  1. [quote name='Golchen' post='417589' date='Feb 23 2009, 04:52 PM']I could have done with this a month or two ago! I'd still be tempted if I lived a bit nearer, but I figure that the postage would be a fair bit. Note: LOL at the notes printed above the keys! Er, what is "LOL"? Where are you based Could work something out.[/quote]
  2. [quote name='mybass' post='394430' date='Jan 29 2009, 11:39 AM']"Aria Pro 2 Laser Electric", made in Japan. Serial 7021089 £165 INCLUDES UK postage. Or £150 collection. 3 piece maple bolt on neck, rosewood f/board andpossibly an ash body under a jet black finish. Pretty nice condition, a few dings n' scrtches but nothing too serious at all. I've fitted 2 x Duracell batteries and new battery terminal/cables with a new jack socket. There is no case. The option I've used on another bass was to take off the neck and send as a more compact package. Bass can be posted, collected (always preferable) or possible meeting on route.[/quote] BUMP
  3. [quote name='mybass' post='416187' date='Feb 21 2009, 03:20 PM']MK 61 Midi Keyboard Controller. 5 octaves. Pitch bend, modulation, Data entry plus octave change and other controls. (see pics) I probably used this once or twice and since then it has been under cover totally unused, so it is still in "new" condition. Postage? I'd say around a tenner would do it. The original receipt from Digital Village was £120. Asking £40 plus yer postage or collect/meet up on the musos gigging highway.[/quote] BUMP
  4. [quote name='M4L666' post='416329' date='Feb 21 2009, 07:30 PM']Do you need a tone module for it? Can you use it out of the box?[/quote] You WILL need a sound/tone module to make any sound at all. This is ONLY the keyboard, no sounds on board it at all. I bought a Roland XV 5080 sound module (about £1200 ). Same condition as this keyboard, it has sat under wraps as well since new.
  5. MK 61 Midi Keyboard Controller. 5 octaves. Pitch bend, modulation, Data entry plus octave change and other controls. (see pics) I probably used this once or twice at the most and since then it has been under cover totally unused in the music room, so it is still in "new" condition. The original cost from Digital Village was for £120. A new piano has definitily made this redundant for me. Postage? I would hope about a tenner would cover it these days. Asking £40 plus yer postage or collect/meet up on the musos gigging highway. I am NE Hampshire/Surrey based.

Serial 7021089 Looking at £175 INCLUDES UK postage. Or £160 collection. 3 piece maple bolt on neck, rosewood f/board and I think history says an ash body. Nice jet black condition with a few not too serious scratches. Got new Duracell batteries and new battery cables installed and a jack socket. There is no case.

  7. [quote name='zbigniew' post='413947' date='Feb 19 2009, 10:12 AM']Pretty cool basses there, I would search my sofa thoroughly for money for that Aria Laser if I weren't in Iceland Z[/quote] Thanks. You must be pretty cool in Iceland too! The Aria could always be shipped but I haven't a clue what it would cost and if you would want to pay that.

Got new Duracell batteries and new battery cables installed and a jack socket. There is no case. The option would be to take off the neck and send as a package. "Ibanez Musician Fretless lined", Asking £340 which includes UK postage. Jan. 1980 as far as I can trace. Serial A804606. Made in Japan. Nice condition with a few "work related" dings. Was fretted but now made as a 4 string FRETLESS with replacement maple fret inserts. Easy enough to refret I would think. Mahogany body with ash front. Maple 3/5 piece thru neck with 2 stringers and looks like a macassar ebony f/board. Quite a few variations of this bass seem to have been made, this one has the same size neck and bridge pickups with actives. New battery and strap buttons have been fitted. There is no case but I may be able to supply one at reasonable cost for postage as this is a thru neck item.[/quote] BUMP

