  1. Re Elixers they'll not last long if you play with a pick...... the coating come off after a couple of songs I hate the damn things..... I bought 2 sets for a pair of gigging basses, strung them up and they were on less than an hour horrible !!!!

  4. OK....... so that's me up to date with the PM's I guess it could have sold at least 3 times over from the PM's in the last couple of hours.... meanwhile.... a certain cheeky chappie up north snook in on the blind side with a text to clinch the deal !!! Hence Sold Pending the folding stuff

  12. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='477924' date='May 2 2009, 07:19 PM']Living with this Squier & Lakkie JO I'm kinda getting used to those big old planks! The weight is my main consideration these days, I knew your UV was light but I didn't realise it was 'that' light.[/quote] Aye...... it's a lot lighter than most NYC Sadowskys !! Although..... i'm not sure i'm supposed to say that in public !!!
  13. [quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='477913' date='May 2 2009, 07:02 PM']Marcus really knows what he's talking about when it comes to basses! so you buy/trade with confidence looking forward to seeing the pics [/quote] Hey Chris..... you're not so shabby ya'self mate !! Been listening to your Demo CD again this week, looking forward to hearing your full studio recording ATB Mark
  14. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='477902' date='May 2 2009, 06:50 PM']You just know what I'm going to ask... ?lb[/quote] It's a Big Body man !! It's a smidge under 9lb (on my bathroom scales) as a comparison my Ultra light Sadowsky UV 70 Metro is 8 1/4 lb (as measured by Dave Wilson on his scales) I'd class it as a "good weight" for a Jazz to me that means on the light side of mid weight
  15. Hi Guys, I have a rather nice Fender Jazz USA 1995 Alder Body, Sunburst, Rosewood board. White Pickguard Everything Original recently taken by me as PX for something else.... Anyone who knows me will know I don't buy crap Jazz Basses so be assured this one is a goodun !! Also..... anyone who knows me knows I don't mess about buying and selling stuff once i've made my mind up on something !! [b]So the price is....... £SOLD collected from my front door[/b] I'm afraid the Bass was seperated from it's case at some point in the past, I can provide a good Ritter Gig Bag for a Tenner Very Very Growly tone, one of the best back pickup sounds i've heard from a Jazz Bass, in Passive mode the "Trad Jazz Bass" tone is a match for my Sadowsky (It's a different ball game in active mind) few little minor scuffs and little bit of belt rash but overall in super condition for a regularly gigged 14 year old bass PM me or call me on 07818 044187 ATB Mark
  16. ooooh that's nice !!!
  17. Nic Vic & Steve Bass Jam from Namm !! Check out the drummer..... nice stereo effect on the drums if you can listen on a decent set of speakers & hit the HQ button Enjoy [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoHISMEYvVA&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoHISMEYvVA...player_embedded[/url]
  18. [quote name='Fran Diaz' post='467083' date='Apr 19 2009, 11:03 PM']I can play any style of music with my Sadowsky and it sounds great. I have zero GAS for any other bass brand. [/quote] + 1 I'm having the neck "glossed" on my UV70 - (just think a 70's Jazz should have a glossy neck) , i'm havinbg the work done by Dave Wilson who does the finishing on Stefan Sobel's £20k acoustics..... it won't be a fender "dipped in lacquer sticky as anything" jobbie like the USA 75 Reissues.... You get my Sadowsky when you prize it from my cold dead hands......
  19. I've been really blessed with owning some of the nicest precisions and Jazzes around..... eg see Custom Shop Ltd Ed 1958 (1 of 100) in Avatar You know what ? the best precision sound i've heard is from the neck pup of my sadowsky UV70 with a little bit of treble added for bite !! P tone to die for !!
  20. [quote name='Zoe_BillySheehan' post='467720' date='Apr 20 2009, 06:32 PM']Damn..wow.. that was amazing!! :| Z xx[/quote] +1 Awesome skills !!
  21. [quote name='Musicman20' post='467477' date='Apr 20 2009, 02:22 PM']Im mainly a passive guy apart from MM Stingray. Im looking for a good rock tone basically....with some hi fi as an option. Only thing is, I wont be using GK cabs....I cant afford yet more cabs.[/quote] Interesting term Hi-Fi If you want clean and defined the GK does that in spades, with power and authority to add into the equation, perfect for Rock. If you want "Jazzy airyness" and pure tonal transparency then maybe there's better heads out there... I really don't know the GB head at all, but it sounds like you'd like what the GK does.
  22. The GK head takes some beating in a live situation..... to me it's voiced very much toward sounding great in a band mix as opposed to giving a great bedroom tone, you could easily choose another amp in a shop / house A'B demo, plug a Jazz bass into it with a decent cab/s and it's tone heaven !
  23. [quote name='pete.young' post='466298' date='Apr 18 2009, 06:36 PM']Good luck - there are plenty of Victors but Bela is absolutely a one-off.[/quote] Good luck with finding a futureman too !!!
  24. Ha'Way man get a move on....... i'd have had it done by now !!! ..... mind it would have been Rubbish
