    >>> Ok, I spotted this lil chap on ebay recently and bagged it on a whim, because it has, on top of a full compliment of stereo effects, two programmable preamp/drive sections that can be run in parallel to each other - one making use of the two valves on board. It's a 2112 unit with the upgrade to the 2120 chip on board. (Both models that were on sale were exactly the same from a hardware point of view, but the original 2120 had a purple fascia) I played with it for a while, then realised I didn't really need it at all and not really sure why I'd want to try to replace my TC G Major 2 anyway! ha! - but then, That's GAS for you right? So, I'm offering it to you guys on the cheap - you can make use of my fine good nature and pick up a little bargain. It comes with the Control One foot controller - which has it's own display (as seen in the pictures) to tell you exactly what patch you are on and the status of the effects unit (inluding tuner display). It only requires one MIDI cable and no additional power to the controller, so no daft cables everywhere! - I'm afraid I don't have a spare MIDI cable - but they are so cheap off ebay anyway - and you can grab the length you require. The foot controller works absolutely fine, there's just a couple of niggles about the preamp though - the gain knob and bass knob, if you turn them slowly are absolutely fine, but if you spin them quickly they sometimes don't read where you moved them to. I can only assume that they need some spray cleaner in? Also, there is a slight discolouration to the very top of the screen. there's nothing to worry about as it doesn't get in the way of viewing settings etc. Finally - this unit has definitely seen some use and there are a few scuffs on the outer casing, that you won't see in a rack - but doesn't affect operation. So with this in mind, you can have this delivered in the UK for [b]£200.[/b] - I have a box ready to go! Pictures up soon - in the meantime here's some information about the unit and upgrade: Sound On Sound review: [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/dec98/articles/digitech2120.186.htm"]http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/dec98/arti...ech2120.186.htm[/url] 2112 > 2120 firmware upgrade : [url="http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/2120/2120-main.htm"]http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/2120/2120-main.htm[/url] PM me for any information, Paypal is fine as long as you cover the costs - as is bank transfer, cheque and cold hard cash if you come to collect!

    Ah you know what this little chap can do! but if you don't read all about it here: [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=82"]http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=82[/url] Pics to follow shortly, but you can grab this little fellow for [b]£420[/b] including England shipping. Few little scuffs and scratches on the unit, hence low price - but nothing that interferes with operation.

    I have a book in front of me that says that "when playing with fingers, only the index and middle finger should be used and never the thumb" nawww bless!! Well, that's Victor Wootten, Billy Sheehan, Larry Graham, Steve Harris, Stuart Hamm and a few million other Bass Players laughing!

    Dood replied to HeadLove's topic in Bass Guitars

    Yup as Rich says. I think these models with the Maple wings and Wenge/Maple neckthru were superior to the later Toby Pro 2 with a bubinga body, where QC seemed to have dropped to get the price of the models down. Don't get me wrong, they weren't 'bad', but the models like the one above were very very well built for the money. I'm not sure that the Bubinga models were specifically called Pro 2 btw, I seem to recall one website refering to them in order to distinguish them from the previous version. I've owned two and my Shuker basses are more than just a little bit modelled on them.

    [quote name='tinyviking' post='1180568' date='Mar 29 2011, 11:05 AM']Yeah, should look very shiny with the Hartke rig! worried now as I looked around for reviews and found [url="http://forum.tcelectronic.com/viewtopic.php?id=2299"]this post [/url] on the TC forum... So it doesn't like low B strings? I find that hard to fathom. Surely it must be fine - they don't make a seperate BASS version.[/quote] Hey fella! Hmm 'interesting' linked post! - Can't help thinking they're being a bit like a bunch of moany old women though! Well - I honestly I have to say that I've never noticed! So I guess it can't be all bad eh? - It doesn't like the F# on my 7 string though. Thing is, if a tuner takes any more than a few seconds to find the note, then I just play the harmonic at the 12th fret of said string instead - an octave up and a far cleaner note for the tuner to pick up. Maybe I do that automatically? but hey - I didn't buy the GM2 for it's tuner - I bought it because the processor and D/A's eat the competition alive. ;o) I used to have a naff ole tuner years ago - and I found that playing the *next* octave up harmonic (the one you find on the 5th fret) instead and it tracked absolutely fine. [quote]Anyway, if Dood says it's OK then it must be OK.[/quote] Awww! I'm touched! That really means a lot and I appreciate it loads! [EDIT] - I'm such a dummy! - I forgot that the GM2 has 4 modes of tuner! - two of them, one 'fine' tune and the other 'coarse' tune are both for Bass.

