Anyhow, if I wasn’t “nominated” to keep the bass at my house then I wouldn’t agree to it being kept at anyone else’s [/quote] Winning? no... the successful applicant would simply be the curator of the communally owned bass. Their extensive responsibility/duties would involve regular waxing and the strings would need to be kept fully articulated on a weekly basis. The charge to the owners for this service could run at £10 per week for 99 weeks after which time the charge would be equal to the value of the bass. Payments could be offset against the value of the bass. and non payment would result in the bass being kept in leiu of payment. (Edited because I missed the intended humour in the post.)

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='378419' date='Jan 12 2009, 11:00 PM']I think you've just defined what a lottery is?[/quote] no. there would be 100 owners. They all just agree that one person keeps it at their house ...indefinitely. How is that a lottery?

So while a lottery might be considered illegal, would there be any legal issues if say, 100 people decided to club together to buy a bass, and the person who got to keep it at their house was randomly drawn from a hat.

[quote name='walplayer' post='375467' date='Jan 9 2009, 05:58 PM']Only bought this at the beginning of the week from Doctorbass here- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29683&hl=aguilar"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=aguilar[/url] i was looking to use it for recording only but it's more of a gigging pre-amp imho...It is brilliant though and all the functions are very useable.The treble control sounds like it maybe needs a clean otherwise totally as described in Doctor B's thread.If i was gigging i'd definitely be using one of these! i've had good fun trying it and a/b ing it with another piece i have so i'll cut my losses on the fuel i used goin to pick it up so same price £600 or £620 with the rack case.no offers ,is a BARGAIN!!! Not really looking for trades.Wouldn't really want to ship it.I'm in the n.west uk/n.e. wales area Pete[/quote] too clean for your taste? and what the heck is the other piece you AB'd with...?

hah that foiled me. I only procratinated cos I'm really looking for another 5 or 6 string at the moment. Otherwise I would've made an offer immediately on this. They don't come around 2 often. My last one was new old stock and cost nearly £900. ...but is worth every penny IMHO. Good luck with the rest of the sales dude.

I already own 2 DB680's ...and I'm such a fan I'm even considering buying this as a spare for my spare. (no jesting, I could not be without this pre-amp now)

Well, I have to say that I tried this bass, and it was absolutely TREMENDOUS!!! The sound was second to none. I tried it alongside the Dolphin, and the sounds are definitely different. About as different as two Warwick basses could be actually. The Dolphin was in my mind a little reminiscent of a "P" in as much as it has that distinctive sound you *feel* rather than hear. ...But this bass was harder to liken to the sound of any other bass, it was more like an angry Rotwieler that had been pumped up on steroids, then poked continuously for an hour with sticks. It growled like no bass I've ever heard before. And I own a few basses all of which are supposed to be growly (and indeed they are) but they are nothing compared to this bass. ...And to that end I ask you Waldo, what sort of cash price are you looking at? (If you can be tempted to sell outright) I don't care for the shape of the Corvette, but the sound of this one, alone makes using it worthwhile. Plus, as they go, this is such a great example. The photo is good but the wood is so striking in the flesh (as it were). I dunno if I should be helping to sell this bass, since I may be interested myself in the New Year (once I get paid again) ....so I'm gonna be quiet now.

This is a controller for most audio software like Cubase, Sonar, Logic etc with a motorised fader that whips up and down as you change the selected track (see the [url="http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductID=2"]Presonus site[/url] for more info). Excellent condition, [b]£75 posted.[/b][/quote] I don't suppose you know if it's "pro tools" compatible do you? I may well take this off your hands, if so.

It's a BO right?

oooof If I hadn't already bought 2 x schroeder 1515L's and a Distressor this month I'd be all over that! It's the exact bass I'm looking for.
