  1. [size=5]SOLD[/size] [s]3 sets[/s] [s]2 sets[/s] 1 set of D'Addario Nickel XL 165 (45/65/85/105). I bought these from an international vendor then realised I bought the wrong gauge. It's more worthwhile for me to sell these at a loss here than to pay for return shipping. You live and learn! £12 per set. If anyone has any 40-100 gauge nickel 4-string sets to trade please PM me. Thanks, Dylan
  2. [color="#ff0000"]All sold! Thanks everyone.[/color] Hi all, Doing a small clearout to raise funds for other things. MXR M87 Bass Compressor I bought this about 6 weeks ago, have used it in a few rehearsals and at home, and decided I'm not really looking for compression at this point. As new condition, in box with papers, etc. £120 shipped to UK. I refer you to Ovnilab's very complimentary review of the M87: [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/mxrbass.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.c...s/mxrbass.shtml[/url] This guy knows compression! I just think I was getting into it for all the wrong reasons.

Typical. Some scuffs & dings but works fine, I don't have the original box but I'll ship it in a box from another Boss pedal. £40 shipped to UK. [attachment=137009:IMG_0844.JPG] [attachment=137010:IMG_0845.JPG] [attachment=137011:IMG_0846.JPG] [attachment=137012:IMG_0850.JPG] PM with questions, I'm based on Kingston upon Thames if you want to collect. Thanks, Dylan
  3. Andy have a bump on me! I bought the Compact, and can confirm he's a very nice man to do a deal with. Good luck with the little one!
  4. I bought Andy's (other) Barefaced Compact yesterday evening. Thoroughly decent chap, friendly, accommodating, and punctual into the bargain! And the cab is just as he described. Buy from this man in confidence!
  5. [quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1348870590' post='1819474'] I have just seen Muse again , and I know that if I move insignificantly from the mic or turn away , my vocal falls out of the mix , I know my technique is not fantastic, but I cannot believe that the performance coming through my TV speakers is that which is being performed "live" in a number of cases . [/quote] Just to address this point... Much depends on what type/brand of microphone is being used, and how it's treated at the board. I'm not sure what you use regularly but I'm willing to bet Later... Live has some pretty tasty gear!!! Muse's history with being uncooperative during mimed TV performances is well documented:[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGWcXh-tKYo&feature=fvst"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGWcXh-tKYo&feature=fvst[/url]
  6. [quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1349188881' post='1823006'] I'd like to see instruments reviewed in a band situatuion for a change. Most of the sounds/tones that sound good solo don't seem to be much cop in a band mix. [/quote] Indeed! I don't think I've ever seen anyone do this. I guess it's harder to rope in other musicians out of the goodness of their own hearts. However, on a larger scale, instrument/gear manufacturers need to start wising up to the fact that YouTube is the best place there is to research potential gear purchases. The amount of times I've gone to YouTube to get a sense of how a pedal sounds, only to find nothing... it's frustrating! EHX are quite good at this though. And EBS. Of course sounds of YouTube aren't 100% realistic, but it's a damn sight better than just reading about it.
  7. [quote name='daflewis' post='1361485' date='Sep 4 2011, 02:35 AM']+1 By the way, not sure if it's been mentioned before, but i was in Denmark Street last week and i noticed that the Bass Cellar has closed.... just surprised it took so long to be honest! [/quote] The lesson here is, if you tell your customers to f**k off... they f**k off! The last time I was in there was for a compressor pedal, they told me the effect I was after wasn't possible with any pedal, ever. I just went to another shop and bought exactly what I was after.
  8. Just wanted to add a +1 for Guitar Guitar, they represent EXACTLY what online instrument retail should be. I just received a bass from them, it was the least hassle I've ever experienced. They let you specify your delivery day (inc. Saturdays) and on that day their courier sends you a text with an hour window when they will be arriving - saving you staying in the house all day. Friendly people too, from what little contact I had to have with them. HIGHLY recommended. I only wish they had a larger range of gigbags/cases, as GAK are currently giving me the mother of all runarounds.
  9. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  10. Better pictures of the Yamaha added. I've also noticed some dings on it, so I've added pics of them and dropped the price to £420.
