  1. He does say: 'Here's the website jargon:' The comment about the included psu is a part of this 'jargon' that looks like its been cut and pasted. I wouldn't have assumed it included the psu and I'd have checked it out with him 1st.
  2. I'm putting my Sound City up for sale. I think it's a little noisy (Just a hum) and I have the choice of either selling as is or getting it serviced. Some say that these amps are a little noisy so maybe it's normal? Collection or delivery within reasonable distance, although I'm travelling from North to South next w/e. £200 as is, you're welcome to give it a try. Output switched between 4, 8 and 16 Ohms. 120 valve watts. If I get it serviced it'll be reflected in the price. This is a very good price - no offers please. Spare valves and original 'smartie' knobs included. Also fitted with side sprung handles as the strap and 52lb is plain silly Selling as I already have 2 standby amps Peter
  3. [quote]Can you recall what model it was?[/quote] I don't know the model (I didn't know the difference between a P and a J at the time) but it was a pure Alembic design not one of the 'nod to the more conventional' models. I think it had the 'lagoon' tailpiece.
  4. Not me. I had a beautiful trans white Metro Sad I sold to Birdy quite some time ago now. I'm very pleased with my sorry lot
  5. Well, if a CS Ric ever takes your fancy? I don't really know why I have this Alembic thing. When I 1st started with bass about 12 yrs ago there was a 2nd hand one in Mansons in Plymouth. Ralph, who later worked for BGM did his best to ignore my obvious passion for it and sold me a far more sensible TRB4 instead
  6. I know it's not fashionable but I've got Alembic lust (again)
  7. Available in a branch near you!
  8. I bought a new Comfort Strapp the other day and having a medium that's a little on the long side I went for a short one. Mistake. This strap will only work out if you are 1. A skinny/wiry/lean racing snake. AND 2. Play with your bass high. Half price £15 or swop for a Medium. It's been slightly trimmed around the inner two holes to allow Schaller straplocks fitted to the outer holes enough room to engage. Peter
  9. I met Alan the other night. A fine guy to deal with and an awsome player. How's the fretless Alan?
  10. Now I have my Overwater to complement the Harlot I find myself having to tweek to get it to sit well in the mix - loadsa extra mids basically. I miss the filter pre and thought about modding the Overwater (can't really afford to) but on looking into the control cavity it seems almost sacrilegious to interfere in there
  11. [quote]replace perfectly good Aguilar circuits with funny filter things[/quote] Try one Marcus, read the hype, its justified. Takes a little aquaintance but once bitten, crafting tone is always better than tweeking it. All imo of course.
  12. Yep, 3 x GS112's'd be 2.7 Ohms, 900 watts and they'd be resaleable, stackable and still a 1 handed carry (each). Can you borrow one and give it a try? I'm a bit too far away methinks. Oh and they'd definately 'work' too. In fact I always think 2 x GS112's are more than the sum, wonder what 3'd be like
  13. Don't they just look great. I love mine and I'm currently thinking I may not have to sell it after all which is pleasing me no end.
  14. Loverly looking bass but nowt like a Stingray
  15. I've used some neophrene with good results. Stuff that keeps it restitution is good.
  16. I play like a bloke, who plays very lightly. Haven't voted as there doesn't seem to be a catagory for this
  17. Thank you that is a real beaut. £30? Seriously, all original I seriously reckon over £2k would be a realistic selling price.
  18. Bad news I'm afraid, with the Seymour Duncan the devaluing is immense. I'll give you £20 for the bass and take the original pup off your hands for a fiver. Can't be fairer than that. In seriousness. I'd say over 2K, definately, and pics would be nice.
  19. [quote]Should have used the Overwater comfort strap,[/quote] Is it only me that bridles at 'Should have....' statements. I had an Overwater comfort strap and couldn't stand it! Comfort Strapps are far superior imo. One is now fitted to my very fine Overwater bass All the elastic on the Overwater strap was in one piece in front of the padded section and my bass neck was doing nodding donkey impressions. For me a very significant design flaw.
  20. Many thanks This tells me that the pedal isn't AC supplied at all, as I suspected, it's DC like any other just a 3.5mm jack [url="http://www.bassic.co.uk/"]http://www.bassic.co.uk/[/url] Pictures 5 and 6 would be the appropriate connectors, exactly the same as my Small Clone then. Putting AC at the top of the pedal only serves to confuse. Peter
  21. There's been some nice complete basses going on here for not a lot more than that eBay listing
  22. Hiya I have a mate who has a US Electroharmonix Bassballs that he's trying to source a power supply for. If you go here you will see a US, NYC Bassballs with quite clearly a standard 9v positive tip power supply. [url="http://www.ehx.com/products/bassballs"]http://www.ehx.com/products/bassballs[/url] i.e. But, a big but, his bassballs looks like this: Which seems to indicate an AC power supply. I haven't actually seen the pedal but it seems to have the usual 3.5 mm EHX socket. So does anyone know if this really is an AC supplied pedal. EHX aren't answering emails on this. I find the very idea of an AC supplied pedal a bit odd. If it truly is AC supplied where does one actually get a PSU for the beast. Help here would be greatly appreciated. Peter
  23. I'm thinking that I understand your appreciation Matte, looking at your avatar Marks out of ten for ascetics hmm.... not a hug amount from me but it's Kev's bass and it'll hopefully suit a purpose.
  24. I use a LMII and 2 x GS112's (one NT) and I'm totally happy. In terms of lightness I would argue that if the cabs are a one handed carry how much lighter do they actually need to be?
