Where abouts are you based sir?

Yep i'll take a ticket -

Although I'm not sure what the impact of having this kind of thing freely available on basschat would be

pm'd

I wouldn't mind checking this out at some point buddy - can I give you a shout when I'm in Brighton next?

It sort or reminds me of a baby version of Jean Baudin's 'hideous claw' bass

I miss my one of these terribly - it was the best sounding bass I've owned

I've never had much luck with bartolini pickups - If I owned that bass I'd replace the pickups first (flog them on here) and run it passive until I had the cash to replace the preamp.

What pre do you have in there currently? I'm assuming it's a Schack -

IMO get it completely bypassed first (don't necessarily trust the bypass switch), it'll be easy to get it sorted with a basic vol/blend/tone passive setup so you'll know exactly what it is you don't like before you go spending £200 odd on an onboard pre - if it still sounds crap to your ears then adding a preamp isn't likely to improve it - you can't polish a turd and good pickups are infinitely more important than an onboard pre.

On the other hand, you may actually like the sound of the barts without the nackered pre in getting in the way, in which case - start looking at replacement circuits.

Hi Guys - if anyone is free and interested, I'm gigging with my band The Doppler Shift at The Providence in Brighton -

Entry is only £1 and drinks are cheap - our myspace link should be in my sig

Cheers ;D

?

Played one of these at GAK in brighton - great bass, any news on it?

bump, still available

I'm often amazed at how good the peavey 4x10tvx sounds - silverfoxnik's peavey 4x10 w/gk 700rb was a wicked rig

they are heavy though ;D

very nice

That's cool - I couldn't make my mind up between the LMII and shuttle 6.0 initially, but there was nowhere to try the genz out near me and I knew I already liked the LMII.

I've played through a few of the markbass combos and really haven't been that impressed either, especially when compared to a separate head/cab from them. In particular, the cmd102p, which I've used numerous times now, isn't even in the same league as my LMII + 102HF cab setup.

I'd still like to try a shuttle out of curiosity at some point ;D

A crappy pic and now out of date - I'm running an LMII instead of the GK.

I owned these two at one point;

I didn't leave, we collectively decided to call it a day :-(

Tis a shame but we had a good innings anyway, our album is still in the shops too![/quote]

I bought a copy from HMV a few months ago, it's a shame you split - it was looking like things were ramping up for you

I've reported it to ebay

free bump - these basses are the tits

ooh, that's seriously piqued my interest - I think now is the time to ebay my bob gluab

would you consider selling that tort plate separately?