  10. [quote name='Sean' post='391072' date='Jan 25 2009, 05:27 PM']Some were but these mahogany bodied/maple topped ATK 400s were made in Korea. The ATK300s were ash bodied I think.[/quote] Looking at the picture angle, I would check on that top wood, looks so much like ASH and if it is a lightweight body, that ash is probably some form of swamp ash.
  11. [quote name='markdavid' post='407335' date='Feb 12 2009, 09:44 AM']Ive heard of people doing this to bring strings back to life , what type of Alchohol is used to do this (i take it its not methylated spirits) and how do you do this?[/quote] Cheap bottle of surgical spirit from most chemists. Er, don't drink this stuff, possibly make any string sound good to you afterwards! Boiling strings works too. Sometimes on a gig if they sound a wee bit dull, slacken off a string a few inches, give a few good pulls like trying to shake the grit outa them and retune. This can help brighten up enough for the gig, (that was on my nickel strings).
  12. [quote name='fretmeister' post='409053' date='Feb 13 2009, 09:13 PM']On 3/4 sized DBs - is the scale length shortened, or is it just the body size that is reduced?[/quote] I think also the "shoulders" on a 3/4 are reduced/less broad and therefore drop lower than than on a 4/4 or full size bass.
  13. [quote name='Mickeyboro' post='396291' date='Jan 31 2009, 05:59 PM']PM'd re Aria[/quote] Thanks....Pm'd back
  14. [quote name='Pookus' post='375967' date='Jan 10 2009, 10:27 AM']Last night i dreamed I was playing a fretted double bass. It sounded amazing!! Am I right in saying that some of the early viol family were fretted (early music)? Are there examples of fretted double basses around ?[/quote] Found this pic in an old double bass reference book, a beauty of a 6 stringer with (possibly gut) frets. You will have to enlarge the pic to see it well enough.
  15. [quote name='timloudon' post='376361' date='Jan 10 2009, 07:06 PM']It's a midget playing a mandolin![/quote] Its a mandolin playing a midget....boom boom!

  17. [quote name='mybass' post='383877' date='Jan 18 2009, 12:10 PM']Dean Vintage series "Z" model in black. Maple neck is natural colour. 24 frets, bolt on neck with rosewood f/board and Abalone dots. Basswood body. Precision and jazz pickups with separate volumes and a single tone control. The bass has never been gigged so apart from a couple of tiny marks, it is in immaculate condition. There isn't a case with this so pickup, meeting or postal arrangement to be discussed. Postage probably around £15/20?[/quote] Bumped down to a new price

  19. [quote name='spacebeer' post='385066' date='Jan 19 2009, 03:34 PM']If only it was a "vintage" 80's USA model......[/quote] Yes. At this price it may have been a giveaway for a real 80's vintage, and why they call it a "vintage" model is questionable a bit methinks, much like all those guitar "vintage" models! This is made in Korea, well put together and seems to be just one of the models of this body style/pickup configuration, including the "Z Metalman" and "Z Tour" etc. I think this one is the "ZBX"!
  20. [quote name='mybass' post='383877' date='Jan 18 2009, 12:10 PM']Dean Vintage series "Z" model. 24 frets, maple bolt on neck with rosewood f/board and Abalone dots. P and J pickups. I think these have a Basswood body. Really good sounding precision and jazz pickups with separate volumes and a single tone control. The bass has never been gigged so apart from a couple of tiny dings, its in immaculate condition. There isn't a case with this so it may be that the person who buying it speaks to me about getting a case first pre posting unless pickup somehow can be arranged. Can't figure what postage would be all packed up, £15/20? These go for £299 new, looking for £170's.[/quote] BUMP
  21. Dean Vintage series "Z" model in black. NOW SOLD
  22. [quote name='Hiperi0n' post='382240' date='Jan 16 2009, 12:15 PM']Hello guys...i need an info..i'm going to buy today a fender jazz 1975 , it's black..that should be a custom color at the time...do you know if under the black finish there was a white one? because in the parts where the black is fading away there is the white...thanx to anyone will help![/quote] Likely to be the semi opaque undercoat, a very very hard undercoat! I striped a 70's bass back to its ash body once. A very difficult job without electric sanders.
  23. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='380737' date='Jan 14 2009, 09:56 PM']I know some of you have gigged at The Peel, but has anyone rehearsed there? A guy I know is trying to put a band together and he's suggesting we should start with an evening at The Peel. Their evening session runs from 6:00 - 11:30 (ulp!) which is a helluva long time to be in a studio if it's a complete pile of poo. Anyone able to comment on the quality of the bass rig and PA supplied, the state of the rooms, the extent to which the toilets make you gag, etc?[/quote] Hmmm. basement type setup, low ceilings, felt claustraphobic but, rhearsals is rehearsals! Maybe Tweeters at Leatherhead may suit better.
  24. [quote name='ashevans09' post='210342' date='May 31 2008, 11:20 PM']Don't know if it fits with you but I got that a while ago, just random dizzyness that got progressively worse - turned out to be Labyrinthitis. Had it a couple times since then, and I found when it starts up loud noises don't help... I could be talking out my arse here though.[/quote] No, you are not. Be careful with volume..guitarists and cymbals n' snare drums are the worst.
