    [quote name='silddx' post='608037' date='Sep 24 2009, 07:10 PM']TBH I think headless basses are the ultimate in stability and ease of string change. They also look ace. I wish Warwick would make a decent headless based on the Steinberger system. Don't tell me about that hideous Nobby Meidel thing though.[/quote] The very first Warwick Thumb bass was intended to be a headless design... just saying.

    [quote name='mrcrow' post='607953' date='Sep 24 2009, 06:00 PM']for a silly old guy who still rides a horse... what exactly do they do and why are they needed[/quote] Instead of relying on the string wrap keeping the string on the post, they are 'locked' and don't need any wraps around the post. Hence they require no thought/effort re. cutting and wrapping strings around the tuning peg (admittedly hardly a difficult job but made far easier non the less ) and are quicker to change. [quote name='mrcrow' post='607963' date='Sep 24 2009, 06:08 PM']been looking on google do they give enough break angle[/quote] Shouldn't make any difference, in fact on most basses they'd give more as the locking hole would be closer to the headstock face.

    [quote name='owen' post='606283' date='Sep 22 2009, 11:45 PM']I have just spent some quality time with my Bolin NS5 trying different strings. 4 sets. With Sperzel locking machines - no problemo. Old set off, new set on in about 3 mins flat. They are the future.[/quote] I have to confess we may be in a minority here mate but I'm with you on this one.

    [quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='607188' date='Sep 23 2009, 10:24 PM']wow! missed that one! Thanks dood! looks like a mega deal! I owe you![/quote] That'll be me then. I had mine already packed ready for delivery to someone else but the deal fell through, if you are interested drop me a PM. Buy it before the weekend and I'll supply a speaker lead of your choice (Speakon to 1/4" / XLR / Banana Plug / Speakon / whatever) and free UK delivery.

    [quote name='sub-a-dub' post='604578' date='Sep 21 2009, 02:30 PM']Hi, Would you ship this to Ireland? I know it would probably be quite costly, but that would make a nice standby amp at that price... Regards, Sean[/quote] I should add Sean that there are a couple of people interested and to be fair to all I'm going to ask those who actually want the amp in the order that PMs arrived; one before you and one after.

    [quote name='pal1972' post='604718' date='Sep 21 2009, 04:46 PM']would the drivers work in my MAG115 cab??[/quote] That depends who you ask... The 'sonic scientists' will say that specs need to match etc but there is the school of thought that says suck it and see (obviously I am in the latter camp as I am trying to sell ). All sells patter aside the short answer in truth is, that of course they will work and for what the cab is (a budget model full range cab of no specific design), they'll probably work bloody well BUT I would say that why not try my cabs as they are (and designed), you may get a bloody shock as to how good they are for bass just the way they are (I've tried it and it is scary). You can then sell your MAG cab to off-set some of the cost.

    Just checked; 1200w @ 8ohms bridged, 600w stereo @ 4 ohms and NO mention of 2 ohms... wonder where I picked that up!

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='604128' date='Sep 20 2009, 11:21 PM']Does it do bridged to 4 ohm? 1200w in what circumstance?[/quote] I will double check when I have time after work. It does do bridged but I don't know what into till I check but stereo 600w @ 4 ohms (per side). I also believe that it will go to 750w @ 2 ohms but I've never tried it as it has only ever driven our HiSys 2's from new. It is a true 1200w rms amp not some obscure rating or at some silly ohmage.

    [quote name='shaundixon666' post='603696' date='Sep 20 2009, 05:05 PM']a 4U SKB rack case? Very hard wearing, been gigged no cracks or breaks. Black pastic job with clip off front and back. Like the one in the pic but with the older blue logo. Price... £25 a 1U rackmount DOD SR series stereo EQ. Its currently in the above rack but I'll have a look and get some spec for you. Looks like the one below. price ... £25 You guessed it £50 for the pair! all postage to be covered by the buyer. both the case and the EQ are in good working condition and will be a handy addition to someone's rig / PA. [/quote] You have a PM.

    2U power amplifier. Bought new by me 3 years ago and used to drive a pair of PA speakers (not too frequently), racked from new so in very good condition. £140 The speakers are for sale separately @ £130
  13. warwickhunt
    BIG price drop to £130!

    [quote name='pal1972' post='603892' date='Sep 20 2009, 08:10 PM']Just curious, looking at the specs on these things they look to be great, ive just looked at their 2x15 cab, which i really like the look of, but ive never heard a one. Anyone used their cabs? recommend them?? what's their sound like? reliability??[/quote] Do a quick search and you'll find these were discussed at length a year or so ago. The 1x12 cab was featured in a Bassist mag shootout along with Bergantino/Aguilar etc. iirc it did well. 'Quite' similar in spec to the Tech Soundsystem/Tecamp cabs but cheaper!

    [quote name='silentbob' post='603639' date='Sep 20 2009, 03:51 PM']Hi, does anybody know the weight of a standard Squier Jazz Bass? Had a look on the Squier website but no joy.[/quote] If it's any help the 'Classic Vibe' I just had was 9lb 9oz... not sure about the standard.
  16. warwickhunt
    Oh dear... I managed to guess their password and log onto that account in under 5 seconds! If it isn't a hacked account and that is a genuine listing I'll be stunned.

