Hi all, I'm selling my home practice Amp as I need both space and cash for my nee daughter. Very nice for home practice with inbuilt tuner (that handles a low b nicely) various Amp/cab models and decent built in effects. Also has a good aux in and headphone to jam with your iPod, YouTube etc late at night. I've hardly used this and had it less than a year, although taken the sticker off the front. I live in Bedford but commute to London so options to meet up if if interest. I'll lob up a pic or two later, and welcome any questions etc. Feedback is in the feedback thread, I'm generally awesome! Thanks for looking

I've decided to sell my Ibanez SR905 as I'm no longer using it following the purchase of a Feline Bass guitar. It's a lovely playable bass, fast comfy neck and very comfortable to wear. This is Korean built and is really versatile across genres - I've played metal, rock, soul and R&B with this. I'm selling a "package" which includes bass and strap (incl. Dunlop strap locks), hard case, stand and a new set of Rotosound strings. There is some wear to the bass - there's some buckle rash on the rear, a little bit of wear by a pickup where I used to rest my thumb - I've tried to show this as accurately as possible in pics. Happy to meet in London, or within a reasonable drive from Bedford and you're welcome to come by and have a look etc, may also consider couriering this depending on negotiation. Here's the blurb and drop me a line with any queries or if you want more pics (hopefully inserted properly!):[url="http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/andysalt01/media/DSC_0503_zps0a591d7c.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/andysalt01/media/DSC_0499_zps3f40c6ae.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/andysalt01/media/DSC_0500_zps42b19970.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/andysalt01/media/DSC_0502_zps2cb59f30.jpg.html"][/url] "Sleek, sexy, and sonically versatile—the SR905 bass is at home in the studio and on any stage. The Ibanez SR905 bass is an incredibly well-crafted and equipped bass for its price. The slim, fast SR5 neck extends through the figured maple body for enhanced sustain. Its rosewood fretboard is fitted with medium frets and has oval abalone markers. The Accu-Cast B25 bridge provides easier string changes, single-screw saddle and height adjustment, and improved stability. For pickups, it sports 2 Bartonlini MK1s which integrate perfectly with the active Bartolini MK1 3-band EQ. It's a bass that will excel in any style of music. Features •SR5 thru-body neck •5-piece maple and bubinga neck construction •Figured maple body •Rosewood fretboard with 24 medium frets and oval abalone marker •Accu-Cast B25 bridge •Bartolini MK1-5 neck pickup •Bartolini MK1-5 bridge pickup •Black chrome hardware with black pickups Happiness is owning a bass of such a high caliber.

Not meanign to derail this, but how does the BDI21 compare with the VT? Is it worlds apart of can you dial in a similar-esque vibe?

Hi, im considering chnging my bass. I like p-basses and spector at the mo, but was wondering whether there was any reason why split coil pups dont make much of an appearance on 5 string basses......unless ive missed something?? Is there a technical reason for this? Its mainly humbuckers and single coil. Just got me wondering whilst im looking around. Cheets

Neo Speakers and D Class amps sounding thin? A possible solution?
Salt on your Bass? replied to Dood's topic in Effects
Been considering these for a little while - this may just tip it thanks for the info. Whats the competition on the market for the Aphex? Anything close with a much smaller footprint? I used to use a VT with Class D heads and that really 'heft' them out. Good concept -
Slayer &the big4 ...
Salt on your Bass? replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in General Discussion
I saw the big four in poland, sonisphere a few years back. Great show, but even then it felt like they were all acknoledging time by coming togeyher and the promo that attracted. For me, slayer were the most impressive band of the day followed by megadeth, anthrax and metallica. Everyone stepped out to perform i felt. I really like metllica but they tour so much, do a festival nearly every year, and their performances i think have become a bit boring and predictable - almost too polished. I agree testament should be in the big four, probably over anthrax in my view who manged to lose their way a bit, but still retain their accolade. -
Hi all, anyone using the vt or deluxe as your main overdrive/distortion/fuzz? Interested in band experience. I owned one a while back and liked it but was running loads of other distortions at the time so offloaded it. I like the tube emulation, but wondered about the gnarlier side of it with a band. Thanks

