[quote name='molan' timestamp='1355788012' post='1902883'] Funnily enough the greatest disappointment I've ever had with a bass was a Kingbass, lol. I was really looking forward to owning one but pretty much from the moment I took it out of it's case I disliked it, I literally couldn't find a single thing about it I liked Reason for saying this is not to criticise your choice but just to emphasise the great thing about basses is that we're each looking for something different and personal and the world would be a very boring place if we all wanted the same thing I guess I've had a few basses over the years that have massively exceeded my expectations but then something else has come along that was just that bit better again. Have been pretty settled with a '63J and a Ritter Cora for a while now but recently picked up a GB Spitfire (by accident!) that really surprised me and I've been playing it a lot - I bought it to modify and sell but was so surprised at how it sounded and felt to play that I've hung on to it for a bit [/quote] Many years ago I bought a Kingbass on BassWorld. I couldn't get on with it at all. Beautifully made it was an ergonomic nightmare. I traded it for a Rickenbacker and the new owner moved it on straight away. All my ACGs have matched or exceeded my high expectations. The trouble is my expectations keep going up every time I visit Moffat

I've had this pedal a while but it's never been gigged and comes with power supply, original packaging and manual etc. It does chorus but I'm looking for trades for something that's a competent chorus standalone. Tech 21 Bass Boost Chorus anyone or an Analogman BI? [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/nm-1-nova-modulator/"]http://www.tcelectro...nova-modulator/[/url] Value? £125 will sell also. Peter -
Happy Birthday and enjoy the ACG Pre. I've a ACG03 on order I perhaps need to add that these are only available with a wood surround

Portable cab to go nicely with a MarkBass Little Mark Tube...?
GreeneKing replied to charliethornton's topic in Amps and Cabs
I've a LM tube (the 500 with the analog power amp). Mines paired with an EAD Foundation 212 and sounds kinda awesome. -
A bump for a special bass -
My favourite bump -
[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1355762639' post='1902370'] I can only see the Mahogany bodied 302 which is £950 on their website. [/quote] I played one on Saturday and it was definitely £513.00p It had some wear but played and sounded beautifully. Give em a ring and ask for Gary.

A gentle bump for this lovely bass. Also a price drop to £625

Yes, as I said originally all the electrics work as per Yamaha intentions. I always avoid opinion in FS threads myself is it could detract. Many people think active pickup tone when the word EMG comes along yet these are very much not that tone. Peter

I might be able to sing yes. But if I try to sing and play bass my hands stop working

[quote name='Wiggybass' timestamp='1355401050' post='1897834'] It sure is - I've been looking for one for ages too...just a pity about the EMGs IMO. [/quote] That's helpful thank you If you haven't heard this bass with the Hz then it's perhaps not quite valid to comment? The original pickups were defective and are 'unobtainium'. I've owned TRBP's in both 5 and 6 string format and I'd say that the Hz's are as good as if not better than the originals. They also look a great and a good match imo. Please note that these are not active pickups. Peter

We've even gone so far as to place ads in the local paper. This really is a location issue. The few good singers are already committed and everyone else wants to be a guitar hero
-
My point is, we really don't have an alternative. No singer and we probably fold. This is the 2nd band I've been in where a lack of singers prevents us moving forward. Frustrating it is.
-
[quote name='Wiggybass' timestamp='1355350937' post='1897385'] Do you happen to have the old pickups? [/quote] No I'm afraid not.
-
Okay so we're not very original but we're 3 committed musicians and a drummer who have worked hard to get a reasonably tight set. We do the 'old classic rock' thing and around here (Kendal in the Lakes) there's not a big music scene. The drummer is great, rock solid and loud making my job easy. The lead guitarist is a talented guy who's really into his 'classic rock' (hence the band's direction) and the rhythm guitarist is great. A good reliable band. Except the singer who cancels at short notice, doesn't learn his songs, turns up pissed and at times fails to show at all. Tonight I'd arranged for two of the lads at school where I work to come along to watch (an autistic residential school for boys). They are both musicians themselves. I needed to make some arrangements, get permission, a risk assessment done and clear it with the opposite shift. Just after I'd loaded the bass gear and the PA into the van I get a text, singer has cancelled. We've tried long and hard to find another singer and we're supposed to have our 1st gig in 3 weeks time If anyone knows of a singer in these parts who may be interested please pm me. Grr.......

Sorry Mike this needs to be sale only I'm afraid. Peter

A fairly rare bass I suspect from the very few I've seen around. A new project in my life of bassplaying makes the selling of some instruments a sad reality. This example is a real beauty in top condition. Neck through, 34" scale, piezo bridge with an ebony fingerboard and top build quality are all TRB trademarks. The electrics all work perfectly and there is very little tarnishing of the gold hardware. Mark wise it's in exceptional condition for a bass of it's age with light scuffs but there is one small ding as photographed. It's a P/J as you can see and defective pickup caused them to be replaced by previous owner with EMG Hz. The bass sounds really great with these pickups and looks good too imo. It comes with the original Yamaha hard case. Weight about 9.2 lbs in old money. I'm looking for £650 (now £625) plus shipping.

I bought this great bass on BC a little while back but a new project in my basslife forces me to sell 2 or even 3 basses (see elsewhere but a Yamaha TRB4P will be one of them). It's a 2003 model and is just about mint. I've done a thorough search for marks and found two tiny scratches on the front upper body that really don't photograph and are likely to polish out. I can try if any potential buyer wishes. It came with steel Rotosounds in good nick but I fitted Ernie Ball Super Slinky nickels. I can pop the Roto's in if anyone wishes. I'm looking for what I effectively paid, £900 (now £875) (now £850) A stunning looking bass (I think that the matching headstock really sets it off beautifully) in just about mint condition, comes with original case. Shipping extra Peter [url="http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2266406788&k=xRqwhps&lb=1&s=A"][/url] [url="http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2266406977&k=QvcvJmq&lb=1&s=A"][/url] [url="http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2266407457&k=jDC3BD4&lb=1&s=A"][/url] [url="http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2266407741&k=z8HrJPZ&lb=1&s=A"][/url] [url="http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=2266406855&k=HKJBBvn&lb=1&s=A"][/url]

[quote name='Bernmeister' timestamp='1355078032' post='1893766'] I haven't seen Thin Lizzy play live since the Thunder & Lightning Tour. I'm tempted to go see them this coming week, when they play in Birmingham. Does anyone know if they play any new material from the forthcoming new album? Oh yes, Marco is a wicked bass player [/quote] I last saw `lizzy' on the Johnny The Fox' tour
