  1. Didn't somebody on here have a very nice fodera!? Like an AJ presentation model...that has to be the most expensive rrp.
  2. I sent my custom hybrid 8 string to spain and it was fine. All in a hardcase and packaged nicely it cost about £70 with interparcel with insurance for £1400 or something. I always make sure i have a few emails and their contact details and speak with the other person on the phone (A land line if possible) and when going through paypal i get them to send an invoice through first.
  3. Bumparella... Also, I may trade the desk for an ibook/powerbook/macbook/macbookpro...with cash either way depending on what it is! Who knows...someone may have two, or for some crazy reason want to get rid of theirs!
  4. Finally got this bass from Parcelforce...WOW! A few more chips on the bodywork than i was expecting...but it's not about looks is it!? The electronics upgrade has turned this already fine instrument in a BEAST! I'm not sure if it the Nordstrand Dual Coil pickup or Bee Pre is the main contributor, or just a combination of the both, but the output is much higher than the stock electronics. And the tone is lovely and full, and very very quiet in noise terms. When rolling the bass (or any control for that matter) full on, the tone is every usable. Personally I'm not a fan of the setup and strings but that can be easily changed. Just having the extra tone control options on the bass is very nice. I always liked having a very simple volume, tone layout, but the additional features the previous owner has added has only enhanced the sounds you can get out of this bass. The only thing left to do now is buy a pack of Warwick Blacks w/high C and a nice low setup and I'm back in business...I may have to let my Spector go to get another one of these with the same upgrade and replace the fretboard for a fretted one I like it so much! I would definitely recommend this upgrade to anyone with a GWB35 who feels their bass doesn't have enough oomph! Note: I forgot it even had push/pull for passive and for a different mid freq...I'm off to try that now!
  5. [quote name='crez5150' post='207100' date='May 27 2008, 10:30 AM']yeah it was the series 2 xd I was referring too.... I have the series one and was after a series two.... thanks anyway[/quote] No problem. Cheers.
  6. Hi, it is this one: [url="http://www.soundcraft.com/product_sheet.asp?product_id=38"]Spirit 328[/url]. I believe there was only one series of 328, the one they released afterwards was the 328XD (Which was blue). If you are referring to software, it is 1.something, although it can be upgraded no problem to 2. I never did this as the situation was if it's not broke, don't fix it! Unless you mean something else about the series that I don't know.
  7. I'm moving now; so I've decided to sell my recording setup as I don't use it as much as I now have access to a studio when I need it. Everything is in good or great condition and has only been used in a non-smoking environment.

[i]Price:[/i] [s]£700[/s] £650 +Collection (or courier if required) [i]Comments:[/i] Very easy to use automated desk. Some of the best mic pres available on a mixer.

Used with the G1D Divided Pickup Unit for guitar, or the B1D Divided Pickup Unit for bass, the G50 is much more than a "patch" that lets you sort-of play synthesizers from your chosen instrument. It seamlessly integrates your guitar into the world of MIDI for unprecedented musical freedom and scope. What Do You Need? If you play 6-string electric or steel-string acoustic guitar, you'll need the G1D Divided Pickup Unit; if you play bass (4-,5- or even 6-string), the B1D Divided Pickup Unit. Both pickups provide a number of attachment options that allow optimum installation on a variety of instruments (e.g. you can use special non-marring adhesive pads if you don't want to drill even tiny holes in your precious axe). The B1D can be set up so that you can remove and replace the pickup whenever you like without having to readjust the pickup height. You'll also need the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter - the "brains" of the system - and a MIDI tone generator or synthesizer for sound. Possible systems range from simple to very complex, according to your individual musical requirements. * Memory: 128 * Guitar Setup: Playing Style, Note On Level, Note Off Level, Velocity, Chromatic, Transpose, Pitch Bend Range * External Tone Generator Setup: Program