    OK So I was in aguitar store yesterday having a look about and I am convinced I saw a new way huge pedal but cant find it lsited anywhere - I rememebr it had two little tweakable controls like other pedals in the current line up and it appeared to be a sweepable mid control. Anyone seen it yet? I may have to go and hunt it down tomorrow for a demo unless it was all a dream... oh hang on Bobby Ewing's at the door.....

    I've an EBS valve drive that'll get you there. It's all valve dirt, classic tone stack and in combination with your amp (a TC by the looks of your sig - a little tweaking to the mid range controls) and you'll get a pretty frickin' good OD sound with plenty of oomph! Just a thought

    Sale only sorry.

    Oly White P5 Rosewood/maple neck. Its got that great P tone only with the extra B sting. Very nice tension and I've fitted DR LoRiders for their extra 'stiffness' and this low B feels as good as a 35' scale IMHO but you may differ. Comes in original new style hard cases and are pretty sexy looking units I'll get pic's up over the next few days. The P5 is all original and certainly retains that more 'modern' sound. As with any good P bass the tone control actually functions as you'd want and will go from bright (it's got new strings so that helps) when wide open to more classic across its taper. Guitarists talk all the time about volume knob control for adjusting the response of the guitar - a Good P bass tone control will do the same for your bass tone. Two beauties and each one has its own personality. Its like a pair of pretty twins - how do you decide which one to date? Both are tasty but each one has that little spark which draws you in. £700 for P5 PM for pic's which I'll update over the coming days.

    Its been bump-ed The bass gremlin is sold - awaiting funds to clear - bit all wrapped up and ready to fly! EBS still for grabs and open to a sensible offer but no trades on this one cash needed just like everyone else I suppose!

    T'was immaculate! Cheers Good guy to deal with - fast and accurate.

    I use the Eden power amp and it's been 100% reliable. Enough volume for my needs and really nifty tone controls to help maximise your sound. Its for sale only due to needing something smaller.

    For fear of repeating myself from another post I just hooked up an Ernie Earplugs Regenerative Feedback Processor - its a passive pedal requiring no batteries- that can adda synth like quality to your dirty tone and allows you to switch it in and out and retain the tone of your dirt pedal. For me its been quite fun playing with the volume control and hearing how that affects the tone. Its maybe not he perfect replication but for about £25 quid 2nd hand you might find it more fun and much cheaper than a synth pedal that won't track the notes etc. or certainly a component in a sound that allows you your stamp of originality OK vid link added below and please dont comment on the playing especially when I decide to 'slap' Should give a good indication of the messed up tones though - I'd be happy to have comment on that [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o3cnfKiEe4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o3cnfKiEe4[/url]

    Whats your budget? There are many good options but i guess its what you have the dime for. I finally giot round to trying my ernie earplugs feedback regenerator pedal today hooked up to a dirt box and it was such a fun experience It will add something to your dirt sound - if its actually what you're after is another question but for a relatively inexpensive box you get your normal drive sound plus your f**ked up sound which adds a dimension to your filth. I'd recommend those who are after a synth type tone to their dirt to check them out if you get a chance to. I'll try and post a link to the video I made (once I upload it to you tube). Good luck with the pedal hunt [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o3cnfKiEe4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o3cnfKiEe4[/url]

    While I'll fully support your sale Im after a clear out of stuff and rebuilding the rig as it were. I have a few options but they all involve getting rid of the lot and starting again. Good luck now go sell those cabs baby!

    It sure is Purdy! Pre holiday bump and I got a quote from courier that postage of the flightcased ampeg would wOrk out between 30-40 quid. Not bad so have a think then good people!

    Alpha pot's aint bad either - some of my gear have had them and they feel as one would imagine a nice pot should. Smooth but a reassuring resistance so you know its there. Plus they sound good across their taper.

