Hi all, I'm thinking of buying this so as to give it a bit of TLC and because I've always wanted a Jazz. Does anyone know anything about these basses, how old, what they are made of and how much they are worth. I hope the pics can give you some idea of its general condition. The seller says that it plays well but I'd like to see it in the flesh to check for any neck, truss rod issues. Cheers Steve.

Hi to everyone. I am expanding my lesson schedule to include all evenings and weekends. My teaching style is relaxed and informal and is tailored to suit the needs and asperations of the bass player. You can progress at you own pace to your desired goals. Beginner to intermediate to advanced tuition in your prefered style. I'm based in Birkenhead, five mins from the tunnel entrance but in some circumstances I can come to you. I have a project studio to help students develop timing and harmony skills by playing with backing material and recording parts. You can contact me via P.M. Thanks for looking. Cheers Steve.

A usual suspect.

[quote name='crez5150' post='154739' date='Mar 10 2008, 05:39 PM']can you just use this as an effects unit..... ie no eq/preamp etc...[/quote] Hi crez, you can just use the effects on their own. It's dead simple to turn off the amp and cab models, the eq's and that leaves you with studio quality effects like 4 compressors, 11 overdrive/distortions, chorus, reverb, delay, sound on sound, 3 wahs, octave, enhancer, slow gear, defretter, ring modulator, phaser, flanger, harmonist, pitch shifter, pedal bend, 2x2 chorus, auto slap, short delay, vibrato, humanizer, tremelo/pan and a bass synth. Ooh and a clever tuner and noise suppressor. I've heard people in the past saying that after a few hours they had good usable sounds and while this is true, like anything, the more you put in the more you get out. This unit when matched with the right input from your bass and the right output to your amp can sound superb but I've found that if I use the effects sparingly, I get the best results. Iif there's anything else I can help with just get in touch, Cheers Steve.

I have a set of brand new, unopened Elites 30-90 double ball end strings to trade, for 40-100's. Would rather trade but will sell for £11. Cheers Steve.

ACG guitars. Drop Alan a line.

Very misleading and very poor show saying £600 then changing it to £900.
-
Amen to that. I wouldn't mind if it had any filters to tweek, It takes an age to get any decent wah tones but for what it is and how much you can pick them up for £150-200 they are great.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='153367' date='Mar 7 2008, 08:21 PM']you wont get a amazingly decent one, best tone i got was with the ocatave fuzz on it, eq'd to f***[/quote]Hi Kev, I've got many OD's and distortions set up on the GT6B, the versitility is great and the sounds I can get are very decent for the stuff I like, Fall, Sonic Youth, Squarepusher. A good Muse type one I found tonight is in the Overdrive menu, in the psychadelic setting. I can find most tones in the OD/distortion menu with no eq and sometimes a bit of compresion. I find that the less you have to add the better the tone and you can mix your dry and effected sounds to perfection.

What a load of toss. It looks like the kind of thing someone may have in the corner of their office, along with miniature duke box, Golf club and a Billy the Bass.....did you see what I did there, crap.

I think a Peavey Black Widow 1x15" would sound the dogs. I had one in my Combo 300, which had 210w going into it and it was really load, punchy and smooth. I think you could get one for quite a good price on the bay or maybe on here? Cheers Steve.

SOLD - Epifani Quest II preamp: thanks for the interest
steve-soar replied to lozbass's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
This was on my list of preamps when I was looking for one. I have since bought the SVP PRO from Dood, as I wanted the sound of my old SVT 2 but this combined with a nice, lightweight and clean power amp would be incredible. I never thought I would say this but if I had seen this three weeks ago and Dood wasn't selling the SVP, fully revalved, then I would have bought this with no hesitation. If my wife had been born in Stepford, then I would now be sending a cheque for it. 6stringbassist, Kev, has great taste. £300, snap it up. -
Preamp for Status Series II replica, East, Audere?

Hi Burpster, I don't think it will. -

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='153316' date='Mar 7 2008, 07:14 PM']Totally agree but I think most of the damage was done through too many knocks to the head rather than excessive noise. Over the last few years I've been very careful about hearing protection while gigging. I've not used the best plugs going, but I've always used something. The moral? Don't play in the Front Row EVER[/quote] Or the second row, or number 8, or fly half, or......just don't play rugby. One of my best friends died last easter, after a blow to the chest, he had a heart attack a few days latter. We used to play at county level when we were kids but he continued. I broke fingers and collar bones when I used to play, the though of anything like that happening to me now BTW, I've started to use Mack's Ear Seals, I just don't push them right in. -
I feel strangely depressed now. That was a lot of bass for a little money, sorry to rub it in. What are you going to do with the money, if you don't mind me asking? Cheers Steve. Just remembered, Monkey Grip! -
I'm loking for a preamp solution to fit into my KGB Headless bass. It's a replica of an old Status Series II with four holes for controls, volume, balance, bass and treble. It also has two small holes for toggles and led bulb. The bass has two 1986 EMG pickups, the ones originally fitted to Steinberger L2's. I have the filter basesd preamp in my ACG but I would like something with more mid control for this bass. To that end I'm considering an East U Retro Deluxe or an Audere Classic, however, the Audere is designed for passive pickups and would need caps fitted to make the EMG's suitable. The bass is being refinished at KGB at the moment, I was going get Alan at ACG to do the work but he's snowed under with his own builds. Does anyone have any experience of either preamp or any advice or alternatives? Cheers Steve.

Sorry Kev. I think it's great the way in which you protect the forum from alien invasion.

....Parp! Excuse me.

The Baschat terrier attacks yet another unsuspecting visitor walking up the garden path.

Thank the Lord that I'm left handed and could only see a few pieces. Imagine what customs would charge for the PRS? the money grabbing barstewards.

Indeed. It doesn't work properly, so you should be entitled to a full refund. He is just trying it on with you, so as not to be out of pocket. It sounds like the tea double you ay tea knew what he was selling, so go for your money back and if he won't co operate, then start to play dirty.

Yeah, £350 is a bargain but it handles 400w as opposed to the 6x10's 900w ? It's nearly half the price but I reckon it will sound better because of the mix of speakers and I think it has Electrovoice.
