  1. [quote name='ezbass' post='935962' date='Aug 25 2010, 01:55 PM']Not surprised, what a steal![/quote] I did not steal it your honour, it fell into my arms when the lorry moved off........
  2. [quote name='silddx' post='935657' date='Aug 25 2010, 09:29 AM']I know lots of people dislike the guy, because of what they read and see of him in the meejah, but this isn't about that.[/quote] So glad you put that in silddx, hopefully the thread can continue to be about him as a musician. Saw the Police when they supported Ten Years After way back in late 70's, then again when Walking on the moon had just charted. Sting was the most "energetic" musician I had ever seen live, blew me away both times. Great songs, vox and bass lines. Whatever material of his I have listened to, he seems to use space really well, "less is more" kind of thing (most of the time). I also like the way he has explored different genre since the Police days. Not all his material is to my taste, but I respect him as a musician, totally. John
  3. In Double bass/EUB section [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100185&pid=935487&st=0&#entry935487"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry935487[/url]
  4. Ok, will probably regret this, but I've bought a second acoustic upright and need to sell something to meet part of the bill. So as this Bassix doesn't get played as much as my acoustic DB, this has to go. It's the basschat EUB "bike" as it's done the rounds here. It has 1 x piezo chamber pickup, 1 x 4 pole pickup at end of fretboard. These are fed to the on board preamp/3 band eq, which also has 4 settings. These 2 pups can be balanced too, using the knob on the body. But they can also be mixed with the (adjustable) bridge pickup, via a K&K 2 channel pre amp. This gives an amazing variation of tones, from slap to dark boom. What I liked most about this was the chambered body gives the sound an acoustic quality. I play in a quartet playing Django/Westen swing/20's stuff and the band like a "true" sound, and this didn't disappoint. It is currently strung with eurosonic strings, as I like their gut sound. [url="http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product/1250-EUROSONIC_BASS_STRINGS_SETS.html"]http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product/1250-...RINGS_SETS.html[/url] It comes with a fleece lined gig bag and an EUB stand. It has battle scars as it is a gigged instrument. But I have kept good care of it since it came into my possession, so no further scrapes. I'm in Dorset and would prefer pickup/meet, but it does come with a "coffin" for courier but I think it is expensive to post. Feel free to ask me any questions.
  5. [quote name='TPJ' post='934505' date='Aug 24 2010, 10:00 AM']Great price for this.[/quote] Someone thought so....it's now sold and paid for. John
  6. [quote name='waltsdog' post='934519' date='Aug 24 2010, 10:15 AM']PM'd[/quote] Pm'd back and SOLD pending the usual.
  7. As above. Great little pedal, has 3 different synth settings (2 synth and an auto wah) with 2 decay settings, so very flexible. Home studio use only. Solid metal casing, sturdy little bugger, in good condition. £35 posted
  8. Here we have a Sheridan Les Paul copy. These are aimed at competing with Epiphone's copy range, except they have EMG Hz pups in and they are pretty hot. Anyway, I bought it as I liked the sound and thought I would use it for teaching. But I still pick up my tele by default, so it's been hanging on my wall for 2 months since buying it and I could do with raising some cash. So it's yours for £99 delivered up to 1 hour from my home in North Dorset,. No case, or gig bag, but it will be packed securely in a box. Pics tonight, but it's this.

  9. Ok, I'm putting this up for a cash sale now. £200 posted with hard case.

  12. [quote name='oldslapper' post='933218' date='Aug 22 2010, 11:03 PM']I've sent the seller a nice message enquiring about the bass ....I'll let you know their answer (if indeed they do answer). [/quote] Here's the reply to my fairly detailed questions about the bass: "Hi, thank you very much for your detailed enquiry. I hadn't seen this one before either, but on asking the question to my supplier, unfortunately it seems we've missed the boat on this model as it has now gone. I'm sourcing an alternative now, but if you would like me to look for a specific type, colour, make, style, I can do the leg work for you. Please drop me a reply asap as I will need to end this item today." Mmmm....there were 5 in stock yesterday when I made the enquiry.........they must have all ran out the shop like street traders when they heard the sirens! Amazing what people will try innit

  14. Indeedy gentlemen. He is also selling "fender" strats for £199. Not subtle is he.......
  15. Saw this and quite fancied one for a backup 5 string. Not seen these before though. Will contact the seller at some point, but thought I'd ask on here first.

  16. Any 34" scale trades? I could put some cash in too.
  17. I'm sure I've seen one of these in a BC members avatar/picture...??

  20. Needed a 5 string for a brief project I'm involved in. Ok, so bought this on a complete whim as I like the sound of the Hohner Jack bass and fancied a 5 string version, couldn't find one so tried the B2AV. However, this baby has had the active pre amp removed by a previous owner who disconnected the tone control in doing so. So you've got 2 volume controls to adjust any variation in tone. I've been playing it all night through my LMII and it sounds great, rear pup is very "finger funky" and the front has a P tone (it's a passive Jazz config so it should I guess). I could live with the sound as it is, I've searched on line to see bout changing the pre amp, had some good advice on here about reconnecting the tone control. But the bottom line is I can't get on with the bass physically, it's tiny, I'm huge! The neck seems to be very long, no matter where I put the strap, so no matter what I did with the pre amp, I'm still not going to be happy playing it. Condition: The previous owner didn't like the "Hohner" name as they've removed it from the body and pups (although you can still see it on the pups close up). There's a few marks on the back of the body too. It does feel a very substantial bass though, even though it's light. Feels/sounds like it's got new strings on it, light gauge my guess and it has a nice action to my taste. Comes with a hard case. Maybe suit someone who gets on with this shape and is prepared to take care of the preamp. Here are some pics taken with my phone tonight. Happy to put some more up in day light. Not after cash, just a trade for a bass with a body please. 4 or 5 string, not that fussed as I have one main bass that I use all the time and any additional will be for back up. I've borrowed a mates warwick 5'er for the recording......probably should have done that in the first place. I'm in Dorset and can drive 45 mins or so to meet up/deliver.

    Si Pm'd me when I was arranging the Dorset bass bash to offer some brilliant advice and to question my sanity. He didn't need to, he just did. A genuine man. Irreplaceable. I'm still bit shocked to be honest. But thanks Si, you will be missed greatly. But at least we've got some wonderful posts to remember you by. John
