  2. I would pay good money for the guts of a 5HH Bongo. I can live with the looks, and the sound was 'da BOMB, but I was not lovin the 34" B and the lower horn dug into my leg when I sat down. Not cool.
  3. Ebay pulled my second ad because I had the temerity to say that it was for sale elsewhere! Pigs Anyway. Yours for £650 otherwise I will keep it and sulk!
  4. [quote name='bilbo230763' post='105269' date='Dec 17 2007, 11:49 AM']& the drummer is beautiful.[/quote] <sigh> why can't we just appreciate players for what they have to say instead of how they look. So shallow........... oh......... sorry............... I'll get my coat...............
  5. Multi band compression on classical is the horriblest thing ever. The whole sound changes. There is a light classical prog on Radio Cymru (Welsh radio). Radio Cymru is put through M B C. The prog is on on every Sunday morning. Until I knew about M B C I was absolutely convinced that the presenter had his own weird reverb unit which he put across everything to get a signature "sound" for his programme. Amongst other things, all the upper strings become un-naturally pronounced and shimmer - but not in a good way. I used to lie in bed trying not to listen to it, but my wife used it as an alarm. It has now moved slot. Phew.
  6. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='135088' date='Feb 6 2008, 03:29 PM']Compression...[/quote] Not just compression, but multi-band compression. The audio spectrum is split into 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 parts (by frequency) and each section gets compressed on it's own. Mucho loudness ensues.
  7. [quote name='mcgraham' post='135074' date='Feb 6 2008, 03:18 PM']Somebody please nab it![/quote] !
  8. Now on Ebay with a start price of £680. Have at it. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290203014163&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=019"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=019[/url]
  9. [quote name='eubassix' post='133451' date='Feb 4 2008, 10:05 AM']You could do what I'm doing (or planning, thus far) - get over to The Messe (always wantted to; never managed it as yet) on the proceeds of a few sales & savings, with some dosh to buy something 'special'.[/quote] MMMMMMMMM basschat trip!
  10. It's a flight case! Surely an address on the outside is all it would need for carriage!
  11. As an ex 410XLT owner, this is an awful lot of cab for very little money.
  12. [quote name='TPJ' post='131547' date='Jan 31 2008, 09:11 PM']Bump for a gucci amp. I've got the older 600 w 1 channel model and it's superb. Not sterile or thin sounding even though it's SS. Set flat all the time...I don't even use the filters. Cracking amps[/quote] Thanks TPJ. My wife would be astounded to know that I own ANYTHING that could have gucci as part of a description of it
  13. Back up for good this time. I'm deep in a GAS attack and ......................... you know how it is.
  14. Bump-age. I am open to offers on this. I want to shift it.

    BASS BASH MARCH 2008

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='129672' date='Jan 28 2008, 11:30 PM']Great - looking forward to meeting you then Owen and I'll be bringing along my Roscoe Beck 5 you helped me to sort out![/quote] I hope that it's not CAR with matching headstock otherwise I will have to take it home with me. I have always fancied one.
  16. [quote name='Bassworm' post='130095' date='Jan 29 2008, 04:10 PM']Hi Owen, It's a mighty 36", so no flabby low B! Mike E.[/quote] Hmmmm........... mighty F# more like! Unfortunately it is the ever present "I need to flog something before being able to buy anything" scenario.
  17. [quote name='Welshbassist' post='129495' date='Jan 28 2008, 06:56 PM']You're selling it? Even though I had no idea what it was when I saw you play, I thought [b]it sounded amazing![/b] Edited to bold [/quote] Aw, shucks! Thanks. It is great and I will not be dissapointed if it does not go, but I do fancy a shot on the Berg IP 112! For anyone else reading, it is a great amp if you have 2 bassses on stage, it has 2 completely independant pre-amp channels.
  18. What's the scale length on the Overwater?
  19. Thomastik Jazz rounds. Very boingy/spongy/low tension, very nice. Ceilliau y ci.
  20. PM
  21. [quote name='Sibob' post='128346' date='Jan 26 2008, 06:00 PM']You can kinda see that its a Bravewood body, I've never seen a vintage fender that has 'aged' like that Still a nice looking bass though. Good luck Si[/quote] Looks like my (for real trashed) '66 Jazz as well.
  22. It looks like the IP 112 has gone so I will be keeping this. Can I work out how to cancel my Ebay auction? Can I heck. Could someone direct me here? TIA
