Hi Folks [b]NOW SOLD - Thanks for all of your interest![/b] Having just bought a more expensive bass, I'm having a clear-out to bring some money back in. So this amazing 4x10 Hughes & Kettner cab has got to go to someone who can put it to good use! It is built like a tank, will take whatever you can throw at it and sounds absolutely fantastic but when I changed my car to a hatchback recently (because some drunken idiot wrote off my roomy Honda estate in June), it's become far too difficult to get it to gigs.. I got it in a trade with The Wigfinder General last year for approx £150, so I'm looking to get £125 ovno, plus shipping. It's definitely a 'Pro' level cab and is worth more than I'm asking really but I realise that not everyone needs or can easily use something like this.

I'm based in West Sussex if anyone wants to come over and check it out, have a chat and a cuppa etc.. Cheers Nik

**SOLD** Trace Elliott SMX Dual Compressor For Sale

** NOW SOLD** Thanks for the interest. Hi Folks I've recently upgraded to the Zoom B2 1.u, so this one has to go. Unit, manual and PSA included... It's been absolutely brilliant to be honest - I've used it as a tuner, FX pedal, pre-amp and compressor, so I really feel like I've had maximum value out of it.. Only reason I updgraded was because I wanted the footpedal that comes with the B2 1.u. IMHO, it's one of the best value units around and it's so easy to use - even for people like me who have never had pedals before! I bought it on Bassworld last year for about £40, so I'l like to get £30 plus p&p if anyone's interested? Cheque or cash on collection preferred to PayPal (sick of their fees) I'm at the SE Basschat Bash in Guildford if anyone's interested and wants to give it a try? Cheers Nik

Hi Folks, I've just bought a DBX compressor so this Trace Elliott unit is now for sale. It's a great little compressor for bass that's very easy to use in the studio or at a gig; seperate low and high compression settings, tone control and it runs pretty efficiently on 18v (2 x 9v batteries). No manual or original box but it really is simple and easy to use and is in good working order. Condition, as you can see in the photos is fairly good but as someone else said here recently, it's not bad considering it's been stepped on all it's life! [url="http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e358/silverfoxnik/TraceElliottCompressor1.jpg"]Trace Elliott SMX Dual Compressor[/url] I do have the original PSA but for some reason (that is beyond my luddite electrical skills to work out), it's not working?? I bought it on Bassworld last year for £45 (I think) so I'd like £35 + p&p, ovno. I'd prefer cheques to PayPal because the fees just seem to be getting worse and worse!! Or cash and a cuppa on collection of course (I'm in West Sussex).. They seem quite sought after and don't come round every day of the week, so if you like dual compression and that Trace Ellitt sound, then this could be for you?? I'm at the South East Basschat bash in Guildford tomorrow if anyone who's going wants to give it a try.. Cheers Nik

I find that Dunlop 0.73s & 0.88s work great for me but it depends on how you play. My advice would be to go to a shop and try out a variety of different makes and sizes to see which feels best for your style of playing. Nik

[quote name='Beedster' post='46782' date='Aug 17 2007, 11:11 AM']Looks like I'm not going to make it tomorrow so you're gonna have to manage without me, my Flea and Carol, my new 73 Precision! Apologies guys, I hope you all have a great day Chris[/quote] That's a shame Chris... Hope to see you at the next BC gathering, wherever that is? How's Carol settling in at Beedster Towers then? NIk

[quote name='paul, the' post='46628' date='Aug 16 2007, 09:35 PM']Stop it... that picture...too much... can't breath. "OH NO! THE HUMANITY! " [/quote] It is too much - you're right about that! I mean, that really awful looking Jazz, 3rd from left, with the block inlays and everything....It's just tooo much. We should just take it away now as an act of kindness....

[quote name='neilb' post='46551' date='Aug 16 2007, 06:23 PM']Met Bernie at the Guitar Show, nice bloke. Makes a decent bass or too, so Ive heard!!![/quote] +1 Yep -he's a great bloke and his basses are excellent.. -
[quote name='obbm' post='46191' date='Aug 16 2007, 07:55 AM']Yes there is room enough outside to park and unload without blocking the road. It is the ground level but there are a couple of steps up. See you there.[/quote] Ok - thanks! It's great having our own Basschat reconnaissance team

[quote name='G-77' post='45963' date='Aug 15 2007, 06:04 PM']Top man Dave, excellent photo guide, i will probably still get lost, ;-)[/quote] +1 Thanks Dave...really helpful! Just wondering two things, (i) is there a space outside where we can unload our gear before parking up for the day and (ii) is the studio on the ground floor? See you there, Nik

[quote name='Bassassin' post='45516' date='Aug 14 2007, 11:28 PM']One of my earliest influences, & still one of my favourite players. Great melodic sense, scarily precise right-hand (plectrum) technique, and those basslines - [i]Halo Of Flies, Billion $ Babies, Blue Turk, Gutter Cat[/i]... Genius. Jon.[/quote] +1 again...

