  2. There's nothing wrong with that bass. The best upgrade you could make is with the strings. It will make the world of difference depending on the tone you are after - slap / cutting punk, try steel rounds - punchy blues or R&B, go for heavy flats. The difference will be night and day. Don't waste you cash on bridges, tuners, pickups - you've got a good bass there, the difference those changes will make will be minute, especially in a band mix.
  3. 51 re-issue and my gorgeous 78. Both strung with heavy flats.
  4. Sad news. http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120716/ENT09/207160405/1361/Motown-bassist-and-Funk-Brother-Bob-Babbitt-dies-at-74
  5. Definitely listen to Keith Ferguson on the first 4 Fabulous Thunderbirds albums. Also the stuff he did with the Solid Senders (if you can find it!)
  6. Sad news. Along with Jamerson, he wrote the book.
  7. No response so I assume this is sold / no longer for sale?
  8. Lovely! What speakers are in them?? Pity you're right up country.
  9. You've played it and know how good it sounds Russ.....
  10. 62 AVRI Jazz. I believe this was made in 1999. Ive had it less than a year and I'm only selling to fund andother P bass! This is a lovely bass finished in black nitro. All the usal 62RI stuff - reverse tuners, stack knobs etc. I only have one of the PU covers (bridge). There are a couple of small scuffs to the finish, one of which is on the back of the neck and is only aesthetic. I dont feel it when playing. The case is quite tatty but does the job.

No trades. Message me for any more info.

  12. I regret selling my 15E and always thought about using two together. What amp are you using and what sound are you going for Pete?
  13. [quote name='eude' post='1237773' date='May 20 2011, 09:25 AM']Ampeg used to do a "small" valve head, was it the V-4B? Get's confusing as I think it was a new model but using an old amp's name... There's a piccie here >> Might be worth seeing if you could pick one of them up. I think a second hand Trace Twin Valve would fit the bill nicely though if you can find one. I still think the EBS is stupidly overpriced, god knows who'll actually buy one, for less money you could get an Ashdown Little Bastard and an OK PA System! Eude[/quote] Its an Ampeg V4BH. 100w, 4x6L6. Lovely tone on these. I have the AV version.
  14. I love the 410 HE, especially with a GK700RBII !!
  15. I'll buy if it all falls through.......
  16. [quote name='Faithless' post='1145927' date='Mar 1 2011, 03:46 PM']Evenings for Thursday and Friday are sorted, but situation with Wednesday is not so good - can't seem to find a decent gig or a jam session that night..[/quote] Weds night blues jam at the Coach and Horses in Leyton. Best blues jam in town.
