    [quote name='dannybuoy' post='490018' date='May 16 2009, 06:25 PM']Tempted... I've been looking for a cheap but decent 5er. Can you tell me what it's strung with and give us a quote for postage?[/quote]


    I don't know what its strung with TBH as they were put on new by Mark when I had it. They haven't had much use either. I reckon it'll cost about a tenner to post in the UK

    This is the best 5 I have ever had but I just don't use it.

    I had this in a trade from fellow BC'er bassman2790 a few months ago.
    Its a lovely bass to play (Marks' set ups are very nice and low) and sounds very very nice but having used it only at rehearsal I have realized that having gone back to four strings a few years ago I really don't need 5 anymore.

    I would rather sell this then trade but let me know what you have basses, effects possibly a cab of some description I'll see what you have.

    I will post if required at buyers expense but prefer meeting or collection.

    Selling price somewhere around £130.

    Thanks

    Here are the obligatory on the bed shots. :)

    [quote name='rogerio_paulo67' post='485382' date='May 11 2009, 10:14 PM']i tryed the zoom....its fast chaging patchs, soooo clean sound (no noise) ,
    the factory patchs are very good, from distorsion, octaves , and a mix of sounds that i do not know how to drescribe !!
    all right sounds for a bass, plus strange sounds if you prefer synth bass.
    the Pedal have some direct knobs access , for EQ,, etc...
    i always think about Boss pedals...but the zoom is amazing..!! its 24bit converter..but inside its a 32bit !!! well the bass did not sound digital , was a nice time when i tried..did not wanted to leave the shop LOL....you can read the manual at Zoom site , just to see how it is easy to use!!

    BTW the bass is now strung with Warwick red label roundwounds - flats chew up my fingers - which are marking the fretboard a bit. I wouldn't worry about it for £60 TBH. You can put flats back on if that's your preference.[/quote]


    PM'd. I'll have it...

    FS/Trade: Vintage 4 String Fretless

    [quote name='bassoctopus' post='468535' date='Apr 21 2009, 02:17 PM']I bought this on here a while ago from Marcus.

    I've since found that I'm no Pino Palladino and I need a cheap 5 string as a spare for gigs so it's got to go.

    Natural wood - it's quite a dark Bubinga type wood. Active electronics. Sounds and plays pretty well.

    Side of the nut is cracked but doesn't effect playability.

    £60 + postage. Which IIRC is what I paid for it

    Or even better trade me for a cheap 5 string.

    You won't get a better fretless for £60.[/quote]


    Got any PICS? I may be interested in a cheap fretless
    Cheers :)

    EDIT - You obviously joined way before me, so quoting MB1, I'll just get my coat.......[/quote]

    It's nice but that bookmatched Burr Madrone still does it for me Sam...and blue LEDS...more expensive mmmmm :)
    The BB is one sexy bass though.

    [quote name='bassman2790' post='461661' date='Apr 13 2009, 10:30 PM']It'd be interesting to hear another player through my rig to see if it was me. I have experimented with different techniques over the years and tried playing in different positions. I think that the clinical cleanliness of the Trace may just be too clean for me.[/quote]

    Mark, That can be arranged if you want me to pop round.
    By the way, I thought your bass sound was very nice at The Mitre.

    USA JAzz VS Precision

    Posted · Edited by basswesty

    I have a new MIA Jazz that I love, a CIJ P (with Wizard Thumpers) that I love and a Lakland BG P (with Lindy Fralin's) that is awasome. They all offer me something different IMO.
    But if i [i]HAD[/i] to keep one only it would be the Jazz.

    I don't get the 'P has One sound' though. Ok, its never going to have the variation of certain other basses with loads of EQ but you can get a fair amount of tone from a P by a twist of the tone pot and moving your right hand to play near the bridge/neck.

    Sit back and wait for the backlash!!! :)

    Lending your gear out

    My policy is now a NO Loaning one. I dont even allow support acts to use my rig..........should it blow, then my gig is knackered. It seems hard to tell people but Ive never turned up for a gig without gear and never would expect to use other rigs, I know my tone and carry my gear accordingly.

    +1 Harsh to some but my policy too.

    If you get a Compact you won't need any other cabs. I've just got rid of a full stack for ONE Compact. Trust me its loud enough for most gigs. I work with a very loud drummer and even louder guitarist. One cab is enough for that. (Still might get another though just cause...) :)

    Copeland doesn't hold speed well at all but then again there are recordings where you can hear Sting shouting 'FASTER'

    Saw them in 2007 though. Good gig.
