So, as suggests, I'm looking for the pedal that comes with the pre amp. I have contacted SWR, but was told that they don't have any. I find that doubtful, but what can I say if they tell me they have none? Anywhere/anyone you could think of trying?

Fender USA Precision Bass *SOLD.PLEASE CLOSE*
FuNkShUi replied to FuNkShUi's topic in Basses For Sale
Yeh same pics mate. Im a terrible photographer so i recycled them. Hope you dont mind. Its got the silver pearl effect scratch plate on it right now. Dont know the "proper" name. Ive got a spare black one, but the Tort isnt here anymore. It is however, still a great bass. Ive just got a Limelight P though, which is going to be the bass i use. Its fantastic. So this one moves on to a new home -
This situation has happened to me and a few mates before. I always pack my bass away as soon as i stop playing it. But our guitarist doesnt bother. It was a jam night and some guy who went up after us (he was in his mid 40s id say), just picked up the guitar. Didnt ask, and didnt say thanks after. Just basic manners really isnt it? Well our guitarist waited for them to finish playing and sit back down. He then walked over to their table and sat down next to the guy who played his guitar, didnt introduce himself, picked up the guys pint and started sipping it slowly. Helped himself to a few pork scratchings, finished the pint, then got up and walked back over. They didnt say a word. We were in stitches. It probably helped that my friend is a big lad. 6ft 3, 18 stone jobby.

As it says in the title, this is a Fender Precision Made in US of A in 2004. Heres some pics: [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/USAP2.png.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/USAP1.png.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/USAP3.png.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/USAP4.png.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/USAP5.png.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/USAP6.png.html"][/url] This is a good quality bass, priced fairly i think. It has the S1 switching option on it, although im still not sure what that does! It has a different scratch plate on it at the minute, but i have the old one, and will include both in the trade sale of it. Ideally id like a trade. Looking for a similar standard jazz. Id prefer collection, but i can post. As always, trials always welcomed, and any questions, shoot me a PM Cheers for looking

Cool Reminds me of "I Against I" .Dont know why really. Used to listen to their album "headcleaner" a lot when i was bit younger. Think your singer sounds like the Millencoin singer a little bit too. Think its the way he phrases his lyrics? Dunno. Good stuff though

How do you know when a bass just doesn't have "that sound"?
FuNkShUi replied to Grangur's topic in Bass Guitars
I know its been said many times before, but what sounds good to you in a quieter,practice eviroment, might sound terrible in a band mix. I know the best settings to give myself best presence in a mix, but its certainly not the EQ i would set if i was playing in the house. So maybe the streamer is just better suited to being played in a band environment? That said, it could be as simple as you just prefer the PBass sound! And if that is the case, i would personally sell the streamer and buy something with a P Pup configuration. Why not? Doesnt matter how expensive your streamer is, if the problem is you dont ike the sound it gives you, buy a bass for that money that you do like -
Ill try get some pictures up on the weekend. Looking forward to getting it though!

I think it does depend on if you want to play covers or orignals too. IME anytime ive tried to go the originals route, its always been harder to get anything going. Whether thats just down to the mentality of people wanting to pay purely originals, i dont know. The two most successful, and by sucessful i just mean gigging 2 or 3 times a week, bands ive been in were always made up of people i know. The definite bonus of this is if someone isnt pulling their weight, theres no tip toeing around the subject. You can tell your mate exactly the situation. "Stop being a dick and learn the songs". etc I would say try and get people involved that you know, or know of. But i'm aware it isnt always that straight forward. The current band im in is all made up of people i knew. But of the 5 of us, i didnt know 3 of them played instruments before i started asking around. So ask around. Be proactive and get the word out there that your een to get something going. Cant do no harm!

