  1. Cheers Huge Hands, I quite like the challenge of having to neaten (as that a word??) up your technique a bit to stop random string hits and ringing open notes! I'm just finding what I found many years ago (with my first foray into 5'ers) that I hardly touch the low B and end up playing it like a 4 string. It was an impule purchase to be honest (good value these are) and figured maybe someone who wants to give fivers a go would be better off with it.
  2. I was aware of the blemish, it didn't bother me to be honest as it felt quite in all other respects.
  3. Hello, [b]WITHDRAWN[/b] More gear clear out. Cabs are in Hertfordshire near Hemel Hempstead I have two Hydrive 112 cabinets to go. These have the switchable impedence and are rated at 300 watts @ 8 ohms with adjustable horns. Good punchy cabs, I just prefer 15's. One is in very good condition and the other has a few dings and some minor lifting tolex (see pictures). I also have one Roqsolid cover. I seem to have lost the other one somewhere. Pick up preferred due to weight. Also happy to split. Thanks
  4. Hello, Price drop - £225 For sale is my brand new Cort 5. Got this in December 16 as I wanted to give five string another go, but once again feel it isnt for me. Guitar is absolutely mint other then a weird blemish in the wood on the top bulge (tried to show in the photos). I think this may have been from knot or fault in the original wood. Other then that, its perfect and a dream to play. I'll even throw in a gear 4 music gig bag for free. Bass in in Hertforshire near Hemel Hempstead. Blurb from the web site: [i][color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Light, Helvetica]"The new C5 Plus ZBMH model features boutique high-end looks, materials, components and performance in a high-value package for the serious bass player. The bass features a mahogany body with maple centre-piece and Zebrano top with matching headstock to give punch and growl to the tone. The bass features the new Markbass MB1 EQ for a transparent and organic tone and sweet sounding eq with active/passive switching and Bartolini MK1 pickups for a superbly balanced sound"[/font][/color][/i] Save yourself 100 odd quid off the retail price! Thanks
  5. Hello, I picked up a new Cort C5 Artisan recently. It comes with a Markbass pre-amp and Bart Mk1's. The bass plays beautifully for the price but I'm really not getting on with how the electronics sound (nasal with too much upper mid). Can anyone recommend a good set of pickups to swap them with? Thanks
  6. Hello, I have just got my hands on a Bugera BVV3000 in an attempt to try all tube at a decent price. Before everyone goes on the Bugera bashing, I must say I have several of there products and generally been quite impressed (if you keep expectations low, it's amazing how they can impress!). Anyway, I got it from the official Bugera bunch in Kidderminster and it was a factory reconditioned amp still with the 3 year warranty. So here's my problem, the amp has a distinctive hum when you switch the standby off. I have tried different plugs and switched off any fluorescent lamps. There is no TV in the room and I have 2 all tube guitar amps that don't hum. I'm not sure if this is just basic ground noise (first time with an all tube has amp) or if it's something I need to go back to the supplier about. Anyway, any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  7. I'm sure he picked up the musicman, it was just after he was talking about the island he visited off the coast of Senegal and the song it inspired. He played the sax to start with and then picked that one up (I thought it was fretless to be honest!) Personally I thought the five string wasn't as defined as his usual 4, but my god when he picked up that 4...amazing stuff.
  8. I had one of these. It was my first "proper" bass after some Hondos etc. I absolutely loved mine. Was able to get a great tone using this and a Warwick 1x15 combo. Many a good gig and recording had with it and never had any issues at all. I ended up selling it and buying a SoundGear 5 string as I thought it looked cooler and regretted it as I liked the sound of the TR more!

  10. Apologies, posted this on an IPad so photos gone a bit wrong. Let me know if you want any more photos.
  11. Hello, Selling this great little amp due to getting something with a bit more power. Amp used mainly for home practice and occasional rehearsals. Has a few minor marks and a small scratch from going in and out of gig bags, but otherwise is in very good condition and works perfectly. I will also throw in 2 sets of D'Addario strings (pressure wound and coated set) as I tried them on a recommendation and disliked them. So both sets have about 5 minutes use!

  12. I want to run this into a Hartke LH500 as I want access to the tone prints, but with more power. Is this possible or am I going to break both amps! Thanks
  13. Hello All, First post, so be gentle. I am currently running a TC BH250 head with 2 Hydrive 112 cabs. I need something else with more power and like the look of the LH500. The on-line manual has a warning though which states something along the lines of 600w at a minimum of 4 ohms should only be connected to this head. Would the two 112's (300w with switchable impedance 4 or 8 ohms) be ok with this head? Thanks in advance!
  14. Just a quick one to say I have just purchased a Hartke hydrive cab of this member. Communication has been excellent and the whole transaction was seamless. Packaging was top notch and overall I am very happy. I highly recommend buying from Rik!
