    Vintage V1004DX

    Machines replied to Machines's topic in Basses

    You bought it at MusicLive ? I probably played it first . And yeah - fantastic piece of kit, if they did a 5 string of this i'd seriously consider it.

    Hmm, would lemon oil work ? Does fine for rosewood..

    Ok not too badly priced here: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_btb675_ntf.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_btb675_ntf.htm[/url]

    Your ABM500 combo will only be operating at apx. 300w without an additional cab. Adding an extension cab unlocks the full potential of the head. The 4x10 or 1x15 (effectively a cab but built into the combo) will be 8ohm. Adding another 8ohm cab will give you the 575w @ 4ohm advertised. The only way you could get the full whack out of the existing combo is by changing the speakers inside. It is a bit confusing but you'll get used to it .

    Nice one - i'm beginning to GAS for a Precision-type bass and this looks great value.

    I really like the new neck through BTBs, but the price has gone up significantly (they're about £600). The attraction of them before was the fact they were so cheap and good value.. I expect these ones are fantastic too but at that price they won't shift as many.

    I emailed him saying how ridiculous a price it was back in October, he said I didn't know what I was talking about...

    Stick it on eBay - much bigger audience there !

    Never owned one but have played a fair few of them. Build quality is fantastic and they're also well designed. If it's a good price then go for it - I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about them ever.

    I invested in a Warwick Infinity (Mousemat) from them, it took a week to come.. though I suppose it was hardly critical equipment.

    They should be easy to add.. get to it phatmonkey !

    So... assuming the average string is 100cm long (bridge to machinehead including wraps), and the average bass has 4 strings... then there is a collective ~5.3km (3.3 Miles) of strings between us, it'll be even more if you take into account ERBs and double basses..

    Enough of ganging up on the poor chap... he's just trying to sell it ! If he did pay £850 for it then it isn't fair to make fun of him and make him seem dumb.
  21. Machines
    Yeah spotted this earlier - looks nice.

    I've been quite lax about it to be honest but i'm now getting bored of it. If you disagree with price someone has put their item up for, then PM them saying why you believe it is too high. Something is of course only worth what someone is willing to pay, what YOU are willing to pay may be different to someone else. If they choose to take your advice then great - if not then it isn't your problem. If you believe the seller is purposely being dishonest about the item then please PM a moderator who will look into it. The vigilante style self-moderation that is becoming commonplace is a nice theory, but can leads to this kind of situation. It doesn't benefit the forum and doesn't give a favourable impression of the people who are discrediting the item. I will from now on begin to delete any posts where I believe a member is discrediting the seller for the only reason that they disagree with the price of the item.

    [quote name='minty fresh death' post='128322' date='Jan 26 2008, 05:19 PM']Gaiz, just because you don't agree with a sellers price isn't really a reason to jump on his head :/[/quote] Yep - it's getting a bit tedious when instead of PMing the seller people jump on the bandwagon and ridicule the price/item for sale. If members believe the price is misinformed then please PM the seller with your concerns, if they choose to ignore you then that is their prerogative. If the cost is too high, then quite simply - no-one will buy it.

    They only just brought out the MM22/32 ? How strange.

    [quote name='tauzero' post='127172' date='Jan 24 2008, 06:42 PM']That's the one. Possibly the nicest guitar I've ever played, actually. Far more playable than the Parker Fly he'd got in for six times the money. I was tempted but I'm not a good enough guitarist to do it justice (the Variax 300 is fine for me).[/quote] I gave it a play in the new year, it does indeed play like butter ! I might steal it off him for a bit. Express Music in Solihull (and Shirley) are truly hopeless for basses. They only stock cheapo basses (Johnson / AXL etc, the occasional MIM Fender) and there really hasn't ever been a single instrument in there i'd want. Also, their prices are usually above RRP and they won't budge on them. That said - they have a nice range of Ashdown gear. I live only a couple of miles away so pop in fairly often in the hope they'll have something nice.. I need to pop into Sheldon Music to see what they have really since it's so close.
