  1. I've emailed John many times recently to ask if he has any plans to build a 60's Jazz he always gets back to me...... but he never seems to have anything on the go........ I've asked him a couple of times to build something in his own time..... no hurry & no hassle..... sort of name your price !! he politely refuses, it's a real shame as his work looks outstanding !

  2. +1 (Actually +2) for OBBM's products & Service......

    When I made a mistake on a length he remade the cable for me at cost of postage....... Now that's service for you...

    I use Monster cables and rate them highly, but will be replacing all my cables with OBBM's as they fail or wear out !

    [url="http://www.jollybeggars.co.uk/bass"]There's pics of it here[/url], along with photos of every other bass I've owned over the last four or five years. With one or two exceptions...[/quote]


    Yeah, funny that I seem to remember you buying it from me.....

    Forgot my old GB Spitfire and my New Lakland USA 4 94 DLX - Also forgot my 72 Jazz Sunburst Black Block & Bound, had it sprayed Shoreline Gold and it never sounded the same !!

  5. Hi Guys,

    Rare Chance to acquire what was a very limited run of tour jackets produced for the tour around 3-4 years ago, the sold out around half way through the tour so were never offered on the level 42 website.

    This one was purchased at Newcastle gig and worn a couple of times then put away in my wardrobe, having had orders from the wife to reduce the clutter in my wardrobe i'm reluctantly selling it.

    Only seen a couple of these for sale and they go for "good money"

    Size is XL condition is spot on

  6. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='33288' date='Jul 17 2007, 09:43 PM']What happened to the RHCP tribute?[/quote]


    It's still going ahead...... Full Steam !! just feel that I can do it without the Flea Bass..... The Lakland seems like a "Swiss Army Knife" kinda bass..... sorry mate..... should have said Leatherman kinda Bass LOL !!!

    www.TheRHCP.com

    not much there just now but keep an eye out !!

  7. [quote name='Hiperi0n' post='33259' date='Jul 17 2007, 08:21 PM']Lakland Sold..pending payment from Marcus...thanx a lot Marcus...
    so this baby will arrive soon in the U.K!!

    Precision 77 still available[/quote]


    Really looking forward to getting this one....... having to sacrifice my Flea Bass for it due to my "No more than 6 Basses at any one time" rule imposed by her indoors !!

  8. Hi Guys,

    Mine Played superbly, set up great and had a massive range of tones........... However I always got the impression that the pickups and circuit dominated the sound of the instrument rather than the instrument having it's own tone..... sounds seemed forced rather than natural. Maybe it's me (quite likely) but I thought the flat tone was a little lacking in every department...... I'd spend whole gigs tweaking the circuit looking for "The Right Tone"

    Great Instruments non the less !!

  9. Hi Guys,

    like many of us on here, I do my best to ensure I achieve a good bass tone (Good Instrument, quality cable, decent amp...... etc etc) I believe in keeping the integrity of the signal path and any weak link is lost tone !

    I've always been sceptical of a wireless systems ability to keep the integrity of the signal path......

    Well....... just invested in a Sennheiser EW172

    No difference on a gig...... !! if you sit in your living room and A/B with a quality cable, there is a slight loss of low end, easily compensated for with EQ.....

    Superb !!!

  10. Hi Guys,

    I've been buying mine from Guitar Guitar in Newcastle...... I get a good deal based on their RRP, they match stringbusters which is canny !!!

    however given the prices quoted here i'm going to start shopping around a bit more......

    Marcus

  11. Hi,

    First of all, In big stadium gigs everyone goes IEM so what amp / cab is being used is totally incidental cos nobody gets to hear it....... !! Not the Artist and Not the Audience because mostly they'll be using a top class DI to drive the FOH

    Anyway..... back to reality !!!

    Ampeg SVT's sound great and are Loud into the right cab, however...... in my experience reliability is an issue....


    Ashdown's never been my thing but I respect the ABM 900's abilility to provide masses of volume and crunching tone, can't comment on long term reliability but I did use one while my SVT's were in the shop (which was quite often)

    Had Eden do down on me (ooer !) their WT800 goes seriously loud into a pair of 410XLT's - possibly the loudest rig i've ever used until I got my MarkBass set-up (currently for sale) that's rediculously loud for 450 watts !!

    However...... If I wanted a bomb proof reliable, seriously loud tone monster i'd buy an Aguilar DB750 and a pair of 4ohm cabs @ 2ohms it's pushing out close to 1000w



    Mark

  12. Yep +1 for the Napster !!

    Top bloke to deal with when he was with Bass Centre Manchester, they'd have shut years before they did if it wasn't for him, remember when I had 2 Eden cabs delivered (one after another) both were busted..... he drove to meet me at Scotch corner so I had them for a gig !!!

    Outstanding........ I'll have to pay Music Ground a Visit soon

    Mark
