Hopefully this weekend I should be picking up a rather nice '91 that's recently had a finish change from chesnut to blonde. She's in beautiful shape and plays like butter. Some modifications at the headstock, metal added etc but nothing too crazy.
Definately a keeper if I get my hands on her, especially since she's very much suited to my musical tastes.

oh and cracking top and bottom end!

Agreed. Absolute cracker, without a doubt it'll be a slick player if my GS Les Paul is anything to go by!

[quote name='Musky' post='263517' date='Aug 16 2008, 10:55 AM']That's an interesting bass - I wonder how it sounds with a mahogany body.

Mr. Digits picked it up for £250 it would seem [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180248143104"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=180248143104[/url]

I notice how the original seller says it has a high action, whereas the new listing just notes the bridge screws are solid but the action is fine for him. Seeing as he's already done some work on the bass (new logo and filled a hole, at least), I don't think those screws are going to shift anytime soon.[/quote]

Christ on a bike that's one fine looking bass. I got a GS 6 string and it's a Gibson beater. Cracking buy there, certainly something I'd buy given the chance

I'd put my neck out and suggest that it may be a Fresher.
I've got one of the bolt on models and the hardware looks similar, especially the one jack wiring.
Probably one of the later set neck models.
good luck with the sale anyway, it looks a corker

Bump for a rock solid reliable amp

[quote name='BassManKev' post='262952' date='Aug 15 2008, 10:30 AM']your sig says blx 260 watt?? that amp doesnt exist [/quote]

260 peak... only just realised that classes it as a 130, time to change that sig haha

Good luck with the sale!

I have the BLX 130 too and it's a blinder, I've gigged the little beast and it does the job very well

[quote name='steviedee' post='262783' date='Aug 14 2008, 10:32 PM']Yeah Allan Campbell lovely bloke not saw him for centuries.[/quote]

I don't think Charlie would have it any other way, The Subs are a lovely bunch of blokes. No attitude at all, even though I'm a lot younger than them they encouraged me and had the time of day to sit and talk.

[quote name='Jase' post='262665' date='Aug 14 2008, 07:47 PM']Ha Nigel Tuffnell...I'll tell him that! So, I'm Derek Smalls then? [/quote]

You need a handlebar moustache for that! and a colection of ludicrously pointy basses and spandex.
Talking of which you'll have to give this a look, it's insane haha

[quote name='Jase' post='262658' date='Aug 14 2008, 07:40 PM']Nah, Bug and Don are good guys....Sound guy? DI? PA? ......I dunno, how the other half live eh? Ha, I got no chance of hearing myself with those guys....it's like "here's my guitar and there's the door if you don't like it" Don must be the loudest guitar player I've ever played with.....always got my ear plugs, it really is too dangerous to play with those guys without them![/quote]

Oh yeah definately, seriously I think Dons got some sort of secret Marshall built for him... the model that goes to 11 just like Nigel Tuffnell.
Jollys guitar is pretty loud these days, he's got this Peavey Satriani thing and it's like a squadron of Spitfires. Lucky for me I've always got a monitor infront of me.
I had the joy of playing through a nice Ampeg rig not long ago, the bassist in Sham 69 let me borrow it for the set. VERY nice!

[quote name='Jase' post='262650' date='Aug 14 2008, 07:29 PM']Yes, we could do without all these guitarists.....pain in the arse, if I had my way, I'd have all of them shot OR make it law that only one is allowed in a band..yeah, that's better.[/quote]

I'm gonna miss Bug haha

I was never one to potch with endless pedals... DON. But With the joys of DIing and having the soundguy on your side there's no worries on sounding good and being loud enough, It's just a case of hitting the notes haha

[quote name='Jase' post='262632' date='Aug 14 2008, 07:04 PM']No worries mate, bring it along, chuck it in my new Hartke gear if you want, or bring that Ashdown Fly you just bought![/quote]

This is the Italia - Alvin Gibbs loved it



Aye that I shall do. Give the fly a go while your at it!
Tell you what I am LOVING being a bassist instead of guitar, so much less worries gear wise haha

[quote name='Jase' post='262555' date='Aug 14 2008, 04:42 PM']I didn't play the Quo gig, ( We weren't going to get paid so I didn't play ) the boys said it went ok though, Rob played bass.
Glad the band is going well mate....Tidy Darts![/quote]

Cool, let me know when you're local next It's been too long.
I'll have to bring my Italia over for you to have a crack with, she's a beaut

[quote name='Jase' post='262429' date='Aug 14 2008, 02:07 PM']Jarrad boy, how you doing? Pretty well by the looks of things!

Jase.[/quote]

Hello stranger, I'm doing great. Good god it's been a while

Played some crackers already, got 5 nice gigs lined up before Xmas.

Hows things with the Pride? How did quo go?

[quote]My mate from school was in the UK Subs if there is a big tall Scottish bloke playing guitar called Allan say hello from Stevie! Cheers mate.[/quote]

Allan Campbell? Not gonna be doing the gig we're playing. Jet is the new guitarist.

[quote name='NJE' post='262261' date='Aug 14 2008, 11:17 AM']Exactly, thats why I paid over the odds for this originally from my local music shop. I nearly bought from GAK but they were rude and I didn't like th guys attitude.

Oh by the way, its going to the post office at lunch time so should be with you soon.

Cheers,

Nathan[/quote]

Cheers.

Looking forward to gigging it

[quote name='stevebasshead' post='261544' date='Aug 13 2008, 01:52 PM']You fools!!! You shoulda clicked buy-it-now when you had the chance, now it's £70,000. Kicking yourselves now, aren't you?

D'oh >.< I've got the second thought regret

True enough, but how likely is it that the circuit board is dud?

[quote name='nick' post='261173' date='Aug 12 2008, 09:17 PM']No idea myself - sorry!

But you have a lovely looking bass there
Does it play & sound as good as it looks?[/quote]

I have no idea , it needs a nut and a bridge. Hopefully it'll sound just as rockabilyl as it looks

Absolutely beautiful... insane price tag though

[quote]Needless to say, nothing on the Gibson site for us to drool over (I fail to see how, in this day and age, a company like Gibson can issue a new model and not even update theis sh*tty site).[/quote]

Unbelievable since Sixx is Gibsons most popular Rock bassist. I think he's probably shifted more Epiphone T-Birds alone than the marketing department.
Lovely looking bass, shame about the inlays though, bit tasteless for my liking - should've gone for something more traditional or symmetrical

PM'ed

Posted this on another thread. Given to me by my Great Uncle. Made in Japan stamp.
No idea what model Vox it is, hopefully someone will identify it.
Cheers

Bump - Anyone have an idea what model it could be?
