  1. I have. Just get lots of stuff about pedals and pre-amps, nothing about the actual amp heads.
  2. Straight forward questions for you guys: has anyone tried one of Dave Halls Amp heads, I can't remember the exact name I think the most powerful is called the VSX 700 or something. I've been looking into getting a new head to go in my rig and so far I'm liking the GEnz Benz 750 but I keep hearing great things about DHA stuff. If anyone has what they like, vintage, modern etc. Do they compare to anything. There doesn't appear to be any sound clips on the website for the amps themselves.
  3. Having thought it through and to add to my thoughts on trade I'm after a Sterling or a Stingray, and I wouldn't mind tinkering with a comparable 5 string.
  4. NOW SOLD Hey guys for sale my GK 700RBII and 410RBH. Both in full working order cab is the sort of wedge type, the cab has some damage to the Gallien Kruger writing and has been well used, I've no idea if these came with casters originally but it doesn't have them now, I'll sort some pics out later on. If anyone is interested I'm in Scunny most of the time but can deliver anywhere on the M62 corridor or North Lincs/Humberside for petrol money. SOLD for the pair collected. I'll let either go for SOLD (£10 extra for the cable with either) cab is similar to this, head can be seen in my rack:
  5. Dude I'm tempted but I have to get rid of my Sandberg JM4 before I go for anything else, luverly looking bass though.
  6. Bit of a bump and just to say if anyone fancies it I'm after a backup Ray.
  7. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='221767' date='Jun 18 2008, 10:25 PM']Not being funny or anything, but looking at the picture, is the back covered in pebble scratches?[/quote] Ha ha, yeah I dragged it out into the yard and dropped it onto the ground, then I lent it against the radiator in the greenhouse for a couple of months. It's actually ballanced on some mats.
  8. Nice bass but I'm not after another fretless at the moment thanks Voxpop.
  9. I'm sorry to anyone who PM'd me on this I have had something of a saga with another member (who fortunately appears to have gone for good now) who messed me around on this, anyway the long and the short of it is following that I had a hissy fit and buggered off the site for a 6 weeks! It's now back up for sale and if anyone wants it PM me.
  10. OK guys this is a tentative FS for my Sandberg California JM4, it's in redburst (satin/mat finish as opposed to gloss) with a black scratchplate. The controls are (top to bottom) vol, pan, active treble, active bass, the switch is an active defeat. You can't coil tap the MM pickup. It is the standard Sandberg configuration. I'm the only owner, I bought it from new. Condition wise, I've been over it this morning and there are no dings that I can see (although you are welcome to go over it with an oversized magnifying glass if you wish) the scratchplate has a minimal amount of wear from fingers playing it (I'll see if I can get some pics to show this later). It's never been gigged, never, in fact, left my house since it was bought. I would consider a trade if someone has something (that I don't already have) of interest. As ever I'll deal with people on a first come first served basis and no gazumping once/if I accept an offer. I've got some feedback somewhere on the feedback section from a few people but I don't sell too often so it will be well down. Will post in a shagged out old case if required, based on past experience posting will cost c.£30 I'd much rather anyone who wants it comes and has a look at it though, and I'm happy to meet someone a reasonable distance away for petrol money if you deffo want it. Great bass and a shame to sell it, I just don't need it since I have an MM and a Sadowsky Jazz. Sandberg is quoting £1000 for these, and the prices I can find on t'internet are all £900-£950. So I'm after SOLD MB1/Smash I totally forgot when I was putting it up) [attachment=9743:Sberg.JPG]
  11. [quote name='bass_ferret' post='219206' date='Jun 15 2008, 01:35 PM']The numbers, markings etc on the volume control are totally meaningless - see [url="http://wiki.basschat.co.uk/info:amps:gain_power_and_volume_-_a_confusing_menage_a_trois"]here[/url][/quote] Question then: does the variable resistor that is the volume effect the amount of wattage which goes into the speakers? I read the article, it doesn't say anything about the numbers being meaningless, the volume is like a valve increasing or decreasing the amount it lets through to the power amp in terms of signal, so does it also change the watts that the actual amp sends into the cab or is the wattage being fed into the cab uniform regardless of the volume. 14 years playing and I've never thought about this in detail!
  12. For years I ran a 300w head into a 350w max cab, the volume of the amp was never over c.60%, which I find is a good rule of tumb to avoid overdriving the amp. Now I know this doesn't equate to only 60% of the wattage going into the cab it has always seemed plenty of headroom. I can't think I've ever turned the volume past 3'oclock on any amp (about 7, Nige) Does anyone know how wattage output increases with turning up the volume, is it an exponential type increase?
  13. Richard is an excellent chap unfortunately he has an serious addiction to turning over high-end/vintage basses, I put this down to him being like Prince's Mum (apparently she's never satisfied) I also suspect he's too demanding. I'd be interested to know Richard; how this compares playing wise to the 82 Fullerton in my signature? Since you have played both.
  14. Just bought this from PA and he is a top man, beautiful collection of custom basses and probably the best acoustic bass on the planet, it's worth buying something from him just to have a go on it.

  17. I can't believe nobody wants this, fair price I think good luck Martin
  18. [quote name='richardd' post='160768' date='Mar 20 2008, 12:53 PM']Back for Sale £1200.00[/quote] Using my sleuthing powers I pressume Richard has taken delivery of a new bass??
  19. You have seen it before...SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14262"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14262[/url]
  20. [quote name='BassManKev' post='156042' date='Mar 12 2008, 02:59 PM']reviews complain alot about note decay, sustained notes kinda wobble and glitch after a while, is this true?[/quote] Well it's not as good as the Bass Pod Pro but I think it does a very good job for the money. It depends on the setting you have it on. I can see the point to a degree but, I think they may be overstating it. You'd stuggle to find fault for £100, even less so for £40!!!
  21. Off topic but whilst I was over there I saw this great looking headless 5 sting with MM and a J pickup on it in a light coloured wood which just looked the balls, he said it was a custome build for someone, I wonder if it was someone on here. Looked very nearly finished.

Buy from him in confidence I'm sure he'll have something new to sell soon from his ever revolving merry-go-round of quality basses!
  25. The exact twin to my 62RI 82 P bass, I'd be all over this bad boy if it wasn't for the fact that I'm picking up a Sadowsky NYC this very evening.
