[quote name='Rumble' post='553973' date='Jul 28 2009, 02:21 PM']Do you know what, I've actually been giving this some serious thought over recent weeks. Do you reckon your average 4 string jazz would cope OK dropping the tuning down one?[/quote] I've dropped the E down to D on my Warwicks for the last 20 years. I tried one of the de-tuners when they first came out but found it easier and more reliable to just give the tuner a twist and tune by ear. One string being dropped by a tone doesn't upset the neck on my Sadowsky or Lakland either.

Cracking little set-up for not a lot of money; that would be great for anyone stepping up from their first combo/practice amp. I'd be very surprised if someone doesn't snap this up very soon!

I'll take the Soundcraft and Tascam please mate.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='553244' date='Jul 27 2009, 09:37 PM']You sound like you're 'all at sea' with basses John. You want a light 4 stringed bass, are you set on a Jazz of some sort? What is it you like in terms of tone? Maybe you need to set up a poll My advice would be to try as many as possible without looking at the name on the headstock and you might be surprised.[/quote] I'm having another of my annual clear-outs! Ultimately there isn't much point in me holding on to any bass that exceeds about 9lb in weight as I have discovered (through much painful research) that the figure quoted is the magic figure for inducing grief. So as it stands I have 3 Warwicks, 1 Lakland, 1 Variax and a Yamaha that need new homes but I'm not about to give things away in desperation. Oddly enough I'm only offering to take something in part-ex as I like just trying basses out. I own a couple of basses that fulfill ALL of my requirements (Bolin - fingerstyle/finesse & Sadowsky Metro PJ - that rock/slap/thump thang) but I quite enjoy looking to see if there is anything better and I'm not fussed as to the label but it DOES matter what it weighs. Polls are good fun but as you rightly point out I need to just pick things up and try them added to which some people have strange ideas about what constitutes light and how to weigh a bass!

Withdrawn while I take stock of what I'm doing with this bass!

[quote name='Kev' post='552828' date='Jul 27 2009, 04:31 PM']ah, same make as my first amp had the 35w and 100w of these, lovely little amps. Have a bump[/quote] Cheers Kev. I thought £45 was cheap enough for a full size, combo with Eminence driver and reasonable features!

[quote name='trbplayer' post='552685' date='Jul 27 2009, 02:50 PM']Bass is in Paris but i can bring it to London for series buyers[/quote] I'm a [u]series[/u] buyer... can't leave the bloody things alone, keep buying one, then another, then another, ad infinitum. Unfortunately your lovely bass is 'blue' and I don't do blue, so I can not be considered a [u]serious[/u] buyer! Good luck though.

[quote name='Mike' post='552069' date='Jul 26 2009, 09:09 PM']Never received a reply to my PM...................?[/quote] Could have sworn I sent one but checking my 'sent items' I mustn't have! I'll remedy that shortly.

Still available!

[quote name='FuNkShUi' post='550437' date='Jul 24 2009, 05:35 PM']PM'd (edit) and email sent[/quote] Fingers crossed... but still available.

I've used this as a little practice combo and it has been used for little 'show' gigs at the school where I work. It has never been thrashed or used at anything above 50% volume. It 'won't' be ideal for a gigging bassist who is playing with a loud drummer but it will happily gig with amplified electro-acoustics etc. It has a DI out, headphones socket, compressor, 6 band EQ etc. One of the knobs that controls the compressor has dropped off (insert witty comment below ), but the shaft (insert...) is still there and it works fine. Not wanting a lot for it... £50 collected. I'd rather not courier it as it is easy to flightcase/pack a bass but combos/amps etc are more prone to damage! SOLD pending payment; to the owner of my local pub for the jam nights!

This might help. If you want the rest of the images up just give me a shout!
