    I used to think that UPS were golden. I've recently sent a parcel (signed for) to someone and it did not turn up. UPS were able to produce Proof of Delivery, but she insisted it was not her signature and had been in all day. I suspected that she was lying initially, but reasoning it through decided that I really had no reason to do so. 

    When I kicked off at UPS the parcel magically arrived with her, so the POD was clearly faked . 

    Yep, agree, definitely avoid if possible. I've had 3 occassions where I have stayed in to receive parcels delivered by UPS for them not to turn up, resulting in me having to go to the depot to pick up personally. On all occassions theyve claimed they rang the bell but I wasn't in. Couldn't be bothered trying to deliver in other words...

  2. Hi CeeBass, 

    Ok, I'm being a bit cheeky here, but have you thought about an Electric EUB for giogs? It's no coinincidence that I currently Have one for salem, lots of extras with it too (hardcase, padded plush gig bag, stand, bow, and pot of rosin)! The pre amp is really hot, and has a seperatwe sub bass volume, so reallty handy for eliminating or adding rumble. Compact and portable (compared to a conventional DB), made from solid maple.

    Link is here anyway:

    Sorry, I know I'm being very cheeky.

  3. Hi Rebo, 

    PM sent!

    Basically, the website says: 

    "At the twist of a knob the complex crossover takes you from old school bass cab smoothness to uncompromising studio monitor accuracy".

    I can confirm that this is exactly what it does, so if the knob is completely off, it should behave in a similar way to the Super Twin.. 

     You cn adjust it to taste and specific needs, and generally I've always had it somewhere between the two. It's got an impressive frequency range which starts lower than the super twin at 30hz (super twin is 37hz), and goes up way higher than the Super twin at 20 Khz (super twin is 4khz).

    All depends what you put into it though, but it's got plenty of scope to handle whatever you throw at it with impressive accuracy, so should suit lots of fx and different tones very well, although haven't tried it specifically with a Helix.

     

  4. *** Now sold *** For sale -  my Stagg electric upright bassPLUS Hard Case, Plush gig bag, adjustable stand, and double bass bow – * Price Drop *The whole lot for £400

    Stagg EUB

    I’m selling my Stagg EUB which I bought from new. It’s in great condition, (with only one or two faint marks which are hard to notice), and has only had light home/studio use. The finish is in a striking red, which allows the pattern of the grain to come through. These are really solidly built instruments, and made from solid maple.

    The bass features a (hot) pre amp with:

    • -          Volume control
    • -          Sub bass control,
    • -          External input (for Mp3 player, drum machine, whatever you want really),
    • -          Head phone socket for near silent practice/recording without annoying anyone,
    • -          Handy light which reminds you that there’s a lead plugged in, as well as alerting you if the battery is running low.

    The bass comes with detachable hand and hip rests, as well as a retractable and adjustable end pin to get the bass to your preferred height.

    The action is fully adjustable with height adjustment screws at the bridge and conventional truss rod adjustment at the headstock.

    Hopefully the photos do justice to the lovely red finish this bass has.

    Hard case

    Sale includes a plush lined hard case which features a handy compartment large enough to store the detachable rests, tuner, lead, etc. As well as this, there is also storage for a double bass bow.

    Gig bag

    The gig bag isn’t a run of the mill flimsy affair; Instead this is nicely padded with a plush interior and two soft pouches for storage of the rests and other things, whilst the exterior has a pocket for a double bass bow, handles with chunky rubber grips, a shoulder strap and additional handle. It also has an embroidered Stagg logo, chunky rubber zip handles, and reflective piping.

    Stagg EUB stand

    The Stagg stand is specifically made for the EUB, is very solid and sturdy, fully adjustable, has a hook on the back to hold a bow, and folds up for compact storage. The bass can also be played whilst in the stand.

    Double bass Bow

    Double bass bow bought from new specifically for the EUB. Hasn’t  had very much use and can sound really impressive! I’ve got some Rosin for it somewhere which I’ll also throw in.

    Sale is because I've got my eye on something expensive and need to generate some funds. I’m based in Shtrewsbury by the way. Collection is definitely preferred due to the combined size and weight of the items listed. Any questions, please let me know.

    Please look out for other for sale posts as I'm also selling a Genz Benz Streamliner 900, Squier VM ’77 Jazz Bass, Barefaced gen 3 Big Baby 2, and a Phil Jones Bass double four.

    Thanks for viewing!
