  1. [quote name='tayste_2000' post='284724' date='Sep 16 2008, 07:47 AM']I'm faily certain he traded this through Talkbass and has a fair amount of feedback there. As for not receiving items this is why we buy with paypal[/quote] that's true... Well it sounds like it's gone anyway, so all's well! Andy
  2. [quote name='BassManKev' post='284612' date='Sep 15 2008, 10:53 PM']not the way things work though mate in the buy/sell world, the buyer always pays before getting, and thats true for pretty much everything. you dont go the supermarket and eat the food, then pay. you dont go online to a music site, and get them to send you a bass, n then pay when it arrives, just not the way it goes. i know what you mean on the trust thing though, and i think everyone knows about my ideas to keep basschat classifieds safe [/quote] No? But you go to a restruant and eat the food *then* pay... take a taxi ride, then do a runner... erm, I mean "then pay". I see that he's offering a trade, in which case a mutual trust would mean him sending his before the other was received would it not? My cash would arrive almost the very instant I took ownership, wheras the traded wireless might never arrive. That would be a similar situation to my proposal, with the exception I would be trading the cash. No? You can't use the example of payment made to shops for goods, as they have easily checkable history and a reputation to maintain. Goods bought on forums have no comeback so my trust levels are VERY low for noobs. I mean, I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I would rather loose the purchace than run the risk of throwing £130 down the pan. That was just my way of trying to safeguard myself, ...plus I have the feedback on here to support my suggestion. I realise it was an unusual request I made, but I don't think it was outlandish under the circumstances. Good luck with the sale Nemo I'm sure my worries are misplaced mate.
  3. Does anyone have any dealings with Nemo? As he was a noob at the time, I said I was "interested" but would only pay, full asking price, once I had received the item. (I never have understood why buyers are expected to take all the risks) Anyway I gave a link to my "feedback history" on Bass chat as independant proof of *my* honesty on here. I never got so much as a response... I dunno, maybe I'm cynical, but a newbie in Cz who doesn't even respond... I just don't have the faith. Sorry
  4. Yep I agree I have a Korg at the rehearsal room and it is great. Low B No prob. My Gig-rig has a Peterson Stroborack which I can heartily recommend! I have heard many owners of the Behrry be disappointed.
  5. Be v e r y careful how much you spend on LEDs otherwise you'll have spent more on them than the bass... Maybe a cheaper way to improve it would be to drill lots of holes all the way through the body. With enough holes, it will become *all* holes, and a pile of plastic drill swarfings... Throw those away and keep the holes. (Sorry but I had to bite back after the slight on my beloved Warwick brand.)
  6. [quote name='tayste_2000' post='275218' date='Sep 2 2008, 09:53 AM']I'm after £75 but very open to offers on it, and I can ship at buyers expense. Cheers[/quote] And whereabouts in the UK, would you be for pick-up, if we could agree a price? I'm gonna offer £65 for a cash in the hand exchange... (As long as you're not too far away) That rust doesn't phase me!
  7. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='272423' date='Aug 29 2008, 12:06 PM']I may need to sell a JD Thumb to finance something else so my fingers are crossed this is an upward trend [/quote] A JD Thumb eh? may need to sell you say? hmmmmm ...talk to me baby!

  9. [quote name='synaesthesia' post='272169' date='Aug 29 2008, 12:12 AM']A rail to rail 'depth' of an SKB is 15 inches, and front rail to back lid is about 18 inches. A powersoft D series is about 17 inches. You don't need a torch light on stage and you don't need to shove your head or your arm into the rear the rack case.[/quote] Yeah, there you go. Exactly! ...What I said but put way more eloquently.
