It is what it says on the tin... and was quickly shelved by Fender. However the seller is renowned for being either economical or extravagant with the truth so take the mention of CS with a pinch of salt. For evidence of what I mean check out the 'Musicman' he has for sale!

[quote name='lamibosh' post='1116582' date='Feb 5 2011, 02:41 PM']So, do I move my auction or not ? I think the best way, if it's ok, is to stay like this. I can't give a price because I'd like to finish the auction. Sorry for my poor english[/quote] It is not your problem, you are just doing what seems correct. The owner/Moderators have not made it clear what is the appropriate action!

12hrs to go and it's sitting at £440... someone is going to be disappointed to receive an OLP copy!

Yes, no problem. Take a few minutes to read through these... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=135"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=135[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3730"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3730[/url]

Quick answer is No (and also yes, if you want to start messing with dummy loads ) but tbh the gain of a single 4ohm 12" over a single 8ohm 12" is negligible. You only really start to get the benefit when you double up the GS/DB1x12 cabs. I'm sure someone will come along with the maths of how much you will gain from a 4ohm load and then someone else will point out that you can't really 'hear' the difference between the two but you will find that this has been covered before and the outcome is that it isn't worth the hassle or cost (in the case of replacing the driver). Just saved you loads of hassle!

No disrespect to this guy who joined yesterday (especially as one of our own may be after what he is selling and it may strengthen the case for allowing newbies to post on eBay section) but can someone clarify what is actually going on! New members are joining and posting links to eBay auctions in the for sale section, these are then subsequently getting moved by Mods to the eBay section... I thought that it had been discussed/decided earlier that 'eBay Links' WASN'T for personal sales and if it is then it wasn't available to newbies! Colour me confused.

[quote name='Gust0o' post='1116029' date='Feb 4 2011, 11:36 PM']Or you could bang it up in the Ebay links forum?[/quote] Oddly enough there was clarification from the Mods that the eBay section is NOT for that purpose! Don't shoot the messenger I'm simply relaying what I've read.

Yep, to advertise it for sale you need a price for someone to buy.

re. the neck - If you are talking about a maple board and you want it back to matt then it will require a de/refret and is best done by a luthier/builder. Back of the neck is a different matter and that's an elbow grease done at home job.

Odd though it may seem for a large off road vehicle, my Nissan X-Trail has no greater load carrying capacity than my old Focus Estate or my wife's Pug 307 Est. So I would imagine that you'd need a really long wheel base 4x4 to accomplish fitting a DB in the back without it poking through between seats (sorry I have no DB to test that but I've a fair idea that it couldn't fit in my X-Trail). I wouldn't dismiss the Subaru Forester as an Est car with 4x4 capabilities; I had one and it is a very able off/soft-roader with the added benefit of Hi/Lo ratio box... though again you'd not fit the DB without it poking between the front seats!

I have to confess that though he may not appear the most technical or chop-driven bassist; if I had to, I'd sooner spend an extended period listening to MM (Mike Mills) than the other MM... or many of the other 'clever' bassists!

[quote name='JimD' post='1113997' date='Feb 3 2011, 03:30 PM']... but otherwise it's quite nice.[/quote] Aside from the fact that the neck isn't screwed flat/full into the neck pocket! I'd be concerned by picture #8.

[quote name='bassbloke' post='1112967' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:39 PM']I'm not surprised he was fiddling with his bass - it was sooooo out of tune!!![/quote] Was he? I must be going a bit mutton Jeff as I thought it sounded fine!

[quote name='wizbat' post='1112960' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:32 PM']Hasn't anyone noticed that there aren't any strings on the the lead guitar?[/quote] LOL I thought that but wasn't that fussed to go back and check each time he came up! [quote name='bobbass4k' post='1112965' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:37 PM']Err....why would he be tuning if they were miming?[/quote] See above. [quote name='bobbass4k' post='1112965' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:37 PM']Sounds live anyway, and it looks like he's fretting to let the note ring while he tunes. He was probably having problems, it does happen, bad string, dodgy bridge saddle, the string could have been slipping out of tune, happens to the best of us.[/quote] As WoT says it was probably recorded live earlier in the day/whenever and they were playing along to a backing track. However, if it were genuinely meant to be live you could not have had JT fretting a note whilst taking his plucking hand to tune whilst at the same time hearing a continued pulsing of notes (unless as I suggested earlier he was hammering on which you can't see him doing and there is usually a difference in tone when this happens). Not that any of it matters because JT was doing it for whatever reason he felt appropriate. Maybe it was his subliminal way of saying 'I realise the guitarist has no strings so is indicating his contempt for the prerecorded format and this is my way of thumbing my nose at the fact we aren't playing live'... just my thoughts.

Pretty tricky to keep playing 1/16ths whilst reaching over to tune... and not dropping a beat! It could be done if his right hand continued to hammer the notes but that doesn't look/sound to be the case. Saying that, there's nowt worse than thinking you are out of tune with the rest of the band and you are mid song.

[quote name='Jerry_B' post='1112365' date='Feb 2 2011, 01:35 PM']I really like Pyramid Flats in terms of feel and tone, but they're not very sturdy. Odd really, seeing as they cost quite a bit for set...[/quote] Yes, I liked the set I got new off a fellow BCer but when I transferred them to another bass they started to fall apart (especially the G string) and died when I transferred them back (snapped G string)! Always been happy in the past with Sunbeams but then again I got my last box of them direct from the States and I'm now a bit dubious of reordering.
