  1. I bought it used maybe 2 years ago from a BWer but no idea of it's history before that. It is UK made. In the pic there's it's serial number - maybe you could date it from that. Condition wise it's tip top - as I say prob because of the cover.
  2. That's both the amps gone so I'll ammend the title. Roll up , roll up etc for the cab
  3. The GK1001RB has gone The 400RB might have The mini 48 is still here. As you may have seen in 'off topic' I'm looking after a stray cat - so buy now or the pussy gets it !!!
  4. It costs £13.50 return from Piccadilly (plus 20p if you're unfortunate enough to need the toilet there) to Wakefield kirkgate which is 2 mins walk from chez moi. or About 40 miles and bits over the M62 - depends then if you're in a Micra or a Jag or 10.99 via senditnow dot com or bugger all if you could pick it up from Man airport train station in a couple of weeks from Mrs Doc who'll be a bit grumpy about carrying it and has a plane to catch!
  5. Up for sale GK400RB Mk3 head. My gigging amp until a few months ago when I bought a Mk4. Has an occassional low volume crackle - probably a mucky pot - but works 100%. Some marks on the front but spent it's time rack mounted. I had it tested a couple of years ago and still have the cert. £150 to you ,chief, because of the crackle.*******SOLD********* Ashdown ABM mini 48 cab. No issues so £160. Actually one of the plastic jack speaker inputs at the back is missing the plastic nut so £155. But it has a nice Ashdown cover that's kept it in good nick so back up to £160!!!!***********SOLD*********** Basically the top half of my gigging rig til recently - and here it is. The rack,tuner and 15" cab are very much still part of my rig so just ignore them. This kit has 'talent circuits' installed and does make you play better , as well as making you more attractive to the opposite sex - and that's true , that is. My mate knows a bloke that told him. I also have a GK1001RB Mk3. Looks immaculate but doesn't work. Don't ask me it just packed in while I was setting up one night. I took it to the local shop and asked them to have it fixed , from what I can gather the guy they use couldn't be arsed to find whatever bits he needed and I've lost interest in trying to find someone local who can be arsed. In other words - I can't be arsed either. So - spares or repair - £75*******SOLD**************** Trades....well... I want a smallish decent quality combo. Mainly for practise but for the odd lounge gig too. Maybe a Hartke A70/100 - a trace BLX130 or anything from the older series 6 range. Whatever - tell me what you've got.
  6. 1978 Ovation Legend bowl back - tobacco - tatty Ovation case. That the sort of guitar you're looking for as part of a deal? I've also an Ashdown mini 48 and a GK 400RB with a scratchy pot I'd let go
  7. There's another point. I think it's wise to start out on a tried and tested instrument that's simple to use , has a classic sound , and is the choice of pro players worldwide in every style of music you can imagine to this day. Then , as experience begins to develop , players may feel the need to refine their choice of instrument in terms of sound,facilities etc to better suit their style or the music they play. At that point - some will find the P still can't be bettered , others will wonder how they ever got by with such a one trick pony. As with much in life - if you want to bend or break the rules you can , by definition , only do that if you know them first.
  8. [quote name='Jono' post='70751' date='Oct 7 2007, 07:45 PM']Just been watching the Show of hands DVD[/quote] I'm on that one!! God knows how many times I've frozen the frame trying to see myself! I prefered that set to the current one. Power windows and obviously hold your fire were more prominent at the time. Rush have never wished to appear stagnating though and it's good they push their curent material as much as they do - however much some of us would prefer our fave older stuff
  9. I do like that insurance line. Maybe I could adapt it to 'we can't play (whatever pile of crap they request) cos we have to submit a list of our set to the PRS in advance'. At the mo the best I can manage is to reply over the mic to a cry of 'Play something we know' with a sarcy 'know something we play'. We were begged for sweet home alabama the other week - and the dude got the beers in - so we did a reggae version!!
