    Um...wow.

    They are all of top quality. The difference in woods is a big factor on the price but generally the sonic differences are minimal, they are P basses and sound like P basses. I have a 1990 Jap P with basswod body and US pickups and let me tell you...it is the best sounding P I've heard. Maybe the difference is in the pickups , so it is not woods you should avoid but pickups. Having said that, I doubt the jap pickups can be as bad as the mexican ones. They are more expensive now as fender has raised their prices in 2009, after raising them in 2007. Also, you get the export and nonexport models. export ones intended for us and are relatively easy to get hold of and generally cheaper. Non export ones are the more fancy and interesting models, including the premium ones - they can get very expensive and are usually only availabe through a private import or ebay. Find a used one, I havn't noticed their rarity, but maybe that's because I own one.

    I've had only a few in my 5 years playing. 1st: Encore P bass, loved it, sold it to a mate for £50 to fund... 2nd: MIM fretless jazz. I really didn't know what fretless really meant in terms of sound, or what a jazz bass was good for but I loved it too. prettiest bass ever in 'agave blue' 3rd: I had an obsession with 5 strings at some point, so I bought a dean 5er that I still do not know the name of...just said 'dean' on its oddly shaped headstock. Great sounding bass other than the B which was horrific. Very clean active sound, but it made me want something simpler, so I sold it (for double what I payed) to buy... 4th: MIJ P bass. Have it still, it's a p bass. Super cool, love it. 5th: MM stingray 4. Love it love it love it love it. Sparkly and orange, funkiest monster in the universe. 6th: I really had the whole MM thing going on so I bsold my jazz to buy a fretless ray. This is the nicest bass I have ever played...so effortless and you can literally feel the quality in your hands. Natural with incredible birdseye neck. That leaves me with the P, and 2 rays. I want a bongo 5HH, 4H and a G&L JB-2. Then I'm set for basses.

    [quote name='mathewsanchez' post='390298' date='Jan 24 2009, 12:00 PM']I think I could just about put my P bass GAS on hold to buy that bongo. Somebody has to buy my fretless status first though.[/quote] You'd better not! My bongo deal pretty much fell through and therefore I can't have a bongo anymore. That means if you get a bongo you'll be able to gloat at me and I hate it when it is that way round. You want a P bass? BUY MINE...

    Yes, sure. Postage will probably be more, but i'll check it out.

    I am looking to sell this classic pedal for the tidy sum of £90. No trades please, as I have bought tickets to see the prodigy and they were 'tre expensive' It is perfect working condition, and excellent cosmetic condition. A few inevitable scratches on that painted metal sheet box. This is the old style, which is infinitley cooler. Also has original box, but not original power supply (I've had so many and they keep breaking) so it comes with a variable voltage psu which works great. About £10 postage would cover it I reckon. Pics soon - PM for questions.

    Damn you mat.

    Hello fellow suffolk dweller! Yes, show us what you got!

    It's going to norway!

    Deal fell through. Someone jump on it before it goes to norway!

    Yes, this is basschat, not guitarchat! If it were guitarchat we would all be running amok and dogs would run wild and we would be hunted on a regular basis by people who want to sell musical instruments in exchange for gold coins in order to ruin our day. Or...being basschat and a friendly place we could just let this gentleman sell his guitars. We welcome musicians and funkateers, with basses or the other things.

    Is it wrong for a budding bass player to try and sell his guitars? No. Is it wrong that he advertise on a bass forum in which he is a member? No. Is it wrong that he has posted in ebay links and not 'bass guitars for sale'? No. Is it wrong for people to go out of their way to act like asses and demand a higher 'authority' to put their (deranged?) mind at rest? well...yes, it is.

    Oh and also, this thing adds FANTASTIC clarity, warmth and just a much nicer character to the microsynth. It really makes it come alive. I think I may have to sell the synth when this goes because it wont sound the same.

    Hallooo!

    Duarte replied to mouthman's topic in Introductions

    You're a hit already! Welcome! What kinda stuff do you play and what gear do you have?
  20. Duarte
    Blump.
  21. Duarte
    Should probably say that it does not come with original box but does have the PSU and original (hugely informative) manual.
  22. Duarte
    GASless? impossible!

    [quote name='jxljxl' post='333813' date='Nov 21 2008, 01:23 PM']I'll give you £300.[/quote] james, don't spam my threads. But if you seriously want it, I'll trade it for your POG? I will consider part exchanges, especially interested in envelope filters and good compressors.

    Guys, here it is... The almighty bass murf by moog, gives sequenced analogue filter effects. Phasing effects, backward 'timbral morphing' and can be set to no animation so it acts as an extremely powerful filter bank. Moog are regarded as one of the best synthesizer companies around, and their filters are the warmest sounding out there. Has tap tempo footswitch jack (footswitch not included) and expression pedal inputs fr every control, and in typical moog fashion, can be connected to other moogerfoogers and voltage controlled gear. This allows for some crazy endless possibilities. Accepts any input, but is optimised for bass frequencies. I run a drum machine through it and it sounds super sweet. Check out samples at [url="http://www.moogmusic.com/moogerfooger/?section=product&product_id=215"]http://www.moogmusic.com/moogerfooger/?sec...;product_id=215[/url] and some regular non bass murf [url="http://www.moogmusic.com/moogerfooger/?section=product&product_id=117"]http://www.moogmusic.com/moogerfooger/?sec...;product_id=117[/url] This is a high end bit of kit, worthy of studio or stage use. Extremely high quality. The only problem with the unit is some cosmetic damage on the wood panelling (yes, wood panelling!) but otherwise in perfect working and good cosmetic condition. I would really prefer not to sell, but I need monies for Uni and travelling. Looking at offers around £200, but I am very flexible.

    this definately is NOT a bump... ok it is. It actaully turns out that I now really need cash. I reckon the mu-tron will have to wait, and therefore I am keeping the Qtron to get envelope sounds. MuRF still for sale and possibly phasor for the right price.
