£17.50 posted per set? -
If you like to chuck all your leads, cables, fuses, spare strings etc in one bag, then this is for you. It's a Gator, so you know it's well made, and is just the right size for all those bits you take to a gig. Features: * Synthetic fur lining (really nice) * 30mm spongy foam lining * Exterior accessory pocket * Carry handles * Removable shoulder strap * 18" x 10" x 7" These are £27 posted on eBay. This one is mint so I'd like [b]£20 posted[/b]. To quote Owen, want it you know you do. Cheers Gareth

I bought one of these a couple of months ago to house my iAmp, but I've now put all my gear into one gig bag so it's surplus to requirements. It hasn't been to any gigs and only one or two rehearsals, so mint condition (although I did take the Gig Skinz label off the large pocket on the front). It cost me £40 posted. I'd like [b]£30[/b] posted. Internal Dimensions: Width = 14 1/14 inches (362mm) Depth = 12 1/2 inches (318mm) Height = 4 1/2 inches (114mm) * High Tech Water Resistant Carbon Fibre Style Fabric * High Density Foam Body with Structured Semi-Hard Lining That Mantains Shape and Protects Gear From Impact * Plush Fur Lined Interior and Pockets for Added Cushioning and Protection * Heavy Duty, Grip-Dimple Bottom Lining * Moulded. High Tech, Lockable Rubber Zipper Pulls and Handles * Removable, Adjustable Hefty-Grade Nylon Shoulder Strap with Comfort Padded Shoulder Pad * Industrial Grade Thick Tooth Zippers * Adjustable, Molded Velcro Gear Divider for Storage Flexibility * Nylon, Velcro Gear Strap to Hold Equipment in Place * Quick Access, Oversized Utility / Headphone Storage Pocket with Quick Grab Netting Compartment to Store Small Accessories * Microphone Pocket with ID Storage * Snap-on/Snap-off Mobile Phone Holder * Fits Several PA, Recording, DJ Mixers, and Other Equipment

If it helps, I spoke with Eminence and their basses are made in China by a small family-run business. They then receive final assembly and QC in the US.

[quote name='elros' post='456485' date='Apr 7 2009, 03:12 PM']Are you talking about the bass compatability of the Roland Gr-20? It still needs to be set to "bass mode" though. This is done by holding down two buttons when you switch it on... I don't remember which ones though.[/quote] Yep, that's all set correctly. Having played around with the unit some more now I've adjusted the sensitivity and also tried the various "feel" settings, which have improved tracking no end.

£20 a set posted in the UK anyone?

[quote name='martin lee' post='453634' date='Apr 3 2009, 07:55 PM']Hi All, For Sale! my EA rig, bought the head and cab new just over a year ago and has only been giged a few time and used for recording[/quote] Lovely stuff. I use an iAmp500 with this same model of cab (and also a CXL112) and it's really marvelous stuff. Best of luck with the sale.

[quote name='RichardH' post='453165' date='Apr 3 2009, 11:41 AM']Now sporting a set of black Galli Tapewounds Looking at your avatar, I reckon they'd look very nice with black tuners rather than the shiny chrome 'uns.[/quote] What are the Gallis like? I really quite like the Godin strings (made by d'Addario I think), but the Galli strings seem to get a good write up. And yes, the thought had crossed my mind. I need to weigh the tuners to see the difference!

[quote name='RichardH' post='453084' date='Apr 3 2009, 10:53 AM']Interesting - thumb rest pics not even on the Godin site yet, though they mention the spruce top[/quote] I spotted it in the NAMM report on [url="http://www.godinguitars.com/winternamm09_1.htm"]this[/url] page. Yours looks lovely.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='451896' date='Apr 1 2009, 08:03 PM']Did you download and install the bass compatibility update from the Roland site? [url="http://www.roland.com/products/en/_support/dld.cfm?ln=en&dsp=0&iCncd=311"]http://www.roland.com/products/en/_support...0&iCncd=311[/url][/quote] No, as all that info was in the manual I assumed it's preloaded in the unit.

[quote name='RichardH' post='451802' date='Apr 1 2009, 06:04 PM']Interesting with the thumb rest. IIRC the original version of this (was it called the Acousticbass then) had this, but it was dropped for the A4/5 models. I assume this is an aftermarket fitment?[/quote] Nope, it's standard on the new 2009 model, along with a spruce (not cedar) top.

I've recently switched to Euphonic Audio from Epifani and the difference is amazing with my acoustic basses and guitars. I think my Wal sounds better through EA too.

Quick update. Tried the bass out at a full rehearsal on Friday night and it was great. Really nice presence in the mix, had the volume and punch of a soliday body but the minute I started playing up the neck it went totally upright in the tone. Everyone in the band thought it sounded great, and combined iwth our keyboardp players new Nord Stage we were enjoying the vibe very much! And having been tipped off to a Roland GR20 clearout at Andertons (thanks Ed!) I also picked one of these up and gave it a quick try last night. It took a couple of minutes to do the initial setup but I was very quickly playing all sorts of weird and wonderful instruments through the bass. To answer CK's question about the tracking, some of the patches worked perfectly all the way down to open B, but others were rubbish below open A. I think I'll need to spend time playing with the attack to see if this can be sorted, but I'm sure I'll soon suss out which patches are useful and which aren't anyway. I suspect the tracking would be much better with a fretted bass. So, fantastic piece of kit. Really chuffed.

I'm thinking of consolidating the extra stuff I take to a gig in one gig bag to rule them all. Specifically I'm thinking of the following bits: Roland GR20 Synth (13"x10"x4") PV6 Mixer (8"x10"x3") 3 x Kettle leads 3 x guitar leads Various patch lead Spare string sets Spare batteries Tool kit Ear plugs 2 x Hercules collapsible mini stands I could even add my iAmp500 (13.5"x11"x3.5") into the mix as well, if I can find a suitable case. Any suggestions? I'm thinking a soft case with adjustable padded compartments, plus one or two outer pockets to take all the little bits and bobs. Cheers Gareth

My new Godin came with D'Addario chrome flats on it. I've never liked flats before but these are lovely strings; just the right amount of tension, lovely feel under the fingers, and they sound great too!
