  1. [quote name='TPJ' post='1219239' date='May 3 2011, 09:55 PM']What about the QSC K10 things? Two way speaker and integrated 1000 watt class D amp with dual inputs. Just plug in your Fishman and you're off.[/quote] Interesting idea for which thanks but I already have the cab (a Barefaced Midget T) on order! Plus I was hoping for a cheeky low price for a second hand amp whereas the K10 is closevto £700.
  2. I fancy trying this with a Fishman as an ultra-portable DB amplification combination. The reviews sound good and its a shame that its (a) discontinued and (b ) only available in one retailer (Station Music in Germany) for a staggering circa Euros 1,000!
  3. This is now on hold for a BCer until 23rd May

  5. Bump in case you missed new pictures ^^^^^
  6. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='1218252' date='May 3 2011, 01:34 AM'] thought I'd agreed first option on it.[/quote] PM'd you and Wes to sort this out
  7. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='1217999' date='May 2 2011, 08:15 PM']Eh? where?[/quote]
  8. Two better pics: [attachment=78881:P1040213.JPG][attachment=78882:P1040212.JPG]
  9. I should also mention that its got a Jazz-type slim neck profile rather than the chunkier neck more commonly found on Wals - so if you are someone that likes a good handful of neck, this probably isn't for you
  10. Where do you start? Nice "starburst" finish
  11. Here's a pic of the inside of the control plate (pinched from SFX83, hope thats OK) showing the June 2004 manufacture date and details, including (what appears to be) Pete Stevens' signature [attachment=78878:GetAttachment.jpg]
  12. Given the gentle whooshing sound of tumbleweed, I am going to keep this and put it on my Bacchus Jazz and see how I like it
  13. [quote name='lozbass' post='1217626' date='May 2 2011, 03:09 PM']Very cool indeed Clarky - I've been getting excited about the CS 2011 P/J hybrid but yours is the real deal. Looks like nitro to me too[/quote] Thanks Loz, I am so smitten anew with this bass that I have decided (for the second time!) to sell my other fretless, my Wal (which is leagues ahead of the Fender in craftsmanship and sonic options but is not so "me" [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=133369&pid=1217532&st=0&#entry1217532)"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;#entry1217532)[/url]
  14. After falling back in love with my Fender '71 fretless (see Gear Porn post today [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=134182)"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=134182)[/url] and having recorded successfully with it this weekend, I am going to let my Wal fretless go. It's a truly wonderful instrument but the '71 is "more me" (being a Fender-head) and TBH, as mentioned earlier, I have overspent recently. So this lovely bass goes back up for sale at £2500. Its now wearing some brand new Status Hotwire half/ground-wound strings which suit it perfectly. [attachment=78847:P1040152.JPG][attachment=78849:wal.jpg][attachment=78850:P1040149.JPG]
  15. [quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='1217468' date='May 2 2011, 12:55 PM']Again. Is this nitro or poly ?[/quote] Thanks! I assume its poly as I thought they had phased out nitro by 1971? Although it does have a patina and wear patterns that look very nitro-ish.
  16. [quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='1217442' date='May 2 2011, 12:37 PM']Fixed.ish[/quote] Thats 90 degrees the other way ... but thanks for trying matey, it looks better this way than in my pic
  17. I got this bass a few months back from Beedster (who else?) and it had previously been owned by Shaggy and BassBod. Although I loved the mojo'd looks, I didn't bond with it fully for some time as I kept using the wrong strings on it (too light gauge) and couldn't get the playability right. Recently I shifted to heavier gauge La Bellas and it became a whole new bass for me. I swapped for some Rotosound TruBass for a recording session I did on Saturday (as I needed a DB type vibe) and I've found it hard to put down ever since. Anyway, I had just laid it down on the sofa in our kitchen (which Mrs C has adorned in all manner of bright velvet-y cushions) and it was just crying out for a porn shot! So here it is (edit: for some reason the attachment function has rotated the photo 90 degrees anticlock-wise, but just cock your head to one side and you'll get the picture!)

  18. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='1217213' date='May 2 2011, 09:21 AM']It's only like tuning down to C# and then not playing below the third fret.[/quote] But I rarely play [i]above[/i] the third fret
  19. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='1217205' date='May 2 2011, 09:12 AM'] [/quote] Thats the first time I've heard a RA Mouse and I have to say it sounds wonderful. Not sure I could cope with a 30" scale length though
  20. Its pickup only from Manchester and cash on delivery (so no Paypal protection). I presume thats why limited interest so far
  21. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Precision-Bass-/120717946821?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1c1b59afc5#ht_500wt_1156"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Precision-Bas...5#ht_500wt_1156[/url]
  22. Very rarely see these come up for sale. Bidding already quite high (nearly £800) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROB-ALLEN-MOUSE-30-BASS-FRETLESS-BASS-USA-JAZZ-UPRIGHT-/160578457631?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item256338d01f#ht_2030wt_1141"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROB-ALLEN-MOUSE-30-B...#ht_2030wt_1141[/url]
  23. My 71 P/J was converted many moons ago to fretless and the between-fret standard Fender dots were filled in neatly and new on-the-fret dots added. Looks neat and works well for me. Can't imagine its a costly exercise
  24. Gone to a BC'er on a week's approval
  25. [quote name='silddx' post='1216594' date='May 1 2011, 03:08 PM']Clarky, if it helps, here's the thread I started with before and after sound clips of my Jazz with and without your J-Retro. Also, this unit is virtually mint, it has no solder joints, nothing. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=123987&hl"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=123987&hl[/url][/quote] Very kind, thanks mate!