    Ashdown MiBass

    [quote name='eude' post='1183573' date='Mar 31 2011, 05:13 PM']From what I've read, it's going to be substantially smaller and lighter than the LittleGiants, no word on power though. Should be on the Ashdown site soon and will be launched at Musikmesse, very very soon... Thing is, I'd love to like Ashdown gear, but in my experience, either the quality control has gone wanting, or if it does work, it just doesn't sound great. Having said that, they really seem to have pulled their socks up recently, all the valve stuff they've recently released is apparently brilliant! If they can manage to bring out something that can seriously keep up with the new Genz Benz, Mark Bass or Gallien Krueger offerings, I'd be happy to buy British Eude[/quote] I see the mention of using a B&O power amp section - which I think is being used in other lightweight amps. Genz & MarkBass??

    [quote name='BassPhoto' post='1183193' date='Mar 31 2011, 12:14 PM']Hi bass chatters! I finally turned up several weeks after Dood gave me his card. World domination in photography has taken up my time. I'm fromBristol and I play a Hohner B2 active cricket bat Steinberger type bass, with stainless steel strings cos I'm allergic to Nickel. I also have a 5 string and a fretless.[/quote] Hey!! Welcome aboard too! - OOohhh I like the B2 basses! - I've just stopped myself from buying a DB version off ebay! - I totally don't need another bass, but I nearly got bitten by the bug to have one!!

    [quote name='patch006' post='1183570' date='Mar 31 2011, 05:12 PM'][quote it's such good quality - me confused I think this forum has alot to do with it, this is a great place to get advice. So many Gas quenching bargains come up for sale, hence the reason I have had six different amps and prob the same amount of trades/sales on basses in the last 12 months. I have now settled for the RH450 because it is great very versitile with very practical usable features, as you say very solid build quality.[/quote] Ha ha ha!!! We posted pretty much the same response within minutes of each other!!

    It's the fault of BassChat as a forum. No one ever suffers from G.A.S until they join up - then they wanna change their gear every five seconds! Nothing wrong with the gear at all. Man, are we fickle??? I've gone through so much gear since Bassworld forum v.1!!!

Did you ever do anything about the WWRY thing? N[/quote] Hey mate! - I haven't followed up the WWRY thing just yet - I've had some other bits n bobs to tend to, so didn't wanna ask then not be able to turn up. I will def do as you suggested, it's a great opportunity! I'd love to have a Red Special, but cash needs to be diverted elsewhere! (Bass gear usually ha ha!!) Dooooooooooooooooood

Awesome amp![/quote] Ahh!! I know I bang on about these cabs a lot, they sound awesome - The SVT 2 Pro is a monsterous beast too and sounds great, good luck with the sale!

    [quote name='MythSte' post='1178998' date='Mar 27 2011, 11:41 PM']I would imagine that they're suggesting that TC cabs that are rated at 8 ohms are actually measuring 8 or above, and that other manufacturers may be below. It makes sense that they are covering themselves with a sort of margin for error with regards to other cabs.[/quote] That's kinda what I had in mind - if each individual TC speaker manufactured was only say half an ohm higher, then multiples of the cabinets would present a high enough load not to fry the amp - whereas, as Ste as rightly pointed out, there is no way of being sure that another manufacturer hasn't been less than accurate with their own ratings.

    [quote name='chrismuzz' post='1176786' date='Mar 26 2011, 12:56 AM']Guitar Pro is actually tab software, but it also makes an attempt at converting the tab to standard music notation. You can also choose whether to display the tab/music/both, and print them out. If you've not tried it already it might be worth a shot [/quote] I think the early versions were more directed at Tab and 'did' notation - I'd highly recommend version 6 though as it's GUI is a massive improvement over 5 - it allows you to insert standard notation cleanly and simply. Yup, I'd recommed it too.