[quote name='Hamster' post='45530' date='Aug 14 2007, 11:47 PM']+1 nearly all of the above. Sound good enough, last forever, cheap as chips. Just the name isn't fashionable? Goodness knows why, it's not as if they brought out the "Jade Goody Signature Model" is it Hamster[/quote] LOL Might just happen now you've mentioned it....

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='45360' date='Aug 14 2007, 06:15 PM']aah man i always liked danni[/quote] Have to agree with that about Danni, but Chris, this new bass really does have the 'mojo'!! Congratulations! Still on for the naming ceremony on Saturday?? Beer not champagne I hasten to add... Nik

I still have a Peavey Mark IV series amp and though it's older, less compact and a bit noisy, I much prefer the e.q on it to the e.q. on my Hartke HA3500.. IMHO, it's not just about best value or amp snobbery etc, it's also about what your 'ears' prefer. Nik

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='45401' date='Aug 14 2007, 07:34 PM']Brilliant and under rated - just listen to the Schools Out album.[/quote] +1 to that! DD was one of my earliest bass influences. He was also a major contributor to the Alice Cooper band's songwriting and as you say, the School's Out album is almost built around his bass lines! Great to see him getting some recognition.. Nik

T- Minus 3 days and counting!!! So, who's actually going on Saturday and what is everyone bringing? I'm bringing: Wal Pro2e BC Rich Eagle MM Sub 5 and probably my Hartke HA 3500 + GK 2x10... Nik

Hi Rufus Welcome to Basschat... By the way, we're not called oldies anymore.. the new phrase is 'midolescent'.. Look at this from Time magazine this week: [i]"...Ralph and Wanda made their debut in 1977, when Ralph heard of several new books about the challenge of middle age. (Stanley, the friend who, as part of his "midolescent" crisis, ran off in that episode with a meter maid, makes a reappearance in this week's dialogue.) "[/i] Sounds pretty good to me! Maybe we're a new breed called 'Bassus Midolescentus' ! Nik

No Fender Precisions for sale anymore........

[quote name='Beedster' post='45092' date='Aug 14 2007, 12:29 AM']Picked up the new bass this evening. '73 Precision in sunburst with JPUP added at the bridge (and added a very long time ago judging by the thumb wear in the finish just above it). To my eyes the sexiest bass I've seen in years and the best possible combination of vintage mojo with the right PUP combination. Haven't played it much so can't reort so far, but looking forward to setting it up with some nice flats tomorrow. Pics soon folks Pink PBass above still for sale. Offers? Chris[/quote] Sounds great Chris - look forward to seeing her...Will there be an official naming ceremony, with champagne etc? -
[quote name='obbm' post='44691' date='Aug 13 2007, 07:55 AM']Yes and yes.[/quote] Hi Dave That's cool - will PM you about the leads and look forward to seeing you Saturday! Nik P.S. Stingrayfan - would love to see your new G&L; always fanced a listen/play of one but never had the opportunity...

[quote name='BigRedX' post='44482' date='Aug 12 2007, 04:16 PM']Thanks silverfoxnik, I like the futuristic vibe too. I only started playing fretless 2 years ago, but now I only use fretted bass on about a quarter of the songs my band plays. For me there's something more "tactile" and expressive about playing without frets. Give it a go. You can get a Squire VMF Jazz for around £200 which is an excellent bass to try it out on. With my two Gus basses I've got most of my low-end options covered: And of course I could always add a bit of guitar with my Gus G1 Vibrato! [/quote] That's a serious looking collection!! The design is very clever too; like the input at the back.. Yep, I know I should have a go at fretless and to hear that it's become you main instrument after just 2 years is amazing.. Food for thought, definitely.. Nik

[quote name='obbm' post='44361' date='Aug 12 2007, 10:01 AM']I've finally got the recently acquired Lakland Daryll Jones 4-string ready for action. New scratchplate, new strings, J-Retro and she's ready to gig. [/quote] Beautiful! Are you bringing her to the Bash on Saturday - would love to hear how she sounds? Nik P.S. any chance of ordering some leads and collecting Saturday.....??
