  1. I have one of these and they are great! Mainly for impressing guitarists though with the pretty colours... Good price too, would recommend to anyone out there.
  2. Just picked up a LM 800, GREAT amp. So much punch and power. Thought I could never cheat on my Ampeg but think a sale may be coming up.
  3. You are a lucky man. Any suggestions from folks for a good soundalike? Boss' SYB-5 maybe? Anyone with the MarkBass Supersynth with an opinion?
  4. Just a follow up on this one, I wrote to Akai and asked if they would consider bring back the beast but got this as response: [color=#000000][font=Calibri, sans-serif] [font=Arial, sans-serif]Hello and thanks for your enquiry.[/font][/font][/color] [font=Arial, sans-serif]Sadly there are no plans to bring this back – so its a case of looking hard I'M afraid![/font] [color=#000000][font=Calibri, sans-serif] [font=Arial, sans-serif]Regards[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, sans-serif] [font=Calibri, sans-serif] [font=Arial, sans-serif]Jon Bickle[/font][/font][font=Arial]UK Sales and Marketing Manager[/font][font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=4] [font=Calibri, sans-serif] [font=Calibri] [size=4][color=#5F5E5F][font=Arial][color=#000000][size=1][b][color=#5F5E5F]inMusic Brands[/color][/b][/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=1][color=#7F7F7F][b][size=2]AIR [/size][size=2]| [/size][size=2]Akai Professional [/size][size=2]|[/size][size=2] Alesis [/size][size=2]| [/size][size=2]▲lto Professional [/size][size=2]| [/size][size=2] [/size][size=2]M-Audio[/size][size=2] | [/size][size=2]MixMeister [/size][size=2]| [/size][size=2]Numark[/size][size=2] | [/size][size=2]Sonivox[/size][size=1]* [/size][/b][/color][/size][/color][/font][/color][/size] [/font][/font][/size][/font][/font][/color] Sheesh, they could make a killing from the looks of it.
  5. Jealous as hell, great pedals. I wrote a pleading email to Akai through their customer services dept and got a generic "thank you and we are not currently considering making them" return. *sigh* one day...
  6. I bought a beautiful Zebra Fretless from Carlos and he sent it over from Barcelona, Packaging was exceptional, tracked shipping with Carlos keeping me informed every step of the way. The bass arrived well and in once piece as well as him throwing in two bass pedals as a thank you. A gentleman to deal with, thoroughly recommend.
  7. I seem to be receding in my stagecraft if anything! From playing in quite a popular group with record deal and distribution on big stages, having passed about 15 odd years and now doing pub rock covers, is a hell of a change! Think that age catches up as well, but more from being in some sh*tty corner of a pub with a full rig, lighting etc doesn't leave much space to jump about. Still feels natural to do so if the song hits the right notes and mood, but have to find a balance. Sadly the days of screaming teenagers is a long way away. You tend to feel from the audience and react to their appreciation as well.
  8. Yeah, I have a great battery operated DeWalt hammer drill which my wife has to keep away from me. Shame really!
  9. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1364840170' post='2031566'] That's a drunk, late at night, bored, with a sander outcome if ever I saw one. [/quote] Erm, who goes home drunk and decides to whip out the old orbital? A woodplane I can understand, but sander?
  10. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321098272317?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Alas, that ship has sailed. To all the PM's see it here on the dreaded eBay... (cry's hopelessly in corner to self....)
  11. [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1364083188' post='2021863'] Looks good, maybe try a Chav-el next? [/quote] Heh heh heh....
  12. @Ashwood1985, completely agree, but it's fricking cool!
  13. Ahhhh, Steve is a legend. One of the albums (yes it was on record) was Live After Death. First time I realised that the instrument I loved could be part of the melody rather than helping guitarists be heroes. Still do a little bit of Steve's lines inbetween songs at gigs....
  14. Whee! Thanks mate, looking forward to giving her a good home.
  15. Last chance saloon before goes on the 'Bay.... Have a good Easter guys, need to sell this on as have bought juliusmonks Zebra Fretless... Must get them swapped before wife comes back from Easter holidays.
  16. Lot's of interest but nothing solid as yet. It's a tick tick tick tick tick tick boooooooooom to eBay by Easter. Anyone out there?
  17. She is a beauty alright. Erm, cheeky question time, any chance you are coming back to the UK or would include the shipping here?
  18. Just saw this now so have to donate some defunct bands that I was in: The Super Lamas MonkeyFace Velcro Jesus Ahh to name a few.
  19. Erm, I have one and have never really got the hang of it. Think that you do need to have a lot of time to find the tones that you want and actively use them. Great, well built piece of kit, but for what I do is probably too much. Back to a simple Big Muff and compression for me methinks. So, have one coming up for sale with the Line 6 bag n' all!
  20. Sheesh! Nothing wrong with covers. Used to love playing originals, however my composition skills always ended up being subconscious plagiarism. Alway better at adding to other peoples rather than making up my own. Things change, now its trying to find the time between work, kids and studying as well as fitting in the band, not quite easy. I have a great respect for original bands, not too many of them down my way though.
