RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

[quote name='xverminate' post='420436' date='Feb 26 2009, 09:46 PM']Hi Lad's / Ladet's

Many thanks for the number of trade offers that came flooding in, including several cash offers in excess of £350.

I have decided to hold onto this bass for the time being, Having played a gig last week then hearing a number of comments on how this bass sounded was amazing!

Everyone has advised me to hold onto it so that is what i will be doing.

Kind Regards

Didn't you get this only a few weeks ago? Why are you /were you letting it go?

Active circuitry??
I have a Washburn Status (slightly different I know), it Had active circuitry
but after persistent problems the pickups are now passive.

This is not a warwick,but a vester. Fantastic. It has very light strings(roundwound) fitted,
they are black topped going into the tuning pegs I was wondering what brand they are.
Wouldn't mind getting the fretted version of this.

I feel ripped off! The cat is missing from my one. I can't go to Turnkey
and dispute this as they have now ceased trading. Have a bump anyhow

Well , I have an Eden Nemesis NC-250 250watt Combo for sale .
Looking for around £300.00 .

looks impractical

Aaargh! I just used my new Aggie in Boss Tweed on Tuesday. I haven't got a cover for it either,altho' the Bassmerchant
will be calling me soon.
If this was the same colour as mine,I would have pm'd you.

Have a bump anyway

I used my new setup for my first get together with drummer &new guitarist on tuesday.
I use Aguilar AG500 plus DB112 (NO TWEETER) The bass I was using was my Steiney xm2 custom version
with split pick ups(not 2x humbuckers).

It sounded very growly . No effects or anything. I did't realise it till next day but,
all knobs were dead centre with gain turned 3 quarters up. Master was only turned up a little bit.

I played a gig about 2 or 3 years ago in front of a deaf dog,( Fred)and he did growl ....

[quote name='Kev' post='415727' date='Feb 20 2009, 07:51 PM']the whole bass looks cheap, and chances are they are gunna translate to £400 over here, £300 of which your paying for flea's signature. It will sell very well no doubt, but it will not be a £400 bass[/quote]

Yeah,that sounds about right

Don't mind the green body. I notice that the body isn't made of basswood so should sound pretty decent.
(I could be wrong about basswoodBTW as this seems to be on cheaper basses-correct me if I'm wrong )
I don't like the look of the neck or hardware tho' which imho does look cheap.

You could get a Telecaster bass,put a whammy bar on it , play through a trace elliot stack

with lots of distortion of course

Well, you could get rid of one of your guitars......then buy a nice f**** off bass

Just saw the yellow cabbie bass 4sale on the bay.
'BUY IT NOW £250.00' then of course the postage. I bid £175.00
It has been sold. Oh, well....

Still, I'm sure another will come along. Trouble is ,I think I've got my priorities right:
I have enough basses at the moment anyhow.

Maybe you could go for a customised bass of your choice.(budget permitting)
Status have a site where you can put your requirements into a 'bass'
You then consider the woods ,neck,finish etc.

Prices start from below a grand

They haven't done anything for 3+ years,altho' they're supposed to be releasing
a new album in the autumn. They don't get much press coverage over here.
Saw them at London Brixton Academy last time. The smell of parrafin,and heat were memorable.(I was in the balcony)
Plus of course......THE FIRE!! When they do come here again it will be sold out in minutes.

Hope the band goes well

Howdy! Mine is 'Boss Tweed' And what colour is yours ....

Thanks guys. I suppose the question to ask is'should I go for Aguilar cover same as cabinet'(which is pricey)
or do I go with another option?' I do like that trolley tho' & will probably get that at some stage .
unless you have any more suggestions....

If I never got the Aguilar cab/head I would have gone for this ....or the walkabout

Well. I did call the Bass merchant today. They took my phone no. as none were in stock.2weeks approx.
I was quoted£69.00 Still no details were exchanged so if anybody here may have something better...

[quote name='WalMan' post='405701' date='Feb 10 2009, 08:00 PM']I have Roqsolid covers for my MB combo & Epifani cab, but not really what you seem to be looking for.

That said look [url="http://www.roqsolid.co.uk/page.html?id=7&zenid=dp3aptvo8hv3fboi0qf84cpvt3"]HERE[/url] for your Aggi cover, which together with one of [url="http://www.discountdisplays.co.uk/html/folding_trolley.html"]THESE[/url] might sort of match what you are after.[/quote]

Thanks for that.

Love early Tangerine Dream,Jean Michel Jarre. Loads of synth.......

A few things I have to mention : There are always songs that you'll like from each form of music.For example
I hate 90% rap/soul/disco but there are still songs I like from each. Same with country/western.

I had tkts to see Johnny Cash back in the late '80s.-It was cancelled due to ''ill health''.

He then recovers and only died a few years ago. In those days I was a typical headbanger

I also remember walking past my usual tkt agency(I used to go to lots of gigs in those days)
The board said ''Garth Brookes ,only a few remaining etc. Hackney empire''
I never heard of him and thought that Garth Crooks was doing something about football
and wondered what all the fuss was about

I did see a live show on tv of his and it was ok.

Iused to love the stuff on radio one in the mornings: I minute you've got 'Black night'
by Deep Purple. The next it's 9 stone cowboy by Glenn Campbell

I bought 'let your love flow' and thought it was great. Then I went Metal..

This thread is getting longer. Don't know if anyone's suggested this successful bands look......
