[quote name='charic' post='965041' date='Sep 22 2010, 09:56 PM']Damn.... that guy works quick![/quote] Yup! It was a shame to hear that the other 6 string Spitfire (A neck through) which was commissioned after mine is finished before mine though. I'm not annoyed because it 'jumped the queue', I'm annoyed because I have to edit all of my claims of 'The 1st 6 string Spitfire' thoughout the thread to 'The 1st 6 string BOLT-ON Spitfire' :-) Shep

[b]SOLD[/b] I was lucky enough to have one of the first BG500's in the UK, and you don't have to look around the net very much to see that everyone thinks these combo's are bloody fantastic! - And they are! Super powerful and packed with features. At a punchy 500w with 2 x 10" speakers, Tube drive, Compressor, Tuner and 3 storable presets for EQ, this is a combo capable of coping for gigs big & small as well as studio work. For sometime I have been an EBS user. This is my 1st deviation from EBS and while it fills it's role, I have to be honest about the fact that I do miss the tone of my EBS rig use for other projects. I do need something to live at the studio though and so I am going to put this up for trade/part-ex with another EBS Head (as I have 2 cabs an one can live at the studio). The BG500 is spotless, it was delivered to the studio and has been there ever since, used twice a week by me only. Not a mark on it & less than 3 months old. This is the more expensive 210 speaker version. What I'm after... EBD HD350 EBS Fafner (Yes another one!) + cash your way EBS TD650 + cash your way Will consider… EBS Drome Combo (Prefer 15" but will consider 12") EBS Gorm Combo 'Possibly' a Markbass head (Will consider most of the range) [b]SOLD[/b]. Asking £450 Collected. As this is not a light combo it will be both expensive and hard to accurately protect during shipping, as such I'd prefer not to, but will do so at buyers expense and risk. That's over a £100 off retail for a combo that has not left the room it was delivered to after arrival 3 months ago! In fact its probably been played less than most of them sat in music stores around the country! (apologies for the pic… only had the iPhone handy. If people particularly want better ones let me know!)

I seemed to of let this thread slip away! Silly me. Keep adding guys. Some amazing stuff here. There is now also a facebook group thread that a fellow BassChatter has started. If you have a Facebook Group please add to that thread also and support the bands there as well! My newest project… Our Helical Mind A 2-piece funk/D&B/Break Beat kinda thing. Good fun and I get to use all of my pedals! Still in its early days, but the tracks are getting there and we are planning a 'proper' recording and a pile of gigs from the end of next month. Both myself and the drummer are from a rock background (Former touring drummer with 'The Meatloaf Story' & 'Circus Du Vampire Rocks') so its been hard to break some old ways… but we are happy with how things are going and have already had a few MC's and local Drum & Bass bars/clubs approach us about doing spots between DJ sets… Myspace - [url="http://www.myspace.com/ourhelicalmind"]http://www.myspace.com/ourhelicalmind[/url] I've already sent friend requests to pretty much all of you that have contributed to this thread so I can see what new updates are happening in your musical worlds.

Spoke with Bernie earlier today, had a good chat about bits and bobs on the phone. Bass is almost ready for the spray shop and we finalised a few details like fret markers (or lack of in this case) and GB logo colours etc. Bernie thinks the staining on the top and headstock facing will be done by mid-next week and he'll see me photos before finalising it and starting lacquering, so fingers crossed next update will be around this time next week. I'm told the bass should be in my hands 3-4 weeks! Fingers crossed.

[quote name='funkypenguin' post='963936' date='Sep 21 2010, 11:05 PM']this looks more and more gorgeous with every update!!! [/quote] Cheers dude. A few more updates soon then hopefully… just to make it extra gorgeous before its finished! :-) -
Dood. I work for AudioSpares. Rack Shelves are my friend. Let me know what you need and I'll arrange a 10% discount code for you… Maybe more if you ask nice :-) [url="http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?productid=1443&cat=0&page=1"]http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?pro...at=0&page=1[/url] - This kinda thing…?

[quote name='billphreets' post='963218' date='Sep 21 2010, 12:38 PM']can i chime in here and proclaim my love for the fat analog sound of the OC-2 without causing another backlash like i unwittingly did in the envelope filter thread ???[/quote] Thats asking a lot! :-) In fairness, I have to agree though. I do use my MarkBass Super Synth for much of my Octave duties, but the OC2 still gets a look in and to be honest I still think its the best all round octave pedal (as long as you want a 'Synth' style sound).

Loving this. Fantastic work! You can build me a 6 string variant next if you like

I'm off to work now… drop me a PM today to remind me and I'll write up a basic user guide in as non-techie a way as possible… Overview… to save the sound, set it up on screen. Hold down the left mouse button over the preset number (eg 1-9) along the bottom until it flashes. That means the preset it saved TO THE COMPUTER (eg if you change patch now then the data is not lost). Then click on 'Store to Pedal'. Highlight the patch number you want to transfer (eg. the one you just saved) and click save (Or 'OK' I can't recall) and thats the preset sent to the pedal. There are other things you can do but I'll detail them later. One of the sounds I use quite a bit… [url="http://www.myspace.com/ourhelicalmind"]http://www.myspace.com/ourhelicalmind[/url] - Listen to the track called 'Belly Door Snippet'. Thats Preset number 7 from my list of settings here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=102594&view=findpost&p=957556"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=957556[/url] Shep

[quote name='EskimoBassist' post='962769' date='Sep 20 2010, 09:42 PM']Lots of win. Thought about the Moog LPF? Or do you just use your Super Synth for that? I know it's a small thing, but I would get a bit annoyed not being able to fit my tuner on my board![/quote] I would like an LPF, but with the Synth and the Groove Regulator and 2 octave options I can do lots of LPF style sounds. So far I'm coping without one... And... I have no space! Lol. Not fitting the tuner on the board is a little annoying. But, it's kind of an 'add-on'... If I use my TC amp it has a tuner built in, and if I use my EBS rig then I have a Korg Rack tuner, so I'll only use a pedal tuner if I'm amp sharing/using someone elses rig.

[quote name='gilmour' post='962745' date='Sep 20 2010, 09:27 PM']I'm loving the look of this bass I think it looks awesome and just assumed that it was a clever design feature you'd spec'd because in my head it really makes sense. If you'd never said anything we'd have all thought it deliberate [/quote] You're prob right! It is a pretty nice design feature, almost makes the most of the smart 'filled-tube' side markers. -

I believe you are correct with that being CT basses... I think his are almost 'oval' shaped. This is not quite that major, but it's very professionally done, perfectly even the whole way. Very impressed. -

They are indeed. It was an unforeseen addition, but required due to the radius of the fingerboard clipping into the side dots due to the massive width of the board... Thankfully Robbies eye for detail has chamfered the board edges off in a way that looks great and feels very natural. I'm actually glad the situation came up as I really do love the way it looks. -
