    [quote name='JonnyM' post='709764' date='Jan 12 2010, 10:07 AM']Just curious: you have a Doubler already, so why get a Micro too?[/quote] Sorry for the misunderstanding. My sig should actually read [i]Doubler on the way[/i]; I'll have it next week. I'm not getting a Micro as well.

    [quote name='BigBeatNut' post='709523' date='Jan 11 2010, 10:40 PM']Verrrry nice. Just about perfect looks for me and 19mm spacing too. The only thing I could think of that [i]might[/i] make it even more perfect would be a 2nd mag pickup. We must arrange that A/B session with my [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=31111&hl="]RA Deep 5[/url] some time when the weather is a bit less of a pain. Andy[/quote] Thanks Andy. Yes, an AB session would be good as I've always loved Rob's basses. Drop me a PM when the snow clears?

    I'm a numpty about such things; is this footswitch dual momentary?

    I have one on order and should have it by the end of next week. I'm hoping it will be the perfect matchup for my EA cabs and allow me to ditch my very good, but butt ugly, Markbass LMK.

    [quote]Wider than a Wal, my guess is 18mm.[/quote] Measured it last night and it's 19mm.

    Mmm, tempting. How heavy is it?
  7. franzbassist
    How would you describe the tone of the newer unit? By that I mean is it comparable to anything other make? I've heard these heads are a bit more "grunty" than the usual EA clean sound. Also, any concerns over volume output? Does the 550 have a decent kick? Cheers G

    [quote]What's the string spacing?[/quote] Wider than a Wal, my guess is 18mm. [quote]Sorry the word "best" interpreted therefore as better smile.gif came from your quote above.[/quote] Not to worry, my wording may have been less than imprecise in the first place. Cheers Gareth

    [quote]Whoa, hold on a sec. as an admirer of the collection of Wals you've owned in the past - are you saying this is better than the Wal fretless you owned ?[/quote] Better? No, just different. This bass has a much more organic, natural, and less "processed" sound than the Wal. [quote]Are those rotodound black nylons she's wearing?[/quote] They're La Bellas, and very nice they are too.

    Thanks for all the kind words guys. Having now gigged the bass and played it most evenings over the last few weeks, I have to say it is without doubt the best fretless I've ever owned. The sustain is just incredible and the variety of tones lurking inside it is amazing for such a simple setup. I am so pleased with it I want to get a fretted version as well....

    [quote name='eubassix' post='706741' date='Jan 9 2010, 04:56 PM']Only need one and happy with both units (now realising that I don't really need/use the additional power of the 550) so don't mind which sells.[/quote] I should have read the first sentence of the ad more carefully!
  16. franzbassist
    Very interested in the new one, but why are you selling?

    I'm amazed this is still here. I have one of these and it is a superb two channel amps - really versatile, transparent sound, lots of power and extremely LOUD! Bump for a great amp.

    Smooth deal. Excellent communciation throughout and a quick payer by Paypal.
  20. franzbassist
    And sold. Thanks Chris!

    This is a really nice heavy duty strap, made by Levys I believe. It's a very heavy duty textured black leather backed by a sort of rust coloured suede pad. About 3" wide, approx 36" to 52" length. Originally had a little Godin logo stitched onto it, which I removed, and you can hardly see it. I'd like £15 posted.

    SOLD
  23. franzbassist
    Thanks. I'll PM you now, oh and it's black, as per the original post title.
  24. franzbassist
    Thinking about it there's a certain amount of give in the strap when you put a bass on it, so the few cm or so between the hole and ends of the strap will be different anyway. If you're really particular about how long your straps are this may not be the right one for you!?

    [quote name='benzies123' post='691832' date='Dec 22 2009, 08:55 PM']Hi there, Is the 36" from end to end or from the pin holes? If you get my meaning...I'm very fussy about strap length! Jamie[/quote] I'm not sure as I lifted the text from the Levys site! I'll measure and get back to you.