Number, Program Bank MSB, LSB, Volume, Pan, Assignable Control Number 1, 2, Assignable Control Value 1, 2 * Real Time Control: Split, Split Memory 2 Number, Memory Location, Picking Position Control, Picking Front Position Value, Picking Rear Position Value, Touch Control, Touch Sensitivity, Sustain/Hold Pedal * System Setup: Input Gain, MIDI Channel, Tuning Pitch * Other: G1D & B1D Up/Down Button Function Settings (Data Entry, Program Number, Octave Shift) Chromatic Tuner, Demo Program Type (User, MU series, VL70-m, VL 1-m Version 2), MIDI Bulk Receive and Transmit * Operation: Union jack LED x 1, 7 segment LED x 3, Mode LED x 3, Panel Switch x 8, Power Switch * Connections: DIVIDED Input Jack, MONO SYNTH Input Jack, GUITAR DIRECT OUT Jack, MIDI IN/OUT Jack, SUSTAIN/HOLD Jack, DC-IN Jack * Power Supply: KPA3 AC adaptor * Accessory: 13 Pin Cable: 7 m * Dimensions (W x D x H): 482.6 x 201.8 x 44.0 mm (19" x 8" x 1-3/4") * Weight: 2.2 kg (4 lbs., 14 oz.) [i]Condition:[/i] Great except, the on switch is permanently on, fully working. Pickup as far as I'm aware has all the different types to attach to bass. [i]RRP:[/i] Alot at the time [i]Price:[/i] £180 (Price deduced by how much others I have seen go for, and a bit cheaper then) [i]Comments:[/i] Play midi from your electric bass. It really does work well. [size=4][b]ART Coolswitch ABY Pedal[/b][/size] [i]Condition:[/i] Excellent, fully working.

Amazing...Y!? because I don't need it as I use a PJB which has two inputs. I would prefer collection of the items, especially the mixer as it will cost quite a bit. More than welcome for people to come and look at the items, I am based in Birmingham.
  8. [quote name='urb' post='202902' date='May 20 2008, 02:55 PM']Matthew Garrison band - with Tribal Tech keys man Scott Kinsey and drum monster Horatio 'El Negro' Hernandez - play Charlie Wright's International bar in near Old Street tube, Saturday 7 June - will be an amazing gig. Mike[/quote] Arrrgh I think I'm in Ireland!! What a crock of ****! Three of my favourite players, together!
  9. I can't wait to try one of these bad boys... Although, I'm not a fan of the actual look of the amp, including those handles on the front, but you just know it is going to sound mean! 600w at 4ohms and 9" wide * 8" deep * 3" high. Nice.
  10. Hey, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11325&hl=spector"]What about something like this?[/url] I've finally decided to take the plunge and get a GWB1 and get it fretted, but its no doubt going to take some serious funds. So prob gonna have to let this go. PM me if your interested.
  11. [b]Today: WORLD MUSIC[/b] 62 varied titles from around the world listed. Lots of of the Rough Guide series which is a great way to check out music from different countries. Also, lots of Colombian Salsa and other great music for bassists to check out. Check it out here:[url="http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZpumpandschnitzel"]My eBay Listings[/url] and/or add me as a [url="http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?AcceptSavedSeller&mode=0&preference=0&sellerid=pumpandschnitzel&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D230253861047&ssPageName=STRK:MEFS:ADDVI"]favourite seller[/url] as I will be listing every week as long as I can get to a computer. [b]Next Sunday & the following Sunday: THE MUSIC KNOWN AS JAZZ[/b] Yes, the j,a, double z. I have quite a lot so I doubt I will be able to list it all for one week, it might even be a month of jazz!! I have some pretty special box sets that will be going up and a very large part of the Atlantic Masters/Warners collection to go up. A lot of styles of jazz will be represented-who knows, maybe TBBC might find something he likes!? Bilbo...I know you have been waiting for this one!
  12. [quote name='kevbass' post='200863' date='May 17 2008, 06:35 AM']very tasty, I have considered getting one of these and having it fretted, has anybody on this forum done so before? Did it turn out any good?[/quote] That is my main aim, to have a fretless and fretted one. I have talked with a couple of luthiers and they don't think they will be able to fret the ebonal as they feel the fret wire won't grip properly. The only option would be to remove the fingerboard and replace with a new one. Or keep an eye out for a fretted gwb2 which I have been doing for a very long time now. Or buy a gwb1 with an ebony board and get that fretted.