    I emailed bass centre and was advised that i should get a big amp - the standard bass head being the SVT which was rated at 300w but Im still drawn to this EBS amp. i like the idea that I can use playing dynamic's (to a point ) to coax cleaner tones but still have that edge - again £900 is a big risk if it turns out to be 'under powered' for the 'real world'. I can't help thinking that at the gig's I play a solid 60-70 tube watts would be ample coming out a 4 ohm cab. My only concern would be would it be under powering a 500-700w cab? iIwelcome your collective knowledge.

    Our guitarist convinced us to do a charity give for Amnesty that his dad runs every year. It turned out it was at the opposite side of the country which included a train ride, car journey and finished off with ferry ride all with gear in tow. We kinda knew it would be a road trip and had free accommodation and food for doing the show but we played to a very unappreciative crowd ( we didnt care if they thought we sucked but the hall emptied as the band before us were playing trad music, played longer than they were supposed to and the crowd were knackered and all went outside to get air, drink, cool down and get stoned. The killer was all the food was gone when we arrived, two of the band had to sleep in a converted bus that was baltic and we were all up again at 5.30am to catch the early ferry home and I had to work a 8 hour shift that afternoon. Oh yeah it cost me an annual leave day too It will take a lot of convincing for me to do another charity show that isn't a local bus ride away

    +1 Sir Duke I recall sitting down one saturday morning, pot of coffee brewed and bass in hand and thinking right!Lets go! Took much quicker than expected. On a completely opposite end of the scale I find some of the Jamerson stuff initially sounds really hard, then you nail one phrase or passage and then only to realise its on a whole different level of playing and you would never make those note choices not even at gunpoint. I cant believe how much milage he got between the open strings and 5th fret.

    This bass has just been sold but... Ian I'd have to check its origins - I notice I didn't list that in the spec but yeah I'm sure they all come from the same place Webby The neck has a jazz profile so its much slimmer than my USA P bass but for my preference the USA is smoother, it's got rolled edges and feels instantly at home for me. I just prefer the dimensions to the VM plus going back to the P4 after the P5 is a wonderful slinky experience!! I believe the amp is a Vox VR? It belongs to one of the other bands that use the room and I rarely look at it. Its a nice amp though - looks the part eh! Sadly the bass has been sold but thank you for the interest. Gavin

    Oh and I do have both the original name badges but I've removed them from the cabs. They will be fitted again for the new owner. G

    Aguilar cab pictures added below. Some of the little tears to the tolex - all superficial - can be seen and naturally they do not affect tone. I've also shown the size of the cab in relation to an Ampeg 410 and an Ashdown 410. It's smaller then the Ampeg but Im guessing most other 410 cabs are! Any questions just drop me a PM Thanks for reading.

    Hey guys and gals. Up for your viewing pleasure is a...... Fully flight cased USA SVT Classic 410 HLN (500w@4ohm) for the princely sum of £400 ovno. Standard rock (and everything else) cab. Its a beast and covers all your bases with ease. Handles a low B with ease and has full adjustable tweeter. There is some peeling to the tolex on the lower left corner (or right depending where you are standing) from where its been in and out of the flight case tray but thats purely cosmetic and could be stuck down with some glue - I might do that this w/e just for fun! Some more action on the covering beside the hadnle on the left side also but again purely cosmetic. Willing to sell the flight case on its own but its gonna have to be pick up only or meet within an hour of Edinburgh (assuming it will fit in my mates boot!) Aguilar DB410 (700w@8ohm) Im really liking this cab and currently it's 8ohm rating isn't a worry as I can really push it with my power amp at 8ohms. I A/b'd the two cabs yesterday and think that the Ampeg has a little more low end whereas the Aguilar has a little more 'clarity?' but you know how subjective these things can be. I recently played through a 215 rig and after hearing ao much about the DB112's as a pair I'd be keen to try out that set up plus its easier to shlep to gigs being smaller than the 410. As ever gimme a pm for more info and pic's of the Aguilar will follow soon as I get them updated on my phone - later today for sure as Im off to do that now! Thanks for reading