  10. well to be honest for £45 I'll take them anyway.... Unless the p&p is astronomical. PM me with a payment method buddy. I can do paypal and split the fee if you want. Or cheque, bank transfer... lemmie know. If they don't fit I'll sell them on, or chuck them in the spares box... Andy
  11. That's true. They (the Powersoft amps) are VERY deep. They *will* fit in a Gator Rack, but they stick out of the back quite a long way into the lid... However, in fairness, the space behind amps is usually a wasted space, so 1U high *is* a bonus, even on a deep amp. You pays your money you takes your choice! Andy [quote name='alexclaber' post='270863' date='Aug 27 2008, 11:26 AM']Bear in mind that a high power 1U amp will tend to be of significant depth whilst a similar 2U amp can be a lot shallower so the total racked volume may be the same. The QSC PLX and PLX2 amps are all around 20lbs or less and hit a great balance of price vs size/weight/features/power. The Crown XTi amps are also well worth looking at as they're even cheaper and lighter and have built in DSP. Alex[/quote]
  12. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='213162' date='Jun 5 2008, 01:04 PM']Are you sure Tony Stage I 4 string is a P/J rig...[/quote] Will these fit a thumb 5? Mine currently has 18v barts, and the sound is less lovely than he 4's with MECs ...Oooh will they run with 18v? or will I need a new pre too? C'mon John... I need your knowledge buddy! If these are compatible with my Thumb I'll take them off yooz! Andy
  13. [quote name='Finbar' post='269246' date='Aug 25 2008, 12:45 AM']Powersoft amps seem quite difficult to get hold of over here. Sennheiser UK supposedly distribute them, but they are useless![/quote] Mine came from Electro Music in Doncaster. I don't think it was a stock item but arrived really quickly. I can heartedly recommend them too. Light, but exceptional quality. Downside: Fairly expensive. (But not *really*, I mean, back in the early 80's, a very general rule of thumb was that amps used to cost about a pound per watt. ie 300watt cost £300 to buy (ish) yet even after 30 years of inflation the powersofts cost WAY less than £1 per watt...) but then they *are* a lot of watts!
  14. I can recommend Steve.. He's a smashing fella. He was good enough to meet me halfway at no extra cost when I bought the Epi 212... We got to gassing about old times and although our paths have never crossed I went away feeling like I'd re-united with an old buddy. Top Bloke... Andy
  15. Finbar: You are more than welcome mate! Nice to help a fellow Sheffielder! Flanker: Thanks dude. Very nice meeting you. I could've stayed and chatted with you all day!
  16. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='264966' date='Aug 18 2008, 09:45 PM']Yes, as far as I'm concerned this bass is sold (to me!) but you'll have to get confirmation from the current owner [/quote] Nope mate, It's all good! (I thought you'd backed out, but after my post I realised I'd got the wrong end of the stick) I'll be waiting in the wings in the unlikely event you change your mind. I've been after a nice Status since... well, ...since i fist saw them. And I have the finances to actually afford one now. My search for the right one will have to continue. (I am a Warwick man for a while longer)
  17. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='264768' date='Aug 18 2008, 05:43 PM']Yes, mate! Everything except for the missus... Norfolk bird, anyone? [/quote] I'm just wondering, does that mean this is *NOT* a done deal? If this is not sold (of course I don't want to tread on any toes) I will DEFINITELY take it. It looks like the very thing I've been looking for. PM Sent with my contact details... EDIT: Sorry I misunderstood the message. (I thought you were saying the Missus wasn't letting you buy it... Doh) I am interested in this bass in the extreme, but if I now have it right, it's sold... <Sigh>
  18. oooof This is a HELLUVA bass! I'm LOVING the looks of that. I'm in Sheff, and you're less than an hour away in Manc.... If this doesn't shift real soon, I'm gonna pop over and take it. Seriously. I'm looking for a second 5'r at the mo and this looks to fit the bill..

  22. [quote name='terry k' post='233611' date='Jul 6 2008, 03:10 PM']this is a 2x12 passive monitor with horn made by turbosound.these are fantastic sounding wedges and retail at approx £1000 !!! its in very good condition, obviously it has a few marks but its been looked after and everything is original.its passive so has to be driven by a separate power amp but once you,ve used one of these you,ll understand why they cost so much! looking for around £400 and pick up would be preferred but i could find out shipping costs if anyone is interesed pm me with any questions Terry[/quote] Hmmm Where are you based? ...and are you open to offers? Andy
