Hello again Bass chatters,

I've got a Boss ODB-3 for sale and it has the box and instructions also. It has only been used at home and is in great condition. At some point I scribbled some prefered settings in green pen on the back of the instruction booklet but that is the only real evidence it has been used before.

It is on ebay, but as usual I like to advertise it here too, so feel free to bid or make a sensible offer. New they are around £70 so offers of £30 and upward really.

Thank you for your time.

Hello again guys,

I've decided to sell my home-use rig because I find myself practicing through my Bass POD Live XT more and more these days. It is a 300w RB4 bass combo sat on top of a 15" external Laney cab; a mini-stack if you will I've used it for gigging just a couple of times and it can hold its own against a drum kit and looks slightly more convincing than a small combo amp. It's pretty easy to lift

It is on ebay right now, but as usual I like to advertise it here as well incase any fellow Bass Chatters want first dibs. If you want you can bid or I will accept any 'sensible' offers. Combined cost of the two items new is close to £480 so by 'sensible' I would have to say at least £200. I'm afraid it is local pickup only (cambridgeshire), as it would be a nightmare to post. I've done business with a few Bass Chatters now and it's been a pleasant experience. Feel free to drop in and try it out.

Here is the link:

I've also got some EMG pcikups / electronics and a Boss ODB-3 for sale which I will advertise in the resepective sections of the forum.

Thank you for your time,

Aharon

Hello again all,

I have decided against installing this in my new bass and it is now for sale. Everything is in perfect working order and the pickup itself is spotless. The tone, volume pots and input jack that come with it have been proffessionally soldered together already, thus it is ready to jump right into an instrument. Includes a 9v battery but the pickup can be wired to use 18v in series if prefered.

Including postage new, these are close to the £100 mark so I thought half price would be fair. If you want you can collect it (Cambridgeshire) or you can use paypal / bank transfer and I will post it to your prefered address. Here is a link to its page on the EMG website: [url="http://www.emginc.com/displayproducts.asp?section=Bass&categoryid=27&catalogid=75"]http://www.emginc.com/displayproducts.asp?...mp;catalogid=75[/url]

Merry Christmas,
Aharon

Bump!

if it seriously turns out you dont like it, then let me know

[quote name='Linus27' post='355180' date='Dec 15 2008, 04:51 PM']What's this active/passive switch? Can you tell me more?

Did you fit it yourself or did it come as standard with the bass?

Is there any sound difference when passive and active?

Thanks[/quote]

Hello,

It came with the bass when I got it off Sean.Robinson (fellow bass chatter) and it came standard when he bought it (must be less than a year ago). The switch basically bypasses the active preamp (the MM pickup itself is passive). The difference in tone depends entirely on what you dialed in on the preamp. Generally speaking it is very subtle and its main purpose is either for when your battery runs out or you could use it as a 'boost / eq' pedal by heavily adjusting the preamp controls.

Turning it on/off simply involves pulling the volume knob in/out. Personally I didnt use it at all because the battery life is very good and I never needed it.
Hope this helps!

[quote name='greyparrot' post='355171' date='Dec 15 2008, 04:41 PM']is it still for sale? how about cash £500 and ill pick it up from you? if interested send email to [email protected] as long as it looks like the pics and in the condition stated. These are hard times, and maybe a year ago i could have done the full £650! If the offer is too low for you, its cool, but its all i would be willing to pay.

Regards, Rich.[/quote]

Sorry rich,

I dont think £500 is reasonable enough. It has already gone down from £650 to £600. I understand times are hard but hopefully things get better soon!

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='349605' date='Dec 9 2008, 12:22 PM']good call, the SR 500 range are superb basses for feel weight playability and sound choices.
the BTB have a different pickup and eq to the SR500's MK1 pickup and MK1-4 eq.[/quote]



I've been looking at pimping out a mid-priced Ibanez. I play with a pick a lot and im concerned about the narrow string spacing though

Aharon

Is now on ebay....

Come on guys, I'd rather one of you have it. Keep it in the family and all that! At least make me a sensible offer

I am interested in doing this. Couple of questions.

Can warmoth make neck-thrus? also, in regard to the nut, were you able to just drop one in or do you have to chisel out a pocket for one first?
Also is it easy to align a bridge with the neck? or is this more aof a science than I think?

cheers,

Aharon

Anyone tried one of these?

Looks similar to the spector bridges. Bigger than a badass and presumably heavier?

Do they work? Which model basses are they drop-in replacements for, if any?

[quote name='vegas_hooker' post='349958' date='Dec 9 2008, 05:19 PM']I think im starting to get an itch for an MM after years of being a little indifferent to them.

Ill be in touch if I can work out the funds. Thats exactly the colours I was looking for.[/quote]

It's exactly the colours I was looking for too, I'll be sad to see it go. Please do get in touch!

Hi Aharon - this is an edit of your first photograph with the Stingray on the bed.

Cheers.[/quote]


WoW. Looks almost as good as it does in real life

Thanks for that Andrew, One thing im definately going to miss is the way she looks. I'll be lucky to find a body shape / neck / colour combo i like as much as this.

Surely somebody out there wants a slice of this?

[quote name='BassManKev' post='349255' date='Dec 9 2008, 12:30 AM']sounds like its just been modded for the pull switch on the volume knob, original preamp[/quote]


Indeed you are correct, all the electronics are original. MM pickup, MM preamp etc. I was going to throw an EMG in there at one point but thats another story....

[quote name='Sean.Robinson' post='349260' date='Dec 9 2008, 12:34 AM']Absolutely stunning bass, as Aharon has said i am far from a musicman fanatic, but this one i really liked, best musicman i have played and sounded great, however i just needed the cash. Further more a great guy and a pleasure to meet.[/quote]

ah ha! ladies and gents the previous owner. how is university going sean? and how is that shuker you were planning on getting when i saw you? hope your mte got on alright with that SR5.

Aharon

The new (and hopefully happy) owner of this bass is fellow BC'er John (aka. jd2112). Congrats John and thanks to all who were interested.

Now for me to find a new bass, anyone got any Spector Euro's kicking around?

Aharon

bumpy!

[quote name='Aharon' post='272686' date='Aug 29 2008, 04:38 PM']fretted only im afraid, but thank you for your interest![/quote]

[quote name='Duarte' post='272637' date='Aug 29 2008, 03:34 PM']great looking bass...I don't suppose you're interested in fretless? Judging by the 'metal face' I'd think not, but ya never know![/quote]

fretted only im afraid, but thank you for your interest!

I would like to sell / trade my Stingray 5 for an SR4. I am looking for a single Humbucker model (H) with 3 band EQ (will consider certain 2 EQ models). I live in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom and would like to know if any of you other british musicman enthusiasts would be interested.

I will also let her go for the reasonable sum of £750, which will go towards a new 'Ray. £15 postage, UK only. Local pickup / cash accepted (Cambridgeshire, England).

I will also consider trading it for a 4-string Sterling.

The SR5 is a lovely Trans Teal with Maple Neck and Black Pearl pickguard. It plays and sounds amazing and is in good condition. The only wear and tear is a microscopic ding near the bridge and some mojo frets 1-5. Aside from this it is like new. Personally I am not one who cares too much about aesthetic wear and tear, so dont be hesitant if your SR4 is a little beat up. I've had mine for 4 years and its been very well loved and played. It has only been gigged twice.







NEW PICTURES:












The reason I want to sell / trade is because I havnt found much use for a low B in the music I play and I have come to prefer the 4 string spacing.

PM / email me if you are interested. I am keen to arrange something sooner rather than later.

Thanks,

Aharon
