I emailed these guys the other day asking where I could get a UV tube for my Trace (now found!). Didn't hear a jot back from them.

[b][/b]Due to a re - evaluation of my setup, a number of items have come up for sale - all available for collection from Milton Keynes: [b]Eden Nemesis NC210[/b] - specs here - [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/22820"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/fl...roduct_id/22820[/url] 250 Watt 2 x 10 combo - nice and punchy with built in compression, 'enhance' control, 3 band eq plus additional parametric control. A few light scuffs from gigging but otherwide good condition - £300 [b]Marshall IBS[/b] (irritable bowel syndrome?!) [b]400 Bass head[/b] 2 x 200W Bi ampable mosfet head in a rather sw***y ornate wooden sleeve (needs some TLC). I've used this once at a rehearsal and it worked fine - pretty loud for 200W. I've never used the bi amp facilities, and it could probably do with a service. Rack handles are broken - includes the all essential manual! I bought this for £150 recently, but then picked up a Trace head which has made it redundant - looking to recoup my outlay. [b]SOLD[/b][b]Roland Bass Cube 100[/b] In good condition apart from a few scuffs on the handle. You know what these things do! £150[b]SOLD[/b] If people definately want to buy, I can bring these to the bass bash next sunday. Here's the pics - -
[quote name='mr pablo' post='162618' date='Mar 24 2008, 01:23 PM']I used to be the same until I was reading and article somewhere about building up fret hand stamina or something like that and it basicaly said to string up a spare bass with heavier strings so if you practiced using the spare and went back to your main bass you would be able to play it easier. I tried it and after a wee while I decided that the heavier strings felt better and went with that ever since[/quote] Think I'm gonna try that. It's usually roto swing bass 105's for me, fingerstyle rock and funk. Do most of you slappers prefer lighter strings?
-
Can we make this thread more usefull by saying what type of music we use the strings for - ie - are light strings better for slap etc??

Hi Y'all Recently picked up a GP11 AH250...........which is pretty godlike soundwise.... But the UV tube is a bit flickery. Anyone know where I can get a replacement?

I can feel a request for a loan coming on (from her who must be obeyed!!) -
[quote name='queenofthedepths' post='158272' date='Mar 16 2008, 12:47 AM']I accept your first point, but I still think the bass (and the paintbrushes and for that matter Martin Luther King's toothbrush) has historical importance - the point is that in our imaginations, it provides a connection to Jaco and the music he played on that bass... with that in mind, another example: a piece of the true cross is just a lump of wood (not even a bass!) and Jesus would have been nailed up just as efficiently on any other cross - it wasn't even specially made for Jesus or selected by him; but a mundane object associated with someone special is invested with historical interest, which is why Jaco's bass is an artifact which can fuel our imaginations if we want it to[/quote] +1 on that. A piece of the true cross - wow - here we are likening the basis of a way of life to ....errr... the basses of a way of life..... I really shouldn't post in the early hours when I've had too much to drink hee hee... hic!

Just thought I'd pop on to say....I've got a similar Crafter - and it's a complete gas to play, lovely bass - when I get her out I can noodle for hours. Sounds spookily like a double bass as well! -
ALL SOLD Hughes & Kettner 410H, Marshall 1150
King Tut replied to Beedster's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Blimey - are Trace Elliot heads like busses? Been looking for one for a while then 2 come along in 3 days both locally. Had to stand Beedster up on his as I've just picked up a series 5 - 11 band AH250 and a 1510 cab all for a stupidly silly price. Sorry mate - have a free bumparoo! -

Fender Precision Problems- Can't hear it!!
King Tut replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Bass Guitars
I think the moral of this thread should be to warn younger players of what's in store if they don't use earplugs. I'm a train driver, and currently have to have hearing tests every five years. If my hearing goes, my job is down the pan. I gig once to three times a week - and I ALWAYS wear an earplug in the ear closest to the drummer. Not only does this protect me, it helps me hear my singing voice also. Took about 5 or 6 gigs to get used to but I won't do without it now. SO LISTEN UP YOU YOUNG UPSTARTS............. Look after your ears before it's too late....pardon? What did you say? Col -
I'll have the other pup - PM'd

I use Thomann 'The Box' 12 inch 300W ones. Ok for medium size venues - lotsa gear for the money - heavy though! I bought one for pubs and liked it so much I bought another - cheap as chips!
-
These are great basses - I had one, sold it then missed it so bought another! Free bump

[quote name='tempo' post='148778' date='Feb 29 2008, 08:28 AM']and here's a pic to prove it. [/quote] That's the bit of kit I've been waiting for - I want one!!

Maplins sell one for about a fiver - no LED though

Yup - I've got a VM 70's jazz. Stuck an East retro and a Gotoh bridge on and it's as good as anything else I've got. Decent action, great looker, even tone across the board, minimal dead spots. Only gripe is it's a little heavy being maple.
