  1. [quote name='philw' post='1088066' date='Jan 13 2011, 02:39 PM']I'm not convinced it's short scale Gareth. I suspect it just looks a little that way thanks to the perspective of the photo. Anyhow, we'll know for certain soon enough once Joe & Co are back from NAMM. Phil[/quote] Indeed. I meant to say that I suspected it to be short scale.
  2. If you like my Archtop then check out Joe's newest bass, the Concorde, which Phil and I are guessing is a short scale hollowbody.
  3. ON HOLD ahead of a viewing this coming Friday.
  4. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1087304' date='Jan 12 2011, 09:59 PM']??? I never got a PM from you - just checked my Inbox again and there's definitely nothing there. Sorry. Judging by the time that you posted (above) that you'd sent a PM, it's impossible to tell who would have got there first, you or the eventual buyer.[/quote] No worries. I just checked and there's nothing in my outbox either, so I guess the net gremlins ate my PM! Cheers Gareth
  5. Interested in the H1, but also wondering about the Alesis Protrack; am I correct in assuming you can plug a bass in one channel and use the integral mic in the other?
  6. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1085418' date='Jan 11 2011, 12:56 PM']Ouch! 13/18 time is one of the trickier ones to match ...[/quote]
  7. [quote name='mattbass6' post='1085379' date='Jan 11 2011, 12:36 PM']Just a quick question if you don't mind. Did you say that the string spacing on this bass is 16mm?[/quote] That is correct.
  8. Cool test! High for everything (99% perception, 99% enthusiasm, 100% emotional, 92% social and 94% curiosity) The scores on the doors: Group the music 3 jazz with 1 hip hop 3 hip hop with 1 pop 3 pop with 1 jazz 4 rock! 13/18 on match the beat 5 medium and 4 low tap to the beat - what? 11/12 melody memory
  9. I've had a lot of interest in this bass but no one has gone for it yet, so I'm going to bump this down to [b]£850 posted [/b]using a basic (i.e. 3-5 day service with only minimal insurance) in the UK to see if that does the trick.
  10. [quote name='BassBod' post='1084046' date='Jan 10 2011, 11:25 AM']Euphonic Audio - the eq really isn't complicated! Look out for a used iamp 800. I used the 500 for a few years with great results, and never felt it lacked anything - just lets your bass sound like it does.[/quote] What he said
  11. Gosh that's nice.
  12. [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='1081959' date='Jan 8 2011, 11:48 AM']I for one would like to keep the option of posting upright related items for sale on this forum. There are so many bass guitars for sale on here a double bass for sale post can soon be lost and may be missed. At least we could have a thread with links to the relevant for sale section.[/quote] My original suggestion was going to be that we should "do a Talkbass" and have two For Sale sections; one for electrics and one for uprights. Wasn't sure how it would go down though...
  13. [quote name='starman' post='1081307' date='Jan 7 2011, 05:20 PM']Is it worth £2750?[/quote] This is an edit of the original post yes? Personally, I wouldn't pay that much for a Wal of that vintage.
  14. [quote name='The Burpster' post='1081779' date='Jan 8 2011, 07:11 AM']The double bass/EUB section is for discussing matters relating to the beasts not for advertising them.... [/quote] Might be worth a sticky in the DB/EUB section to this effect Bob, as lots of DB stuff is advertised for sale there.
  15. Nice looking Wal. Original flight case too I think? There was a time, late 80s early 90s, when that 50/50 thing was considered cool. It may have been custom ordered that way but I doubt it. If you contact [url="http://http://www.walbasses.co.uk/Contact%20us"]Paul Herman[/url] at Wal and tell him the serial number he may well be able to confirm what configuration the bass had when it left the workshop. Cheers Gareth
  16. Is that the one that was in The Gallery? I so wanted that bass; it was created the same year as me!
  17. Lots of interest in this bass all of a sudden.
  18. I would [i]love[/i] this, but sadly I am in a post-Christmas finance funk
  19. Been using the video feature on our HD camera today and filmed a couple of clips. I've uploaded one of the Archtop to Youtube; it's okay but you can't really hear the changes in tone that well. I may try again with a higher quality mic fitted at some point.
  20. You could always by my [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=111384&st=0&p=1027742&#entry1027742"]Ken Smith Burner[/url] to feed your fretted 6 needs
