  2. Hi there, Just wondered if you'd be up for selling or trading the scratch plate on this bass? I've got a tort one (more brown than this) and I'm after a red one! Cheers, Ben
  3. I'm after the red scratch plate - noboy wants to sell me one! Is it a 13 hole, and will you trade for the darker tort? Cheers

  9. Hi there, I've just been fidling around with my gear as I have a few spare hours (of which I should be revising in). I plugged in as per usual and started playing. After messing around with the tone controls for a few seconds I realised that there was a huge boost of sound when I was touching the bass pot. When I let goof the pot there's a huge decrease in bass output, and therefore it's bloody hard to actually set the bass up accurately as the levels dip in and out as you change them! It also makes a difference if I'm touching the strings (+pot) too - even louder! I opened her up and had a look around inside and there's no obvious loss of connection - here's a few pics of inside: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37914818@N02/3575300651/"]Bass[/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37914818@N02/3576107966/"]Troublesome pot[/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37914818@N02/3576107778/"]Other pots[/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37914818@N02/3576108138/"]Earthing thing[/url] From what I can see there is no wiring problem - but why is there this huge difference in sound when I'm touching the pots? Any advice/information would be great! Thanks for your time! Ben
  10. I love the fact that the neck is even slightly bent at the base! Sweet looking bit of wood - but not practical enough for my liking. I'd have it on the wall though! Ben

  13. Wow that's expensive! I'm going to email him and tell him how much this one sold for and see if I can get the price a load more reasonable! Glad you're liking the sound.... Thanks for the first dibs offer! Ben

  17. Is the bridge pick up active or passive? or does it not matter! Ben
  18. [quote name='ben_eat_pie' post='486157' date='May 12 2009, 05:21 PM']This looks gorgeous! Would love it if I had the money - I'll see if I can get some extra work! Bump for a lush looking amp![/quote] Bugger..... I actually got some extra work too - enough to cover the cost of buying this amp! I'm gutted.... can I have 1sts on it if you ever want to sell it sir? Ben
  19. here's a link to the speakers: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48692"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48692[/url]
  20. I don't believe many people have! It was a friend of the guy who I bought the cab off who had a small production line in custom cabs. E.L.K - no idea what it stands for unfortunately. I've taken the badge off simply to save hassle at gigs! "Who's that cab made by then?" I agree, It's a long old way to travel! Ben If you like the speakers a lot then you could but them on their own - then they could be posted. I've already listed them as I bought another set to put in the cab temporarily while I built a BFM cab.
  21. WOW i've only just seen this - what the hell is going on! I gave feedback on nobody! Despite this I did buy some straplocks a long time ago - from here!
  22. That's taysteee! I'd eat it if I had the cash! I'm going to have to check the finances before I say I'm in! I've got a whole jazz bass with a warped neck waiting to be fitted!
