Dropped you a PM bud

Hi people... My first post in the Double Bass/EDB forum! Woohoo :-) I'm thinking about buying my first... Something different, I play rock and so will work I into the music I play. I was after something with some serious punch and after some google searching heard some reviews of the Dean Pace. It sounds to be exactly what I'm after. The Bass Gallary have a previously owned one in, which is in fantastic condition and they are asking £499 and can ship to me. Questions... Anyone here have experience with them and canfirm the build and sound quality to be reasonable? And, Given finding one at new retail now seems to be impossible, is the asking price reasonable condsidering what these may of gone for when you bought yours? Shep

I used to own a BBG5 about 10 years ago... I think that's what it was called. Was awesome. Edit... Was one of these same finish as well. A mate has it now, covered in dust, may ask for it back [url="http://www.langamers.it/mandricus/musica/immagini/YahamaBBg5A.jpg"]http://www.langamers.it/mandricus/musica/i...YahamaBBg5A.jpg[/url] These caught my eye when they came out with the light up volume pots etc... And ceramic looking White is always a hi-tech winner. Plus you don't see the 5's that often. Shep
-
I have the option to pick one of these these up, but the 5 strin version in White at a knock down price... And I'm tempted. Want a bass I can take out that's not worth over 2k like me others... One I can be a little leas protective over... Bit is still eye catching. This could be the one!
-
Saw one go on eBay around the £500 marker a year or so ago... If this was that price I'd have it now! I think the valuation is about right for Its 'worth', but getting what an instrument is worth at the mo seems impossible... Bump for what looks to be a perfect example of a fantastic bass Shep -
Cheers dude... 1. The compressor on the Fafner is perfect for my uses... 2. Something I have thought about a fair bit and a serious possibility! 3. Tried it, not keen 4. 2 dirt pedals are more than enough for me 5. Tried it, not keen 6. Had a Boss Phase Shifter recently. Fun but never got any real use for it. Option 2 could be the winner!!! Or maybe I'll leave it blank, just to be different.

[quote]Ps. Still got an empty space on that pedalboard [/quote] I know and it's bugging me. My options at the mo, for a solution I will actually use... 1. Take the tuner off and try and fit what's left on a smaller board, maybe PedalTrain JNR (if it will fit), and get a rack tuner. I can prob live without the Octave as well as it's fun but doesn't get used much. 2. Get an envelope filter with a long very deep sweep as the DiscumBOBulator only does a soft sweep. Kinda miss my old DOD fx25b and it's monsterous sweep. 3. Get something else no bigger than a Boss pedal that I don't really need but can pick up for a bargain price and try to find a use for it, maybe a trem? Shep

Stunning instrument. Plays, looks an sounds like it should be worth well over 1k. How they produce them for this price is beyond me. I can vouch for this being a top bit of kit and one of the best to get you into playing 6ers. Shep -
[quote name='Gwilym' post='759365' date='Feb 27 2010, 07:33 PM']thanks for the sentiments! personally, i think it's a tough time to sell, unless you are selling stuff at rock bottom prices. Also I think things typically sell on BC for less than market value, because sellers don't explore other avenues, and trust this marketplace and therefore are willing to take the hit to keep things in the family, as it were. Admittely I'm not. I've priced it at what I think is fair given what it is - a pretty unique instrument in near mint condition, and sounds fantastic too. My motivation for selling is/was out of guilt of owning more basses that I can really justify, although I'm starting to think I could justify keeping it now, we'll see in a week or so when I get back from the alps [/quote] I agree. Not the best time to sell. Bit holding out and not selling rock bott for the sale of selling is the right way to go! I love the instrument. We spoke about it before, then when you were in the position to sell I could t muster the funds. I see lots of basses that crop up on here, but this prob my all time fav, I loved it when you first popped it up and still peek at the thread all the time. If it was a couple of hundred quid cheaper I'd have access to the funds, but it would also be an uber bargain and of sold long ago... I will find a way to own this Shep -
How is this still here!!?
-
I still peek at this every bloody day!! Wish I could find a way to pay for it... Can I temp you in a range of my other non-bass worldly belongings.... I may go as far as the shirt I'm wearing then a monthly payment plan to make up the difference?... I'll get boxing my Xbox 360 up now lol -
Mmmmmmmmmm pretty

