  1. [color=#ff0000][size=6][b]SOLD: [/b][/size][/color]I got this little wonderful combo off here recently and it really surprised me what a great, and light, combo it is. It stood up really well with volume left in a 7 piece soul outfit in the two gigs i have done with it. However I've since acquired a Genz combo and don't really need two similar combo's...although i can happily live with the TC if it doesn't sell/trade. Whilst both the Genz & TC sound great I'm keeping the Genz as its louder and i can get 500W which is useful for the bigger gigs. So this amp is a BG250 115 Mark1, perfect condition with RockSolid cover. Plays well, loud and plenty of tone prints ready to be uploaded which is a feature i quite liked. The original for sale thread and pictures are here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/240164-tc-electronic-bg250-1x15-for-sale-with-cover/page__p__2496281#entry2496281"]http://basschat.co.u...81#entry2496281[/url] I'd really welcome trades on this, in particular a Genz Benz Contour extension cab - either the 15" or 2x10" , or a small light amp head 200W plus, or a Genz Focus 1x12" cab, or a Lindy Fralin Precision pick up or £200 The combo is located in Devon, happy to send via courier etc.
  2. Top notch as always. Paul is a pure credit to basschat, buyers sellers will have no probs with this guy
  3. Could be up for this too if I'm not gigging
  4. Orange sorted my out of warranty OTB, mine was also a 2010. It was only a loose large capacitor, however Orange put the newer circuit boards in which also sorted out the hot DI. Top customer service and didn't cost a penny.
  5. [quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1407105729' post='2517462'] This. If you don't like the number, why are you playing it. If it bores you, try to put your stamp on it. If you can't, chuck it out. [/quote] Thinking about the weddings scene in particular, sadly sometimes we don't have the luxury on the choice of music! Typically I am either out voted by the majority in the band if challenging a number I don't like, or it's been requested by punters as a wedding first dance (some being so bad that I have erased from my mind), or it's on the set list when depping at short notice for other bands... I agree though that a little self signature is always a bit more gratifying on a tedious track. But heck if the monies right I'll play Justin Beaner or whatever his name is note for note
  6. I find 'Higher & Higher' tedious...particularly as i was requested to put in less fills ...'Hit the Road Jack' is a bit ploddy too, great tune though.
  7. Met with Dave at a service station on the M5, we battled the slow tourist traffic from both our directions but eventually met up in good time. Top fella, and great communications throughout, another credit to basschat - buyers/sellers can deal with confidence and of course thanks for the Genz Dave
  8. [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1406829511' post='2515147'] Don't take this wrong way but I liked the tort guard mark gave you more than the spitfire one, so I think I'm gonna stick with mine. I'm sure the bank manager will thank me for that decision too! [/quote] I'm still waiting on my tort plate from Mark, he did email to say there is a slight delay. I've gigged my P twice now and have been very happy indeed although at last nights gig I thought the E string appeared a little bit weaker than the others. However a quick string change and perhaps raise the pick up slightly may sort that out; tonight's wedding gig will be the acid test. I'm waiting for the bass to be complete before I do a RNBD (recent), plus it will have had several gigs under its belt..but so far I'm very, very impressed with my Limelight P, in fact I'm quite surprised I'm liking the P as much as I do...certainly easier on my back than my nearly 12lb J bass
  9. Bargain for £165. I picked up one of these combo's off here recently and have nothing but praise for it to be honest, i wasn't expecting much but really enjoyed gigging it in a 7 piece soul act last weekend - brilliant for the money. GLWTS
  10. [quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1406729770' post='2514150'] Thank you. Now slightly obsessed with this band already. The Bear Creek 2011 gig on YouTube is excellent. [/quote] My pleasure, I'm working my way through their back catalogue and loving them
  11. Yummy, i like....i'm considering
  12. [quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1406479063' post='2511791'] Point me in the direction of some! [/quote] 'The New Mastersounds' are doing it for me
  13. Great album...Skunk Funk in my bones
  14. Haha, was funny reading this as i thought I can effectively contribute!!! I have past owned a WT550, only a few days ago sold my Genz Streamliner 900 in favour of keeping my Carvin BX1500....not tried the Carvin B series however - i think i remember reading the B2000 was a warmer sounding amp. All three amps mentioned are fantastic amps IMO. Eden, brilliant amp, warm sounding, goes to 2ohms, probably the heaviest...fantastic tones, paramentric is great,, i mostly played reggae when i owned the Eden...superb amp 9/10. I wouldn't swap my Carvin for an Eden WT550 but i preferred this amp over the Genz. Genz, agree will Molan about the wooly vibe, i liked it a lot but i could never get a tone i really liked for my soul band, yet it was great in my reggae band. I found i struggled to get the mids right when gigging and was forever fiddling. That said it is a great amp, well built and looks fantastic - i feel i preferred it over the Orange terror bass that i had beforehand but that was mostly due to having more eq flexibility by contrast. 8/10 Carvin BX1500, far from the other two in terms of vintage sounding...i would say super clean, perhaps entertaining this 'hifi' sound people on here mention. But with the eq i find that i can pretty much get a tone I like for anything...it is soooo flexible housing two amps, can mix cabs, 1.5k bridged - loads of headroom, does 2 ohms, parametric eq, bi amping, less than 11lbs weight and 2U for your rack. It doesn't really do the vintage thing but i'd use my Zoom B3 in future to get some warmth. I did use an Ampeg pre into the Carvin which made for a great set up and gave the sound that more vintage vibe. Anyhow, recently I decided to keep the Carvin and easily a 9/10...it'd get 10 if the 12AX7 tube actually did something...maybe i'll change it one day to see if it has any effect.
  15. Yes fantastic basses, I have the P bass and previously owned the bass Pinball is referring too. A lot of bass for the money. I treated my P to a BassDoc tort guard and changed the pick up for an SD one, the stock pick up was really good but I prefer the SD for a more vintage sound. The P's have jazz width necks too. So yeah I highly rate Farida's and mine has been with me for a few months now...which is a miracle in my books

  17. Cheers chaps - feeling the Limelight lurvvve, I've managed to put it down now. Really liking the P vibe again, although i think I'll always be a jazzman at heart...but this will certainly be my funky/soul bass for some time me thinks...loving the sound with the tone slightly rolled off; I do wonder what pick ups are used in these basses. The white scratchplate is growing on me, liking the aged look of it, although i do love the tort/creamy off white combo...was Mark's tort any good or pizza? i see one of you had sent off for another tort right ??? I'll probably do a belated NBD when i get the tort - it'll sound better . Reet, might have another quiet little tinkle whilst baby is asleep
  18. Soooo...living in Devon i went to see my good friend Mark (aka Classic & Cool Guitars) today....er...came back with something, a sister for my 74Jazz: [url="http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/limelight00111pbass.htm"]http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/limelight00111pbass.htm[/url] Anyhow think i'm in the club . Marks going to send me a tort plate in the post though - (I love the look of your P Skej21), he didn't have one at the time. So, yup...pretty amazing aren't they, so happy with the weight too - i have to many very heavy basses!!!. I'd write a lot more but i need a P-Funk...
  19. Avoid Precision verses Jazz threads
  20. This was mine once a funkapon a time...it's is a fantastic Stingray and agree with the seller, Stu, it is perhaps one of the best Rays out there. Stu is a top chap too, whoever buys this will have a gem of a bass. If I didnt have my eyes on something else I'd be so tempted to have it back. GLWTS
  21. I purposely work part time and supplement my wage with doing the functions scene/weddings etc - nice balance
