I had the black one, sold it here recently, but the sunburst is much prettier, lovely basses, not enough strings....

Line 6 Studio 110, 75w 1x10, good sounding models, line in for MP3/CD, headphone and a proper modelled DI output that sounds very good recorded... it's a 1 foot cube.

You can have mine for £130...!

Might not be your bag, but the Line 6 Low down combos are very versatile for the money and the 2 Pro variants are plenty loud enough for gigs.

The 300 goes fit £180 odd second hand and the 400 2x10 goes about £250, I got my 400 for £200, and will be selling it shortly as I have a Barefaced based rig in production.

Loads of good tones, well built and cheap.

I met a fella recently who claimed to have a Jaydee Flying V guitar...now that's going to be unusual..

I played in a band in the 80's with a guitarist who had a JD Flying V, there was an explorer too I believe...

This is the only pic I can find, and you cant see the headstock, but it's definitely a JD, this would be 1980 or thereabouts, in Tamworth.

I bought an XTi1000 on ebay for £250, it's 1400w bridged into 4 ohms and I'll be using to to power my Big Twin T once it arrives. It's light and very clean.

My old Warwick 5, it's an 87 Thumb with the one piece bridge, EMG pups and gold hardware, and it was a monster... Sold it to a lovely fellow in the States who collects vintage Warwicks.

Sold it when I thought I'd given up playing seriously and bought a Geddy Lee Jazz and a Squire VMJ fretless, sold those to go back to 5 string when I realised I needed to play some more....!

Lovely bass...

How much for the dog?

I used an 800RB through the late 80's into an Ampeg 8x10 and a Trace 4x10, bi-amped. Very nice, clear and powerful, could have used a gain stage in the pre-amp but at the time it was just fine.

Lovely amps.

Sold my Squire VMJ fretless to Kenny, quick payment, no trouble at all.

highly recommended.

Rich.

The Squire is now sold.

Get your lovely Geddy Lee jazz while it's going hot...

Replied...

Thanks Al, yes they are lovely basses, just not enough strings for me in the end.

Monday bump...

Due to the fact I realised I need an extra string on my bass to compensate for various shortcomings, I'm selling my Geddy and Squire Jazzes.

The Geddy is in it's standard form, has been used a little, but it in good overall nick, a few scratches here and there, but nothing major. If you know the model you'll know what to expect.

The Squire is the Jaco clone and is almost pristine. It benefits a Gotoh 201 bridge and a set of Wizard 64 pickups. It's in need of a set up, but otherwise is excellent.

Looking for £500 for the Geddy and £225 for the Squire, both with gig bags.

I'm in London, in Ealing most days in the week, Islington evenings.

I'd rather not ship, but will at extra cost.

When you sing without headphones, you monitor your pitch by listening to both the sound through the bone and through the air, when you listen to headphones, the sound through the air is replaced with a version very slightly delayed by the recording system, the delay is usually imperceptible (unless you have severe latency problems) but it is enough to change your perception of the sound.

Many stutterers do not stutter when their voices are played back to them in real time, it's the same principle.

Simple solution is to seat one of the phones behind your ear and you'll hear a mixture of the track and your voice as you usually hear it. Some singers prefer not to use headphones and use monitors, Freddy Mercury famously used to record with a hand held mic standing between the monitors in the control room, of course you have to put the mic out of phase otherwise the spill is horrendous.....!

Geddy Lee says if you play fast enough it doesn't matter.....

I was at the O2, its a bad room to drive lots of bass into, and if Rush do anything else it's drive the bass, Geddy's sound has the sonic range of most bands all by itself...!!

I watched Prince's FoH sound guy wrestle with the bass during the first gig there a couple of years back, the problem is (according to live sound guys I know who have worked there) that the room is completely different when empty, as the audience are effectively the "walls" of the room. You have to rebalance the whole gig from the top after the crowd arrives. You could hear Rush's sound change quite dramatically as he sought to find the balance, and the band were clearly having monitor issues as well.

Didn't stop them from tearing the bloody roof off and delivering one of the best performances i've seen from them in 20 years, mind. Cracking gig.

Met up with SS73 and his brother, who took my spare tickets, great to meet you guys.

Geddy has some new Custom shop necks on his basses, hence the V logo in some shots and the new pearlescent block markers.

I had one of those in 1987, cracking rock bass, good luck.

[quote name='JMT3781' post='1075981' date='Jan 3 2011, 01:38 AM']yeah, ive run it through my 1000w bass rig, and it sounded great, not lacking at all. I'm not really desperate for the money.. but as someone with far too many basses that dont get played, it would be silly to start the same trick with keyboards lol..

i dont know, gonna have to AB at some point[/quote]

A/B is the way to go, most emulators sound pretty good, but none sound as good as the original IMO.

If it works for what you're doing, ditch the Moog.

Geddy Lee circa Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures.

Even his modern tone would do to be honest, but I grew up in the shadow of that awesome growl, and I'd love to sound like that.

Don't do anything with the Moog until you've compared the output sound through some serious bass speakers, I'd be really surprised if the Korg emulation comes close in terms of real bottom end response.

No doubting the Korg's capabilities, I have it on my iPad and it's a cracking little unit, but I've yet to find an emulation of anything that holds a candle to the original in audio terms.

None more black...

Godwhacker..!

SD odd lyrics!

Haitian Divorce is fab too.

I tried one when they first came out, sat it on top of an Ampeg 8x10, I didn't really notice a difference...

Ended up using a Hartke Transporter 2x10 with the ally cones, that had some cut to it!

Used them with an 800RB that had a variable x-over built in.
