  1. I'm using a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2 into a Genz Benz NX2-212 cab giving me a whopping 600 watts to play with I really like my rig as it is very versatile sound wise,especially with my very nice Blast Cult pickup/preamp system it always gives the tone i want & is pretty damned loud when required.
  2. Cheers to everyone for the interest but this beautiful bass is now sold & will soon be in the hands of its new daddy
  3. Not quite the same but i had a KZ5 & it was awesome,great build quality,lovely to play,sounded great it just had too many damn strings for me.
  4. [quote name='paddy109' timestamp='1409636636' post='2541651'] Great price! I own a 50/4 and would be well chuffed to buy a whole lotta bass for £500. Good luck. [/quote] thanks Paddy. they are a brilliant bass for sure,if i didn't have insatiable GAS for a Duke i would be keeping it. looks like this is now sold too many thanks
  5. Come on folks its the begining of a new month & my bargain bass is eagerly awaiting its new daddy or mummy,so just buy it someone
  6. [quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1409268928' post='2538261'] Bad timing, It's bank holiday week mate. [/quote] I hear ya
  7. [quote name='AndyBass' timestamp='1408909664' post='2534549'] That's a great price for a 50/4. Someone should buy this now. [/quote] many thanks,i agree [quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1409083850' post='2536235'] This deserves to be snapped up. [/quote] many thanks, i thought it would fly out of the door at this price
  8. [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1409126404' post='2536474'] Always loved the colour of this one, from your icon pic. Sadly, I'm trying to sell a DB at the moment ... and she'd go nuts if I brought another one home lol especially if it clashes with the curtains [/quote] well tell her to buy some new curtains Go on you know it makes sense Its a silly cheap price as i can't order my Duke until this one has gone as i don't have enough room in my shoe box sized house for two DB's. So come on people get yer dosh out
  9. [quote name='Raggy' timestamp='1409129373' post='2536528'] Im only on a Triumph Scrambler at the moment, I don't think it will fit on my back. :/ Is collection only, the only option? Thats a lot of only's in 2 sentences!! [/quote] nice bike,i do like the classic Triumphs,quite fancy a Bonnie or a Thruxton myself My bass is far too big to send by courier & would cost a small fortune too unless we can find a BC member who is traveling in the right direction to bring it to you.
  10. [quote name='Raggy' timestamp='1409090369' post='2536326'] That's gert lush, too far away for me though [/quote] lol Its definately worth a long drive
  11. anyone wanting a cheap but very good bass should seriously consider this beauty http://basschat.co.uk/topic/243751-strunal-504-double-bass/#entry2533716 ok its a shameless plug but hey it is a bargain (as long as you like blue)
  12. in very good condition with just a few minor knocks on the edges,but hey its done dozens of gigs during the last 2 1/2 years so these things happen,all said knocks are minor & just the paint finish has been damaged,otherwise the bass is in very good condition with no issues of any kind. i bought the bass from Thomann in January 2012,it was listed as " 1E BB 3/4 Europe Double Bass " the exact same model is no longer listed on their site. it is of course a laminate construction with an ebony fingerboard & an adjustable bridge,all fittings are in perfect working order. Edit: i have removed all the tacky stickers i had put on the bass & given it a jolly good polish up,it now looks just as good as it sounds. it was setup by our very own Mr Bassman when i first bought it so it plays very well indeed & sounds very nice too. the bass will come fitted with Innovation Super Silver strings which sound rather nice & are very easy on the fingers. [u]here's some pics [/u] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/artisan1967/media/P1000383_zpsa2eee0f5.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/artisan1967/media/P1000382_zpsd77b1c3f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/artisan1967/media/P1000381_zps2b1544d4.jpg.html"][/url] will chuck in the custom F hole covers i had made by Jim Fleeting ( £80.00 ) this a a lot of bass for a little money so come on folks snap it up collection only of course many thanks edit: i am only selling as i am suffering acute Duke Bass GAS
  13. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1408480382' post='2530674'] I just don't go there; it hurts too much and I'm usually out of tune. [/quote] me too Anywat that there lower bit is there just purely for slapping isn't it ?
  14. I hear ya i love the look of Stingrays & have owned 2 in the past but neither did anything for me so were promptly moved on. I did own an old Sabre many years ago,that to wasn't anything special.
  15. When i used a Fishman preamp i didn't plug into my amps input but plugged into the effects return socket,this bypasses the amplifiers pre amp & eq section going instead straight to the main power amplifier. So all my tone shaping was done with the Fishman & i found it much easier to get a good sound.
  16. i had awful feedback touble as i play pretty loud I ended up fitting a second sound post which kills the bass acoustically but cures the feedback very well,the bass still sounds the same when amplified. If we play a boomy room i also use some foam f-hole covers. I used a Plat Pro for a while but wasn't happy with the tone i had once a had dialed out the feedback so opted for the extra sound post.
  17. [quote name='jgmh315' timestamp='1406637345' post='2513237'] Yep, been eyeing up a Thumb myself. [/quote] do it you won't regret it Fit & finish quite a bit higher than the Corvette,sounds bloody awesome
  18. [quote name='jgmh315' timestamp='1406564904' post='2512494'] I recently purchased a Corvette Pro Series from Thoman and is easily the most comfortable and well balanced bass I've played. Great sound. Great fit and finish. Considering selling some off now as nothing else gets played now. [/quote] a big +1 for the Pro Series. I recently also bought a PS Corvette & was so impressed with it i then bought a PS Thumb bass which is the best bass i have ever played,was a bargain at £708 too. I much prefer it to any bass i have previously owned so would highly recommend one.
  19. Just sold my Fishman preamp to Chris,great guy to deal with. Cheers
  20. Pm replied. Looks like this is now sold many thanks guys
  21. [quote name='Rabbie' timestamp='1404931619' post='2497162'] It sure is an excellent piece of kit, and this is an extremely decent price for it! [/quote] thanks Rabbie i must admit i though it would sell pretty quickly on here,oh well Looks like i'm going to put this on gumtree.
  22. just sold my SG bass to Francis,he is without doubt a very nice guy indeed,instant payment & a real pleasure to deal with,very highly recommended. one of life's true really nice,genuine people.
  23. [quote name='eude' timestamp='1404937265' post='2497234'] You had any experience of the German Bolt-on Thumb? Just wondering if the tone is similar...? [/quote] unfortunately i have never played a German Thumb so can't compare the sound but if they sound anything like this PS i am now gasing for one of them now It really is a fantastic bass though,i love it.
  24. Well my Pro Series Thumb bass arrived this morning & wow ! What a lovely piece of kit it is.
  25. Cure for your feedback woes kind of bump.
