Hi guys, After breaking my second accousitc upright :S Im gonna sit tight and just play my Yamaha SLB100 for a while until i can afford to buy a new bass with a hard case. Ive got a couple of pickups for sale, a Fishman BP-100 and a planetwing. Ive also got a Fishman platinum bass preamp. Ive used these in several different combinations. Ive used both pickups together running through a twin channel Phil Jones Suitcase. Ive even used the planet wing on my SLB. The Bp-100 gives a very balanced and even tone but lacks a little bit of 'wood'. I find that the Planet wing creates a very ''real' wooden sound and running through the fshman preamp sounds amazing. I recorded using the BP running through an Ampeg portabass rig and the engineer was so impressed he used most of the DI sound on the Album. You can hear this recording here. www.myspace.com/Beggarjoe. Im looking for about £75 for each of these. The BP-100 is adverstised on DV for £139, The planetwing retails for about 150 euros which google makes 131 quid and the fishman platinum is about £140. or ill sell the lot for £200 bargain or what?? thanks guys ReDD ps. all are in excellent condition and here are the adverts [url="http://www.planet-pickups.com/"]http://www.planet-pickups.com/[/url] [url="http://www.fishman.com/products/details.asp?id=10"]http://www.fishman.com/products/details.asp?id=10[/url] [url="http://www.fishman.com/products/details.asp?id=43"]http://www.fishman.com/products/details.asp?id=43[/url]

UPDATE Just thought id let you guys know i bought the planet wing pickup, pretty awesome bit of kit, loud too! thanks for all the good advice

also a good pre-amp will set you back about a 100 quid, a decent mic the same and i paid near 200 quid for my gig bag so I reckon thats a decent deal

Ive had back and neck pains over the last 10 years, something that came from an old injury whilst messing around with chainsaws. various chriproactors and physio sessions later and i still get the pain. The main pain that guitarists get according to my chiro is because we hunch over our instruments whilst sitting. Im six foot 1 and have stupid long dangly arms and if i play anything of a shorter scale than a spector or a warwick thumb boy do i suffer! my chiro has given me loads of exercises that keep it at bay now which is cool.

no stairway....denied (sorry couldnt resist)

sunny? not this year manchester is up to its usual tricks, raining for 14 days at a time, you know the drill. Might be down your neck of the woods soon so if youre around be good to buy you a pint?

Hi Guys, just wondered if anyone is interested in my Ned Steinberger 5 string CRT electric upright , in gorgeous nick with usual gig bag, tripod etc, cost me about 2200 from the bass centre about 3 years ago. looking for about 1000 quid, ill chuck in a brand new set of hybrid strings as well (worth 100 quid) if anyones interested ill chuck up some pics later thanks ReDD

Cheers for all the advice guys, think i may try out the realist and pick up a sans pre in a few weeks to bulk it out. Has anyone ever used more than one pick-up? Btw Jakesbass, when you moving back up north so i can get more lessons from ya? heh heh, hope all is well mate
