    25/9/17 - NOW £1100 28/9/17 - SALE £950 or; TRADE £1100 Up for Sale is my Yamaha Attitude LTD2 in Black. These don't come up very often, and given the price of the LTD3 model, they now represent pretty good VFM.. Bought new by me in 2009, no other owners. Up for sale as I've now got a LTD3 as well and keeping 2 of these is just silly! The Bass has all the usual refinements you'd expect - Hipshot D-Tuner, Dual outputs, Dimarzio pickups, scalloped upper frets on the D & G strings etc.. Only modification is the replacement of the nut, from the White one it came with, to a black tusq nut. And I think it looks much better! It has been used, done a few gigs but not many, I've used it more at home really. The bridge/saddles paint is worn from use, and there are marks on the pickup covers from the strings. That's how low the action is on this one, very close to the pickups and it sounds ANGRY. Plays beautifully. There is a small paint chip on the rear edge of the belly chamfer, shown in the pics, with a 5p for scale.. Comes with the blue-lined Yamaha Hardcase I got with it, which is marked, but only cosmetically affected. All catches and hinges working fine. Also has the paperwork, allen keys and keys for the case. I'm Based in the Bridgend Area of South Wales, but as always I'm willing to travel to do a deal with a fellow Basschatter. Not really looking for trades, but could possibly be open to a p/ex with cash my way. Try me, you never know! Trade / Part Trade options would include: - Barefaced two10 / Four10 Fender Precisions / PJ's w/P-shaped body / SQ JV P / with Precision width nuts (1.625" / 42mm) Any questions, please ask! Pics below, also there's a link to some photobucket pictures, taken before I replaced the nut and put the truss rod cover back on... Cheers! http://s53.photobuck...itude%20Ltd%202

    I think the best Bass endorsement I've seen for this unit is the fact that Billy Sheehan is now using one (the LT) for his live rig. Like or dislike his tone, he's a fiend for compressors / bass distortions / signal paths. If it's good enough for him to use live, then who am I to argue?

    Re: The Who One of the Planet Rock presenters quoted Pete Townshend yesterday as saying most of the songs were essentially them Jamming along to a Keith Moon drum solo.

    Very nice, great pictures too.

    [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1505380902' post='3371421'] The Foo's for me too. I like Dave Grohl. Always comes across really well. To be honest, so do the rest of the band. I'm just not a fan of the music, even though i'd really like to be!! [/quote] With you on this one Kert, aside of the first 2 albums, which I do like, it's been essentially rock music for folks who don't like rock music.

    [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1505382783' post='3371446'] Lifeson makes my teeth itch when he solos. In fact I'm not sure he does solo. I think he throws the guitar down the stairs and just records that. [/quote] Horses for courses, sure, but even this? [url="https://youtu.be/78D00dYOBrM"]https://youtu.be/78D00dYOBrM[/url]

    Pedal Board Blues

    LewisK1975 replied to blue's topic in Effects

    I use in-ears for live playing with no amp on stage. Last in my pedal board is a Sansamp ParaDriver and that goes direct to the Mixer. I then have my own mix for my IEM's from an aux send on the desk. Part of my pedal board is the EBS Billy Sheehan deluxe distortion. That pedal keeps your clean signal on at all times, but you can blend the amount of distortion that you need/want in and switch the distortion in/out as necessary. What I found was that with the distortion turned on, where I blended enough in as I was listening through my IEM's, that same amount wasn't enough to be heard properly through the FOH. So I set the amount of distortion blend based on what was coming out of FOH. Sounds a little wild in my IEM's on times, but at least I know the FOH sound is correct. Basically what i'm saying is echoing what's already been said above, you need to set your distortion levels based on what comes out of your live rig, what you hear through headphones in isolation isn't a good representation of the sound that comes out of your amp in a live setting. If you can't do it in the dead time after setup, before you actually start your first set, then book a rehearsal room on your own and crank it up, then spend some time on your pedal board settings.

    Not an ex-user but I did swap from Super compacts to the retro two10. I guess over the years I've got used to 'coloured' sounding cabs and the SC's were too transparent for me really. If needs be I can plug straight into my TC BH250 thru the two10 and to my ears, it sounds bloody marvellous.
  9. LewisK1975
    Cheers Ed, pleasure to meet you, I hope the Bass serves you well..
  10. LewisK1975
    I use these exact same ones for IEM'ing. They are great, excellent response on any frequency. Whoever gets these for this price is getting a bargain!

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1505212965' post='3370229'] I had one for a while, they're good bridges. Didn't like the brass inserts much but you can get steel alternatives. In theory you can adjust the string spacing with the inserts but I wasn't too convinced. Had it on my Road Worn P for a while, but in the end moved it on as I preferred the threaded-barrel BBOT fitted as stock. I've also been looking at this, though the spacing be fixed: [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_hi_mass_bridge_iv_brass.htm"]https://www.thomann....ge_iv_brass.htm[/url] [/quote] Oooh I like that too. Good price as well!

    Cool, been wondering about these myself since the BAII became impossible to get any more. I like the idea of the Brass saddles, which, correct me if I'm wrong, also offer sideways movement so you can adjust the string spacing?

    If it's the sound of the Tone Hammer you love, and just want it to be louder, what about the Tone Hammer pedal / DI Box? That has a DI out for sending to a PA, and the 'normal' out for sending to whatever amp you like.
  16. LewisK1975
    Yep - Looks OK to me.

    [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1504853406' post='3367739'] I might just give KiOgon a shout when I've found out if the knobs are split shaft or splines [/quote] I may very well do the same, just picked up a cheap Squier PJ for a backup and that mod sounds handy...
  18. LewisK1975
    Yeah, without a FX send / Preamp out, that's a difficult one. You can't be sure if the tuner out is before or after the EQ etc. Easy to test though, amplify the signal from the tuner out somehow and adjust the EQ. See if it has any effect on what you hear from the second amp. Also as the DI sends a lo impedance, balanced signal (that's it's job), and the second amp is going to be expecting a high impedance, unbalanced signal it's difficult to say what will happen, sound-wise.. I wouldn't think you'll break anything by trying either though. Just start with your gains and masters at zero and turn up very slowly.
  19. LewisK1975
    Thanks all. It is indeed mii Marc.

    Travelled to do a halfway meet up with Ed, he bought my Fender USA Geddy Lee Jazz. Ed's a really nice bloke,we didn't have long to chat as we both had to travel home again, but it was a very easy transaction. Thanks again Ed, deal with confidence folks!
  21. LewisK1975
    Thanks all I ended up buying the Squier, but you all knew that was coming anyway, right? Turned out to be a really decent Bass, chap had bought it over 15 years ago, with the best intentions of learning to play but never really bothered. No (and I mean ZERO) fret wear, truss rod works fine. Pots a bit scratchy (to be expected), Jack socket needed tightening. Strings were OK, still pretty bright. You can't see from the Gumtree pictures I showed above, but it's a Metallic Black colour. Gave it a once over on the weekend, set it up to my taste and I'm really quite pleased! Perfect Backup Bass.

    Me too, finally watched this last night. The OP pretty much describes it exactly, Great film but a very difficult watch on times, especially the scene with Jesse being interviewed for French TV. Couldn't take my eyes off it. And pretty much held my breath for most of it.
  23. LewisK1975
    Going to see the Squier after work..
  24. LewisK1975
    Love that. Great Job!
  25. LewisK1975
    The 410t should be a good match, is there something about the 410t you didn't like when using it with the ABM300, that's making you wonder about getting a new cab?
