[quote]Basically though it's just a CIJ P-bass with about £100 of after-market parts and some scribble on the headstock.[/quote]

Guess thats about right, Fender seem to have gone mad with their priceing see other thread about the £grand£ roadworn series.

But I guess if your a Steve Harris fan/tribute its cool, but expensive!

Been think of giving these flats a try for a while how do you think they would sound in a rock cover band situation?
Thanks Eddy

Comes with flats as standard but only a gig bag ..... no hard case for a grand!!! shocking

Hi saw one of these today in the flesh/wood today, claimed to be on of the first in this country, glittery blue and silver plate and no West Ham sticker ... nice

If you like that sort of thing!

£1099 of your hard earned, made in Japan, which is strange I thought!

Some good points.
For example there is a post on there now with 6 bumps in the last 24 hrs mentioning no names,,,,, to join in the bumpmania to keep it on the front page would just add to the clutter, as mr cooke suggests a week would be good although 3 days would be more realistic.
Theres even 1 ad which consists 27 posts in 6 days 21 of which are bumps of which 5 are threats to put it on ebay! by the way its still for sale by the looks of it lol

Hi guys does anyone get frustrated when posting a ad on the forum to see it disappear within a few hours by posts being bumped or bumparood or bumparama or a midday bump or a bump for a nice guy or a great avatar etc ive seen items bumped several times a day!
Would a @ least 24 hr bumping rule be a good idea to give all posts/ads a fair crack?
Sorry if this has been mentioned before I did type “bump” it into search but got 3 pages just from the last day……… you get what I mean.
Perhaps a leaf from another site may be a forward step and make it fairer to posters.

“TB rules in the Classified Section specify that you may bump your ads, but only under these conditions :

- No more than one bump per 24 hour period
- All previous bumps MUST be deleted

The reason for these rules are
a) Sellers have abused 'bumps' in the past
Reducing 'clutter' in for sale threads

A bump is not just a post that says “bump” or “Monday morning bump” or “bumpaboo”, but ANY POST that does not feed the thread with relevant information. Examples include, but are not limited to:

- “C’mon guys, this is a wonderful bass!”
- “Get it quick or I’ll put it on eBay”
- “No-one, really ?”
- “PM replied”

Adding of pictures is a valid reason to bump your forsale thread, as long as it falls within the above rules - no more than once per 24 hours and delete prior bumps beforehand.”

Just a thought Eddy

Hi thanks for the replies guy, phoned panic and they reckon £25 ish better result than korg, see what you are saying toastie hope you are wrong but you probably wont be im never that lucky

Hi folks just quick heads up my dtr-1000 went faulty ,so I got in touch with them to get it repaired and they informed me they now charge £69 inc + postage just to look at it, mmmmmm just a bit of useful information should you be considering 2nd hand korg products!
Anyone know anybody to get it repaired? the unit recieved a speaker out signal into its input (i know dont ask) it now turns on but dont function!
Thanks Eddy

Thanks owen, yep its all true!

Hi guys just thought I would see if this is of any use to anyone, 5k of meaty power just back from service and check cost me just under 2 grand, up for £800
Thanks Eddy

Brought a compressor from Jake 1st class seller!

pm comp

Cant really see why there should be a problem, he says that cash on collection is fine so if you dont like it dont part with yer cash! I reckon anyone parting with a couple of grand on the bay to buy a guitar without checking it out is asking for trouble!
Ed

Tutto il discorso in italiano confonde, esso abbastanza duro in inglese!

I had one of these till I caught green fever, great underated unit!

Waldo says
"My only gripe is that I find the compressor quite useless "

Yet Merton says
"it's an indispensible tool"

So I guess it has to be subjective! does anybody have any links to any articles of how to use compression to maximum effect and what I can expect it to achive?
Thanks Eddy

[quote name='Waldo' post='320181' date='Nov 2 2008, 02:55 PM']I have one of the new trace combos and it's fantastic. Very clear with a lot of punch but also has a nice warmth about it. You can do pretty much anything you like with the EQ. My only gripe is that I find the compressor quite useless but I've never been one for compressors anyway.[/quote]

Is compresor a love/hate thing? as I read so many conflicting reports ive only known the trace one so have nothing to compare it with! I would like to hear some sound clips of different setting from a highly rated compressor if anyone knows of any?
Eddy

I reckon you need to make it clear if you want.........

Power amp
Head unit
Combo

To assist helpers

If its a combo then something like this..............

Great value for money normally fetch £120-£150 and would suffice your needs.

[attachment=15936:guitar_strap.jpg]The brand on it is Leathercraft, not the greatest phot but you get the idea!

Its just sitting around as its just a few inches to short for me so I thought id see if it was of any use to anybody.
The strap is 3 inches wide padded fully ajustable and extends to 56 inches and suede on the inside, although I put my strap locks on it but it has only been used for around a hour before I changed back to my older longer one!
This cost me just over £20 but has no wear just slight marks where the strap locks were.
Im after £14 inc postage
Any questions please ask!
Thanks Eddy

"The guitar was purchased new by my brother, I bought it from him at about five years old"

5 years old is young to be buying guitars like that int it?

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='291247' date='Sep 24 2008, 07:57 PM']BB, try Paul Dunn. He's fully conversant in all the rock school stuff and has recently taken over from me at Ashfield School (now I'm exclusively teaching in North East Lincs) as the resident guitar/bass teacher. He also only lives around the corner from you in Top Valley. 07802 860542. In fact you probably know him as Paul from the Beer Monsters/The PHD.

Is he still doing them ive emailed him from his website and no replies?

Heres me latest rig, Bit of a Trace new and old fan, I guess you can tell, just after a boxer 15 to complete the family!

Well Matts pictures inspired me to get all the kids together in one room and dig the camera out, here the results! guess you know what they are

It dont seem to distort my 5 piece plays in a small room at stupid volume and the auto levels handle it well!