  10. I've a lovely daphne blue jap vintage strat , once a flood I play 2nd guitar in my mate's band when I'm asked. I've done a fair bit of home recording with it , I'm not brilliant - I tend to riff rather than solo and if there are any solo's I leave holes so I can drop myself in and out!! I've also an old 1978 Ovation bowl back acoustic which I strum around the house. I know enough chords to back myself in simple songs but guitar never really captured me like bass did. I should practise more but my nails overgrow and I can't form the chords well , I go searching for the nail clippers and come back with a bass !!
  11. here it is then [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ-XNDEuYCs&mode=related&search="]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ-XNDEuYCs...ted&search=[/url]
  12. From block 105 and considering the place is a shed I thought Geddy sounded pretty good , nice to see the Rick come out but the fretless was the best sounding of the lot - and , yes , somebody should have pulled the fader for the bass pedals. Don't know about Alex looking grumpy , maybe slightly peeved but so would you be if you were morphing into Peter Schmeicel !!! What did we think of 'Lil' Rush' doing Tom Sawyer , I thought it was well funny!!
  13. That most useful of hombres - ex Bassworlder bt68 aka Thumper - reckoned that taking less wrap around the B string M/C tightened things up a bit and gave the string a bit more clout. I treid it , subtle change but got to be worth a go
  14. How come your Grandad's not a member in these parts? He's some quality kit to tell us about and I'll bet he's a wealth of stories to recount based on his experiences. Go bully him into signing up.
  15. Honestly , if you don't need the cash - keep the hartke.
  16. You should have asked me - I'm crap!!! Crete's great - big too. You enjoy your hol and forget about it. Either he left your band or they chucked him out , it follows there's some sort of prob so he's hardly likely to be invited to , or want to , come back full time. Happy anniversary to you and your lady too.
  17. Great amps , these. I'd buy it if I wasn't sorted and so should you. If anyone is put off by the fact that the screws holding the corners on are odd - don't be. I had my rack mounted 3500 stolen and consequently all the corners , screws,handle etc are packed away in a box that I still have. If you buy this amp and you want them , PM me. No charge but you can get me a pint sometime.
  18. If you're going down the used route you could buy a 8ohm 2x10 cab and replace the drivers with 2 8ohm 10s then ebay the discarded ones. Work out a lot cheaper than a high end 4ohm cab.
  19. The message was there but I wasn't looking !!! Sold to Mr Lowdown , it seems. Me selling a Badass - like Wayne Rooney selling his boots!!!
  20. Just broke off from playing around with my new POD to say 'ta' to Shockwave for selling it to me and ensuring it arrived in A1 condition. Quick too , esp considering it was the Bank Hol.
  21. I'm after buying some individual goldo saddles , they'll cost £33.73 delivered so whoever wants to give me that for my badass can have it. It's a black 4-string badass 2. Saddles have never been filed though you can see where the strings have seated on them. Not had much use in the year or so I've had it so is in top nick.
  22. There's a version of 'Something Else' by Slade , recorded live at the Reading fest , done as a medley with 'pistol packing mama' which turns into a bass solo starting with 'purple haze'. !! It came out as the 'Slade alive at Reading EP' and it's on various CD compilatons these days.

    [quote name='EdwardHimself' post='50956' date='Aug 26 2007, 04:49 PM'] you've shaved your beard off!!![/quote] You're not wrong - happens a lot these days because the false , glued-on trib band beard won't stick over my goatee. You get the 'tache' along with the beards but we keep our own - day after I shave the tache down too and grow the lot back at the same rate. Must have been about 2 days after a gig looking at that pic. Anyway - you want a beard...here you go !!! £50 they are , from a Dutch bloke. Apologies for shameless 'gunslinger' pose. It's in chapter 4 of 'how to pose like a proper rock star' !!!
  24. [quote name='ARGH' post='50948' date='Aug 26 2007, 03:53 PM']Rotten? Isnt that Burl?[/quote] The man himself titled it 'rotten' maple , as it was a bit of maple that had gone..er.. rotten! Who am I to say any different.
