I'd leave the cab on the floor and boost the mids a bit James. You can always angle it back a bit with some timber or a dead rabbit.

EBS Classic Pre / QSC PLX2 3102

This is a serious amp in excellent condition that would set you back over £800 new. Look here for specs etc. [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~QSC--PLX-3102~ID~4829.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Q...102~ID~4829.asp[/url]. £380 no £ offers but may swap for a mint condition Markbass SA450, Aguilar AG500 or something similar with cash adjustment. Would prefer to meet / deliver if it's a reasonable distance. Actual unit pictured here..

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='146607' date='Feb 25 2008, 02:35 PM']Trade for Iamp800?[/quote] Sorry Steve - no trades as stated. [quote name='obbm' post='146639' date='Feb 25 2008, 03:14 PM']If this is the one I think it is then it's a bit of a high class tart. I bought her from Walbasist and then sold her to Paul_C who sold her to .......... So what comes next Al.[/quote] Dunno really Dave. I gave in to Flanker's pleas to have his Epi 212NYC back and swapped it for two tiny Bergantino 112s - which I'm delighted with (and so is my back). I remember being at my happiest rig-wise (although I didn't realise it at the time ) when I had my LMII head and two Aggie GS112s, so I'm thinking something small, light and loud. At the moment I've got Epifani 502 / Markbass SA450 / Thunderfunk in my head. That said, I won't lose any sleep if this doesn't sell. -

I bought this off my good mate Flanker a couple of months ago, it's an amazing piece of kit but as usual, I bought it without thinking first and to be honest, it's way over the top for a Saturday night plonker like me. This is a serious pro rig in excellent condition - the volume on the amp has never been past 9 o' clock. The preamp is the much sought after EBS Classic V1 and it's nothing short of fabulous. It has a fantastic compressor built in and endless tone-shaping features. The amp is a QSC PLX2 3102 and it could part the hair on a pig's arse at 100 paces. It is light and seriously loud - specs from QSC site here; [url="http://www.qscaudio.com/products/amps/plx2/plx3102_specifications.htm"]http://www.qscaudio.com/products/amps/plx2...cifications.htm[/url] I would prefer to sell it as a unit and would like to recover the £800 I paid for it but in these impoverished times that's unlikely. So it's yours for [color="#FF0000"][b]£750 [/b][/color] c/w Gator case. It's a bargain at that price so no offers / swaps and it's strictly collect or meet only. I will accept £380 for the poweramp only and if that sells, I'll offer the preamp up separately later. More pics on request.

I went to Steve's house - and a very nice house it is. He took me up to his bedroom and twenty minutes later I left with the money. Ahem...Steve's a proper lad and a pleasure to do business with. Buy/sell with confidence.

I know I'm technically challenged so does anyone know how I can mute my bass when tuning up on stage with my Korg DTR1000? I use seperate pre/power and I'll bet I've just got the link in the wrong socket. Help muchly appreciated.

Sure thing spree, it'll be there

Be great to see you there Russ

[quote name='Rayman' post='144746' date='Feb 21 2008, 10:30 PM']Nice Al, very nice. Have you tried Thomastik flats? Nice bright click to them, not at all woolly like some flats I've tried, they were magic on that Lakland JO4 I had from Mike. Can you believe I'm on the brink of buying another Marcus Jazz? After selling the one I had from you, and regretting it about 5 minutes later. If I don't get it, a Lakland DJ4 might be next on the hitlist, haven't decided yet.[/quote] Hello mate, they are TI flats I've got on it and I love 'em to bits but the others don't like the sound of flats. They're a funny bunch - I'm trading my Epi 212 cab for two Bergantino 112s today and they're up in arms about it. After all, Berg cabs are crap aren't they

I've played this bass - it's a stunner. Envious of Preston. :blush:

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='142638' date='Feb 18 2008, 06:20 PM']That's a very nice looking P you have there Alan. A Thumper arrived for me today for my new 'project'. Peter[/quote] Thanks Peter, you'll love the Thumper - it's a revelation

[quote name='BassBunny' post='142718' date='Feb 18 2008, 08:26 PM']Hi Alan, we had a good night as well. Looking forward to going back. Hope to bump into you at the St Annes do if you are going. Nick is hoping to go as well, I believe.[/quote] Yeh - Nick's coming with me. We're really looking forward to it. -
Hi Luke, at the moment I have this P, my Lakland Darryl Jones and a Bongo 5HS. The DJ is my main gigging bass - it hits the spot and looks cool too - even on an old ugly fat tw*t like me.

[quote name='cetera' post='142357' date='Feb 18 2008, 11:25 AM']VERY nice! Especially with the bridge cover... Aren't the 'Thumpers' more mid-rangey/brighter than normal P pickups? I thought for a more trad soul sound/flats you'd want the Wizard 'Trad' pickups?[/quote] The Thumper's exactly what I need ie; bright and punchy but I can still get a trad sound if I roll the tone off so best of both really.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='142034' date='Feb 17 2008, 06:42 PM']How'd it go in Bootleggers Alan? I was knackered and gave it a miss.[/quote] We had a really good night Peter - except there were no monitors so that made it a bit challenging. Never mind mate, we're at DD's in a couple of weeks and back at Bootleggers soon.

[quote name='ianwild16' post='141842' date='Feb 17 2008, 12:24 PM']You wanna check out the NWB site a bit more often! - 'Wrecked' posted a blog about this venue a few weeks ago![/quote] Yeh - I suppose you're right Ian, a bit of due dilligence wouldn't have gone amiss eh. [quote name='wayne58' post='141903' date='Feb 17 2008, 02:42 PM']Shame Al, another good venue bites the dust in the North West. It's the old... landlord does a bunk and takes his diary with him problem. Tantrum are a great young blues band though, could have been worse.[/quote] Yeh - gigs are going down like flies Cameron but we did find a great new one (for us) on Thursday night at Bootleggers in Kendal - great pub, own PA and lights, great crowd too - even on a Thursday. The Royal Oak was THE place to play back in the dark days when I was a guitarist with The Hugh Jarre Soul Band.

In any other soul band they'd be fine but I'm responsible for a lot of the melody as well as the low end in our four piece band so I need a more articulate, brighter sound that I can't quite get with flats.

[quote name='Soulfinger' post='141793' date='Feb 17 2008, 08:47 AM']Tasty! Did you get to hear the bass before the mods? I´m wondering how much difference better electronics can make in a MIM bass.[/quote] I did about 3 or 4 gigs with the standard pup and it sounded fine. But then the Thumper went in and wow - what a difference. Louder, punchier and brighter with a real 'openness' to the sound. I would recommend this pup for every P bass and the guy at Wizard is a pleasure to deal with. [quote name='mikeh' post='141794' date='Feb 17 2008, 08:53 AM']You got the thumper sorted then? I've played this and it is a stunning P. Sounded HUGE. I think when I get my next P, I'll be sticking a Thumper in it.[/quote] I did Mike - The guy at Wizard sent me a replacement before I sent the first one back. Im really pleased with it now except I'll have to take the flats off if I want to gig with it 'cos the others don't like the sound. Sheesh

Na - we went back to our 'home pub' to watch an excellent young band called Tantrum. Turned out alright in the end - paying for it right now
