I'll get some pictures done up, don't have any with me at work. Some details Rosewood Fretboard, bolt on next, medium scale I believe (I'm pretty sure its 32", you can get normal and medium scale in this range and it's definitely smaller than my G&L, though I never noticed when i was my only bass for two years, I'll measure tonight). It's a very attractive red burst, It looks like [url="http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.musiccorner.co.uk/images/igb_40.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.musiccorner.co.uk/index.php%3Fmanufacturers_id%3D202&usg=__CFFJbhuFm4zNfmn4qZ8gXEcmyc4=&h=544&w=160&sz=24&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=56tnp3RYX4eq0M:&tbnh=133&tbnw=39&prev=/images%3Fq%3Daria%2Bigb%2B65%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN"]This[/url] (Aria IGB40 ) Only it has more knobs (I believe that’s what makes it a 65), basically active, with low mid and high, balance pot between the two pickups (duncan design PJ) and volume knob. It used to have really nice action (I like it low), until I put TI flats on, which I think have a bit less tension, so it either needs tighter strings or the action tweaking. It's a small body and very light -
y'know I never did reply to this. If someone came to pick it up (Kings Cross), what £80 or exchange for a pedal or something?

its an igb 65, I have one, it's exactly the same

So, can you hear yourself above the drums and guitar or what? Seriously though, that is super sweet

[quote name='lateralus462' post='399833' date='Feb 4 2009, 11:56 AM']Surely you could hire just a cab from the rehearshal room and just take the head from your walkabout along - should be a bit cheaper. That way you can keep your combo at home and it shouldn't be as expensive as hiring a whole amp and also you don't have to buy any new gear. Actually I just checked the Joint's hire prices and you can hire an Ampeg 8 x 10 for 1 pound an hour!! that seems super reasonable to me. [url="http://www.thejoint.org.uk/equipment_pa_hire.asp"]http://www.thejoint.org.uk/equipment_pa_hire.asp[/url] (I assume this is the place you're using?)[/quote] This is a very fair point, I porbably should have checked the cost of just a cab. Y'know, basschat advice amounting to keep your money in your pocket - what are the chances? He's me plan Plan A - Lug the amp down first time, see if I can move my arms afterwards. Plan B - Lug the Head down, rent a cab, the biggest one I can get for a pound. Plan C - Look into the Di/preamp thing with the suggestions above.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='399823' date='Feb 4 2009, 11:46 AM']Yes, absolutely, no additional equipment required. The only heads that cannot run without a speaker load are those with valve power sections (i.e. damn big and heavy heads) or with output transformers on s/s power sections (solely the Jonas Hellborg sig models). Plug bass in as usual, adjust EQ and gains/master as usual but then just connect the DI or line out to the PA system. Sorted! Alex[/quote] SOLD!

"I recommend the VT Bass pedal, sounds great through a PA. Or find a cheaper studio - which one are you using" The Joint, don't get me wrong its ace, really, realy good and worth every penny, but, it's not cheap. 10 mintues walk from my house (if that) and the rooms arn't covered in crud and everything works. The toilets even have showers I'm told. n.b. It's already really hard to book rooms there, so please everyone ignore I said that. "Why not take the head out of the Walkabout and then use that as a preamp into the PA?" Ah - now can I do this? Can I run it without a speaker load? the di level is linked to the volume knob, so It's not possible to have everything going out to di only. Also, thanks for the advice everyone, I'm going to check out everything mentioned.

STUNNING WARWICK CHROME CT STREAMER 4 STRING FOR SALE
odub replied to THOM's topic in Basses For Sale
Holy Cow! I loves me some shiny things, erm, no idea what it's worth though, but I wants it, precious. -
I can make my ASAT do this on the low notes, normally when I've raised the pickup height, the heavier strings sound to be overpowering and causing distortion. reducing the master volume take it back below hat clipping

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='396727' date='Feb 1 2009, 12:32 PM']Ah yeah, I suppose that’s a different situation than what I had in mind – a 10 minute stroll through leafy suburbia is a world away from Kings Cross at pretty much any time of the day Can you store your rig at the practise rooms? If you normally go through the PA for gigs then I’d guess that the EBS microbass would be a great solution for a versatile pre amp in a pedal form. I can't offer much advice on these though, but I've heard they're great.[/quote] You can store amps therre, but then I don't have an amp at home and I'm paying to store it there, so I might as well just pay to use one of theirs. Maybe I just man up and carry the thing, or buy some wheels for it.

Its a fair point, and I should say becuase I live at Kings Cross I don't have a car, so bringing the mesa would involve lugging it and a bass through 1000's of people. it is doable. Part 2 of this would be to rely on the same setup for gigs. I always jsut use whatevers there anyway, the pa seemed a better option for consistancy.

Right here's my dilemma; we’ve just found some new practice rooms which are brilliant. But the policy is you have to pay fextra for amps, stating off with really rubbish things, moving all the way through to Orange stacks. Since the rooms are already a bit pricey and given that each is equipped with a massive PA I’ve decided to forgo paying for an amp and instead go straight in to the PA. My question is, do I get something like the ebs microbass, an alternative preamp (maybe bass buddy?), an effects pedal like the pod live, or should I just cart my mesa boogie down (I live about 10 minutes walk away). Finally, do I just plug my active bass into the desk or use a bog standard d.i. box? This is a new band and whilst I don’t currently use any effects, it might be nice to have some, like a sub octave/synth/distortion type thing. In general though, I don’t bother with them, Also, I don’t like to compromise on quality, I have enough trouble sounding good as it is, so it’d be something I’d not really want to upgrade or swap.

That is very nice indeed, Remains classy but different enough from the norm to stand out

I can certainly vouch for the quality and attention to detail of Prosebasses work. Value for money in bucket loads, innovation, unique and a great guy to deal with.

My girlfriend studied Piano and various wind instruments to a very high level, all the grades done I think. She can play owlt site reading first time even having not sat down at a piano in months. But she’s refuses to improvise in the slightest.

If anything you'd have thought it would have put the price down.

[quote name='Clarky' post='344785' date='Dec 3 2008, 09:20 PM']The dollar/sterling xc rate has gone from 2.00 to 1.50 in a couple of months so, all else equal, US-sourced instrument prices (be they Fenders, Laklands whatever) will be rising by a third Edit: the Euro/sterling has alse gone the wrong way (nothing like as much, more like 7-8% in recent months so don't be surprised if there are price rises on Euro-sourced stuff, like Markbass gear etc) Time for the "support Shuker" thread again![/quote] Yep as above, Buy british
