Salt on your Bass?

Hello.

I think everyone knows the deal with these on here. Unfortunately, and very very reluctantly, I'm in a position where I have to let this go. Not been used a great deal: 2 Rehearsals and 2 gigs only. Its immaculate, its light, it sounds amazing, and is loud....very loud!!

The compact has always been my go to cab, I've recently acquired a second compact, as well as some other gear and something has to go now.

As I say, perfect condition as I do really really look after my stuff (no marks/scuffs etc), comes with a roqsolid cover (unpadded). Looking for £375, and ideally pickup/meet somewhere london/ west london.

I really love this, and it is a massively reluctant sale.....

I'll get a pic up in the next day or two, any queries, drop me a line......

Cheers

Edit to clarify its the non tweetered version.
2nd Edit to clarify its the steel grill version, not silver cloth.

Bought an Iron Ether Oxide from Tuco - top man, perfectly executed transaction and I'm very happy with the outcome! Recommended, no worries here!!

Is this the black one? Got a pic? Cheers

...and back at ya!

I'm pretty interested ....... PM coming

I see. I understand why you're doing that celebratory dance now!

On with the search! cheers!!

Hi, is this still available?

Sold a strap to this chap. Easy going and prompt payment. Id be happy dealing with him again. Thumbs up!

bump?

Do it!!

I had this problem a while back - I have a custom oversized five string thunderbird, and asked for some assistance (probably in the wrong section though!!).

Here's the link: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=98829&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=98829&hl=[/url]

Theres some good links in there to some stuff that looks like its in stock, from thunderbird owners. I ended up going all custom shop because nothing came close to protecting my bass properly, and fitted properly cause its so bloody big!

I did find though that bar about 3 inches at the top, it did almost fit into a ritter bag. That made me a bit nervous though due to the headstock lean, and some disasters I've read about where snappage has occured

Anyway, hope this helps!!

Ok, another bump, and a price drop! £135 Posted. At £220 new this is a stonking deal! Been a little interest so far, but no bites. Again, this is immaculate, boxed and power supply!

Remember this is 7 effects, 9 presets and a dual engine to stack any 2 up as you like.....thats £19.29 per single effect! Or only £15 per preset!!

Effects are:
Chorus
Tri-Chorus
Flanger
Through Zero Flanger
Phaser
Tremolo
Vibrato

Mid Monday, Post Weekend Blues, Bump.....

Measurements added and a price drop!

I used mine in anger last night at rehersal through two ampeg 15s. Very, very nice amp! I love the tube break up it gives with the gain cranked. Its such an aggressive little box and it cuts through a mix wonderfully! I love it!

However, in my haste to play it i forgot to switch the impedence to 4 ohms! Woops! Only realised an hour into things! Seems ok though. Im guessing i got lucky and no damage has been done in the long term??! Lesson learnt though!

One thing i noticed is the volume curve us very steep.

Absolutely in love with it though and i love the aesthetics as well! Bonus!

To be honest, I dont know the technicals. I asked the same question before I bought it.

I believe these used to be known or originally called "Fretsling Straps" which were discontinued. Now the S Strap is a recreation/reissue following a few requests from the old school. The guy who originally came up with the concept apparently just stumbled across the design, it worked and they went to market for a while.

To rip off someone else's description: it goes over your shoulder and curves in to the center of your body which kinds raises the upper wing a bit. It also shifts the bass further back and brings 1st position in closer to your body. It makes it more comfy, which in turn assists with the dive.

I hope that helps. I'd never heard of them before it was suggested to me when purchasing my case. It just doesnt sling my bass as low as I'd like (ah bu**er! forgot to get the measurements!), so no point keepitn it.

Here's a couple of threads elsewhere on the net where its mentioned:

This is Glenn's website (although there's not much on there) who I got the case from. Great leather worker, although the strap is very simple: [url="http://www.glenncronkhite.com/"]http://www.glenncronkhite.com/[/url]

Any interest at £145? Posted.

This is in mint condition - it was on my board for a while, I just never stomped on it!

Cheers!

At last some sense!

It is all about the 418 in the modern world! With 4, 5 and 6 string electric and acoustic basses being used by many players, is there really a solution to properly support the modern bassist?! No?? Well think again!! Portable and articulate, the new 418 removes the thunder from your bass tone. One easy load in or out and youre away! Of course, for some nicely defined highs, why not add a 410 for the perfectly balanced bass rig!

Expert village - cause todays bassists are so darn unpredictable!

[quote name='Quoth'd' post='1146552' date='Mar 1 2011, 10:56 PM']I wanna 418 now . . . Can I get that? ohh and a 4k head so the sound engineer can hear me from inside the booth & he won't need to DI me then [/quote]

B b b b bump???!

That looks beautiful!

[quote]I know exactly what this one's not gonna do... [/quote]

....Get a 410 to go with your brand new 18" speaker??

This post has made my day! I've just pulled the trigger on another cab, and been thinking about what romantic gestures or excuses I can come up with to soften the inevitable fall out!

I've contemplated the following over the last couple of days:
1. Just putting it in the spare room and seeing if she notices - "Yeah, something has changed in here.....I cant quite put my finger on it though..... ".
2. Out and out lying - "what are you talking about, thats always been there".
3. A romantic night out and dropping it in casually over dinner - "On this perfect evening, you look more beautiful than ever my darling. By the way, I've got a new bass cab, I bet you cant wait to see it".
4. Elaborating the truth slightly over recent sales: "yeah, you know that strap I sold on basschat? Yeah, that covered the purchase of this! No, I couldnt believe it either!".

In fairness, my lady's always pretty supportive about gear, but I have just acquired a new amp and new bass, and now a cab - consequently I've been feeling the same way as you!!

Congratulations on the purchase! Thats a great price!! Keep it! I'm not a fan of selling unless a) you have to or b.) you need to liqudise the asset!!

Edit cause b came up as cool!!

Always an upright guy in my book!

I purchased an ARIA SWB Lite (upright bass - get the pun!?!) from him. Perfectly executed purchase and top bloke! Thanks very much!!

I'm selling this unused, all leather, black, hand cut "S" bass strap.

Lovely wide and comfy suits any bass but its ideal with any bass, but partticularly thunderbirds as it assists slightly in curing some of the neck dive associated with them (sorry, I cant tell you why! ).

I got this from glenn cronkhite in the us when I bought a new gig bag. Unfortunately it doest sling my bass as low as I'd like and I don't use it.

Measurements: 3" wide (7.8cm). 4'5" (130cm) long as the crow flies on the longest setting.

I think I've worn it once for 5 minutes in total.

Here's two low quality pics the strap laid out:

And an arty shot!

Well Ibanez came back pretty quickly! As follows:

"Thanks for the email and sorry to hear about the problems with your pedal, my thoughts are that it maybe something in the pedal, possibly the main pcb board that is causing the problem, or it maybe something really simple as the pedal is sticking at a certain point and causing it to disengage.

Either way my advice would be to contact your local Ibanez retailer who maybe able to have a look over the pedal for you."

Off to the retailer. Guess it clears that up anyway, needs a fix!
