  1. [quote name='Kongo' post='506008' date='Jun 5 2009, 12:47 AM']I could use something with a sweepable mid, like a "Pre-shape" that Trace Elliot do but now everyone installs them (Peavey with "Contour" and Markbass with "VPF").
    So if you could suggest something I could use with Parametric EQ and sweepable mid that'd be cool.
    What's the model you use you are on about?[/quote]

    Well besides the ne-1 I've listed here, I'm not aware of any other external parametric eq devices. But having a sweepable mid control where you can select what frequency you wish to cut or boost is just as good as fully parametric eq. The [url="http://www.bass.se/2007/microbass.htm"]EBS microbass II[/url] is something I'd highly recommend if you wanted greater control over how you shape your sound. Also, it acts as a line select, excellent D.I. and a few other things. Unfortunately, you pay for all these features :) I noticed a few in the for sale section recently.

    I seriously regret selling mine!

  2. It's a great bit of kit if your amp is indeed minus a semi-para. mid control. It's a real shame that Yamaha stopped production a while ago. I guess most people didn't know what it did or rather never saw a use for it. I had an Ebs outboard pre with a sweepable mid control and now a Genz Benz head with the same. It's a really useful control to have.

    Also, this is sold to the gent from the continent :)

  3. I 'd definitely suggest playing with the controls on the pedal as well as the on-board eq. and see if that makes a difference. There's no reason why it being a fretless should make much a diference. As someone suggested, it may be the output of the bass which is causing trouble.

    Although the new Mxr pedal sounds pretty damn good here-

    the post is some while ago, but is the device still available?

    Hi,

    Actually, yes this is still available. I had decided to keep it for those 'just in case' moments but it hasn't seen the light of day since posting the ad. Shoot me a Pm if you're interested.

  5. Thought this may be of interest. Jerzy's take on the single-cut design. He's currently running a competition for the naming of the new design with the prize being the prototype. It might not be my cup of tea but if he's giving it away..... :)

    Details here-

  6. [quote name='benwhiteuk' post='454344' date='Apr 4 2009, 08:47 PM']That bass looks great, and due to the gloss finish I’m almost certain those marks can be completely polished out by a French Polisher to make it look as good as new. Good luck with the sale :)[/quote]



    My thoughts exactly :rolleyes: . The scratches haven't penetrated the finish so can be buffed out with minimal cost.

  7. Sterling must have gained a little ground against the Euro, as 1750euro now equates to £1,555 GBP. A difference of £85 to the price I quoted on March 29th!

    If anyone is thinking of a cash offer, put 1750euro into the currency converter at [url="http://www.xe.com"]http://www.xe.com[/url] and see what the current rate is.

  8. [quote name='Rayman' post='453575' date='Apr 3 2009, 06:09 PM']That sir, is a fine bass guitar.[/quote]

    Why thank you, it's a bit of a looker alright.

    Weekend bump. Plenty of trade offers but all have been with a 35" scale. Are there any 34"ers out there!? :)


    Jay.

  9. Yes and no, Dirk. Yes it's a fantastic bass, build, playability, sound etc.; easily the best I've come across although the 'Bartolini sound' took some time to get used to. And the no, I'm missing my high C. :)

    I have it up for trade/sale here at the moment and I have my eyes firmly set on your Status! I doubt I'll sell it though with the current state of the sterling against the Euro.

    Anyway, back on topic. I'm sure people here could do with a bit more info on this bass- pups, scale length, and does it have the Marleaux programmable eq?

    Easy,

    Jay.

  10. [quote name='phsycoandy' post='448960' date='Mar 29 2009, 09:00 PM']Not a great fan of Sei's, but that is lovely and the nicest ive seen, if a tad expensive as the seller states. damn the exchange rate.[/quote]


    Damn the exchange rate indeed! A custom Overwater has never been so affordable, at least from my perspective :)
