    Sorry mate, not really my thing to be honest.
  2. WHUFC BASS
    Really nice, one of the nicest on a 5-string that I've tried as it goes. Very comfortable indeed.

    I'm selling my Spector 5 String Custom Legend in slate grey. specs are: Basswood body with figured maple top Spector NS curved body shape Thru-neck construction 3-piece maple neck 34" scale Rosewood fingerboard 24 frets Black hardware EMG-HZ passive humbuckers Two volume controls EMG 3-band active tone controls Appearance is very similar to this.. Same as the one on the extreme left. Very good condition, it has a slight problem with the jack plug in the there appears to be a loose connection. Sounds fine but appeasrs slightly loose when jack plug is plugged in. I'm looking for £225

    Any news on these basses yet ?

    [url="http://probass.co.uk/Home.html"]http://probass.co.uk/Home.html[/url] I must admit some of them look top drawer. I"m a bit confused about the set neck construction on some of them though

    Its LTD so not really ESP - the real ESPs are made in Japan. This is probably no different to any mid-spec Korean / far-eastern bass

    [quote name='Clarky' post='835867' date='May 13 2010, 08:14 AM']Thanks chaps. I was thinking of experimenting with some TI Flats but the neck is not set up for these (and the truss rod adjustment tool I ordered on eBay has not yet arrived) - plus I wasn't sure flats would suit this bass. As Shaggy said, its quite dark sounding so I assume (perhaps incorrectly) rounds would be better.[/quote] You'd be right too. I had a Thunderbird and the only strings that worked for me on it was DR-Hi Beams. Its a dark sounding bass what with the all mahogany construction so the brighter the string the better IMO.

    [quote name='lateralus462' post='829153' date='May 5 2010, 11:30 PM']Ideally something les paulish but I'm fairly open to suggestions![/quote] What about something like this... I have a Washbirn Idol similar to this but its a solid black coloured body and the maple neck has got ebony inlays.

    What sort of guitar are you looking for ?

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='826486' date='May 3 2010, 02:24 PM']I am being had a go at by a local promoter for raising money for H4H apparently it makes a nazi, who knew?[/quote] Ha ha! I know who you mean. We did a few gigs for H4H and he's tried to get a few of our gigs in Kent pulled too because apparently we're Nazis too. The bloke is a f***ing melt. He's pissed off a lot of people by doing this.

    Sounds great. Crap shape.

    Bump - £325. Need to offload this ! This is a serious bargain - it may not be mint but for the money you're getting: Nordstrand pickups Audere pre-amp Schaller Strap pins A superbly crafted made in Japan bass.
  14. WHUFC BASS
    Another bass of course! Being fit is overrated !!

    This bloke right here.....Geezer Butler.

    Bump for a soundclip. Funky stuff really isn't my thing but here goes. If anyone wants any metal / punk type clips I'd be happy to oblige.
  17. WHUFC BASS
    Just to confirm - this bass has Wizard Thumper pickups installed ? Will you post? If yes to both, I'll have it.
  18. WHUFC BASS
    Price drop to £350 - I must be mad. Would rather trade for a decent 4 string though. Would really prefer local collection on this one rather than postage.

    I've got 4 basses at the moment, two Trabens a Spector and this Yamaha. This gets the least amount of use since I got the Trabens. As we're doing some recordings in May we need a decent 4 string so I'm offering this Yamaha in part ex (cash either way) for a decent 4 string. Not interested in Fenders, I'm mainly after a Musicman Sub, a Traben Chaos 4-string, a decent Spector or a G&L. The Yamaha is in players condition. I bought this off a session musician who'd made some adjustments to it. Its got some issues which I'll outline here: 1) Some arse of a luthier drilled a hole for a new jack plug in the wrong place so there's a hole (see photos). 2) There's a few screw holes in the body where a thumb rest was fitted. 3) There's what looks like some glue marks on the pickups 4) There's a number of wear marks on the body - around the control knobs and round the heel of the body. 5) There's a small pick-guard that was attached by the previous owner as it helped with slapping according to him. I don't really use it for slap so couldn't tell you if it does or not! Its in player's condition but it does have the added bonus of having Nordstrand pickups and an Audere pre-amp which sounds the nuts. It plays superbly and has a fairly new set of DR Hi-Beams on it. Its also got Schaller Straplocks too. I've used it a few times at gigs, through an Ampeg SVT 5 and 8x10 and through a old H&H rig and it sounded equally as good through both. I'm really looking for trades on this but would be willing to sell for £[s]375[/s] ono £325. Also comes with Yamaha hard case.

    I recently bought a Peavey 6505+ head - if I'd have waited I'd have bitten your arm off for this. I've also got the Mk1 5150 Combo and it sounds the nuts. Good luck with the sale.

    I'd say that Trace Elliot amp, either valve or SS/vavle hybrid are amps you can just plug into and get a decent sound. I really like the sound of Trace Amps - especailly the older versions (pre-Gibson). I've played through an SVT 5 and Ampeg 8x10 and yes, the sound was huge - but this was an outdoor gig in front of 2000 people. I wouldn't want to be lugging that rig around for the average pub / club gig. Its just complete overkill.

    Artists are typcial Gibson basses. Buck the trend when it comes to design, quirky, subjective and distinct sound and above all cost a lot. I'm not a fan, simply because of the weight and what you get for that added weight burden but some people love them. I liken Gibson basses to going out with a nymphomaniac who is also a schizophrenic. There's good points but also a hell of a lot of bad points.
  23. WHUFC BASS
    I wouldn't. I did it for a few years and the money was nice but ultimately it made me give up for 10 years because I was sick of just playing stuff I didn't really like. Now I'm playing stuff that I write, like listening to and love playing I coudln't be happier. Quick rule of thumb, if you don't like listening to the music, chances are you won't enjoy playing it.
  24. WHUFC BASS
    Thats a pretty good price for the Peavey - I've got the Combo version and also the 6505 Plus head (essentially the same amp with just a different model number) which are fantastic amps for metal / hardcore / punk. I'd higly recommend this amp if hi-gain guitar is your thing.

    Not me playing but went to see Cocksparrer at the Forum in London - brilliant night.