Loud cabs to match Genz Benz Streamliner 900
FuNkShUi replied to MonkeyTrick's topic in Amps and Cabs
The big twin t in the wanted section is mine. Can confirm it would crush the rest of the band. I've used a Carvin bx with it, a little Mark II and I'm currently using a Marcus miller pre with a peavey 1600w power amp and the volume has never needed to go halfway in any situation. It's usually between 2&3 with MM I've been using. -

Thanks gents Looks like LEDs are the wy forward. We wont concern ourselves with outdoor gigs as we probably only do 2 maybe 3 a year. Cheers

Very useful info. HJ think i will probably go with your suggestion. Two of those will hopefully suffice. If we want/need to add more, we can always do so later on down the line. Thanks gents

So we are looking to get a little bit of lighting sorted for the band. Problem being, none of us hve any experience whatsoever with lighting! This just came up on Gumtree, and as its reatively local thought it could be a good solution for us: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/stage-and-band-lighting-equipment-bargain/1076747770"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/stage-and-band-lighting-equipment-bargain/1076747770[/url] Does this seem like a good deal? I think its pretty much what we need. Cheers

Firstly, this is the bass: [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG-20140717-WA0013.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG-20140717-WA0007.jpg.html"][/url] I can take more on request, these are just what i had on my desktop already. The bass is in excellent condition, with very few marks. One feature i love is it has dual single coil pickups in the bridge position with switchable wiring which opens up the tonal possibilities even further (with the 3-band EQ, it can do almost anything). Heres some official Spec straight from Clovers website: BODY wood: two piece american red alder body straplocks: lockable standard style straplocks bridge: chrome plated brass bridge finish: selected glossy polyester finish NECK scale: 864 mm (34") wood: bolt on canadian hard rock maple neck fingerboard: maple fingerboard / mother of pearl dots fingerboard radius: 457 mm (18") frets: 24 medium sized frets trussrod: double dual action trussrod machine heads: chrome, capsuled machine heads finish: handpolished silk matte polyurethane finish [u]Controls[/u] [b][1] Push/Pull Volume Control[/b] By pulling the volume knob, the active preamp will be bypasssed (true hardware-bypass), which deactivates the tone controls. The bass works without power supply (if required). In case that all tone controls are at the center position, your hear no tonal difference between the active and the passive mode. [b][2] Pickup Pan Control Tone Controls: [3] Treble · [4] Mid[/b][b] · [/b][b][5] Bass[/b] The center position (at 12:00) is flat, rotating the control clockwise will boost and rotating the control counterclockwise will cut the tone. [b][6] pickup preselector[/b] The pickup preselector mixes the bridge pickup and the middle pickup together. In towards the neck position, the middle pickup is activated, in towards the bridge position, the bridge pickup is activated. In middle position the bridge pickup and the middle pickup are routed in parallel. [b][7] booster mode switch[/b] The Avenger booster circuit adds an extra amount of ultra low end and aggressive mid punch (bridge- and middle pickup are routed in series). It is activated in towards the bridge position switch setting and overwrites all settings done by the pickup preselector [6]. The booster circuit works strictly analogue without electronical boosts and is also available in passive playing modes. [b]Tech note:[/b] All pickup settings are humfree. PICKUPS neck position: DELANO JSBC-HE custom pickup (twin coil in-line humcanceller pickup) bridge position: 2x DELANO JSBC-HE custom pickup (twin coil in-line humcanceller pickup) switchable to single coil rear, single coil front, parallel- & serial mode ELECTRONICS DELANO custom three-band active electronics with ultra low noise circuit bypassable to full passive operation CONTROLS 1x volume (push-pull), 1x balance, 1x bass, 1x mid, 1x treble 1x coilsplitting mini-switch, 1x power mode switch DIMENSIONS string spacing @ bridge: 20 mm (0,79") +- 0,5 mm string spacing @ nut: 11 mm (0,43") neck width @ nut: 43 mm (1,69") neck width @ 24th fret: 63 mm (2,48") body length: 502 mm (19,76") overall length: 1115 mm (43,90") This bass also has a 3D bridge, which means it can be adjusted in height aswell as spacing to be a flexible as possible. Plenty of information about them on that website too. I will of course accept a cash sale, but im looking for a trade ideally. Only thing im adamant on is that it has to be 4 string. I never get any use out of 5s. Warwicks are top of my wish list. As always, trial of the bass is welcomed, as are any questions. Cheers
