  1. Some photos added, but will try and get some better ones up tonight
  2. Hi All, Just a feeler at this stage but I am considering selling my Clifton Electric Upright bass that just does't get the useage it should do. It's in great condition and has a Realist pickup on it, and also comes with the original padded Clifton gig bag. The curved part represents the the shoulder of what would be the acoustic bass shoulder and the round pad rests against the inner thigh/above knee area and represents the back of what would be the acoustic bass body. Both are set back from the main part of the mahogany body of the bass giving you the feel and depth of a traditional acoustic body. The back pad is fully adjustable depending on your height and preferred position of the bass as you play it. Both shoulder section and pad are removable and the end pin slides into the body of the bass for fitting into the padded gig bag, strings and bridge remaining in place. Photos added, not much better though, but hey I'm no expert . I am looking for £1000 for it and would possibly consider trades for a non electric 3/4 double bass. Any questions, just fire away...

  3. My lined fretless MKII has dots at the fret marker positions.... I should edit this by saying that the dot markers are not on the fingerboard, but on the top of the neck as you look down onto it....
  4. What an absolutely interesting bass so in reality, how does it sound, do you have any clips we can all have a listen to??
  5. [quote name='GreeneKing' post='1369583' date='Sep 11 2011, 05:02 PM']From memory, it goes under a stacked pot. The instructions are online and give details. I understand that it grounds the pot. Peter[/quote] Put the springs under all stack pots and that will do the job but make sure you put them the right way up, widest part of the spring at the top bit like an upside down pyramid if you get my drift.
  6. [quote name='JMT3781' post='1369517' date='Sep 11 2011, 04:13 PM']Any advice out there for this? i had an east custom pre for my shuker jazz last christmas, put it in the bass, no problems. seemed ok at the time. Had a another bass shortly after which i have gigged non stop since. Just got into playing the jazz again, as needed a different sound for some stuff i was doing. The preamp sounds amazing, mega powerful and tons of sounds. But now there is a non stop buzzing in certain set ups... the config is: 3 stacked pots - blend/volume bass/treble mid cut boost/freq then a pull pot - master tone/pull passive The problems seem to centre around the pull pot when the bass is in passive mode its completely silent with the master one all the way down, as you bring up the master tone the buzz gets steadily louder. in active mode, the same really, accept the buzz is so loud theres no way i could gig with it. with the master tone knob all the way up, if you bring the treble control down the buzz goes away. This isn't true of the bass in passive mode though, the buzz remains. and finally, touching the knobs reduces the buzz, sometimes slightly, and sometimes all together. I know this all sounds like grounding issues, and believe me i have hunted low and high for a problem with the Ameter, but cant find anything. i've run extra grounds to the body shielding from the two troublesome pots to know avail. Unfortunately because of the way the pots come (all special and connected with that lovely multiwire papery stuff (no idea what its called) i cant test it with other pots... and its driving me mad cuz if you ignore the buzz the bass sounds class!!! anyone got any ideas? could i need a replacement pot of some sort?[/quote] There is a simple fix for this which John can provide in the form of small springs that fit between the upper and lower knobs to complete continuity and stop the buzzing. john will help you with this don't worry, its a known issue. tap up John he's extremely helpful
  7. Hi All, I have a brand new and unused EBS Neo 210 cab that is here for sale. Bought on the basis that i would be doing larger gigs than i thought, hence why its unused, and just gathering dust at the moment. I'll put up some pics later but like i said, its brand new and unused. I am looking for 400 straight sale. PM me if you are interested. Steve

  9. [quote name='Legion' post='1352847' date='Aug 26 2011, 06:30 PM']That was a price for each set by the way Just realised that could be misread...[/quote] Yep, certainly was, so I'll pass.......
  10. Have you spoken to John about the crackle as i think if you haven't, then you should. Steve
  11. [quote name='Pow_22' post='1350719' date='Aug 24 2011, 08:53 PM']Her in charge says i either sell it all and get the bassman or dont sell it at all and dont get the bassman. Dosent want effectively an empty box sat round. Can see her point in a way so a cheeky bump[/quote] Have the valves gone then??

  13. [quote name='bubinga5' post='1346673' date='Aug 20 2011, 08:19 PM']I was just thinking about my past history in the experience of learning about the different basses ive had over the years... there are a few i would like to try again to see if they feel as good as i remember.. the Sei had a big impression on me.. as did the SR5.. as did the Ostinato and Fender CS... these basses were a great learning curve.. if you could go back again, with buying basses in mind.. would you make the same choices... For me, i would have the Sei again, The Fender was too heavy, but it was killer.. I just adored the Yamaha.. (i got another one because they are so killer).. the neck on the AV 75 RI was the best i ever played... you can keep all that laquer though.. wouldnt have the 5 string Fender Jazz again... or the Warwick DB... one was floppy, the other was too small.. with your foresight, what bass would you choose.. PS.. if anyone knows who has the Ostinato Jazz bass..please let me know..[/quote] Your Sei, and it would have saved me thousands, believe me........ But then, i am lucky enough to have it
