Mate Ive been down here longer than I care to remember. originally from the Valley of the Garnock. Where are you?

Time to sell my Peavey rig. Powered by MkVI head that Ive had for a long time. 250WRMS @4 Ohms 400W @ 2Ohms Hi/Lo Inputs, 9 band Eq +Low & Hi shelving. Built in compressor, chorus with footswitch ,Variable crossover, effects loop etc. Its built like a tank and has never let me down in all these years. It has a bit of mojo with a little bite out of the tolex at the front and the hardware (screws bumpers etc are aged) but its still pumping away. Next is the Peavey Megabox bought by me with the amp. 1X15 Black Widow & 2x8" . 250W 4 Ohms 400W Program. Bi Ampable. Same mojo as the amp. Finally is the Peavey 210 TVX [b][/b]with controllable Tweeter bought off a Basschatter in May. It is immaculate, hed had it 3 months and Ive gigged it twice. 175W 4 Ohms , 350W Program. Now I know its not top end stuff but this is a huge rig, versatile tone and big sound. Im asking £ 260 for the lot. Dont want to split really but if I have to Head £100, Megabox £80, 210 £80. More pictures if needed. Any Qs ask away. Pick up from Reading or I can meet half way within reason (50 mile radius)for the usual petrol and a pork pie. Cheers [b]210 TVX SOLD[/b] [

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='243353' date='Jul 19 2008, 02:12 PM']Lovely collection. Which is your main gigging bass?[/quote] Thanks Murph. Up till recently I used the Ric exclusively but since Ive joined the new band, I use the Stagg at every gig for 5 or 6 numbers and the Bongo has made an appearance. I love the sound it makes but Im in danger of making Ricolina jealous so Im planning to swap gig about on the Ric and Bongo.
-
My little lot. 1980 Ric 4001S BurgundyGlo Ive had since 81, Bongo 4 HH Rolls Burgundy with Tortoiseshell guard, Stagg EDB Transparent Red, Michael Kelly Dragonfly Fretless 5 Birds Eye Maple body Mahogany neck and Abalone inlays, Peavey Grind BXP 5 Blue Sparkle [b][/b]for sale [b][/b]and the Daddy Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 210T and Genz Benz 112T NEOx. Im going to have to go and lie down now. [attachment=10981:DSC05785.JPG][attachment=10982:DSC05765.JPG][attachment=10983:gbtilt.JPG][attachme nt=10984:DSC[attachment=10984:DSC05806.JPG]05806.JPG]

[quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='242570' date='Jul 18 2008, 11:50 AM']Yeah, I intend to leave it (once I've got one) sitting next to the Shuttle using the effects loop. I guess you can string stomp boxes together in the loop, with the compressor coming last.[/quote] Yes you can. The manual states the loop is intended for serial devices (compressors) and parallel stuff delays,reverbs etc. I put an OC2 after the optostomp. No dramas.
-
Ive got one of the Peavey Megaboxes taking up room if anyone fancies doing the same as Shockwave. Oh the Black Widow works perfectly.
-
+1 on the Optostomp. Very transparent but levels the playing field nicely and adds a nice dollop of sustain. I put it through the effects loop on the shuttle and it does the job nicely. I leave it on all the time and really notice the difference when I switch it off. Cheap and good value.

[quote name='OldGit' post='240102' date='Jul 15 2008, 03:00 PM']Nah down south ... near Bristol Airport ... in a tent full of pink cowboy hats and very realistic replica hand guns, a bucking bull and a well dead pig on a spit .. (rain was expected "hey let's fill the dance floor with gear!") Fun gig though [/quote] Sounds cool.

[quote name='OldGit' post='240088' date='Jul 15 2008, 02:43 PM']Errrrrrrr I'm clearly not in your league when it comes to knowing all about chaps According to Cowboy Bobs Dictionary, they were "Woolies". Like this without the dark bits [/quote] Probably dont want to be regarded as an aficionado of Chaps however in this context Im a fan. Were they seen in "The Nam"?

[quote name='OldGit' post='240067' date='Jul 15 2008, 02:31 PM']Ha ha well it's happened each time I whip mine out. Last week it was a woman in full on sheepskin chaps ... She made a happy man feel very old [/quote] Yeah I was going to ask you about that. Are we talking Shania Twain Chaps or Gloria Estefan? On reflection it actually doesnt matter.
-
[quote name='OldGit' post='240050' date='Jul 15 2008, 02:12 PM']Just wondered ... for research, like ... did a bunch of women in the audience tell you how much they liked the stand up bass?[/quote] Steady OG Steady Was that a Stand Up or a Stand Up Bass?
-
Congrats mate. Its a bit daunting first time out. Hope you got good feedback

[quote name='bluesparky' post='239902' date='Jul 15 2008, 12:01 PM']I'm thinking of selling mine, it's a bit redundant, thanks to some other toys I've got. Mint condition, but i've lost the box - thanks to a house move. How much do these babies go for, second hand?[/quote] Interested mate. First Dibbs please

Hi Steve. You will have seen the threads on the Stagg with nothing negative coming out. Ive only owned the Stagg so can only give you my opinion on that. For me it was the best value for money purchase I have made in an age. Sound wise it comes across as a Double Bass(not my opinion, everyone who has heard it including some pretty hot jazz pro's) Its controls are somewhat limited (Volume and Sub Bass) but that doesnt detract from its overall playability. It also features a headphones out and a Line in (MP3 etc.) It gets a rep as a starter EUB and I dont doubt that there are more high end models about, however for me I gig it weekly through a Shuttle 6 and it is the Mutts. Looks good, sounds great and I wont be upgrading. Hows that for a glowing report. BTW if you dont manage to get a play on one, Im in Reading and you are more than welcome to pop down and try it out. PM me if you want a shot. Stagg On

+1 to Jakesbass. At last we come to the common denominator. Music is supposed to be fun. Fun for those experiencing it and fun for those producing it. Whilst I feel for the originals out there trying to make it/maintain it, we cant forget that music is all things to all men and in this age of the State telling us with increasing regularity what to do, what to say or not say, how to feel and how to act, to limit a musicians enjoyment by implying that the music that he loves playing is somehow devalued by the fact that he plays covers and not originals is at the least unkind.(self edited) and at worst [u]another[/u] example of uncalled for censorship.The local music scene is made up of both covers and original bands, and long may that continue. Im off to do a dub bassline to Spiderman now. A cover, but not as we know it!
-
Welcome mate. There are a bunch of us discovering that size does matter when it comes to the Stagg. The score is 4 reds to one black at the minute I think. You will find this a great site. Check out the Stagg threads on the EUB forum. See you there
