    [quote name='steve' timestamp='1385727137' post='2291547'] Hi Clarky, can I register my interest in the Rev Solo if it doesn't sell? cheers [/quote] Of course Steve, I'm waiting to hear back from tinyd (who asked for precise measurements of the wooden block casing - for the record, its 4mm thick and 2.5cm x 2.5cm)

    Thanks Karl, I do find it surprising when Fender CS basses seem to sell more easily on this site for similar amounts ofmoney to 'real McCoy' vintage Fender instruments which will surely depreciate much less (and possibly even appreciate).

    [quote name='tinyd' timestamp='1385721453' post='2291445'] Hi Clarky I'm definitely interested in the Rev Solo. PM sent, Cheers [/quote] PM replied to

    [quote name='symcbass' timestamp='1385683653' post='2291263'] Sorry man. Good luck with the sale. Sorry again. [/quote] No worries, its just that keeponehandloose is more likely to read a PM than this thread Anyhow, as stated above, the Bass Max is now gone but the Rev Solo II is still available

    [quote name='symcbass' timestamp='1385679328' post='2291196'] Is it a Rev Solo 11? [/quote] With respect, why not have this conversation by PM?

    Bass Max is now sold Rev Solo still available

    Very sorry to hear of this awful situation. My immediate thought is that basses probably are easier to move on than amps (more aspirational) and that the most valuable bass you aren't determined to keep is your Musicman Bongo HS and the most easily saleable are probably the Squiers, based as they are on classic Fender designs. Those four basses would be first on my list. Best of luck mate, sounds harrowing

    Here's a review of a KK Baby Bass by BC'er greyparrot (aka Richard Raymond) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ7dluS7ZpQ

    But seriously (he said, hitching his stockings), very cool Chris. I keep thinking about getting a tat (I have five already) of Tom the cat playing double bass [attachment=149422:SOLID SERENADE 1.png]

    How did your tattoo artist find that old picture of me as my alter ego, Clarkella?

    Hi there, sale only sorry as I have enough pickups!
  12. Clarky
    Now that I have settled on the Full Circle on my 3/4 bass and a Shadow SH950 on my Baby Bass (in addition to the diaphragm pickup) my spare piezo pickups are no longer needed. So I have a K&K Bass Max [url="http://www.vivaceviolin.com/pp/Accessories/Bass/BassMax.html"]http://www.vivacevio...ss/BassMax.html[/url] and a Rev Solo II pickup [url="http://www.vivaceviolin.com/pp/Accessories/Pickups_Mics_PreAmps/RevolutionSoloII.html"]http://www.vivacevio...tionSoloII.html[/url] for sale. Both fully functional and in pretty good nick (the wooden block on the Solo hasn't been sanded down at all; it has slight impressions from being squeezed into the bridge wings but nothing of any consequence) £65 each including post or £120 posted the pair (new would be about £220 for the pair) Edit: Bass Max is now sold

    I found the Ehrlund excellent on my now-sold Kolstein travel bass, incredibly natural sounding. But paradoxically it sounded boomy and terrible on my 3/4 flatback wherever I placed the element. I don't think there is such a thing as a best DB pickup, it depends on the bass! My 3/4 bass has Full Circle on it (was there when I bought it) and it sounds pretty good to my ears and not (very) feedback prone. Of the piezo's I have tried, I like the dual wing ones best (Shadow, Underwood - with a bit of EQing). The BassMax is a pretty good easy-on/off option as is the Rev Solo (though the latter has to be sanded to size as its contained in a wood block). The David Gage Realist was good at low volumes but at my band's volume it tended to break up.

    Couple of pics* from our gig at the Old Queens Head, Islington last Wednesday [attachment=149364:LOnov_031.jpg] [attachment=149365:LOnov_040.jpg] * copyrighted by Owen Davies, so props to him for some lovely shots and hope he doesn't mind me sharing two of the many pics he took

    Little reminder-ette of how lovely looking this bass is [attachment=149315:Jazz1.jpg]

    Al bought some DB strings off me. Excellent transaction Nice one matey!
  17. Clarky
    Me again! Tom and I did a string swap and all was good All the best Clarky
  18. Clarky
    I was tempted and I don't even like 5-strings!

    Apparently the windings were a fraction (1/100th mm) out on a batch of 'G's and that led to eventually unravelling and detuning as happened to mine. The customer services guy Nuno was very happy to help out, recognising this problem, and even said I shouldn't have bothered posting the string to them for examination as they already knew what the problem would be. Good service that
  20. Clarky
    Agreed, I like too many players to put one person as the sole representative of my tastes. This thread is doing nicely as it is
  21. Clarky
    Thanks Peter/MS I contacted Nuno at Velvet this morning and he said he would send a new G to me (he mentioned there had been a bad batch and that they had to trash the production of them - sounds like I got one that escaped destruction). Hopefully all's well that ends well

    If you are having problems uploading photos, go to your Edit Profile page and then Manage Attachments and delete old photos. You have probably used up your allowed memory

    Update: I have packaged up the faulty G and will be sending it back to Velvet to see how they respond. Fingers crossed they will send a replacement!

    Hi Rabbie, you may be right although the fact I purchased second hand would probably count against me as anything could in theory have happened to them during the change in ownership (not that anything did). In a fit of pique I have swapped over to a set of Danny Thompson steel strings while I decide what to do. It has reduced my confidence in these strings having since discovered this is not a rare occurrence, according to TalkBass' DB forum. Having examined the faulty G it looks like it has gone 'floppy' at the peg end, almost as if the silk inside the copper windings has snapped. PS sorry Kev/TNIT that you encountered something similar and I am glad your G could be fixed, sadly mine is shot
