What size is the speaker? -
Bought a lovely Eden combo off Brian, top bloke, would be more than happy to do business with him again.
-
Just bought BarnacleBob's Overwater Perception, it was an absolute pleasure doing business with him, very highly recommended. Cheers Robert!

Mike bought my old Ibanez 5-string, very nice guy to deal with, no problems at all. Recommended!

I'm selling a 5-string Ibanez CTB-5 in all-black. I've had it for a couple of years but hardly used it at all. I got it it second hand thinking I'd like to try a 5-er but just can't get on with 5 strings!! It's in decent nick, no damage as far as I can tell, probably needs a new battery for the active pre-amp, has an un-opened pack of no-name-brand strings with it, and to be honest for the price its not worth posting it. I'm looking for somewhere around £40 and would definitely prefer collection (£20 postage on a £40 guitar seems a bit daft). The bass is in Swindon, Wilts by the way. Any questions, drop me a PM... Dave. -
Hi -- really dumb question, I know, but... does it have any fret markers on the 'top' side of the neck? The neck looks gorgeous in the pictures, and then I realised that's partly because it has no dots. That might take some getting used to... cheers Dave. -
[quote name='fatback' post='723913' date='Jan 25 2010, 10:45 AM']Those Yamahas are good basses, but would benefit from a quality outboard preamp. Not to interfere with any man's righteous GAS tho. [/quote] Looks like I've been busted... I guess I'm really suffering a spot of the old GAS, it's true. Fair point on the Yamaha not being an "amateur" instrument, I do love it, and I think it will really benefit from a good setup. I'll try that first, while I work on 'er indoors a bit more before splashing out on something else. cheers Dronny

I've been playing a Yamaha BB414 for some time now, lovely bass but very much an "amateur" or "beginner" instrument, and now I'm starting to notice the uneven-ness of tone across strings/frets, and the mediocre tone of the un-effected sound, and thinking maybe I should go for a better quality instrument. OR... should I try getting it set up professionally first??? But if I was going to replace it, and I don't have a lot of money to spend on a Wal, or a Warwick, or a Ric CS4001... would a Cort be a good buy? I was thinking the A4 looked nice. So, anyone care to offer an opinion? Dronny.

Just bought a Hartke combo from Adam, very happy with the entire transaction, he's very helpful guy and I would be more than happy to do business with him again. Highly recommended! Dave.

Wow, lot's of ideas there, thanks everyone so far. Somehow I think I'll stick with a wired one, it's interesting to see that no-one's saying "yeah they are the greatest thing since..." cheers Dronny

What tuner do you use? and why? I'm looking for something to replace my no-name eBay five quid lump of cr@p and would like some opinions if anyone has any prefernces, dislikes, warnings, etc, cheers Dronny
-
(Not sure if this should be in the "gear" section?) A simple question really, are those tuners that clip onto the head of the guitar/bass/whatever any good? eBay is full of 'em but there seems something inherently dodgy about the whole idea to me... dunno why. cheers Dronny.
-
I might be interested... what's the bottom end like (just wondering how a 2x10 compares to a 12 or 15" driver)? Please get back to me if you can and see if we can work something out, it sounds like a good deal. cheers Dave.

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='630300' date='Oct 19 2009, 12:59 PM']What's your budget? Are you going to be using it for gigging? S.P.[/quote] Good questions (I should have put them in orignally!). Budget is £400 max. Gigging - yes, but usually with DI into a full PA as well.

(Just joined the forum, but I've been reading it for quite a while) I'm looking at getting a new combo, and have narrowed it down to 2 (I think -- but I keep changing my mind!). Ashdown MAG C115 300 or Fender Bassman 150 I really like the sound of the Ashdown, but the Fender has some nice touches (including the 'kickback' shape -- does anyone find that useful?) so I'd like some opinions if possible... so fire away! cheers Dave.
