budget bassist

that's very pretty

The 2 band vs 3 band argument can go either way in my experience, the two band is regarded as a more vintage sort of sound while the 3 band is more modern and versatile, neither is better than the other, but both very nice basses. That looks like a great example of a trans teal in great condition. Judging by the bridge and hardware etc looks like a '93 (or close) model. Looks like a 'flea bridge' actually, which to EBMM afficionados, is a little bit special. Have a gander [url="http://www.musicmanbass.org/"]here[/url] if you're not too sure what that means, should put your mind at ease if you're doubting if it's real or not. According to the seller he may have bought it used or old stock, but it's genuine for sure. EDIT: having looked at that site, it's a '92-'94 as that's definitely a 'flea bridge' Auction looks pretty legit, but as it's a first time seller, i would try and pay cash on collection, though the auction doesn't look dodgy in the least. If you like what you tried, i would definitely go for it.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='589174' date='Sep 3 2009, 10:15 PM']Selling stuff at Bash's is perfectly acceptable and makes good sense as people can try before they buy..[/quote] I agree, always a good idea as people can have a go. Plus, us BCers are buying and selling online all the time anyway, wouldn't make sense to exclude it from the real world

nice nice nice! That rosewood pickguard looks great, as does the rest of your rig! you have fantastic taste!

[quote name='Basszilla' post='585884' date='Aug 31 2009, 05:30 PM']Yeah did previously own an ad200 which is a lovely amp in it's own right plus it's lot lighter to carry than the gt200! In short, the matamp > than the orange. Tone is a subjective thing, but for me the matamp is perfect. Both good amps though. It's louder, has more depth, thicker tones, more snarl and is obviously extremely well made.. How much of the immediate tonal differences are attributed to the jj KT88s in my power section as appose to the 6550s in the orange, I don't know. The matamp is also definitely less 'peaky' than the orange in terms of the compression you get from the valves...smoother response, more natural sounding. I'll post some recordings when I can. I've got clips of the orange and the matamp somewhere....[/quote] What sort of music do you play? and can i be cheeky and ask how much they both cost? I'm loving my ABM, but in the not so immediate future, a full valve amp would be really cool

in case you forget what colour it is

Just thought i'd flag this up here, i have a sansamp para driver on ebay right now, ends tomorrow about 6pm ish, currently at £87 + £5 postage [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110427673168&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]Link[/url]

i still think that kramer of yours is the dog's danglies

i tried simon's shuker at the bash, and it really is amazingly verstile (also due to the addition of that J pickup), but it did a great stingray sound, and all the rest! I really like my corvette $$ for just that reason too, but i'm not entirely sure if you can buy that specific preamp from MEC or what

Saw [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WARWICK-STANDARD-STREAMER_W0QQitemZ160358544141QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item25561d330d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]this[/url] earlier, it's got a nice low BIN price on it, and a good bass for an intermediate player/someone getting into warwicks/anyone really! I'd be tempted myself if i wasn't spending all my money going to scotland shortly.
