    Complete with 25 hi res pics that look like they were taken in a cave - I can't make out any detail on those. Simply changing the contrast a bit would make them look better. But, yes, I mean no. Just no. They are rare but that's minty 51' Precision money plus change surely?
  2. Delberthot
    Wow, and only £12.05 more than a new one from Thomann We're getting there - try £60-80 plus postage

    I had a teal 4 string with rosewood board and white scratchplate and it looked awful but the combination of the colour, the larger black scratchplate and the maple look amazing. If I had the Doddies I'd be having that.

    [quote name='Mr H' post='1284525' date='Jun 27 2011, 07:47 PM']Starts July 1st - wonder if these early entries will count?[/quote] Read the T&Cs. They do not count until 1st of July so if you;ve already registered then you'll get hee haw apart from emailes every other day from Boss

    [quote name='voxpop' post='1284092' date='Jun 27 2011, 01:55 PM']Sorry to push the question... I need to know as I don't want an amp that has a fan running all the time as the noise drives me made at low rehearsal volumes. Thanks.[/quote] You could go to the Laney website yourself or even email them. They're pretty quick at getting back to you

    DON'T GO TO THE POST OFFICE There we go. Any bass I have posted or received from the US has been shipped with the neck off with the exception of my 20th Anniversary Stingray The main ones I use are Parcelmonkey and Interparcel depending on the weight or size. I do it that often that i don't even think about it now. Again, check the terms for the insurance as others have said, they're quick enough to offer you it (and in the case of Parcelmonkey you HAVE to take it or it doesn;t let you place the order) Just clicked on the Transglobal Express advert at the bottom of the page and got a quote based on rough sizes of 130cm x 40cm x 20cm of £68

    Another one of those bass players I largely ignored until I matured as a musician (is that possible? ) and only more recently discovered how great he actually was

    If you go to websites like Schaller etc they will have a diagram showing the back plate of the tuner's footprint with dimensions. You may struggle to get something exactly the same as what you have now though

    And a shot showing the cab with my amp to give an idea of the size. I particularly like using the cab on its end with the amp on top. The amp fits perfectly there.
  10. Delberthot
    Or its a case of they don't make them there any more so those ones are the best and worth more now.
  11. Delberthot
    Al Healey was kind enough to PM me a link to this diagram I've never wired a speakon before so don't know how this would translate to that from 1.4" jacks

    [quote name='simon1964' post='1282954' date='Jun 26 2011, 12:58 PM']I use the Korg DT-10. Excellent for live tuning (with a mute option) although I'm not sure whether its true bypass.[/quote] I've had one of these now for yonks. I keep it off my pedalboard as I don't always need to use pedals depending on the gig

    I shall reveal all soon.

    As someone who's owned several of both Korean and Chinese Epiphones, there is no difference. A bit like the people who pay top money for a Boss OC-2 cos its the Japanese one instead of the Taiwanese one when there's not really any difference apart from a sticker, or in the case of the Epiphone, the neck plate
  15. Delberthot
    Alternatively use Photobucket for nowt. That's what I use

    When I was a lad I used to frequently end up with a sore index finger so would move to middle + ring finger to play. Nowhere near as fast but at least I was no longer in pain

    I used to have a super foundation 2x15" cab and I remember seeing a kind of dummy Vox head where it looked like a Vox from the front but there was actually a Gallien Krueger amp hidden at the back. It was some sort of a dummy head meant to look the part but actually work

    A Hondo was my first attempt at a 4 to 5 string conversion and it was the bollocks. Single EMG 35DC in the bridge position with Pickguardian surround and 4000 style pickguard. I get the feeling that the guy who bought it is or was on here. I remember he had a 4002 as well which is almost as rare as the 4005.
  19. Delberthot
    Doesnt look the same as the [url="http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=114"]Hipshot[/url] I'll take a guess at some generic Chinese bridge

