Ah! '2-gnome-attic'... say no more.

THE worst (bass related) feeling in the world
warwickhunt replied to warwickhunt's topic in General Discussion
Some of you are making me feel better and look good! -
I normally carry all my own gear to gigs in my car but we were doing a big charity bash last night and we had a van. Collected at 5.30 and we had to rearrange some of the gear already in the van to get in the PA equipment stored at mine. All packed off we go to the gig where we arrive to find loads of people milling about inc' three bands (we all know each other) helping each other carry in various equipment... excellent camaraderie! As the PA belongs to me I end up setting most of it up myself before I turn to set my gear up; where's my bass? AAAARGH! 'Where the cufk is my BASS' Much searching turns up nothing; 13 guitar cases double checked to see if one is mine, van searched... panic ensues (on my part) and I'm frantically phoning home to ask if my bass is sitting on the drive, not there. My bass is nowhere to be found, utter devastation on my part and much self chastisement for being so cuffin lax and letting other people take charge of my gear (which I NEVER usually do). Then... phone call from the Mrs, it's in the garage down beside some shelving, someone obviously moved my bass to one side when we were loading the lights and PA. It's unlikely that you can know how bad that feels unless it's happened to you before! Any similar experiences?

1U 19" Rack Trays
warwickhunt posted a topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Black metal (no not satanic rock) 19" wide rack trays (365mm deep) 1U high with a pair of rackmount holes on each side. I have 3 available, they are probably £15 a piece new but to save haggling I'll take £15 for the 3 or £7 each +Postage. These are predrilled with 4 small holes to accept receivers but easily drilled to accept a variety of non-standard rackmount equipment; I had a 4th one that I drilled to accept the amp section from a combo in order that I could put it in a rackcase, worked a treat. -
MM's signature set (45 - 105), brand new in packaging, never fitted to a bass (no shrinkwrap outer cover though). Bought these on the spur of the moment as I didn't have any of my usual DR Sunbeams but I then realised that they were steels NOT nickels and I don't like the feel of steels! £20 (decent saving on shop price £30) or will swap for a similarly new/unused set of flats or Sunbeams. Sold and gone!

I've shipped cabs with Interparcel but I'd double check on the maximum weight (normally around £15 if you don't need extra insurance). I recall shipping a Tecamp Neo 6x10 and it was about £40 due to the extra insurance.

[quote name='Bigwan' post='966457' date='Sep 24 2010, 10:17 AM']Why not go the whole hog and have a precision modded to be a Jazz (Like Wille Weeks'/Clarky's Alleva)? Jazz bass sound with precision ergonomics. Problem solved. It's a step better than the PJ idea for me - PJ doesn't do the 'role-off-1-pickup-slightly' sound due to the mismatch in the pickup types.[/quote] I've owned a couple PJ Precision basses and I think my next modded bass may well be a JJ Precision bass... in fact the skeleton bass is on its way to me as we speak. Just need to find a Bartolini PJ set (I need the PJ to compliment the Bart PJ set I already have as the pair of P pups are going into a Warwick).

P/J or P/P

[quote name='dood' post='965952' date='Sep 23 2010, 06:48 PM']Hey ya mate! Thanks so much for posting a pic, It looks like this tray will be too deep for me specifically at 365mm. I can go to 300mm max - but I guess someone with a full depth rack case will be fine with. Again, cheers, I appreciate it - but I think Bottle's tray will be right for my gear.[/quote] No worries... time to stick them up for sale any way!

I had an Ex-Factor when they were fairly new basses and IIRC I specifically bought heavy gauge strings and that I ensured that the strings didn't have a stepped taper that started just after the nut... the Ex-Factor has a shorter scale on the A/D/G strings and is it standard or slightly longer on the E? You've got me thinking now!

Dust comes free!

Standard rackmount width, 1U high, 2 rackmount holes each side 365mm deep. It has a small lip at the front and at the rear of the base (manufactured like that) and has had 4 small holes drilled into it to hold a pair of receivers.

Simple observation on my part re. your mate putting the bass on eBay. If it sells with only the opening bid of £700, your mate will nett £700 minus fees (ebay final value + potential paypal fees), which equates to about £635... are you sure that's what he wants? If so it might be worth offering it on here for a bit less. In fact even if he gets his BIN price, he'll still get about £830! Just an observation and fyi no I'm not trying to knock the price down in order to buy it; it's far too new for me.

I've been impressed with the Hartke amps that I've tried but the cabs were a bit underwhelming when I tried them many moons ago... accidently put the top end of a bi-amp signal through the 1x15 and the bottom end through the 4x10 and that improved the sound!
-
£5 + postage and I'll get a pic if it is of any interest... though I would imagine a free tray is obviously top contender at the moment.

Just saw this, died and went to heaven :)

Really like that... other than the miserable mouth! -
[quote name='kentishbass' post='964752' date='Sep 22 2010, 06:24 PM']Am I not supposed to advertise sales on this forum? Don't want to step on any toes; is there a forum I can advertise on?[/quote] I think it was intended to inform that there is an actual 'sale' section of the forum, which you use instead of this part of the forum which is just about basses in general.
