    Our drummer Dave is an ace guy. Sadly he often takes his cue from me. I'd die for a crisp clean drummer who had metronomic time. A band is only as good as it's drummer, that's why the Beatles sacked theirs.

    Dave, our drummer (as opposed to Dave our lead guitard) asked me to record a set of basslines so he could practice along to them Duly done: Black Magic Woman Riders On The Storm Smoke On The Water Make Me Smile Save Tonight Old Habits Die Hard Ruby Tuesday Behind Blue Eyes Apache Moving On Someday Baby Sunshine Of Your Love We’ve gotta get out of this place House of the Rising Sun Johnny B Goode Mustang Sally I used my Warwick Blue 60 direct into my Edirol R-09HR and burnt the CD using Audacity and CD Burner XP

    That Vanden is a thing of great beauty. As its quite unique I'd pitch it at a high price, possibly on US eBay with its provenance. The Yamaha is a good example of a EUB and someone here may be interested. I feel that it would be worth getting the best possible price for this guys beneficiaries.

    You can always stop over in Kendal Jon, you're welcome.
  5. GreeneKing
    Having seen your own builds Jon and the obvious immense pride you quite rightly have in them I'd encourage you do build another.

    Something in my gut tells me its probably genuine. Maybe because it looks sufficiently aged and why go to the trouble especially with a neck through bass like this. Tis a lot of money. You seriously interested Jon?

    Arghh, musicians using screwdrivers in allen sockets. The engineer in me is coming out in hives!!

    I got it from a guy in Wiltshire. I don't think its the same one Wayne.

    Thanks for that Dave. I bought it off a great guy who assured me it was okay so presumably the hum comes as standard and the buyer will get a bargain. I've had a lot of enquiries and the amp is currently on hold pending sale tomorrow. Peter The power side valves are 6CA7's if that makes any sense.

    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.

    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

    [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.

    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
  14. GreeneKing
    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
  15. GreeneKing
    I know it's not fashionable but I've got Alembic lust (again)
  16. GreeneKing
    Sold!
  17. GreeneKing
    Available in a branch near you!

    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

    I met Alan the other night. A fine guy to deal with and an awsome player. How's the fretless Alan?

    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
  21. GreeneKing
    [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.

    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
  23. GreeneKing
    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.
  24. GreeneKing
    Loverly looking bass but nowt like a Stingray
  25. GreeneKing
    I've used some neophrene with good results. Stuff that keeps it restitution is good.
