    Aye, the LMII was an incredibly popular head and sold bucketloads, combine that with the constant longing for bass gear that most of us have and it's not surprising that there's quite a few floating about in the FS section. I would say that for every person who sells one there are many more happy users who gig with their's week in week out and have no desire for anything "better" I love mine, it's going nowhere!

    First gigging rig was a Gibson RD Artist '77 in maple through a Trace Elliot Commando 15, didn't really cut the mustard for what i wanted so i got rid. Now i'm using a Zoot (somteimes a Warwick) and Markbass LMII with a Schroeder 1212r

    It says "custom made" on the headstock, that's where he got the whole custom bit from! I think it looks quite nice, lose what's left of the scratchplate and it'd be a cool bass
  4. lemmywinks
    I'll take the neckplate if that's ok

    Great basses these, i love mine!

    I assume so, the Mighty Mite on my fretless was originally on a MIM Precision. The body of the fretless is off a Hohner and it doesn't look like it's been widened. I also like the pickups on the Aria, i raise the bridge unit up high on the treble side and the harmonics are really loud.

    Sounded like a genuinely nice guy which makes it all the more upsetting, RIP Jimmy and condolances to his friends and family Steve

    If i had my fretless here i could check for ya as i have a mighty mite neck on that and an Aria STB Jazz here, unfortunately it's at my tech's house being upgraded at the moment. If i get it back soon i'll let ya know! I replaced the pickguard recently with a generic one and only needed to do a little filing if that's any help They're really nice basses IMO, i love the neck on mine!

    Mostly on songs which i've played in a few different keys from depping with different bands, Hush and Sweet Child O Mine are ones that i get confused on. I'll never forget the time i was depping for a band that played the latter in C, after the intro i came in a whole tone sharp in front of all my mates who pi$$ed themselves for the rest of the song, waiting for me to cock up again For years i got the blame for mucking up the post-chorus break on Are You Gona Go My Way, one day our drummer came up to me and said he'd listened to the CD the previous night and realised it was his fault all along

    Around £100 now i think, i got mine for under £80 when they came out. I found it a bit flimsy but sounded great. Looks much better built than it actually is though
  11. lemmywinks
    Again not too sure, they're probably about a year old and are most likely Maplins/CPC standard jobs, i couldn't find a brand on them when i last checked. They're black and are standard par can style
  12. lemmywinks
    I quite like that, very pretty. I had the 6 string version with the dark cherry flame and that was nice, very well built too
  13. lemmywinks
    Having had a quick look on t'net i don't think it is, i don't remember it coming with any software at all although there's a chance our old guitarist may have snaffled that if it did
  14. lemmywinks
    Have to say i don't know! Is there a different model number?
  15. lemmywinks
    Yeah it's cool, i'll need to get in there to test everything out before selling it anyways so taking pics of everything whilst i'm there makes sense. I'll have a chat to em soon

    This is the only site i could find: [url="http://www.sound-light-company.co.uk/electro-voice-m-68.html"]http://www.sound-light-company.co.uk/electro-voice-m-68.html[/url] They're older but quite small, we've had our band through them for years. Not the deepest subs but handle bass and kick well, we could never be bothered with larger bins. They are in quite good nick for the age, carpet and grille are still pretty good although the metal corners are rusted and i think one or two may need fixing back on/replacing. I'll try to get in the storage room to get pics next week

    I think Phaedrus was looking for something cab-wise, give him a shout?
  18. lemmywinks
    Could post but it might end up being quite expensive! Packing the QSC and desk together and sending it with Interparcel/Parcelbee might be the way to go on that one I'll try to get pics but it might be a while as they're in storage and our drummer has the key I'll have a chat to the guys about any discounts as it's between the 3 of us

    [quote name='GazWills' post='742055' date='Feb 11 2010, 01:32 PM']i used to have a similar psu from maplins. should run your pedals fine, but in my experience noisy as hell, as not isolated. there's a reason it's cheap![/quote] Our old guitarist had one of those, it struggled to power all of his pedals as he had quite a few, also it was quite noisy Maybe worth using a daisy chain lead until something comes up 2nd hand? I picked up a nice Dinosaur brick on here for £20 and it's still doing the job

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='741739' date='Feb 11 2010, 09:05 AM']but the MM necks are better & the tone is richer.[/quote] That's a matter of opinion though. Personally i can't stand MM basses, i've played a few and found the necks awful and the basses generally clumsy. Warwicks are much more my thing, IMO their necks wee on MM necks from a great height. Warwick necks aren't for everybody, i bought my 1st Warwick based on the sound i could get out of it (again, IMO much better than any MM i've played). The neck didn't take long to get used to and i was converted pretty quickly. I'd say a Jazz and a Warwick are the only two neck profiles i feel at home on

    It's dead easy, as said just remove the screws and you're there! I found the outer screws very flimsy and they can rattle loose when you're using the amp causing all sorts of horrible noises. Under all the extra metal it's the same case as the Little Giant i think. If you get rubber feet you can screw them into 4 existing holes with slightly longer screws, i also ground down the corners as they're really sharp. It's been really reliable since it's facelift, used to cut out all the time but it's been fine with no problems being run for a long practices, touch wood.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='740305' date='Feb 9 2010, 07:43 PM']Don't some Hofners have zero frets?[/quote] Yeah i can remember playing an old Hofner classical guitar that had one
  24. lemmywinks
    Also it does have jack outputs. See that hole in the middle of the speakon socket? That's it! Took me ages to find on my Superfly!

    Soundslive have an ex-demo LG1000 on their site at £219 Geoff: [url="http://www.soundsliveshop.com/p/Ashdown_Little_Giant_1000,_Ex-Display/ASH-EX-LTG1000"]http://www.soundsliveshop.com/p/Ashdown_Li.../ASH-EX-LTG1000[/url] It's been on there a while though so may have gone. Express have one for a tenner more with free delivery: [url="http://www.expressmusicstore.co.uk/products.asp?code=80910"]http://www.expressmusicstore.co.uk/products.asp?code=80910[/url] They look scarily similar to my Superfly (it's had the extra casing removed), same box and apart from the eq section they have the same front and back. I hope they don't have the same reliability issues!
