    Thanks Mike, appreciated.

    I bought a Vintage Tony Butler Signature on a whim (it looks stunning) and to have as a cheap pub passive backup. The bass is well made with decent Wilkinson pickups, tuners and bridge. The electrics were cheap Chinese items that were replaced with a CTS harness and 'proper' knobs. The fretwork was woeful so I gave the bass to renowned luthier Phil Hartley in Bolton and he dressed the frets, set it up with new Ernie Ball Nickels and replaced the nut. So I spent another £200 on it and as I'm not in a band at the mo so I don't really need it. I'm looking for £250 plus delivery. Yep, 34" scale. It's a great P, what more can I say, plays ever so well, mint condition and in black with a 3 ply black plate I think it's classy.

    I've taken a few photos of my Duesenberg Star that I'm looking to sell. It's a German made Star, not a 'Starplayer'. It's a twin pickup Vol/Vol/Tone model. It is a mint immaculate example and really does sound like it should imo. I've had a play on more expensive Gretsch models and I've found them disappointing. This sounds like you would expect a semi acoustic to sound, strong and with a hint of the acoustic. Oh and yes it does have a black flame finish in the curved back I'm looking at £450 plus delivery. Here's some photos: [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2774003944&k=6fGwcQC&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2774003964&k=bBbm39s&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2774003995&k=DQ35mGC&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2774004244&k=KTJtQ9g&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2774004302&k=2c44WDS&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2774004368&k=FR5Pw2t&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2774004431&k=72KZqBf&lb=1&s=A][/url]

    Okay so I'm a bassist and the band is looking rather shaky so I'm up for new opportunities. I'm a bassing bassist based in Kendal but I'm not biased. Peter

    Zoom MS60B

    GreeneKing replied to Mudpup's topic in Effects

    Thanks Dood. I'm presently using a Polytune, Darkglass (with EQ) and a Seymour Duncan Doubleback compressor. The Darkglass isn't getting used to a great deal of effect to be honest either. I'd like to add some chorus but prefer to be minimalist with a board. Am I right in understanding that the B3 can create up to 3 simultaneous effects (including amp sim and compressor) and the MS 4? I'm leaning towards the MS Edited to add, I've ordered a B3 - lol Peter

    Hmmm.. Liking the idea of this and wondering Dood your thoughts on the B3 vs MS60-B? Peter

    A great piece of woody Scottish mastery and a great guy to buy from. Peter

    Alan's ties were clearly laid out in the thread. 'Cheeky humour as is his want'? I didn't see the humour there at all. I usually have a good sense of such subtleties too. I don't personally associate Bilbo with 'cheeky humour' and neither evidently, at the time did Alan despite what agonising might have followed. I think you are being defensive perhaps? I'm a robust bloke but I do see an easy path of firing off clever anecdotes without taking full responsibility. If we were all sat around a room with all the extra clues available to us than it would perhaps be different. Peter

    I can understand where Alan is coming from. I've known him for years and he is a particularly nice bloke who I count as a friend. Now I don't spend an overwhelming amount of time on BC nowadays (compared to how much time I spent here years ago) but I browsed the Beatles thread while I waited for the thaw to give me access home. I read Bilbo's comment that provoked Alan's reaction and given that Alan has emotional, cultural and family ties into this whole subject I'm not surprised he reacted as he did. I think the comment was poorly considered and inane in the extreme. There's a statement in NLP that I feel applies solidly here. [b]The Meaning Of Your Communication is The Response You Get. [/b]I believe that Bilbo should share some responsibility as we all should for comments fired off from our keyboards. Peter
  12. GreeneKing
    We perhaps would all benefit from a little perspective review here? After all, the Beatles, bunch of Norvern Munkeys. It's easy to debate the ins and outs of motive and moral standing when armed with a keyboard, heaven knows I do it. Sometimes a man hug and a beer would be the ideal approach. Keep with it Alan you are valued. Peter

    ACG build

    GreeneKing replied to ead's topic in Build Diaries

    Nice to see some wenge in there
  14. GreeneKing
    I find that as time passes I'm more open to a wider variety of music. Yes some new bands sound like old bands but I'm looking, and finding, stuff that stands out from that. Peter
  15. GreeneKing
    Thanks, I've already changed the spec to two MC5's

    You know it makes sense. Congratulations.

    Mel sold me a guitar chord book (the draw of the dark side eh?). Great price and prompt delivery, thank you. Peter

    Mine presently sits in a small Boshma case and it's a neat and tidy one handed carry. It has a sliding panel at the rear for easy access without having two lids that take up more room. Recommended (the amp and the case). This is not a sales pitch btw, they really are good even if I get round to letting mine go Peter
  19. GreeneKing
    If you can pm me your Paypal address Mel I'll sort the money out

    I've had a fair few like this over the years. I put it down to giving in to GAS under the influence and realising they can't really afford it in the cold light of day.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1359990297' post='1963044'] I am yet to see/try an EAD cab, so yes - my comments re build quality are restricted to my knowledge and experience of BFB. I was really responding to your original post that they seem flimsy. To an extent they do, but in use they are less so than they seem. No "bun fight" intended here either. I just thought that the original comparison (S12 vs. F212) was a bit unfair as they are trying to be different things. A far more useful comparison would be (as you said) Big Twin T vs. F212. And as you rightly say, the financial side is much more balanced too. I think we are actually agreeing with one another... [/quote] Agree? Now there's an idea
  22. GreeneKing
    Mel I'll take the acoustic guitar songbook if it's still available. Whereabouts are you? Peter
  23. GreeneKing
    My 'hands down' comment is valid (in my opinion of course) and is attributed to what you get for your money as well as the sonic differences. Maybe my assessment was out of date re prices but I suspect your comment Conan about build was based on knowledge of the BF alone? The EAD is now £1250 plus £25 delivered whereas the nearest equivalent Big Twin T (and not the one used in the comparison) is £1050 plus, I believe £80 surcharge and £60 delivery. In the Pounds and lbs stakes that's £1275 and 57lbs against £1190 and 57lbs. Both cabs sound great and I'm not about to promote a cab bun fight. I can say what I firmly believe, that in terms of value for money the EAD is a bargain when you break down exactly what you are getting. Both are great cabs, just significantly different approaches to the box that the speakers fit into. Peter

    Was that a single or twin channel one? I've one I'm plucking up courage to put into the 'For Sale' section. Mines a twin channel owned from new and I love it. I just love my LM Tube 500 more, at the moment

    This weekend I took the JPS Fender along to the Moffat Bass bash. It was up for sale for £500 (it cost me £575 and I've spent over £300 on it). I heard it played alongside some very expensive instruments. For it's style it wasn't bettered by any and is indeed a bass that has benefitted from it's upgraded electronics tremendously. It's also the best Fender I've laid my hands on in terms of playability. I no longer gig with 4 strings but I realise that selling this bass at all is a flawed idea. To have sold it for £500 would have been total madness. So it's a missed opportunity folks Peter
