    [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1391184925' post='2354335'] I have no dosh, but I do have a 1976 Moog Rogue Synth in pretty decent condition I am thinking of moving on. [/quote] Very tempting (especially after looking at the Youtube clips) but I need to have my sensible head on at the moment!

    [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1391366545' post='2356305'] put some audio clips on here [/quote] I wouldn't have the first idea how to I'm afraid...

    And now for something completely different... My Waterstone 12 string bass, signature model of Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick. I bought it from Nancy Johnson a few months back, and he had looked after it exceptionally well, as have I - there's not a mark on it, it really is as-new. It's from the first run, #33. Set neck and 34" scale. A very rare beast indeed, I've truly never played or heard anything quite like it - the tone is immense. An incoming baby means I'm having to move some stuff on and abandon my studio (junk room), and I can't really find a place for this in wedding gigs... The bass comes with a Waterstone gig bag, although it's a bit flimsy so I'd prefer not to post if possible. No trades at the moment. I'm in Dartford if anybody fancies a go on it. (The red is a bit brighter than the pics suggest) [URL=http://s903.photobucket.com/user/ben_merrick/media/IMAG1544.jpg.html][IMG]http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac238/ben_merrick/IMAG1544.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s903.photobucket.com/user/ben_merrick/media/IMAG1548.jpg.html][IMG]http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac238/ben_merrick/IMAG1548.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s903.photobucket.com/user/ben_merrick/media/IMAG1546.jpg.html][IMG]http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac238/ben_merrick/IMAG1546.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s903.photobucket.com/user/ben_merrick/media/IMAG1547.jpg.html][IMG]http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac238/ben_merrick/IMAG1547.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Whereabouts are you?

    Very nearly withdrew this after playing it at rehearsal as it sounds so good... But I just can't get on with the body shape. I'll definitely be up for putting some Thunderbuckers in a Fender-style body at some point. But for now... This is still up for sale. It needs to be gawn (see above) so open to offers.

    Is this 'amp GAS' I am experiencing? It's never happened before...

    Great demo. I do love the Ashdown drive, and it sounds a lot like my old ABM. Nice top end too, and the whole thing sounds a lot less clinical than some of the recent Ashdown amps. I need a new rig - this looks very tempting! Why do demo videos always take the mids out before slapping? Is this the done thing with slappers? I don't know.

    [quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1391097839' post='2353244'] It sounds very pentatonic style to me, something Jon was big on, without knowing it or so the rumours go aha! But yeah, sounds like a pentatonic riff that goes up and down while peddling in the middle, if you know what chords he's playing that under/over then you're away [/quote] Yeah, just a big pentatonic runaround in E.

    As a P bass player, I used to get hand cramp after playing my Geddy Lee Jazz and my '81 Rickenbacker 4001... Both had very thin necks though. In the case of the Jazz, [i]waffer-theen[/i].

    [quote name='Salt on your Bass?' timestamp='1390569493' post='2346968'] That just sounds wrong IMO for a Class D to be: 1. That expensive 2. That heavy [/quote] Do they say how much it is?

    Anyone been lucky enough to give one of these beauties a spin?

    Pics would help!

    [quote name='ryancowell25' timestamp='1390342200' post='2344393'] I believe they are the Thunderbuckers [/quote] This used to be mine! Excellent bass. It doesn't have Thunderbuckers though, unless you've upgraded. I think it's Seymour Duncans under the shiny cover.

    [i]Bump. [/i] Open to offers!

    Stereo generally refers to basses that allow you to take a feed from each pickup, Rickenbackers and the high-end Alembics for example. It's a bit of a misnomer as the separate feeds usually combine to make the complete sound as opposed to being sent out from different sides of the stage (for example). I don't think it's a gimmick at all - nothing sounds like a Series II Alembic - or indeed the classic Rick sound. Of course there are some more eccentric interpretations - the Roy Wood bass in a previous post being a good example!

    [quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1390072969' post='2341223'] Maybe there is a sub consious side that he doesnt appeal because hes on his own not a band. He obviously has a band but i grew up on same music as you and i loved the idea of the whole band thing with a group of guys. Just a thought [/quote] Lest we forget, Alice Cooper was, originally, the name of the band. As for the OP, you just don't like him/them. Don't worry about it. There are countless supposedly great and legendary bands I can't stand - The Doors and Guns n' Roses to name a couple. Rumour has it there are some folk on here who dislike the Beatles! Nutters, I know

    I like the general design of the thing but the finish is questionable, to say the least. Corts are excellent basses, I'm not surprised Jeff likes them. I'm still amazed by this but at the last London Bass Guitar Show, the Cort basses I tried were the nicest I played all weekend. I like Jeff, too, even though I disagree with most of the things he says!
  20. Cosmo Valdemar
    Damn good tone for sure. Still sounds like Geddy even on a P. My money's on Exit, Stage Left though. Or Signals (the Rick stuff).
  21. Cosmo Valdemar
    Bump, dammit, bump!
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    I love Alembic basses - they're really 'as good as it gets' in my opinion - but I've never played the signature models I'm afriad. I have no reason to believe they would be anything less than stunning. I wish they could be run in stereo though!

    [quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1389280812' post='2332299'] Congrats on the offspring... From Greco to Graco !!

Frighteningly close to the truth though!

    I almost bought an ipad just for this app... In fact, on a mate's band's latest album, all the Mellotron sounds were generated from this app.
