Had a Wal JG nearly 30 year back,lovely bass that deserved a much better player than me. Wilson Sapphire from 68 and a Gordy Blueshift are the only British basses here now. Amps have been various Marshall,Carlsbro and Trace.An old Stingray head and Trace preamp remain.

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1484347456' post='3214938'] Are there good Peavey basses? [/quote] Dangerous question to ask a man whose house is overrun with them Short answer is Yes & No. There's some fantastic Peaveys like TL5's,Cirrus and B-Quads. Some average like the Milestones and Internationals. Some kinda quirky like T-40s.Just damn fine basses like Furys and Foundations. What kind of basses you interested in prowla ? There's sure to be a Peavey model close.

First thing is a very big THANK YOU to Merton for making this happen The seller wouldn't post and within minutes of me putting the correct location up when asking for help Martin offered to collect it. In fact he did more than collect it,he carefully packed it and organised the courier too ! What can I say bar the man's an absolute star. The Peavey is the Zodiac DE Scorpio. Dave Ellefson from Megadeath worked for Peavey in AR for a few years and they decided to do a signature bass together. Like the John Taylor Liberator bass the Zodiac was again chosen as the starting point. It's a 21 fret maple/rosewood neck with 8" radius married to an alder body. Hi-Mass bridge, Duncan Bassline P/J pickups and a shiny scratchplate complete the specs. Weighs 9lb. Couple of year back I got a Zodiac DE body from Thunderbird,put Entwistle Neos in and added a Millennium BXP neck.Turned out a helluva bass and reckoned I was good for Zodiacs [attachment=235842:Zodiacs.jpg] Then I see this stock Zodiac DE for £150 and think how nice the Duncans sound in my Dyna/Unity series. Put Roto Nexus on both the Zodiacs so I could compare them better.Entwistle Zodiac is on the left. Conclusion's as follows. Basslines sound nice but bloody hell are they quiet,the Entwistles OTOH are loud an proud. Nexus strings will be coming off the Entwistle Zodiac,the high output and zingy strings are a bit much for me these days so maybe tapes or flats.Flats will work well with the Basslines too,they don't lack range just volume.Not a problem if you don't swap basses often. Bottom line. Cracking looking bass with decent parts that I was lucky enough to get for little money.

Excellent news that DarkHeart. I heard from a fella who'd pre-ordered his and he was over the moon. Main issue he had was the factory forgot to drill for through body stringing Congratulations on the new bass and for taking the plunge.

AH . All becomes clear now. It only works on the quiet stuff. Cheers for that.

Well Americans don't understand satire. Better add that to the long list of things

Being bored over the holidays I thought I'd try a few pedals. Ended up with a bunch of cheap pedals Mooer,Nux,Donner etc and a Rowin noise gate arrived today,£18 delivered. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Donner-Noise-Killer-Guitar-Noise-Gate-Suppressor-Reduction-Effect-Pedal-NEW/201720973285?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38661%26meid%3Df1dfddd2d61343859585751160bb138e%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D282231019088"]http://www.ebay.co.u...%3D282231019088[/url] Now I've never used a noise gate before but I'm guessing setting it anywhere between 12 and 6 clockwise shouldn't kill the sound completely. Basically anything -29dB to +10dB is silent. Is this normal or duff pedal ? Cheers KB

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1483474560' post='3207513'] All's well that ends well... [/quote]And Thanks to you as well.

Was needing somebody to purchase a bass for me and within minutes of me correcting the location Martin got in touch. Couple of hours later and he's back in touch saying it's all organised,gets collected tomorrow and posted later in the week What a Great fella.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1483457759' post='3207267'] Do you mean Warrington? Never heard of Warlington and neither has Google! [/quote] That will be because I'm an eejit and put the wrong name in the post. Not surprised nobody replied when the place doesn't exist. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I hear Banjo Kid from Deliverance is playing ! Must be true as I read it in the Hard Times. [url="http://thehardtimes.net/2016/12/29/trump-books-banjo-kid-deliverance-play-inauguration/"]http://thehardtimes....y-inauguration/[/url]

Put this is the status updates but thought I'd try here as status doesn't show on mobiles. Does there anybody live near Warlingham, and if they do would they be prepared to get a bass for me ? The seller won't post it and the nearest I'll get is Manchester this Thursday. I'm asking a big favour here as said bass would also need boxed and couriered. Can't do a bank transfer ATM so the kind soul would need a Paypal account so I can square them up. Cheers

This fella popped up on the Peavey FB page,just playing along to tunes. Impressive player and gets great tone from his Zephyr 5. Lad's from Ghana so if you like African tunes give it a listen.

With all those natural laws being broken at one time ! How did the world not end. ?

The fella didn't buy it hoping to sound like a Ric. He just wanted a cool looking white bass to wear slung low while banging out root notes. Sounded like me in my younger days so I was happy to help.

My Retrovibe RV4 goes to a new home today. Mixed feelings. It never sounded like a Ric and only a very drunk person would think it looked like one. Still don't think of it as a faker. Nice enough bass though [attachment=234648:Retrovibe RV4 (2).jpg]

I'm no good at this. Took me 6 pages before I found one. Vigier Passion 2 ! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/294226-vigier-passion-2-ultra-light-weight-31-kg-sold/ Course it was sold.

Hard to find a room big enough for Clan Peavey let alone a settee [attachment=234629:Couch Peaveys (1).jpg][attachment=234630:Couch Peaveys (2).jpg][attachment=234631:Couch Peaveys (3).jpg][attachment=234632:Couch Peaveys (4).jpg][attachment=234633:Couch Peaveys (5).jpg] Nearly every model Peavey released in 4 or 5 strings.
