  1. Hi

    Just putting this up here briefly before going to evilbay, as a special basschat incentive the sale includes a Roland GK2b bass midi pickup and a long GK cable so it has everything you need to get started on midi bass!


    I’m selling my axon guitar to midi converter, having tried the Roland gi20 before settling on this unit I found the axon to be far more reliable tracking wise, especially on bass.. Also there is a lot more functionality in this unit with the ability to separate the fretboard into several playing zones. You can assign a different sound to each string or only have samples kick in when you play in the higher register etc..
    I used this unit to run VSTis on my laptop and the results were great and reliable in a live situation...The unit is in excellent condition and comes with a European power supply, I will throw in a euro to uk converter and a Roland GK cable..
    Here is the technical blurb..


    The AXON AX 100 MKII is an ultra-fast guitar-to-MIDI controller in a single-unit rack size. Features an early-recognition system which evaluates the impulses from the strings as soon as they are picked and converts them into values for pitch, dynamics and length. A 32-bit RISC processor makes it possible, opening up a whole new world of music to the guitarist. The AXON AX 100 MKII has 128 Presets, and over 500 Sounds. With the 12 play area zones, the AXON AX 100 MKII even makes your guitar multitimbral - you can play different instruments by splitting the fretboard, strings or pick position!

    AXON AX 100 MKII Features

    * Extremely fast guitar-to-MIDI controller with impulse early-recognition system
    * Compatible with electric and acoustic guitars and electric basses
    * Automatic pick position recognition
    * 12 play area zones
    * 128 programmable presets
    * 32-bit RISC processor
    * Built-in tuner
    * Arpeggiator
    * Over 500 high-quality sounds (GM and XG-sound compatible)
    * 10 drum kits and one SFX kit

    This is a great unit for bass or guitar, you will not be disappointed!







    offers around £280 with pickup and cable.

  2. kev - the bass micro synth is very much like the old one, cept with true bypass, and 9v power.. there are loads of great analogue sounds but i also find myself using it for octave and dub sounds, the distortion is pretty good too.. the bassdrive is good for overdrive and more subtle distortion and the woolly mammoth for more extreme stuff without the uncontrollable feedback.. it also sounds really good after the synth to dirty up the sounds...

    cheddatom - the grey box was built for me by local electronic nutter Tom Bugs at Bugbrand who used to drum with me in a band called War Against Sleep.. i was trying to work out whether to try an E/H LPB or a n E/h hogsfoot and he cloned both for me in one box, made it true-bypass and gave them separate ins an outs so you can patch them in separately, i use the hogsfoot more but the LPB does come in handy when i need a bit more power to cut through..

  3. [quote name='Shockwave' post='213346' date='Jun 5 2008, 05:03 PM']Hmm i swear i saw a bassist play this once in bristol at the fleece. It looked and sounded awesome! Good few years ago though.

    I love it, wish i had the money :)[/quote]

    quite possible, think its been a bristol based instrument, thats where i got it anyhow, i played it at the fleece 3 years ago i think but i doubt its the same gig!

  4. Funnily enough i am currently thinking of selling another bass i have to a friend who apparently keeps having dreams about owning it and at the moment i am trying to make a deal for the bass in return for his cat Janet (very nice cat!) i think he'd go for it if it wasnt for the fact it belongs to his girlfriend!

  5. This is a 1972 Gibson EB3L, the long scale version of the gibson bass made famous by Jack Bruce..

    The body is mahogany and the neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard, the frets are in great condition, neck straight with no issues and no neck breaks or repairs anywhere..
    The bass is in great condition with only one noticable ding on the bottom of the bass...

    This thing play like a demon and sounds amazing, really deep with loads of clarity, i think the slightly further back positioning of the big pickup helps eliminate the muddiness that was often associated with EB basses, the bridge pickpup certainly helps aswell as there are a great range of sounds on offer..

    I had this bass checked out by Vintage and Rare Guitars in Bath recently and they confirmed that the bass was all original except a refinished body, they valued it at £1200

    The pickguard has been signed by Mike Watt (The Stooges, fIREHOSE, minutemen) although the signature can be easily removed if that is not your kind of thing...

    My friends are all saying i am stupid to sell this but i need to thin things out and im going to regret it but...

    Heres some pics anyway..












    SOLD

  6. This is an amazing reliced RS Guitarworks P Bass, Lindy Fran Pickup, made from aged wood with an amazing tone..

    I know relics split people down the middle but this one is good, the neck felt just as comfortable as a '64 precision i was playing in denmark street, it is also than nice in-between profile..

    Just cant afford to keep it, last in first out and all that!

    There is a load of info and pics of this exact bass at the RS Guitarworks website..
    Hopefully this link will work...

    Here are some more pics anyway...










    this bass is incredibly reliable, played it for 3 months on a theatre job, 2 shows a day and didn't have to tune it once!

    any interest? :)
