  1. [quote name='yorick' post='1348940' date='Aug 23 2011, 12:59 PM']Have a look at these. Should fit over your existing strap buttons. Cheap.

    Hi- not a bass, but I've got a pair of Ric 360s ( a six and a twelve) and they come with the straplock buttons as standard. These are for [b]Schaller[/b] locks. I tried a cheaper setand the strap fittings don't fit over the fittings onn the guitar. I don't have any experience of the likes of Dunlop etc, but to be sure I'd stick to Schallers- as previously mentioned these are the ones sold as official Ric parts.
    Personally, I'd avoid getting the 'official' Ric ones, as they are about three times what you'd pay for them on Ebay. I got some recently for a tenner as opposed to £37 for a full set!

  2. [quote name='jackduran' post='1253517' date='Jun 2 2011, 09:03 AM']Still pondering! I'm watching from a distance at the moment (I'm moving in to a new house so I'm on a strict- non-existent- budget at the minute), deliberating what to get rid of so that I can have a go on this thing! If it goes it goes, and that'd be my fault for taking too long, but I'll let you know as soon as I can.

    My sympathies... house moving is such a treat!
    No worries mate. I keep forgetting irony doesn't translate well in text.

  3. [quote name='jackduran' post='1239897' date='May 22 2011, 01:35 AM']What's the low-end suck like on the Flanger (if any)? I'm looking for a new toy to play around with some Simple Minds-style tones and seeing as my budget doesn't stretch as far as the MXR flanger (at the moment anyway) this looks interesting.[/quote]

    I take it that's a no thanks then :)

    Bumpity.

  4. [quote name='thatgrantboy' post='1252649' date='Jun 1 2011, 01:22 PM']Would you go any lower on the ubermetal mate? As I'll be needing a new knob or two (snarf).

    edit: and just to check, its the whole pedal yup? (not just the changeable interface)[/quote]

    Hi- sorry, I meant to post a pic...

    yeah, it's the whole thing. How about 32.50 posted? I know it's not much off but it's a fiver to post :)

    To be honest, I can't remember exactly, but I think it did have a bit of bottom loss. Never tried it on bass though.

  6. Tonecore goodness from Line6.

    The Tap Tremolo is very tremulous and tappable, plus it can do that thing where you hit a note and as the note decays, the tremolo slows down.
    Brilliant and OOP. [b]SOLD[/b].

    Ubermetal. Very metal. Choice of metal-ness and knobbiness.


    Missing a couple of knobs, though shafts are intact (stop it, you at the back!). Works good. [b]SOLD[/b].

    Piccies will follow.

  7. [quote name='dc2009' post='1237652' date='May 20 2011, 01:55 AM']Hey mate, don't suppose you know on the particular differences between the russian and american muffs, and how hard the russian ones are to come by? I have a russian bassballs so would ideally prefer to get a russki muff too[/quote]

    Well it all depends on whether you mean the 'Green One' or the 'Black One'. The Green Ones are supposedly best, but are starting to get ridiculously expensive, whereas the black ones are available for about £90 (according to thiEveBay ads).
    Also, depends what you want- Green Ones are supposed to be 'tighter', the Black Ones 'dirty' and the New York ones 'normal' Big Muff.
    The original Green Ones were allegedly made with Soviet military-spec parts.

    Mine's nice and shiny.

  8. Biyang PH8 Phaser pedal - True Bypass, WIMA caps (it says). Anyway, nice big shiny silver pedal (oh yes, very shiny!). Kind of emulates the MXR Phase 100, but not quite. Still it's quite good. Velcroed bottom, boxed. £30

  9. The time seems to have come to get rid of my 1981 (ish) Hondo Longhorn six-string.
    These things seem to be getting harder and harder to find.
    Based (obviously) on the Danelectro Guitarlin, it's got 31 frets but is made of solid wood (allegedly maple) and has a humbucker with 3-way coil selector, phase switch and boost circuit. The hardware is mostly brass and gold plate, which [i]goes lovely[/i] with the 'coffee and cream' finish. And it comes in a fitted hardcase with a nice fluffy lining.
    These guitars were supposedly made by Tokai in Japan.
    It's in pretty good nick for the age, with a few dings and some sort of cosmetic damage to the pickup surround, but this obviously doesn't impinge on the guitar's performance. I've had this particular one for about 10 years (bought it as a bit of nostalgia for the one I'd bought new, back in the early 80s and had traded up for a long-gone Ibanez Artist) but it hasn't had much use since then, just sitting neglected in it's case.











    No idea what it's worth- they seem to go for about £400 in America, so I'll take a stab at[b] £350[/b].