Something weird with subscription page
Salt on your Bass? replied to Silvia Bluejay's topic in Site News
Yeah, I get the same - the subscription only applies to market place, is that correct?? -
recommendations for a bass overdrive/distortion
Salt on your Bass? replied to jamescage's topic in Effects
For distortion, id give a plus 1 to a rat. I ran a moded turbo rat for a while which was quite gnarly. Currently using a tech21xxl which i love nd find more aggressive than the rat. The aguilar aggro is also pretty good in this area. Id reccommend buying second hand - any dirt pedals ive ever tried sound great at home, but in a mix is where you really find out if ifs for you. Buying used means you can move them in and out and only suffer postage. Enjoy the hunt. Oh yeah, theres a wounded paw battering ram going in for sale. Worth checking out. -
Hi, Looking to trade for no other reason than I fancy a change. My ideal trade is for a Swollen Pickle. I could be open to other suggestions.... This is a brilliant pedal, i've had it for a couple of years, never been off my board and I may regret changing. It's the version with the mid switch and feels indestructable. Here's a pic: [attachment=127977:SFX.jpg] It has velcro on the bottom at present. Trade value - reckon circa £90 including postage? If you're not familiar with these, here's a link: [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=micro_fuzz"]http://www.sfxsound....page=micro_fuzz[/url] includes pics, sounds and description. Any queries, drop me a line. Cheers

Best trumpet player I've heard

How bout 'biker groove'?! You can have that for free

Yeah, I do agree - it stems from a lack of respect and appreciation of actually how long it takes to organise anything band related. Personally, I dont mind those that turn their phones off regularly etc and I know thats how they are - you just have to accept theres a certain approach to ensure they get the message. I find it a major problem when I know someone is always on their phone, updates their twitbook or whatever status, but still hasnt responded to a text about a gig. Or worse, responding to an email answering 2 out of 3 questioons not band/gig related and ignoring the one that is. They then wonder why you stop arranging rehearsals and gigs and then everytime you see them say "ah man, we should really jam sometime and get the band going again"....YEAH!? RIGHT!!! WHY DONT YOU BOOK SOMETHING UP AND SEE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS WHEN PEOPLE DONT RESPOND, THEN THE REHEARSAL ROOM IS FULLY BOOKED AND THE GIG'S BEEN GIVEN AWAY!!!! Cant say it bothers me that much though.....! [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1359644968' post='1958156'] No - it's great. But when all you need is a 'yes' or 'no' from six or seven people, and you have a life to get on with, a group text message wins every time. [/quote]

Thats pretty annoying, but I've got to confess at being pretty poor in replying to texts myself - I read it and if you dont respond straight away, forget its come in. If its band related though then its always a priority and does get responded to. Is it so bad having to speak to people? I know text is easier, quicker and the preferred form of communication for most people, but I dont mind talking ot bandmates, particulalry if its improtant and I know it'll be more painful if I text and wait.

I thought it was a direct reply to the advert......I think you may have goten away with it....other than for the massive edit!! [quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1359637175' post='1957972'] [s]In the nicest possible way (really!). You sound like an idiot. You probably aren't but you sound like it. All that stuff about mp3's and copyright..... good grief!! If you *are* an idiot... oh well, good luck I suppose.[/s] EDIT Ahh sh*t.... I should learn to read. This isn't somebody saying "what do you think of my ad" is it? Well, in that case, he's an idiot. :-D [/quote]

Wow! I've been using this site a lot recently and finally getting to the point of talking to some guys about some kind of project. Would I reply to this ad? Nope. Why not? Because he knows a zillion artists, and I only know about 1,500. I very much like his no nonsense "Music isnt for a good time" approach though, together with meeting the right people and he'll be a success. I think theres better ways to entice people to respond to an ad [u]and[/u] end up with what you're looking for. In summary, best of luck to the guy and it'd be interesting to be a fly on his PM box!

Bought a Cab from Buff. Really easy bloke to deal with, communicative and posted it in a shot! Took my plonkerisms in his stride, very nice bloke to deal with and wouldnt hesitate in recommending. I echo all of the positive feedback above. Many thanks! Edit - spelling

Fairly cheap new rig - , 8x10, 6x10 or 2x10/4x10 combination?
Salt on your Bass? replied to RussFM's topic in Amps and Cabs
Thanks bluray, thats some interesting info. Cheers -
Not sure why youd specifically stay away from ashdown, particularly if you havent heard them. Both mag and abm cabs have served me well over the years. As above though, just keep an eye on classifieds, theres some great gear to be had not very expensively if you dont need lightweight lightweight - peavey, trace in particular. Enjoy the hunt!

Salt on your Bass? replied to RussFM's topic in Amps and Cabs
Nice rig! I may go that way soon. You mean the 2 210s are noticeably louder than the single 410? (I guess the 410 is 8 ohm?) but not louder than the 610 arrangement? Thanks -

Salt on your Bass? replied to RussFM's topic in Amps and Cabs
Its to do with comb filtering/cancellation and wave spacing or something along those lines, but dont want to reopen a debate on that. plenty in other threads. -
Yeah, i noted tesco in some google searches last week for gear. Good for gak i suppose, but weirdly seeing a tesco logo over the top of a shiney new bit of kit tarnishes and dampens my gas for said item - even though its from gak. Its also 30 quid more expensive than gak direct....maybe some search engine optimisation would have been better time spent? I cant see many musicians buying mid to higher end gear without shopping around, and certainly not during a weekly shop.