    [quote name='Jim Parris' post='603546' date='Sep 20 2009, 01:20 PM']£140. Good sounding cab, especially for rock if you're not worried about having low end or can add a 15". Bought 2nd hand and was told that this is an early version so has better quality units than Warwick put in these days. Only selling because I need more of a jazz sound and I'm currently looking for a Mark Bass 1X12. Will add a photo real soon.[/quote] You'll maybe have a bit more luck if you put it in the sale section mate.

    [quote name='bassatnight' post='602798' date='Sep 19 2009, 11:25 AM']Well I am very proud to say I have just won Dave Wilson's Black Metro via E-bay..... How am I going to get this one past her indoors!!!!!!!!! Looks like I better start recouping from selling some of my collection![/quote] [quote name='funkyspuke' post='602835' date='Sep 19 2009, 12:09 PM']haha, I was watching that Metro bass as well ... was hoping that it wouldn't sell so that I could try one (which I am tomorrow) and purchase privately from him! ah well[/quote] Ouch... that'll hurt Dave by the time he takes off the fees! Just to counter what a few people have said; that they've bought and subsequently sold their Sado's and that the prices aren't justified etc. I have to say as someone on a quest for a light-weight quality bass, who must have bought and sold a dozen basses this year alone, now that I have it and I've gigged it a bit, I'd not sell my Sado PJ @ [u]ANY[/u] price.

    [quote name='51m0n' post='601442' date='Sep 17 2009, 04:52 PM']Rubber car footwell mat Cheap as chips[/quote] +1 I had my MB heads 'almost' bounce right off my cabs the first time I gigged them but luckily I'd rigged them the same as Alex suggested (lead looped through cab and amp handles) so I managed to avert a floor impact. As it happens they didn't stick around long enough for me to utilise a rubber mat.

    I've owned a brace of Euro's (inc a 5) and played a pair of NS basses and the NS basses were certainly better BUT not twice as good; No! However, you do have to consider that after a certain price point you don't get twice as good or even better, you just get... 'different'

    TBH if you are insisting on sticking with a 4x?? cab then I'd say it'd be too much weight for someone with a knackered back NO MATTER who made the cab or whether it had neo drivers in it (be aware that the weight saving of a neo driver accounts for a very small amount of the total weight of a cab)! I'd say that if you are having to transport equipment by yourself then you'd need to look at a modular rig whereby you are transporting smaller individual weights. Saying that if you always have someone to help you lift in and out of a vehicle then the answer is simply casters. Good luck and I hope the health issues don't get any worse too soon.

    The guy selling this (Dave Wilson) is a great luthier so this will be set-up fantastically well. I've seen this in the flesh but never got the chance to play it.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='594398' date='Sep 9 2009, 11:35 PM']Well today was interesting. As well as on basschat I stuck it this bass up on gumtree (advertised for a higher price) this guy is very interested, rings up and we chat, lots of 'whats your lowest price you can do' chat, so tell him, option with a case option without a case. he drives from an adjacent town to come have a look at it. apparently as it is so damaged with dents on it (you can see them in the pictures) he doesnt want it. Goes away- then starts trying to talk me down via text, 'aw ill do it for £xxx', oh 'all do it for £xxx and throw in a squier' and that. The fact is if he had made me towards his last offer to start with I would have taken it happily! As it is it's just a bit annoying, maybe on gumtree folk barter more but it's just a daft, it has no concept of how much the thing is possibly worth. It seems like some wierd capitalist form of polite bullying. Thing is I am a stubbon obstonant person, and maybe importantly don't actually need the money at the moment. I was chatting to my wee brother and think I may lend it to him. (I tell the guy 'sorry but no, my brother is going to be taking it', he still then ups his bid... scheesh, he wasnt a very good player either!) It all makes me realise how nice and respectful of each other we are on here! The worst ive had with folk here is someone giving me a daft low offer to which I said no. It's nice we respect each other. It's been an honour to be offered a trade on some of the basses I've been offered! Anyway, I bought this bass as warwickhunt had it for sale and i loved the look of it, sold my status shark bass (the one doing the rounds on here), saved up (working on minimum wage at that point) and then pestered him (he had decided to keep it at that point) until he sold it to me. It is an amazing bass, the only reason I have it up for sale is as I found a natural wood one (sept 1991) which I prefer the sound too. The natural one was cheap enough that I don't need the money at the moment, and as such I'm taking ol' bluey down from sale for now. I'll hang on to it untill the time I need the cash, for a car or engagement ring or food or whatever. However, this is basschat, and most of you are good people; so as I did to warwickhunt, feel free to pester me if you want to cross my palm with silver and take ol' bluey out for a ride every night. Cheers Luke[/quote] Such a shame when you have a bad experience over a 'potential' sale Luke but rest assured someone will see the sense in buying Bluey!
