    Congrats! - Jon's basses are stunning, amazing, beautiful and equalling the very best on the market without the ridiculous prices. You're gonna love this bass!!! I think the third pickup idea is a really cool one! Good idea!

    Cheers alstocko! - It plays so nicely too. Comfy!

    Good point! I did miss that in the description. It's possible to have one of each of the three pickups, or all on at the same time!

    It's pretty funny isn't it John! It has to be mentioned that both this one and the very fine 4 string version in John's ad' are the sought after USA versions. I'll be honest, I very nearly started looking for the money for this myself! - but I remembered that it was a 6er I was looking for! It's actually the first time I've played a USA model with the Piezo pickups on too. I think I'm converted!!!! WOW!!! - Mixed together with the magnetic pickups it really seems to add a fatness and organic character to the sound. Best of both worlds right?

    Hi everyone! Well, here's an interesting turn up! Recently I have been working at a rather prestigious venue with a team of musicians. One of our new friends who comes to help is a bass player. This is his rather fabulous and absolutely spotless Parker Fly Bass that he would like to sell. He said to me that he doesn't feel that he'd do it justice - but I think he's a rather cool bass player actually. A really lovely guy! - Anyway, he has asked if I knew of a good place he could advertise it for sale! Not surprisingly my answer was yes, I know just the place. I've agreed to sell it for him as a friend, so hopefully he'll be ok with my advertising skills! I'll get the pictures in first then attempt to take all the information from the 'Preliminary Owners Manual' and get it here for you to see. This instrument is spotless! The detail? Sexy! [attachment=108926:DSCF2657.jpg] [attachment=108931:DSCF2656.JPG] [attachment=108934:DSCF2658.jpg] [attachment=108935:DSCF2661.JPG] [attachment=108936:DSCF2664.JPG] [attachment=108937:DSCF2663.JPG] The price for this fine example is £1200, including the official very well padded Parker Fly gig bag. I don't really want to ship the instrument, however I could arrange to meet 'halfway' within reason to complete a purchase. (for Fuel, Coffee, Cake) It's not my bass and will be directed by my friend on how he'd like to send the instrument to it's new home. We can discuss price/OFFERS and I will send enquires direct to him. You are more than welcome of course to shoot me questions about the Bass! Ok, so Spec:
  13. Dood
    Well, having compared the official specs between the two - there's a great deal from the 1006 that made it's way to the 36. I mean, I can't really see how the 1006 could have been 4 grand more than the 36 by viewing only. I have to say, it's a great bass. There's going to be very little I'm going to change (if at all). The 36 has medium frets, but having reviewed the Dingwall Afterburner 6 in iGuitar with banjo/mandolin sized frets, I'd really love to play the 1006 (with the same) to see how it compares. The Dingwall was a stunning instrument! You should be able to order the 36 through PMT as they carry a lot of Ibanez stock.

    FYI: The GK MB800 fusion is set to be out first quarter 2013, but probably better to expect that early second quarter.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1338066938' post='1669319'] Ooh I like updates. How will that work... or are we talking about a new model? [/quote] Yup, it's a new model in the same shell with a new display i believe.

    [quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1338047913' post='1669016'] Loved your review Dood! Very tempted to nab one myself, and an Ibanez GVB36 haha! [/quote] The GVB36 is a fantastic Bass! I'm loving it! I wanted to review one in iGuitar, maybe now that they are finding their way in to the UK, we'll have a chance. Interestingly, I snapped up one of the only three in the country currently. People in the right places, ya see! ;0)

    Ha ha, well, good news,the MB800 Fusion is being released for next year with tye valve preamplifier and features in! The review Of the head will be in Issue 10, the next issue of iGuitar, the current one is 9. Yup, I've flagged the issue re: Base and it should have been sorted already!! See, no one listens to the bass player!!

    A couple of weeks ago I reviewed the GK MB800 head for Guitar Interactive Magazine's Bass department that I write ( http://www.iGuitarMag.com ) ready for the next issue. For smaller gigs, I need a 'gig bag' sized amp and had been using my MarkBass F1 when the full stack isn't appropriate. Well, the F1 is going up for sale as I've taken delivery of ...an MB800! it's a great little amp that will be useful for the gigs I can't take a rig with me (should i have to journey by train etc) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=374635669255236&set=a.360995963952540.102977.132783403440465&type=3 Here's a pic of the review model on iGuitar's FB page. OMG is it loud!!

    DIY Effects

    Dood replied to JackLondon's topic in Effects

    Thank you Umph!! Very kind! I'm just looking at the schematics now and seeing what features I need and what I won't, as the pedal will need to be a self contained unit but not needing many if the features that make the signal path a full blown preamp rack. It's looking more 'do-able' as i study it further.

    I had an Epifani, but I sold it a while back. I'll get my coat then and leave with the epi-Faaaar-nie joke.

    I reviewed the Gallien-Krueger MB800 with my Shuker bass a couple of weeks ago for Guitar Interactive Magazine. My Shuker has a similar tone to an American Spector owing to the choice of pickups and electronics. I have to say, they sounded great together. The MB800 is now my favourite 'lightweight D Class head'. It really is stonkingly good. A nice pairing!

    I see the Snark is getting an update for added accuracy and tuning speed. I've got a PW on a headed bass, a snark for acoustic guitars and a Korg flip tuner for everything else. None fit on my headless bass!!