    [quote name='Doctor J' post='1274710' date='Jun 19 2011, 01:54 PM']Queen - Father To Son[/quote] Class. I've been listening to the first 3 albums a lot recently. Listening to a fair bit of the Foos at the moment but currently listening to Polly by Nirvana. I never got them when I was young and could never see what all the fuss was about but am beginning to get into them. Partially due to listening to the Foos, I'm listening to each member's other bands so No Use For a Name, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, Nirvana and The Germs

    I'm pretty good as regards to used Epiphone prices but some people are either chancers or wired to the moon. Examples: A standard red or black EB-0 is about £120 new from Thomann. A case is about £65 and a strap would not add anything to the deal - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gibson-Epiphone-EB0-bass-guitar-and-case-/120739710775?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1c1ca5c737"]£275 collection only[/url] Another one with no case, selling on behalf of an uncle. Of course you are [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EPIPHONE-RED-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR-excellent-condition-/140566702241?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20ba6da8a1"]£210 BIN[/url] Yet another complete with 'Prunes' amp or whatever its called. That's what it looks like - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bass-guitar-/150621984263?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2311c51607"]£200 but at least this one will post[/url] A thunderbird this time. £189.72 posted brand new from Thomann. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Epiphone-Thunderbird-Bass-Guitar-Vintage-Edition-/180686714641?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a11c47711"]£280 BIN with no postage[/url] An Allen woody Rumblecat this time. Normally £316.78 from Thomann, you can have [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Epiphone-Rumblekat-Allen-Woody-Signature-Bass-/220793737413?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item33685510c5"]this used example for only £435[/url] There are still some bargains to be had on Egay. Certainly not as many as there used to be but there ain't half some boneheads. Maybe I should rename this the 'used basses on Ebay offered for more than they cost new' thread and have it stickied along with Japcrap so we can all point and laugh at these poor misguided individuals

    I bought this brand new in December 2010 and it was the culmination of a lot of reading up on different cabs to decide what the best one for me was. I wanted a lightweight cab that I could lift one-handed. This one weighs 20kg I wanted a cab to use mainly as a monitor but also powerful enough to use for small to medium pub gigs without PA support. This cab is rated 400w @ 8 ohms and has been more than capable of doing exactly what I have asked of it. I wanted a solid ply cab rather than MDF. this cab is made from marine grade ply. I wanted a neo driver and I always loved those Celestion drivers that Trace Elliot used. This one is fitted with a [url="http://professional.celestion.com/bass/pdf/BN15-400X8.pdf"]400w Celestion Neo Green label driver[/url] I didn't want a flavour of the month cab either. I much prefer to decide stuff for myself as once the honeymoon period is over the vast majority of it ends up in the classifieds so I decided on this cab based on reviews from people who had been using theirs over a long period. So it ticked all the boxes and has been without a doubt the best single cab I have ever owned but things change so I am going to offer it up for sale here. Its been kept and transported in its Roqsolid cover since I bought it and because I look after my gear, the condition can very easily be described as perfect. The current price for these is [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/laney-nx115-bass-guitar-speaker-cabinet--65141"]£291 in Digital Village[/url] which is where I bought mine and given the condition and the fact that it has never been pushed, I am looking for £240. This is a collection only price and does not include the Roqsolid cover. I can post it and still have the original box to do so but I'll need to have a check to see how much it would be. These covers are made to order and the one that you can buy on their website was as a result of the measurements I supplied. they are top notch and this one in particular retails for £37 so I'd be looking for £255 for both the cab and the cover. If you want to see my glowing review of it, you can find it [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=116045"]here[/url] and if you're too lazy to Google 'Laney' then the website with the specs can be found [url="http://www.laney.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod=nx115"]here[/url] If you've managed to get through that lot then you're either interested or have nothing better to do. And now, the pictures:

    If I ever play more than one gig in a row I have to prepare myself as my fingers are generally shot after a gig. Something to cushion the pinky may be in order but if you do make sure it can;t come off easily. I once put a plaster over my index finger when I was in pain and it started coming off during a song leaving my finger and the strings incredibly sticky. If was f***ing awful. Maybe try to use your ring finger instead or even slide up and down the notes you need.
