    I srtill think they are great pedals/DIs, no matter what. The Tone Hammer is much more versatile, but if you want an old school grindy pedal with a decent DI, this is where its at.

    [quote name='acidbass' post='620152' date='Oct 8 2009, 12:06 AM']I've been eyeing up the USA Joe Osborn models over the last few days, but having contacted a few dealers to check their availability, it seems we in the UK are limited to Skyline models unless we import them ourselves (and suffer huge duty as a result) My wallet may well thank me though if I do go for a Skyline![/quote] I've ordered a new Skyline JO5, and even though ive got a little wait, im really excited about it. Ive heard nothing but good things

    [quote name='bassatnight' post='620114' date='Oct 7 2009, 11:34 PM']Right, I am getting slowly peed off with this. I paid £669 from GAK for this bass three weeks ago and am trying to recoup as much as I can, who wouldn't? Like you guys I can find any bass if I look hard enough for cheaper as we all can. If you don't want to pay £600 for it then don't, if you can get it cheaper elsewhere then good for you go ahead and do it. I am up for bids, but what is the point of stitching a fellow chat member up by making personal comments about finding it cheaper elsewhere, I think we are all adult enough to shop around as is everyones right. I hope if you guys sell anything on here someone doesn't do the same to you. I am not a shop, just a bass player trying to sell an instrument for a price that is less than I paid for it. I shall take this post down now as it's well and truly stitched up! I hope the mods will look into this kind of helpful advice for sellers![/quote] Hey I hate the way retailers have such different prices, I know your frustration. I got quoted a lot more for my Lakland ive ordered everywhere else I went, luckily I got a really good price. Good luck with the sale. Gareth

    Feeler - Line 6 DL4 + Official Power Supply Not 100% sure I want to sell as yet, just a feeler. Fully boxed, instructions, barely used as I use it for guitar mainly. Not one mark on it...at all. Offers? Suggestions of value? Actually is as new, as is Line 6 the power supply. Thanks Note: May withdraw!

    To cut a long story short, a non-basschatter said he definitely wanted it, and I emailed him about 25 pictures, provided full information, to which he planned to meet. Then, he just said 'ive found another nearby'. Typical. This bass is back up for sale and is a damn good bass! £365 as Ive just had a setup done for the potential seller that let me down.....cost me £12!

    They charged me £0 a few months back....£13...what are they playing at?!!! Anywhere £40-£45 is good...

    Good luck with sorting this out. Every basschat member ive dealth with has been 100% genuine and decent. But, obviously someone has shamed our good name!

    [quote name='Clarky' post='619744' date='Oct 7 2009, 04:53 PM']I bought a Fender Jazz on-line from Sounds Live a couple of months ago. Although it was in completely as-new condition the neck pocket had a very big gap between body and neck (over 1mm) which I found unacceptable. They took it back and paid postage costs and offered a replacement (which I turned down due to similar neck pocket issue, revealed on photos they sent to me). They then refunded in full. Apparently this is their standard returns policy and I sort of assume (or at least hope) that this applies to many other reputable on-line retailers. If you email your retailer photos I do not see how they can refuse to replace/refund as they have entered into a contract with you to supply a new instrument (which yours palpably is not). The emails can then be used as documentary evidence should a dispute arise (otherwise they could claim disingenuously that you caused the damage/gunk). Good luck[/quote] I remember you telling me about these two basses. Im steering clear of getting those! 2 bad neck pockets is just silly; but im glad they were so good with the refund. Soundslive seem like nice guys.

    Even though im only 28, (only he says!) I really like the classics: Sunburst Olympic White, (and the really aged white) Natural (more so when I was younger) Black I have yet to own surf green/sonic light blue....but I really like these colours. Tort Plates....now we are talking. I do not like: Red Gothic all black basses Ridiculous over the top colour schemes Im glad we all like different colours. It would be drab if we all liked the same.

    Interesting basses, heard nothing but good things. I must be riff raff! The whole style just doesnt do it for me. Quite cool none the less. £3.2K is far too much for a starting point.

    Potentially sold, depending on the usual. If not, will be back up EDIT - BACK UP FOR SALE!

    Stunning...

    I dont know much about the old Orange amps...but no doubt its worth a fair bit. Much more boutique and collectable. Marhsall is just everyday and 'meh'.

    Late night bump....had a LOT of interest....

    I think I have to agree now. I play in very hot clubs normally, so I think a mega thin neck might be problematic. Ive seen a Geddy for £679, and an American Standard for £799.....might not be able to get it dead on £799, but for the fact you get a proper case, and all the other great upgrades kinda stops the GAS for 70s pickup spacing and block inlays...(wish they were real inlays!) Cheers for the advice. American Series P or J it is.
  22. Musicman20
    Im selling my MIJ Precision and going for another USA P or Jazz...im leaning towards the Jazz. But....what advantages would a Geddy Lee have over the American Series? They are quite close in price now. Ive seen the new Jazzes for £799-£830 for a straight colour, and the Geddy for about £700 ish. Anyone want to comment? I heard a Geddy Lee the other day....through a standard cab/amp....wow....the tone cuts RIGHT through. I just wanted to know what the build quality is like.

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='616165' date='Oct 4 2009, 01:23 AM']Great! How long till the JO5 arrives..?[/quote] Probably looking at a fair wait....just builds the excitement The shipment to the UK is in 3-4 weeks, then shipping, then checking it over, getting it to BM, then me picking it up. Probably heading into December...but then its like an early Xmas present I'll get some pics up when it arrives. I received my Aguilar Tone Hammer on Friday....brilliant bit of kit. I figured thats best for me instead of an onboard, plus I really like using DI's at gigs were the bass cabs are hopeless.
  25. Musicman20
    If this is anything like the Bergantino HS410, then it will be stunning. I can also vouch for the DB212s! Quite a rare cabinet in the UK as most go for the DB112 x 2 setup, but after I thought about it, the DB212 is lighter, has casters, and I could add another cab to make it VERY loud. Good luck
