    [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1362875957' post='2005826'] I just keep looking at this, im actually quite smitten love the videos it sounds fantastic and I bet the labellas work great I have them on my acoustic. Even if I never end up with this, you've definately put one on my wish list [/quote] Sorry to have cost you a sizeable chunk of money at some point in the future Bump with reminder of the rather specific p/x options in post number 8 above

    Good grief, talk about the ugly duckling. That patina beforehand is truly appalling and I can only imagine how much it must have reeked. The finished bass looks the bomb! Great job

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1362822776' post='2005159'] I'm still playing the last one of these that Clarky sold. [/quote] Did you buy the Fusion gigbag Dave?

    Thanks for the offer but I am well sorted for basses. One of the reasons I am moving this on is I have a glass back and the Takamine is (as you can see from the vids) quite a big instrument. Appreciate it though

    Cheers guys! I suppose I could potentially post but it would be quite pricey as the bass in hard case is pretty heavy and the gig-friendly padded cello case would need a separate box. I am guessing the lot would be £30-40 to post. I much prefer cash but would entertain partial trade offers (need to clear £700 cash at a minimum as that is what an incoming Fender A/E bass is costing me). Rather specific though - I would be interested in an Acoustic Image Clarus+ head (newer series, two channel as my combo only has the one channel head) or an Epifani UL112 Series 2 cab (to match my existing one). PS, this is the padded cello bag (£126 online best price) [url="http://www.fusion-bags.com/products-in-cello-gig-bags/f2-cello-full-size-black-16258"]http://www.fusion-ba...ize-black-16258[/url] It absolutely makes gigging with the bass so much more back- and arm-friendly

    Worth putting an Items Wanted thread up on BC I'd say as I bet you can get a decent piezo p/u cheaper than that. Loads of DB players on BC seem to have a drawer full of piezo pickups so may be willing to sell

    Be careful with the Realist, it has a 'hot' output that doesn't work with some amps. Its why David Gage sells a 'padded cable' for it

    Ed Friedland, the Bass whisperer, swears by his Genz Shuttle so your rig is fine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA8K-UXuAh4

    My view (everyone is different in part as basses respond differently) The very best amplified sound (my bass only louder, as the jargon has it) is with an Ehrlund EAP, a triangle shaped contact mic for which BCer daflewis is the UK dealer, together with its preamp. A cool £300-odd. Plug into your normal electric rig with as clean a setting as poss (or in the effects return) and its wonderful Cheaper but still good sound - piezo wing pickup into a Fishman PlatPro EQ bass preamp. Loads of piezos but popular are K&K BassMax (quite bassy I find), the Shadow SH950 or very similar Underwood (BC'er bassace swears by these), or - for a slightly darker sound - the under-bridge-foot David Gage Realist copper pickup. The best piezo I have tried is the Full Circle but this requires swapping out a bridge adjuster and is expensive. Some people hate piezos as they can be a bit nasal and require careful EQing. If you get EQ right they sound pretty good to my ears. Depends on your budget but for a good start I would buy a PlatPro and a used Shadow/Underwood/BassMax. The Ehrlund is fantastic but a budget stretcher PS, whatever you do, get a preamp with a phase switch if possible and either through preamp or amp have reasonable frequency control as feedback can be a real bugger

    Ah cool! Lawrence is a super guy to deal with. The Clarus head is superb. I have the single channel version in my Ten2 and occasionally regret not getting the 2 channel one

    Looks lovely. Hours upon hours of fun await

    Man, you have some nice basses! Is the PJ the custom shop special from 2012? - never seen one except on the Fender website. Our wateroftyne will be drooling over that one!
  13. Clarky
    Hey Steve, glad that you have found your sound with Acoustic Image - wonderful amps/combos for DB. Which combo did you get? Contra or Ten2?
  14. Clarky
    Thanks! Here it is being played upright in a jazz stylee (not me!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQHbU-n1wU

    Hey Kev, I WILL make one of your gigs soon but can't do this one. Hope its a good'un

    And a very extensive review of the TB10 fretless (which is identical bar having a tube in the preamp) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKEtECsF8To

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1362744019' post='2004083'] That looks like a really interesting gig you've got now Clarky. The last one looked interesting too, you're getting some nice gigs. [/quote] Yep, its a really good band and very eclectic - a bit of blues, folk, gospel and flamenco all thrown into a sort of world music mix - quite hard to categorise. We sort of describe our selves as "gypsy pop"

    ... I've just put mine up for sale in the Basses for sale forum.

    Here's a guy showing how it can be played upright in a 'heavy Western' style take (from the very excellent Phillious Williams): [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bjPMgoUX94"]https://www.youtube....h?v=1bjPMgoUX94[/url]

    I have owned this beautiful bass for a year or so, bought from Beedster. Its an ultra-high quality Takamine bass that delivers a very upright like tone and can even be played on a brass endpin (comes with the bass). The neck is heavily radius'd, like a double bass, and very chunky and it is wearing LaBella black nylon strings. Its in immaculate condition. I am after £1300 collected in London - it has a very heavy hard case and I have since acquired (for over £120) a padded, semi-rigid cello case which means it can be easily slung on back and taken to gigs/rehearsals. The bass will come with both cases hence I am after it collected (live nr Hammersmith, work nr Liverpool Street, rehearse in New Cross). Cash only, no trades please as I have enough bass and DB gear! The near-identical (bar slightly different preamp) TB10 is £2054 new at GAK (when in stock) which obviously doesn't include the gig-friendly cello case, so this is a net saving of more than £850 on new for the package Stock photo here: [attachment=129380:TAKAMINE_B10.jpg] Close up showing how big the body is (not my bass but identical): [attachment=129381:PB042204.jpg] Video of me playing the bass here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuaFpXdnJyU[/media]

    As someone who has never knowingly heard a song by the Deftones which album would you recommend I check out?
  23. Clarky
    Here's another Nige. €2100 or about £1800 new. You did good, hanging on to your one matey [url="http://www.doctorbass.net/en/producto.asp?id=1000171925&idfam=1000166929"]http://www.doctorbass.net/en/producto.asp?id=1000171925&idfam=1000166929[/url]

    Had you put this one up FS first Harry I would have had this off you rather than the Micro, especially at the same price!
