TRADED [s][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For sale: [/font]Variax[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Bass 700 in Black. Minimal usage from previous user who bought it new and used 2-3 times by me. I really quite like this bass and concept however I've got other priorities at the moment and have too many 4 strings. [/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This bass is a lot of fun, looks good and makes great sounds. As a modelling bass, it aims to recreate the sound of some classic electric, acoustic and even synth basses - I found the P & J basses pretty impressive, and the Steinberger & Alembic sound is great too. Here is a list of the modeling basses: [/font][/s] 1961 Fender Jazz 1960 Fender Jazz (flat-wound strings) 2004 Fender Deluxe Jazz 1961 Fender Jazz Fretless 1963 Precision Bass 1958 Precision Bass (flat-wound strings) 1977 Musicman Stingray 2003 Modulus Flea 1971 Rickenbacker 4001 1963 Rickenbacker 4001 (flat-wound strings) 1966 Danelectro Longhorn 1963 Hofner 500/1 (flat-wound strings) 1963 Gibson Thunderbird 1966 Gibson EB2D (flat-wound strings) 2002 MTD 535 2003 Warwick Thumb 1978 Alembic Long Scale 1984 Steinberger XL2 1968 Hagström H8 1994 Hamer B12A Tacoma Thunderchief Kay M1 Double Bass Mini Moog Modern Bass Synth [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]These basses are apparently pretty rare now as they have stopped manufacturing them so here is your opportunity to own one![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Includes the original gig bag (very good quality), the power supply / DI unit – plus a decent stereo cable for connecting this up and the user guide.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]This bass has a great neck and is in near perfect condition, no dings or scratches and has been looked after well both by myself and the original owner.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I am based in Plymouth, Devon for pickup, however next week I am on my jolly treck around the country visiting family so will be travelling M5 up to Birmingham (can stop at Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester etc) , then onto Bridgnorth Shropshire & then Spalding in Lincolnshire if of any use....can probably drop off anywhere on route within reason. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I value the bass around [b]£375[/b][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif], obviously I am open to offers. For trades, well i could do with a 4x10 for our studio...something like Ampeg, Warwick, Fender or even one of the light ones Markbass etc. 4ohm preference but would consider 8ohm. Would also consider other cabs i.e 2x10, 2x12, 6x10 + - cash adjustments if necessary. May also trade for Zoom B3 plus cash my way or Lakland 5501 bass.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hope Gapiro doesn't mind me using his pics...i have given up on my old iphone for pics these days [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Also have Ashdown 2 4x8's for sale here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/184535-ftfs-custom-2x1000w-ashdown-abm-neodynium-mini48-cabs-with-flight-cases/"]http://basschat.co.u...h-flight-cases/[/url][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/font][/color] -
I got these in a trade a few months back with the good friendly Teamcoy off here. These are really great pro cabs, very punchy and loud but sadly are not getting the use they so deserve and spend most the time at my home....mainly because i'm using a 15" cab for my reggae stuff which lives at our practice studio. They are custom Ashdown's as the cab speakers have been professionally upgraded to Neo's, hope Teamcoy doesn't mind me using his explanation: [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][i][color=#0000ff]'I bought these from JimmySims on here about a year and a half ago. Before I bought them, Jimmy had them reconed with Neodynium drivers and had the flight cases custom made for them. With the Neo cones they are now 1000w per cab rated at 8ohm. They also have the newer style Ashdown grills (full width logo) with them but I prefer and use the old style ones.'[/color] [b]Both grills will be supplied.[/b][/i][/font][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][i][b]Original for sale thread here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172672-traded-2-1000w-ashdown-abm-neodynium-mini48-cabs-with-flight-cases/page__hl__ashdown%204%20x%208"]http://basschat.co.u...own%204%20x%208[/url][/b][/i] They are in perfect working order, the odd scuff to the tolex here and there but nothing too bad.

I'm seeing a lot more Wicks on the reggae scene.....Toots & the Maytals bassist Jackie Jackson has been using a 5 string wick for a while...so gotta be cool because Toots are like a snowball in the summer time cool

I'm a recent convert to a battered Warwick 90's Fortress, best 4 string neck i've ever played - currently my main gigging bass with my soul band. Although I had to whip out the actives and went passive with some trad Wizards...sounds lovely but still retains that Warwick mids sound...must be something in the woods theory
-
Go second hand!!! Try a nice 2006 ish JO4/5 with the Lindy Fralins -generally flawless and a wonderful instrument...i deeply miss mine...i had a DJ5 too - was great but i preferred the JO5.

