  1. I agree without Jaco Playing it's just an old knackered Jazz,

    however, If Jaco's bass was auctioned with good provenence then i'm sure it would go for way more than any of John Entwhistle's basses, and some of them went for seiously daft money !

    No doubt it would end up in a glass case in Japan !

    Stanley's Brown Bass, Miller's 77 Jazz are both just lumps of wood to..... I'm sure there are better examples of Alembics and Fenders, but their connection to the players give them their value and desirability.

  2. Hi Guys,

    I've just acquired an Aguilar DB750 and i'm considering my choice of Cabs

    Gigs these days are mainly smallish pub / club type situations with PA Support

    I've gone for the DB750 for it's tone more than the huge power so i'm not planning (or needing) to run the head down to 2 ohms to get the full power. So i'm considering a pair of small 8ohm cabs. or a single 4 ohm cab.

    Options considered so far are a pair of Aguilar DB112's or a DB410 (also considering a GS410)

    I'm pretty sure the DB410 would do any gig I'll be doing for the forseeable future, however the DB112's do really appeal as a small footprint and easy to transport package.

    Is the DB212 worth considering in all this ?

    Would a pair of DB112's be authorative enough in the context of a rock band's stage mix ?

    Also - has anyone A B'd the GS410 v the DB410 ?

    Any advice most welcome

    Thanks

  3. Hi Guys,

    I own an Ash / Maple 2 Band Stingray, considering dropping in an Aguilar OBP1 circuit to replace the Standard Circuit, I just have a feeling that the Aguilar circuit might be a higher quality pre-amp and i'm going to be using it with an Aguilar DB750

    Couple of Questions :

    Has anyone done this ? - Any thoughts ?

    What is the voicing of the MM 2 band circuit ? - I know the OBP1 is 40hz & 4khz

    Cheers

  4. [quote name='GreeneKing' post='165602' date='Mar 28 2008, 10:10 PM']I thought I'd update on the Flea. I'm absolutely loving it, popped some new strings on today (EB Ultra Slinkeys) and actually had a raise the action a smidge, so graphite necks do move a bit :)

    I'm loving the tone when a little bit of bass is boosted and the mids are very upper middy which is great for a slappin' an a poppin' if that's your thing.

    Basically, I'm loving it, oops must stop repeating myself.[/quote]

    Pleased you and the Flea are getting along so well........ hell of a bass that just screams to be slapped !!!

  5. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='164042' date='Mar 26 2008, 08:26 PM']Has the bass been modded so that there is a side mounted jack and if not do you have all the bits to return it to stock?[/quote]

    Hi John,

    it's got a side mounted Jack with a mid control where the old Jack used to be..... the prev owner sold the original pups

  6. Hi Guys,

    I'm offering up for grabs a cracking Lakland Bob Glaub with a couple of hundred quids worth of Villux Mods..... Pickup, 4 position mid switch and tone boost, really adds another dimension to the Precision sound while retaining the classic passive P bass tone as well.

    Mods have been done profesionally and to a high standard

    The neck on this Bass is exceptional, feels every bit as good as the USA 4-94 I had, Really one of the nicest feeling and playing instruments i've had the pleasure of..... Condition wise it'as a good 9.5 / 10

    It's currently set up with Flatwounds and really delivers that "old school P bass thump" action is low and playability 10 / 10

    Only reason for selling so soon is that I've tried out an Aguilar DB750 today against the Aguilar AG500 I was going to buy (and was really happy with) Man that Big Aggie is Good !!!

    I now need the cash to bridge the price gap......

    I hope Peter doesn't mind me using his Porn Thread to show the Bass, I'll take some photo's later

    [b]Let's not mess around here..... I'd like a quick sale so i'm setting the price at £575 [b]

    [b][size=4]Price Dropped to £550 to secure a sale by the weekend[/size][/b]

    Cheers

  7. [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='163782' date='Mar 26 2008, 02:31 PM']It just arrived, gonna try it in a bit, but with my luck it'll probably be dead or explode.[/quote]


    Let us know how you get on please, considering an F1 myself

    The package looks too good to be true !

  8. Guys,

    Possibly the easiest (and certainly the quickest) deal i've ever done !!

    A pleasure to to deal with

  10. [quote name='Waldo' post='162588' date='Mar 24 2008, 12:21 PM']Fleabasses seem to be very hard to sell at the moment, took months to sell mine![/quote]

    I think everythings slow, but yeah, Ray's & Warwicks seem to be in low demand, Ric's & Fenders are having their day again !!

    The Flea's still here guys, happy to consider trades

  11. [quote name='Beedster' post='162520' date='Mar 24 2008, 08:46 AM']Hope it goes well Mark mate, look after my Modulus :)
    Only joking, thanks for the PM, probably for the best as it's such a beaut I'd never want to take it out of the house.
    Cheers

    Thanks Guys...... Just got in from the gig !

    What a Blast !!! Loads of RHCP fans in there...... well RHCP tribs are not that common on the pub circuit in the North East !!

    My Playing was just about OK I think I scraped through it..... maybe i'll put a couple of pics or vids up when they come in (if there's any interest)

    I didn't use my Flea Bass, I know i'm Crazy but I really didn't want to risk getting it knocked in a multi band situation !

    Had to make do with my Stingray :huh:

    Cheers
