how much for shipping to the netherlands?

do the lights respond normally (so the mute button lights when unmuted, backswitch is green when turned on)? if so I'd say pre-drivers f***ed.
Else the internal powersupply could be toast.

I was wondering what would best replace the current setup:

Custom JB going into Pod X3 Live (no amp modeling used) going into Trace Elliot GP7 150 with an Ashdown Mag410T

Im happy with the trace but the Ashdown is a backbreaker. I need something lighter, and not necessarily 4x10".
I would ideally like something about the same size but lighter or just a bit smaller but maintaining balls.

I'm playing Queens of the Stoneage like music.

For some it just seems cool to date a musician.. until they find out they have a love for music and they have to fit around that

not knowing it's only there for a) looks B ) protecting your body finish from scratchware (scratchplates can be replaced, paint is more expensive to have redone)

If you would want a new bass look out for a Fender Precision Lyte.. the name says it all! It's LIGHT!

like this one?

I own one of these and they're really good, unless you want some silly punk sound without using fx Great price, and tough like any trace! Someone buy this!

expensive solution though

and watch out for too much headbanging!

I kinda stick to a 3 basses rule for myself atm, because I'm a student I can't justify having a lot of gear. 1 gigging bass, 1 backup, and my first bass to round it off.

biggest downside to that amount of basses must surely be insurance costs!

mm had that with my EBS multidrive.. I could have used that now

however I'm not gonna buy a new one now!

If you don't want to wear it but want to keep it close wear it on a necklace

Now try Rancid with Time Bomb, I loved that one as much as Baggy Trousers

My basses combined are now around 2000 pounds worth of expenses... however I bought a bass for 790 pounds which is estimated to be worth around 1200!

I play on 3 different parts myself, all for tone!

Near the bridge for a tight sound, which needs a bit less low.
In between both pickups (on my jazz) for my most common sound
Pluck with my thumb ON the neck for some nice roots (e.g. the 'quiet' parts in Pet by A perfect circle)

they're there, but sunk in I think

On topic: It's not victor bailey atm!
Victor Bailey is doing a tour with the Victor Bailey Group

I get to give away two tickets on a dutch forum I'm owner of! Very cool, so I might get to see him soon!

Thanks! We need more recent material though :$

I liked your band too btw! That Christ Kicker song would fit a Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack!

I play in a 5piece Rockband (Desertrock / stonerock or whatever you wanna call it..)

Yours are really nice looking! great scenery to be jealous off!

Unfortunately I don't have a great cam but here goes

A 'van der End' JB, made in 1994 (so it's 14 years old for those who don't wanna do some maths)
Custom van der End electronics and preamp
Alder / Ash sandwiched body
Maple neck and fretboard
Hipshot Ultralite hardware









I've yet to have the nut replaced, because the current one is a bit too wide (after 14 years of use that's not too bad though)