The old ones are always the best

I have recently acquired a 4 string Line 6 Variax in a trade on here. I guess i'm still in the honeymoon period but i am actually quite impressed with mine so far. Agreed the model replication probably only comes mildly close to the real thing but it is a great idea to have many bass tone options on just one bass. The bass qualityitself is pretty decent too, i would say similar quality to a CV Squire/ decent Mex Fender. The neck profile is more jazz like than precision which i prefer although it is slightly chunkier in profile than a jazz. Quite heavy! Sounds wise, i am quite liking the 77 Stingray sound and the obviously the Steinberger sound for some reggae. The J & P sounds are quite convincing, particularly the P to my ears. A lot of the other basses it aims to model i have never owned so its hard to compare those really but i like some of the tones - the Alembic model is quite good too. The fretless & upright sounds are predictably a bit pants as are the 8/12 string models... although can be a good bit of fun for some ballad picking. The synths are not particularly great with the tracking as others have mentioned in other threads on here but you can certainly get some interesting sounds...for example i managed a nice Herbie Hancock 'Chameleon' bass sound - Moogey!. All in all I could see how this bass would be really useful for the studio...not sure live yet...perhaps to many options for me - i will probably gig it at some point though. I don't find powering the bass via power supply to DI box too bothersome either...in fact i quite like the idea rather than rely on batteries - you can however of course use batteries if you so choose. So to conclude I think they're an interesting piece of kit and definitely worthy of a dabble....plus i think these things deserve a bit more credit...but as i say 'i am stillin the honeymoon period'

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1344467657' post='1765211'] I have never tried fretless, but im willing to give it a go! seems like a great bass. so, yes! [/quote] Hi, have pm'd you back...sorry its late...just got back from hols

Fancy a swap http://basschat.co.uk/topic/182396-jazz-lpb-hohner-professionalfender-fretless-reduced-further-to-l125-more-pics/page__pid__1761511#entry1761511

I shall be returning home off my hols to a 4str Variax later this week....quite looking forward to it...although shame to hear the synths are pants...we'll see

Pre holiday bump-£125 + P&P ...how's dat sound? -
Time to bump this fretless
-
Having read pretty much the entire thread now i think i am going to have to pull the trigger on one of these As well as being useful for my covers bands i am also quite into jamming dubby dancey stuff with some mates. How do you guys rate the synths, envelope filters ? Also has anyone achieved anything dubstep sounding... ish?
-
Fender 51P has a trade pending. Fretless still up for grabs. May withdraw if no takers here and keep it.... or may eBay.
-
PM replied - still here 😉

I've got a white BB425, awesome basses! I want a 424 now!
-
Time for a bumption
-
It's somewhere between the two, not as wide as my P bass but then not as thin as my 62RI jazz at the nut. The neck pocket is fender size and is a nice tight fit in the body. Just measured with a tape measure, the nut is about 40mm with the rear profile being more flat jazz like rather than my chunky P, but not as skinny as my jazz. Hope that helps, I can take more pics of the neck if you like...although am off to work now so will be later this eve/tomorrow.

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1343234581' post='1747535'] That's a pretty fretless I wonder what I could get rid of - I have too many basses. Let me have a think. [/quote] Not only does it look pretty but more importantly it plays and sounds beautiful with very low action...i preferred this Hohner neck over a Fender fretless which is why i have had it for sometime...but i to have too many basses and that fretless day isn't happening for me (yet!)...althoughif it doesn't sell/trade then i will not be unhappy to keep it
-
An evening bump, no interest they're both cracking basses and the fretless will not disappoint

[quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1343060494' post='1744552'] The Telebass was once mine - wish I could afford to buy it back. [/quote] Yeah its still pretty much immaculate too
-
Forgot to mention the fretless has some funky old school capacitor thing in the electric's giving an even better tone.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1342987664' post='1743557'] I love that 51 Reissue [/quote] Yeah it is nice isn't it, can't fault it really but just feel it isn't me.
