  1. [quote name='fretmeister' post='1212422' date='Apr 27 2011, 11:00 AM']Stick it on musicradar as well.

    Paul Clark (aka Clarky) guitarist with the David Cross Band (basically half of King Crimson) uses these in his rig and is always looking for back ups.

    For people who haven't heard the unit:

    All guitars & bass were recorded using one.[/quote]

    Thanks for the heads up.....

  2. [quote name='Lorne' post='1196983' date='Apr 12 2011, 04:22 PM']See, told you I wasn't a fan, I couldn't even spell his name :)

    I still knew he never played one and Alembic SHOULD be going mental over this[/quote]

    Well they aren't happy judging by certain comments, but seeing as though John's Alembic had a Gibson shaped body - they can't really say anything.
    Other than the cobwebs and the note inlay markers, there is little else to set John's Exploiter apart and they were probably John's design mods anyway...

  3. He NEVER played a Dean - total money making exercise, and I don't think they'll make that much either. He didn't actually play [i]that[/i] many over a near 40 year career...

    Fender Precision
    Fender Jazz (these till '71)
    Gibson Thunderbird
    Fenderbird (these till '75)
    Alembic Series I
    Alembic Exploiter/Spyder (these till '85)
    Warwick Buzzard
    Warwick Buzzard with Modulus graphite neck (these till '96)
    Status Buzzard 1 and 2 (these until his death in 2002)

    However, he owned hundreds!

    BTW, no 'H' in Entwistle!!!! :)

    I prefer my picture tbh! The other will be eradicated from my memory!

  5. [quote name='crez5150' post='1163242' date='Mar 15 2011, 03:55 PM']Hmmm I wouldn't say that was lucky.... :)[/quote]

    Yeah, I see what you mean... she's 'orrible! :)


  6. Just bought a GK Neo 212 II from Thomann. Ordered at 6.30pm Monday, arrived 2.45pm Thursday - that's quicker than sending something first class in the UK (I speak from bitter experiance!)
    Great to deal with and I couldn't find any shop that would price match them - not that any of them had any GK stock. The cab cost £80 less than the cheapest over here.

  7. Title says it all really.

    Excellent condition, the model which incorporates the GK bi-amp feature and light at only 23kg - a cracking 2x10 which can also be used full range with any head by means of a 1/4" jack lead. The Speakon cable for bi-amping comes with it.
    So, my esteemed Basschat colleagues - what might it be worth?

    Cheers in advance.

  8. Should mention that this unit is also a preamp...

    If anyone would like to read the manual to see just what this baby can do - here it is:

  9. So this is how it feels when you finally get the best rig you can that suits your needs/sound?

    A slight come down after the high; a realisation that trawling thru the 'for sale' sections means nothing anymore; hours given back to you that you can spend doing something else instead of constantly being on Basschat attempting to get to the bargains first - yet somehow feeling that it's a waste of time.

    Anyone else get 'the shakes'?

  10. [quote name='dood' post='1152492' date='Mar 7 2011, 02:02 PM']Wow! A real treat! - Always wanted to try one of these on bass but never had the chance. I understand you can mix both SS and Valve preamps together. Have you tried this and were you able to maintain bass bottom end when using distortion patches?[/quote]

    Never knowingly mixed the two, I pretty much used Factory settings - there are a 100 on there ( I think), so a good sound wasn't hard to find!
    Each patch can be eq'd, so I never had any problem with getting bass....