I'd love a 5 fretless... But money is tight... and I'm a Luthier whore :-) Unless I can persuade myself otherwise :-)

[quote name='NJE' post='757899' date='Feb 26 2010, 09:25 AM']Well I have to say that is one classy looking setup, you must be so pleased with it. Not far off what I am aiming for setup wise, already have EBS 2x12 but the size and weight of their heads is keeping me at bay. Hoping they will do a small compact head like Markbass/Eden/Euphonic. How do you find the Overwater with the wenge and maple combination? I had a Warwick which was maply body and wenge neck, I imagine it is quite puncy and growly? I love my Progress but find it quite polite sounding and have been thinking about getting another made with some different woods.[/quote] Yeah, the heads are heavy, but I did the sound is worth it. I was a MarkBass user before, and it was a tough call to go for a heavier head but I dint regret it at all. The Evolution sounds amazing, the best low B I have ever heard, and I'll stand by that. Has some serious low end punch. Fanastic for a rock sound. Only set back is that it weighs a ton! When you compare it to most other basses it's a serious back breaker... Due to the huge amount of Wenge involved...
-
Hey dude! The 212 is fantastic. I was dubious at first having never used 12's before but wow! I doubt I'd ever need a 410 again, it is responsive to as much top end as 10's, and to my ear has a smoother bottom. Plus is slightly smaller and lighter than 410! The Neo range tweeter is fantastic as well... Very impressed with the sound and the Neo range really are a million miles lighter than they look, and really well made. If you ever near Notts, come give it a blast! Shep
-
All being well... Right place at the right time and all that, I should be adding another EBS Neo cab... A 1x15 to the rig, getting 2ohm goodness out of the fafner. Will keep things updated and get a pic of all the gear if it all comes off... Just picked up an Auralex Gramma to pop it all on as well... Just need a 5 fretless now to male all right
-
My goodness I like the 6... And I really want a fretless... Beautiful instrument! Have a bump one! -
Welcome to the forum!! My goodness I love that Basslab one... Me wants!!!!!

Intuitive three-pickup all-options switching regime

Is this not similar to what the huge over the top looking pickups on Enfield basses do?? [url="http://www.enfieldguitars.com/html/pickup-new.htm"]http://www.enfieldguitars.com/html/pickup-new.htm[/url] [url="http://www.enfieldguitars.com/Enfield%20instructions%20page1.pdf"]http://www.enfieldguitars.com/Enfield%20in...ons%20page1.pdf[/url] -
The Neo range are slighty mid shy compared to thier proline cousins, bu I actually prefer that. The do a very good sold clean bottom end, but also handle a well tweeked EQ if you want to recreate your Ampeg clunk. I've used ALOT of cabs... And was an ampeg and Markbass player for quite some time. But EBS have taken the lead by a lon way for me these days... And they are spook light for the power they handle!

[quote]"Yes, make a downpayment, but if you don't find the instrument to be devastatingly good, I'll refund your money, because I am SO convinced that this instrument is SO good that the next player through the door will fall over themselves to buy it" How many luthiers would pass that test?[/quote] Bernie @GB said pretty much that. Even a month after I'd had it he still said if I changed my mind he'd take it back... So it's possible. Needless to say his confidence is supported by the fact that his basses are amazing and there is Zero chance I was ever giving it him back!

Ebs Neo 212. Awesome cab, uber light weight. Handles 600w. Tweeter if you need one... An there's one for sale on this forum if I'm not mistaken. I own one and it's bloody fantastic!
-
The above is true... But I find as a rule of thb the resale value of custom gear is pretty similar to that of comparatively priced high end gear. As long as youndont have your name as an inlay Just bear in mind you'll never get back what you pay for it. I'd say make sure you play a few instruments from the Luthier your looking to make the instrumen for you. They may make different models, but they will have 'that feel'. that's what I did, and I own two custom Luthier builds... And they are truely stunning. Shep
