I can't see it working as a pedal though, you'd need to be impossibly precise with your playing so there aren't any fluffed notes or two strings ringing out at once, chords, etc would be hugely problematic. The piezo pickup for each string is the key to it on the guitar.[/quote] Does the Variax bass do that? Could I go down to bottom F sharp? Now I'm excited!

Its so cool[/quote] My mother-in- law made it for me out of teddy bear material. It comes off like a giant cardigan closed by velcro at the front. If I did country and western I would have a cow one made Ummm.. bump for Jack.

    [quote name='icastle' post='1020290' date='Nov 11 2010, 03:50 PM']Is there perhaps a friendly luthier on this site that could act as an intermediary on a "don't come running to me if you can't get it to work" basis? Of course, you "could" always become "Owen Bass Research" and order one for a new prototype you are working on... but that'd be sneaky and we'd never condone that.... would we? [/quote] I like the way you are thinking!

    [quote name='icastle' post='1020171' date='Nov 11 2010, 02:51 PM']Ok. Clutching at straws here but the only realistic thing I can think of now is have you considered dropping Bolin a mail (they look like very laid back guys!) to see if they have any systems left over? As it was a standard production model there are usually a few odds and sods left over in dark corners...[/quote] I have tried, but to no avail. However, another email cannot hurt
  12. Owen
    It's a bass made by a company called Bolin. They are a high end US custom maker who bought out a line of production models and then stopped. Fishman have told me that this kit is only available to OEM manufacturers so I am guessing that my search is futile. It is the only piezo system I have tried that has worked for me. I'm sure that there is other stuff out there, but without direct experience of it I would be reticent to drop the £ on them. [quote name='icastle' post='1019624' date='Nov 11 2010, 03:52 AM']Can't find any trace of a product from that description - what bass is the one you have in? Ian[/quote]
  13. Owen
    Buying and selling 2nd here is more or less cost neutral. Taking a loss of £20 or £30 is certainly cheaper than a day trip to London or wherever both in time and money. There is also the thrill of the chase

    [quote name='icastle' post='1018754' date='Nov 10 2010, 01:40 PM']Can't find anything like that I'm afraid I presume it's on an acoustic or DB?[/quote] No it is in a Bass Guitar with a piezo bridge. It is an internal pre-amp.
  15. Owen
    "3/21/01vk", "piezotrim", "fishman" and "rev 2.1" They are the only identifying features.

    [quote name='icastle' post='1018064' date='Nov 9 2010, 08:12 PM']I've seen a pile of Fishman kit somewhere on my travels - which model number is it you are trying to find?[/quote] I will open it up and have a look

  18. Owen
    I have one in a bass and REALLY like it. I want to put one in another bass but they only sell them to manufacturers. Does anyone know where I might get hold of one? I have also posted in items wanted, but I think I might have to buy through a builder.

    SOLD.

    Please will someone buy this. No interest in a swap for a Warwick 6x10? No, I thought not.

    [quote name='casapete' post='929549' date='Aug 19 2010, 10:11 AM']Owen posted me some MM bridge screws FOR FREE!!! (And he chucked in the allen key and some EB wipes too) What a top bloke. Good to know that this is still the place to meet decent people who help each other out etc. Restores my faith in human nature it does... Many thanks Owen, ATB Pete.[/quote] I had no idea that the wipes were in there, this paints a false picture of me. I'm not that good.

    Nice wood.

    Soundcraft Spirit Folio SX. stereo sub group 3 way EQ - sweepable mid 3 Aux sends Direct out on first 8 mic channels. This a lot of desk for the money but has been sitting idle for 8 years so could probably do with a clean. If you have the time and the servisol it is bargainous. The end cheeks have been taken off and lost. There are holes at the top which need filling or taping over - see first pic. Both sides the same. There are similar holes at the bottom which have been gaffa'd over. £80 + carriage (£10?)

  25. Owen
    I guess it depends on the pickups/pre-amp or not. Are you thinking of putting an Allparts together or is it one someone has built?
