    I just fancy a change, as I'm using my Carvin 5er as a main bass now, so for trade only here's my black passive Music Man Sub. It's been gigged and was restrung BEAD, but now I've put it back to EADG. A couple of minor dinks, purely cosmetic, and the one on the headstock is from having to restring in a cramped area (another has since joined this for the same reason). Controls are volume, tone, half the H to the full H. Comes with the original plate. Most basses of roughly equal value considered. I'm in the Chilterns (which is a posh way of trying to avoid saying Luton). cheers

    sweet as!

    At the end of a song, while in rock star mode, I thrust the bass aloft and put it straight through the ceiling above the stage.

    [quote name='slaphappygarry' post='120107' date='Jan 14 2008, 02:26 PM']ps - i have signed the inside of it. Will be cool to see where it does to on its travels....[/quote] if it makes it to a Bassbash, a few who didn't, maybe could.

    well you can tell by the lack of bumpage I'm not selling this coz I have to anymore - even though it doesn't fit in my car. It's still at The Bass Merchant, so if you are in that neck of the woods try it out under no obligation.

    I had a Traynor 1x15 combo, with a valve amp. Sweet tone, plenty of warm bottom end, but without sounding muffled. Only 60w though, so the volume wasn't quite there for most gigs. But this was always the yardstick by which all my later amps were judged, until... One of my amps at the mo, is a PJB M-500. It's a tone monster, that classic rock bass tone is all there. IMO it does the Ampeg thing better than Ampegs, and it's SS.

    Hi guys, I'd be interested in hearing what the physical condition of your cabs is like, now they have all been well-gigged. How have they coped with been thrown in the back of vans etc. Have they all stood the rigours of the road?

    [quote name='7string' post='118196' date='Jan 10 2008, 09:58 PM']It might seem a bit strange that someone who likes 7 strings also likes the 1 string as well[/quote] have you ever gigged the 1 string?

    [quote name='Toasted' post='115905' date='Jan 7 2008, 11:07 PM']I've got a pair of Mission 750 LE / SE in cherry that I'd be happy to let go for £70. I dont think you'd find a better speaker at the price and they'll cover your outlined needs. I replaced them with some Quad 12L2's [/quote] thanks, but the Samson's are doing the job.

    [quote name='BassBunny' post='117844' date='Jan 10 2008, 02:01 PM']Cheers McD. I thought you were volunteering to "go round with the boys" at first. Will try GBH.[/quote] [quote name='nottswarwick' post='118205' date='Jan 10 2008, 10:11 PM']To be honest, he is my "go to" guy for stuff, so hope ll is OK...[/quote] me too.

    [quote name='Bass_In_Yer_Face' post='117992' date='Jan 10 2008, 05:05 PM']I'd like to think that if they did have 'ringers' playing on their albums, it would have come to light by now like the whole Frankie / Blockheads deal.[/quote] thought it had? It's no secret now, that Roger didn't play drums on the first album.
  14. MacDaddy
    I'm just going by what's in his book. He says he didn't know whether they were gonna be the lines on the album, or if JT would copy them. Either way JT didn't write them.

    [quote name='paul h' post='117787' date='Jan 10 2008, 01:08 PM']I have only dealt with the Bass Merchant once...and I had pretty much the same experience. No chance of a reply via email, and a pain to get hold of by phone. Wasn't there someone called Jeff/Geoff who worked with Mike and who posted at this forum? I seem to remember getting a pm from him about my problem...but that might have been on the old bassworld site. paul.[/quote] GBH

    [quote name='Bass_In_Yer_Face' post='117623' date='Jan 10 2008, 08:43 AM']Martin Kemp rumour I can believe....not JT though.[/quote] Guy Pratt did the Powerstation bass lines. And don't forget hush money was paid because Roger Taylor didn't(couldn't?) play drums on the first album.

    bu993r! It's a good job I've just seen this now, and it's been sold
  18. MacDaddy
    well I eventually got the 65A's. Nice and loud, and cope with the low B's so no problem there. Any recommendations on settings for the mid presence control, especially when trying to figure out bass lines, would be muchly appreciated! cheers.
  19. MacDaddy
    give Mike a call at the Bass Merchant in Witham. Knows his onions about Tech Sound Systems he does, and he's a good bloke.

    [quote name='vmaxblues' post='114736' date='Jan 6 2008, 03:19 PM']This one.... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4307"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4307[/url] This is a beautiful bass, in immaculate condition, with a stunningly powerful sound, it is a luthier built boutique instrument that is a joy to behold. I bought it recently for £450 which is an absolute steal, but it is not for me, I am used to slimmer necks (Warwick Dolphins) so am looking for an interesting trade, what have you guys got. Cheers and happy new year to all[/quote] just about to pm.
  21. MacDaddy
    so here's the neck, I think it's a nice combination, usually the inverse but Jon reckons it will look cracking on the dark body.
  22. MacDaddy
    Been a bit quiet over the holiday period, but the current state of play is the neck has been glued up and pics will be sent once the clamps are off.

    [quote name='Beneath It All' post='112016' date='Jan 1 2008, 10:16 PM']From a counting point of view, 6/4 = 4/4+2/4 but they are NOT necessarily the same; 2/4+2/4 =4/4 but likewise, they're NOT necessarily the same in terms of strong/weak accents and/or rhythmic intent....Good luck with the reading. .[/quote] what I was gonna say.