  11. [color="#FF0000"]ALL SOLD.[/color] I am having shameful GAS attacks. I have little money to speak of, so these two are on the block. [size=3]YAMAHA BB2005: £420 [color="#FF0000"]SOLD[/color][/size] I've had this on the block before. I know it sounds salesy, but I took it off when I realised it wasn't financially worth £800-£1000. It plays like it is. It was my first 5 string and has survived years of buying and selling because frankly it's brilliant. This is more modest version of Yamaha's BBNE2 Nathan East signature. Thru-neck, 2 Jazz style pickups into an active preamp. Controls are volume, PU pan, bass, treble, mid frequency select & mid cut toggle switch (like a slap contour). Very tight B-string and remarkably even sound across all strings. I bought this used in 2006 (from someone on here I think?). It's in great condition, considering it was my No.1 bass for years. There are a couple of dings on the underside of the bass, a light scuff on the headstock. The strings are fairly old, but I will throw some brand new Sadowsky Nickel rounds (40-125) in the case if you if you want. It will come with a fairly-knackered-but-still-very-sturdy SKB semi-hard case. Nick Fyffe used one of these during his time in Jamiroquai, it's all over the Montreaux DVD: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhAgBgkT8-M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhAgBgkT8-M[/url] Here's me playing it on some recordings of a previous iteration of my current band. I prefer the sound on 'Recipe' and think it reflects the sound of the blended pickups better... For 'Messin' Around' I may have favored the bridge a tad. [url="http://soundcloud.com/dylan-behagg/02-recipe"]Recipe[/url] [url="http://soundcloud.com/dylan-behagg/01-messin-around"]Messin' Around[/url] Here's a couple of pics of some dings on the underside: [size=3][color="#FF0000"]SOLD[/color] 2008 FENDER AMERICAN PRECISION STANDARD V: £850 [color="#FF0000"]SOLD[/color][/size] I ordered this almost as soon as they were available and wasn't disappointed. Fender did a great job with these. I had Martin at the Bass Gallery put a DiMarzio jazz pickup in the bridge (extremely cleanly installed, as you would expect), which gives the whole thing a nice P/J tone and smooths out the beefy P pickup. The controls are V/V/T, and Martin tidily routed a jack input on the side. The body is alder. The B string on this is great. Apart from the extra pickup, the controls and the jack, everything is stock ([url="http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0190560700"]specs here[/url]). This will come in the original hard-shell case. I have it strung with some pretty worn in La Bella flats, which sound thumpy. Hawk-eyed viewers will note that the B string has a different colour wrap. This is because I started with a set that I found too heavy, which had blue wraps. I ordered a lighter set (red wraps), but the B string was dead, so I put the old one back on. It's the same thing, because all the La Bella flatwound 5 string sets have the same gauge B. If you've not seen Ed Friedland's video review of these basses, check it out here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THITANX322E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THITANX322E[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVhLZ65yGPQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVhLZ65yGPQ[/url] Busking on a cold winters eve in London. Me, the vocal, the guitar and the stompbox are all going through the same (keyboard) amp. As you will see, annoyingly people only seem to start filming us when our guitarist breaks a string... the tune kicks in a couple of mins in. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP4KX28zapE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP4KX28zapE[/url] Filmed on an iPhone... still sounds surprisingly good. B string action at about 2.17. I think I would have strung this with rounds at this point. I've had this from new and it's been gigged (as you can see). There are a fair few dings/scratches which I will attempt to document in photographs. I started in the photos below, but my camera battery ran out before I could get them all. I will try and get some more pictures up tomorrow. The one in the photo below is the biggest one, on the bottom edge near the jack input. There are a few more scratches along the bottom, and a few dings elsewhere. Please feel free to ask any questions about these basses, either on here or by phone (07840504461), or email at [email protected]. You can run trades past me, but the only ones I'm likely to consider are if you have one of the NEW model Fender American Precision Deluxe 4-strings. I am based in Kingston-upon-Thames. I have no car and would prefer a local/pickup sale, however I am very happy to ship at the buyers cost if necessary (inc internationally). Paypal is fine.
  12. I just bought an old Columbus bass off Pete. Hassle free, accommodating, a smooth transaction. Not to mention a stand-up bloke. Cheers! Dylan
  13. [quote name='skej21' post='1222604' date='May 6 2011, 09:09 PM']+ 1 This is why I went with Endsleigh... my gear is covered even if it gets stolen from the back of an open, unattended vehicle! All for £45 a year! Can't go wrong [/quote] Check your T&C, I'm getting quotes for Endsleigh and to insure my instruments in an unattended vehicle it has to be locked with the equipment out of sight, but more importantly I have to buy the UK + 90 days EU cover (as opposed to UK only) even if said vehicle is in the UK. This works out a LOT more expensive (think £25 UK, £105 UK+EU). Still worth it IMO.
  14. [size=5]These are now sold, thanks for looking![/size] I have for sale 2 5-string sets of BRAND NEW, UNOPENED Sadowsky Stainless Steel strings (45-65-85-105-130T). I bought them a while ago but now I'm craving the Nickels. For those who don't know them, these strings are really really good. Even volume/tone between ALL strings, great B string, they last for ages too. I had a set on for 6 months before I realised I'd forgotten to change them - I'm not saying they sounded like day one, but they were good enough that I didn't notice! Maybe that says more about me than the strings... Anyway, if you do a search on TalkBass you'll see that Roger personally stands by his strings and takes great care in putting quality out on the street. As far as I know these strings aren't available to order from the UK. If you were to buy a single set from the Sadowsky store it would cost close to £40 inc shipping, and that's before you add on any VAT or import taxes. I'll sell these for £25 each or £45 for both (inc. shipping). Paypal is fine. Alternatively if anyone has any 5-string Nickel sets I'll entertain trade offers, I'm preferably looking for the equivalent Sadowsky set with the 40-125 gauges but message me with any other offers.
