  1. A bit OTT for me i think. Much prefer a nice plain finish... must be getting old!
  2. /\ Wot they said /\ Bought a few things from Steve, thoroughly nice lad.
  3. Pleasant guy, knobs arrived quickly! Cheers dude!
  4. [quote name='sshorepunk' post='381279' date='Jan 15 2009, 01:51 PM']I'll have a look tonight, you may as well take the whole laptop cos their won't be much left once I've took all them things out T[/quote] Ok can you let me know the model number and the spec? Preferably the ID (should be on the base) as Toshiba make loads of different specced machines under the same model numbers Cheers Steve EDIT: Or swap for a Jim Dunlop bass wah?
  5. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='380904' date='Jan 15 2009, 12:52 AM']For Behringer pedals, the one you don't need to stomp on (like limiters and compressors) are the good ones, because its their plastic breakyness that is their downfall.[/quote] Our old guitarist was showing off his new Behringer pedals at a gig once, boasting about the fact he'd just bought 4 pedals for half the price of my tuner. The Eq and Tuner pedals didn't last the gig. Fortunately we were playing at a venue on the promenade so they were thrown in the sea within 5 mins of the last song. Behringer pedals are excellent value for money, as long as you don't have to step on the pedally bit!
  6. Damn! I'd have gotten away with it too if it wasn't foir you pesky kids!
  7. [quote name='cheddatom' post='380970' date='Jan 15 2009, 08:43 AM']It's a PC not a laptop.[/quote] Sigh.... I must be going blind, could have sworn there was a laptop for sale in the original post.... Oh wait, there is!
  8. Would you consider selling the laptop parts seperately? I'm interested in: Hard drive (size?) Optical drive (make and model number?) Charger Internal wireless card (if present, single antenna only) Thanks (also apologies for coming across as a bit of a gyppo) Steve
  9. I think dangerboy was selling a short scale for £80, give him a shout. Looks a beaut!
  10. Here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34586"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34586[/url] There's more good threads a couple of pages in on this section of the site, you may have to dig through to find out what relates to you but it's all sound information
  11. We've heard loads about the new Hartke heads but not the new cabs. IIRC they're a new design incorporating aluminium and paper in the cones? Best trying them out first as they might not be what you're looking for. I remember the review of the new gear saying they don't have the expected low end of a traditional 8x10, which isn't ideal for such a big heavy cabinet! The Ampeg 8x10s are very cheap 2nd hand nowadays purely down to the fact that heavy gear is unfashionable and we've all discovered there's no need to lug all that weight around anymore Don't always think you have to get massive cabs to make serious noise, i've got a similar Schroeder to Delberthot and it's by far the most efficient cab i've tried (i've had 4 Hartke cabs too, VX and XL series). It's also well documented on this site that the traditional arrangement of 1x15 and 4x10 isn't always the best option. There's some recent threads in this section with loads of great information in
  12. There was some Hartke 2x10s in the for sale not so long ago IIRC, they're not too heavy and you could always get another for gigs and just use one for practice. There's also this which is a steal at the moment: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28311"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28311[/url] I used to practice up 2 flights of stairs in a building with very high ceilings (we also used to store all our PA there....). Small and light is DEFINITELY the way to go if stairs are involved!
  13. Does the stack knob have the knobs and pot? Is it suitable for vol/vol? Ta Steve
  14. [quote name='GreeneKing' post='376077' date='Jan 10 2009, 12:45 PM']Not quite but.... [url="http://www.pattynanmedia.com/mediac/400_0/media/Hilary$20James$20$26$20Simon$20Mayor$20Duo.jpg"]http://www.pattynanmedia.com/mediac/400_0/...$20Duo.jpg[/url][/quote] Ya reckon the bloke's feelin a little "inadequate"?
  15. I did a similar thing, bought this, the Owen Gremlin and a Pickle Pie. Kept the other 2 as i preferred them. I paid £70 for it so i'm glad it's doin the rounds at a great price!
  16. Blummin Eck! That was quick!
  17. LMII - Everything pretty much flat, depending on the room/where the cab is etc. Sometimes a little high-mid boost . Have the VLE off and the VPF no further than 11 o'clock. If i need any boost i usually just use the 3 band eq on my bass
  18. Mine's here too, nice and long too for us tall'uns! Very slimming! Cheers dude! Steve
  19. Keep an eye out for a steal, esp at this time of year. A while ago i saw a Standard Jazz in antique burst on ebay for £100 BIN. Nearly pulled the trigger, even though i'd just ordered mine!
  20. Yep, you'd have 307w @ 4ohms
  21. Jim Dunlop Bass Wah 105q Boxed with instructions, works perfectly. The base plate has velcro on the underside where i switched it round to put it on my pedalboard. Please note this is on the reverse so you don't see it if using it normally. Great condition Link to the Dunlop site: [url="http://www.jimdunlop.com/index.php?page=products/pip&id=272"]http://www.jimdunlop.com/index.php?page=pr.../pip&id=272[/url] Looking for £65 Cheers Steve
  22. It'd look a bit silly turning up to practice with one of those on my pedalboard. Now if it were a Major Morgan.......
  23. I DO like that....... As far as trades go..... Hartke VX215 cab? Er, can't think of anything else bass related at the mo! EDIT: Owen Bass Gremlin Overdrive? Boss SYB-3 Synth pedal? Jim Dunlop Bass Wah? Dunno what the pedals are worth really, the Owen i'd put at about 60, the SYB at about £50 and the Wah £60+? Not wanting to get rid of the Owen really, would rather the other two went as i don't have a use for em at the mo! Ta Steve

    Cables

    [quote name='bassbluestew' post='369986' date='Jan 4 2009, 03:10 PM']I recently got some, well two, Planet Waves Pro cables ( £18 for 10ft so not dead cheap ) and they keep falling out of my basses. I've used loads of different leads over the past 30 years and never had this problem before. It happens on all three of my basses, and only with these leads, no others. I contacted Planet Waves who have suggested I return them for "evaluation and possible replacement". Stewart[/quote] That's weird, i use planet waves cables too and found them the snuggest fit in all of my basses! Got mine ages ago though so they might be different now
  25. Just out of interest, what would sort of price would you want for the Tobias?
