    Hi welcome to the forum, nice to see another south westerner here! John

    Absolutely. I think that's why I like them, they're portable enough to take two for larger venues, or if (very seldom) I don't DI to PA, but mostly I can use just 1 for on stage monitoring. I couldn't afford some of the high end cabs that I see others use here, but I like them as they offer me flexibility, they're very portable, and sound good...(unlike me) Just what I need at my age.

    Brilliant bass, I did 2 european tours in mid 80's with the Thunder IIIA, the support band bass player had a MM and kept borrowing the westone! check this you tube link Boys Brigade, The Times....check out my mullet, soooo Chris Waddle lolz [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUkDrrGlOyk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUkDrrGlOyk[/url] Might buy this for sentimental reasons and pass on to my son...who hasn't got a mullet...yet

    I bought the 1x15 & 4x8 of Uzzel. They are amazing and light. The clarity from either cab is outstanding. I would have passed them by if it wasn't for the info given in the replies to the original for sale ad.....so, thanks BC'ers, truly a good community.

    Saw him at salisbury arts centre a couple of years ago, very funny and some brilliant stories, MJ, Floyd, etc.

    Ok, that means I could take out the existing pre amp and use the Fishman, connected directly to the piezo under the bridge. Thanks for your help, brilliant.

    [quote name='supabock' post='662115' date='Nov 22 2009, 08:55 PM']What EUB and pickup type do you have?[/quote] This is my first EUB and didn't have a lot to spend on one, but cost me £500. It doesn't have a name on it. But it's a solid body (similar shape to the palantino chambered). The pickup is a tubing under bridge type, with pre amp that has cd and headphone input and a volume and bass boost control, the line out is mini jack. Gigged it first time last night and it plays well, better than my acoustic, but the pre amp is somewhat limited and has an annoying hum at higher volume levels (that could be the lead I guess)

    Excuse my ignorance but would this be a suitable replacement for an existing pre amp in an EUB? thanks.

  12. oldslapper
    Thanks. That would be cheaper than replacing the whole unit. Who's OBBM by the way.
  13. oldslapper
    Hope it goes well Jules! Sounds like an interesting line up!

    I did a search on the forum for this topic, but it wouldn't give me a result, so apologies if I'm going over old ground. Having bought an EUB recently I would like to replace the exsisting pre amp. The bass is a solid (not chambered) body, looks like a Palantino, but solid body. Having just had it "tweaked" by local luthier who did my acoustic upright, it now plays great and sounds quite nice. However as it's my first venture into EUB I didn't spend a lot (£550), if I don't get on with the skinny version, I can always use it to hang my coat on. The current eq has CD input, headphone output and mini jack line out. I'm not that fussed about the headphone or CD facility and I'm finding it difficult to source a good quality right angled mono mini jack to 1/4" jack lead. The pickup band under the bridge (standard) has a very even distribution which I'm happy about, but I would really like to change the eq unit. Anyone got any experience of doing this and what did you change to? Anyway I'm gigging it in Salisbury on saturday night for first time and looking forward to it (in particular getting in and out of the car/venue more easily than the beasty acoustic). Thanks for any input you guys can offer, J

    Up for grabs is my partscaster tele. It's not being used and has a brand new Dr Parts maple/rosewood neck with Fender decal, new wilkinson neck pup, and new tortoiseshell pickguard. None of the parts are genuine Fender, but it plays beautifuly and sounds great, proper Tele twang bridge pup and nice mellow front pup. Put together by local luthier for me. The body was from a 2 year old tele copy I had. It has a couple of small paint/laquer chips, but it's never been out of the house, just hangs on the wall. I've got GAS since joining this site, so have to fund recent aquisitions. Comes with gigbag and strap. Phone camera pics I'm afraid. I will be prepared to travel 25 miles to deliver, or will post.

    Small bumpette.

    Best wishes to the band for Sunday...I'm sure you'll find the right spanker! Top guys, if I was free I'd be in the queue too.
  18. oldslapper
    MMMmmmm, nice! If my 5 string Warwick has an outright sale then I'll be v. interested in this.

    Function band: 30 mins drive, Jazz trio: 30 paces to music room from bedroom. Have done the long hauls when younger, didn't seem a chore, was just grateful to be playing (plus loads of youthful enthusiasm/energy). Now very lucky to have things more close to hand. by the way...does anyone else often enjoy the rehearsing more than the actual performance??.....I love playing live, but I also enjoy the bit about learning chops, seeing everything (mostly) come together, the odd bit of tension about interpreting arrangements??....no?......you're probably right....I'll get me coat......

    Will take cash sale £550

    [quote name='Chipps' post='657308' date='Nov 17 2009, 06:36 PM']Surely such a weighty bass would make you rather [i]muscle bound?[/i] especially if you're [i]highly strung[/i] Ahh, this could run and run - unless you [i]cut a long story short[/i] and get it swapped out soon...[/quote] This [i]communication[/i] is getting me down.....

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='656248' date='Nov 16 2009, 07:02 PM']Any idea what you might be after in terms of an outright sale? (Sorry. You can't have my MM Stingray 5 Fretless!) Thanks in advance. Alex.[/quote] Don't know really Alex, but if I'd put it on Fleabay I'd ask bout £550-600, but would rather get a bass and cash though.....(it's ok not a MM fan so yer stingray's safe, have toured with one in past, sounded great, just didn't get on with the necks...probably coz I'm pants) lol

    Fortress Masterman 5 string 1999. This was recently sold, but a twist in the neck was discovered (no I didn't know about it before hand) and so I took it back without question. I took it to a local luthier today who confirmed the twist was evident (dip at B string, raised at G). I am not a tech, and have played this as it is since I've had it, so it was sold to me like it, I do not do my own set ups or adjustments, it just looked nice to me. (I know I'm going to get comments about this, but sorry I'm a lazy git who likes pretty guitars). I have contacted Guitar Works in Reading who have quoted me £300 for a replacment neck by Warwick, in exchange for the current one. The local guy has given me an [i]estimate[/i] of £150 to sort it out. I could carry on living with it as the condition of the guitar is immaculate and I have played it as is up till now, but I can't look at it now I know the neck isn't right. So, story over, are there any Warwick lovers out there who want this fairly rare but flawed beast. Or someone who has the time, or money to spend on getting the neck perfect? I certainly don't have the money, or the know-how. Comes with a Warwick gig bag. I would prefer collection, so you can look at it. But will post if wanted. £350.
