  1. I'm sure that the SB-R60 is one of the wider necked SB's which are identifiable by eye-shaped fret markers and a chrome (not brass) tail-piece. Isn't this an SB700?

    Have you posted on the Warwick forum yet? ... you might get a bite there.

  4. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1377109695' post='2183528'] Is the Schaller a straight replacement on a Fender? Or do you need to drill extra holes..? From what I can see it's a three-hole fitting. [/quote] No, it's not a straight replacement on a Fender. The 3D bridge has 3 screw positions which [u]don't[/u] line up with those on a Fender bass. You would need to drill.
  5. It oozes sex ... like accountancy or paracetamol does.
  6. I'm aware that Jack Bruce, John Taylor, and Cliff Burton were players of Aria SB's... but which other famous bassists have been known to play them?
  7. [quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1377104136' post='2183427'] I bought this album when it was released, knowing nothing about Stanley Clarke other than that he was supposed to be brilliant. I put it on at a friends' house on the way home and got mocked for weeks. [/quote] It has some amazing moments though ... the bass duets with Armand Sabal Lecco. Fantasy love? on the same album as THIS?! ... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNou06n0ft4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNou06n0ft4[/url]

  9. Jesus wept ... is this the low ebb in Stanley Clarke's tour de fromage? The album East River Drive, which this song is from, has some cheesy moments (a couple of great ones too), but this takes the cracker. It's not even from the 80's. Argh! ...

  13. [quote name='nobo' timestamp='1377006436' post='2182097'] don't judge or buy an instrument only with soundclips (played by another guy, with his set up, strings, etc). [/quote] Thank you for your concern Nobo, I wont ... and certainly not with a Fender
  14. ebaygonewrong, a question for you ... When asked what colour the hardware is on the SB1000, why did you say that the tuners are gold plated, when the bass in the last three photos that you put up "the actual bass that you're selling" has chrome tuners?
  15. [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1376930732' post='2181088'] That seems to have been removed. [/quote] Nah, it's still up ...

  16. Should this not be reported to the police? The evidence is conclusive, after all.
  17. [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1376893619' post='2180329'] Scum bag. That's my SBR-150 and those are my photographs that I posted on this site. I've reported it to ebay. Those pictures have been lifted from here. [/quote] Holy $h1t, that's awful. I'm glad I posted this ... I knew it didn't add up.
  18. It's the same guy that's (apparently) selling the SB1000. I put a post up about that a couple of days ago in the "ebay/ weird and wonderful" section of the forum. Dodgy as hell!!!

Classic, compact, high-end bass amplification, as used by many top players. These are the cream of the GK MicroBass range, made in the USA, using the highest quality of componentary. Basschatters will be aware of the excellent reputation of this gear. If not, there are plenty reviews to check out online, and there's a link to the manual (below) if you're after the full specifications. I'm selling the combo and cab together as a pair. The cab dramatically enhances the sound and performance of the set-up, utilising the full capacity of the amp, enrichening the tone, and raising the volume. It's a [i]very[/i] solid 150w, surprising powerful, tight, and clean. I've used this set-up to good effect with electric basses, although they are also highly recommended for use with upright bass.

I bought the combo approx 10 years ago so I assume it's from the original series of the model. I've used it on its own for practice, rehersal, and small gigs, and as a stage monitor with a line out on bigger occasions. Everything operates exactly as it should; there is no noise, no hisses, no crackling, no scratchy pots, no sticky switches, nor anything else you don't want. It's in perfect working order and functions beautifully. Cosmetically, there is a patina of use. There are a few scratches and marks on the paintwork. These are superficial however. I've made them as visible as possible in the photographs so that they shine in the light. [i][b]The Extension Cab[/b][/i] ... I bought the cab approx 1 year ago (series III?). I've used it during rehersal only. It's in perfect working order. The cosmetic condition is perfect too (with the exception of one small dent on a corner). [b][u]Price[/u] - [i]£450[/i][/b]. Postage will cost extra (Let me know your postcode and I'll work out exactly how much). [b][u]Trade[/u] - [/b]I'm after either a 2x10" combo, or a 2x10" cab + Amp Head. I'm fussy, but open to offers. Whatcha got?

  20. [quote name='funkypenguin' timestamp='1376838961' post='2179738'] Got my hands on my second Warwick recently, 2008 Streamer Jazzman custom shop in French Violet with matching headstock and planet inlays. Sounds and feels great, so different to my Streamer 6, not least in it has the much thicker Ovankol neck profile. Enjoy [attachment=141768:IMAG0490.jpg] [/quote] Sexual!

    OC-3 Love

    I know how some folk cream themselves over the OC-2 with its glitchy sex factor, etc, but the OC-3 is a fine pedal too. Less celebrated, but great in its own right. ... Well built, simple, dedicated input for Bass, super quiet operation, the range sweep is really effective, and in "polyphonic" mode the tracking is pretty damned good. Noticably better than its predecesor, to be sure. Granted, the "OC-2" mode on the OC-3 doesn't sound like the original, but if that's what you're after then an actual OC-2 is surely the answer. The "Drive" mode on the OC-3 is great too. With the octave peeled right back it turns the OC-3 into a fantastically grunty and full-sounding bass distortion pedal. Seriously good. I love the thing. If I was Pat Butcher I would wear a pair of them as earrings.
  22. Couldn't comment on Gotoh, Badass is over-priced, the Schaller 3D is the dogs baws. The rolling saddle string spacing adjustment on the 3D works really well.
  23. This doesn't add up. The seller (new seller/no feedback) has presented 2 photos. One is a stock photo of a SB1000JT (black hardware), The other is a stock photo of a SB1000 re-issue (gold plated hardware). In his very brief description he says the bass is c.1980, mint, plays as new, and he is the only owner. When someone asks about the actual colour of the hardware on the bass being sold he says the tuners are gold plated. This wasn't the case on early SB's, they were chrome. There are 22 bids on this bass thus far. Seems slightly odd to me. not very confidence-inspiring ...
