I'm not a U2 fan myself. There have been times in the dim recesses of my memory that I have enjoyed listening to their stuff (Joshua Tree comes to mind). But, (never begin a sentence with but) there are literally millions of folk out there that do enjoy their music and I accept and respect that. I also accept that I don't actually know any of the band (I'm not ever likely to) who are probably okay dads, sons, brothers, drinking buddies, mates etc. Even if they aren't who am I to judge? If I were to go around calling people I don't actually know c**ts, or whatever I really would be acting pretty judgementally and with narrow minded bigotry imo. But, (again that but at the beginning of a sentence) a lot of folk on here seem to be very adept at it. Peter

[quote]Bye[/quote] I read that reply to Below's very articulate post and one word popped into my head: w***er! I think you're spot on Jon, and that reply reinforced your comment one hundredfold.. Peter

Such is the nature of these things.... I've just spent 2 lazy Sunday hours researching loopers on the web and I've bought a EHX Stereo Memory Man for a good price So now I need to sell some pedals to fund the looper and this thread changes from trade to sale. I've decided to keep the Small Clone for the time being as it is the nicest chorus I've ever heard and it works well with bass (and may work well with the looper). I've had an offer on the MXR so will pm and update if it doesn't go. All pedals are in very good condition. Zoom Ultra Fuzz £60 Exar Bass Distortion £50 Behringer VT999 £40 Look like this: Peter -
[b]Please go to next post[/b] I don't use fx pedals and have a few sitting around doing nothing. I would be interested in a Looper in trade and also any particular recommendations for same. FX pedals I have are: EH Small Clone with a couple of scratches. (very simple lush chorus) MXR M-188 BASS AUTO-Q. Zoom Ultra Fuzz (Unless Toasted wants 1st dibs ) EXAR Bass Distortion Behringer VT999 Vintage tube monster with PSU I have boxes and manual for most as well as a Dunlop brick with leads incl EH adapter. So what have you got looper wise for trade? I've even got a small SKB pedal board/bag to go with them all. Peter

Great news Steve, glad to see that you went for one of Alan's creations and I'm sure you'll love both the bass and the whole creation experience. Peter - who speaking to Alan in a couple of weeks about some ideas.
-
It's normally now that the offers come rolling in Al. Tried my ACG'd Spector at band practice last night and it was making me smile a lot. Peter -
Aha there we have come to the nub of the issue

[quote]Bottom end is what bass is all about and when I hear twangy hi-fi bassists, it makes me wonder why they play bass at all.[/quote] Kinda depends on the material you're playing I suspect? Me I prefer a barky lower mid tone to a woolly rumble but there are some songs it suits. Les Claypool would hardly sound good with a dub tone (Although he'd sound a lot better than me)

[quote]Asama is Japanese for "Big Bottom".[/quote] Interesting bass and it looks in very good condition.

[quote]have Markbass even been going long enough to haven a proven history?[/quote] Where have you been hiding away for the past few years?

There will be others, might just mean a wait? Rather nice Celinder up too. Peter

Sorry to hear your news CK. Maybe its not all bad if you won't have to live in Peterborough any more? Peter -
There's a very nice 91 NT Thumb on here that switches to passive. Pre 93 Warwicks are quite something and it would fit your bill and be much higher quality than your Fender in my biased opiniopn [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40060"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40060[/url] Peter

That would be SAD if that happens I expect you'd say OW as you raised your eyes SKYwards! Okay I'm going

I think you are right Jon and I have plans I'll say no more at this point but my search for a fretless Wal has ceased methinks. Peter

As a Spector Euro owner myself and as the geezer what fitted the pre-amp I'd just like to echo what's been said and more. The two minor issues mentioned by Alan really are minor and this is truly a VAS. A what? A Value Added Spector. The bass has retained all the classic Spector balls and has gained depth and versatility. If I was a 5 string player I wouldn't hesitate to jump at it, and yes my 4 now has an ACG02 fitted as well Peter

What they said +100

With good reason, the newest, the ACG is my 'perfect' bass. It fits me like it was made for me and it was. It just seems easier to play than anything else and sounds quite superb. I can honestly say they are all great basses. Peter
-
Finally the beast and the beauty. RKS 5 string and my Harlot ACG. It's amazing how writing an essay is sure to make you procrastinate.
-
Nearly there Warmoth/Darkstar/ACG pre and Spector Euro LX also ACG'd
-
Peavey T-40 and Fretless jazz with Badass II, Warmoth neck and ACG pre amp.

Half way with my 90 Thumb NT and Bass Collection

Next up a pair of Yamahas TRB4P (MkI) and my BB1500A

I've finally reached a happy number of basses. Down from 20 to 12. I thought I'd just take a break from essay writing to photo them all. First off from L to R Rickenbacker C64S 4001 Macca bass with reversed headstock and tuners. Next my CS4001 Chris Squire.

Yo! and welcome. Whereabouts in Essex? We've a few Essex folk about, although I live bleedin' miles away nowadays. Peter
