  1. [quote name='Meenie' post='955079' date='Sep 13 2010, 05:32 PM']there is a section on the MB site in the faq's section about using or rather not using the heads in other countries. Surely if they are that state of the art some kind of power selection switch could be fitted round the back so you could use it in multiple countries no? or am i just bieng a naive moron?[/quote] Well it'd be lovely to have that option on any electrical equipment we use - but of course it would put up the cost. I can't speak for my my son's mates common sense (or lack of it) but I draw my own conclusions - an expensive mistake!
  2. I get on well with the Digitech Bass Synth Wah. I use setting 2 (sub envelope follower I think). Alien on here(effects moderator) likes the sound of it! Col
  3. I thought the anodised scratchplates were associate with late mid to late 50's p's?
  4. I've got exactly the same amp as this - although not sleeved - and it's a beast. I assume it's the one with the heatsink at the back rather than the fan? Classic Trace tone and bags of volume for not very much dosh. Easily compares in terms of volume to the latest breed of class D amps and built like tanks. Free bump!
  5. [quote name='Meenie' post='953831' date='Sep 12 2010, 06:45 PM']well thats me well and trully put off! I've been umming and aaring whether to invest in a Markbass or Eden stack...looks like the Yellow has won![/quote] My son's mate bought a MB head from the states, ran it at UK voltage and fried it! Needless to say my lad is looking at it. he says it's really well made - state of the art and bloody difficult to fix!!
  6. I got a Nemesis 2 x 10 combo that sounds fab but has gone on the blink. My son is an electronics engineer - he took it to bits and remarked that it's cheaply made - which is good cos it means he can fix it - fingers crossed! The cabs are brilliant bang for the buck though!
  7. Hi there, I've had a cube 100 and while they are great amps, I did find it a little underpowered in a band situation, unless you use a monitor that will handle bass well. Regards Col
  8. [quote name='gafbass02' post='953591' date='Sep 12 2010, 03:08 PM']I was devastated to sell that, sadly I'm in no position to buy it back. But it looks nice, I never even opened the box![/quote] Yeah it's got some nice grain going on - pics don't really do it justice! The neck's nice as well. It's as good as any genuine Fenders out there - it's a shame peeps are put off cos it's a bitsa - but that's the way of the world. Ironically I's probably do better splitting it - don't want to do that though!
  9. Not much interest - doh maybe I'll have to keep her!!
  10. [quote name='gafbass02' post='953364' date='Sep 12 2010, 10:00 AM']Is that my Christmas body?[/quote] It is indeed Gaf!
  11. OK - bit of an odd one here, don't think I'll get what I paid for the bits so if I can't get a reasonable price then she'll have to remain a keeper. The body: Bought from here - MIJ ash body from here - like this one . . . [url="http://kenji-cij.blogspot.com/2009/04/jb-62-wal-jazz-bass.html"]http://kenji-cij.blogspot.com/2009/04/jb-6...-jazz-bass.html[/url] The Neck: Bought from here - Allparts (Licensed by Fender) rosewood block and bound with Fender branded tuners. Bone nut. Fender Decal, but the 'offset contour body' piece of the decal is in slightly the wrong place. Some nice grain going on on this. Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups. Badass II Bridge CTS pots. Warwick straplocks There are one or two tiny marks on the back of the bass- too difficult to photograph. What look like scratches on the body are reflections. Here's the pictures: This is a great player with a very 'up front' aggressive sound - also a fantastic looker. I won't be sad if she doesn't sell - I'll probably get the decal redone and sell one of the other basses in my arsenal! [b]OK - had a rethink on this and I'm gonna split her. Lots of interest in the individual bits - so - Neck - Sold - body - £200 plus post, Pickups £55 posted, Bridge - sold ![/b]
  12. "Wasn't as loud as I expected" . . . . . . I reckon maybe you're not setting the input gain high enough - I whack the open e really hard - maybe thumb it, then set the gain so it's just hitting the red a bit. Then I eq it, then re do the gain - usually bringing it down a bit. If it's really 'not that loud' then there's probably something wrong with it - mine is phenomenally loud - and Trace in general has a reputation of being louder then the specified output would suggest.
  13. I've got an AH250 and have my gain set pretty high with a passive bass - it's not a problem - enjoy the head - they're awesome!
  14. I need a set of EQ white tops for my Mark V GP11 - how much? BTW you should really post prices to comply with forum rules. Maybe you got to many bits to make that practical though!
  15. [quote name='Lozz196' post='949336' date='Sep 8 2010, 12:23 PM']Yep, go pre-eq with the DI, and trust the soundman. I played a gig on Sun, where the provided backline was an Aguilar set-up, and I really didn`t like the on-stage sound, however, all the bands that day had awesome bass sounds out front, so didn`t really concern me too much, as I knew the soundman was delivering. Given the choice between either me being happy, or the punters, well the punters win, though in an ideal world, it would be both.[/quote] Were you playing at the BOB gig at The pitz?