  13. I absolutely loved my GWB35, as it is (was) the best playing and sounding fretless I had tried. Also the ramp and upper neck access etc made is ideal for my style of playing, but recently I decided to sell it to cover rent etc. It was this or my Spector Rebop5, but I need a fretted bass more for some projects and the fretless was more for my own thing....however(!) when I saw another GWB35 come up on talkbass I had to have it as I decided I couldn't live without my GWB...it only took one week! [attachment=8736:gwb_bass.jpg] [attachment=8737:bass_pre.jpg] I was going to upgrade my GWB before it went, but this was the easy option. Custom nordstrand pickup and bee basses beepre...nice! I should get the bass within the week, so will try and get some sound files or something up to compare a normal gwb35 against it. My landlord is more than likely wondering where my rent for this month is though!
  14. [quote name='Musky' post='200728' date='May 16 2008, 09:16 PM']It's a Bronco with lots of extra bits by the look of it...[/quote] Yeah. Looks like a Squier Bronco, thats been resprayed with a badass ii bass bridge and other electronics/pickups.
  15. [quote name='Oscar South' post='200839' date='May 17 2008, 12:50 AM']Thats amazing regardless, but his bass looks like its set up for amplified playing only with a very nice action, I doubt you could pull that off on an upright set up for playing acoustically. Its the same with Renaud Garcia-Fons and Edgar Meyer, all 3 are completely mindblowing musicians but they probably have easier setups on their bass then most electric fretlesses heh.[/quote] I don't agree. I saw dave play four other students basses a few weeks ago one with low, one with a stupidly high action, two with medium to higher action. He sounded great on all of them. Also, when he played his solo at the end of the concert, it was unamplified and he still had a very nice, large, full tone that filled the fairly big recital hall.
  16. That's a great video. Dave is now artist in residence at my conservatoire and has been in for 2 workshop weeks this year-he is an absolute MONSTER!!! A really nice and obviously a very knowledgeable guy. He makes you feel great when you play in his presence as he is such a down to earth guy. He really does have total command of the instrument and his technique is pretty flawless! Each time he comes over he works with students who play his music at the end of the week and it has become tradition for him to play a short solo piece at the end...its worth going to for that alone. I can't wait until he comes over later in the year with his band! And of course to see more of his solo bass!
  17. I really like Incognito, but haven't checked out their past couple of albums. But I used to play along the 100 degrees and rising album all the time many years ago. Julian is great, as is Randy. Also, i really like the sunburst band, so cheers for letting me know about the new album.
  18. NEVER being able to solo/improvise as well as I can when in the practice room or with my tutor. Drummer's who take a decade to setup and break down their gear (I play kit as well and if i can do both in under 8 minutes why can't you!) Using other peoples basses at jams/deps etc without having spent some quality time with it...I flat out refuse to play any instrument but mine as I am super picky with my setup. Idiots who shout things like "'ere...I bet you can't play (insert something they deem to be cool/Hard!)"
  19. [b]Here's the deal:[/b] Every Sunday I am going to list a large part (By Genre) of my CD collection that is far too big for one man to consume....a lot of them are in brand spanking new condition, or as new (Some are even sealed! ) I also start ALL my auctions at 99p!!! So you can potentially grab yourself some mega-bargains. All profits after eBay take their share will go to feeding a poor music student! [b]Today: CLASSICAL/OPERA[/b] There has to be some fans on here for this sort of music. They are the remaining classical/opera CDs that I bought as an investment a few years ago, a lot of them are still sealed. I sold most of my classical collection last year to fund some more jazz purchases, but there were 20 or so left so on the bay they go. Check it out here: [url="http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZpumpandschnitzel"]My eBay Listings[/url] and/or add me as a favourite seller as I will be listing every week as long as I can get to a computer. [b]Next Sunday: World Music[/b] Incase you want to check out some Okinawan Rap or something!? Get saving those Pesos!
  20. I use the suitcase with (4b if required) for everything I do. I love the sound, size and look of it. One of the best sounding amps I have used, but for the bigger gigs i play, i could do with a little more power, but it does the job.
