[font="Arial"]Hey folks For sale is the rig that I have been using exclusively with chart topping band [i]Stiltskin[/i] and the current touring show [i]Genesis Klassic[/i]. It's simply time for a change... Eden WT800B 2 x 400w stereo head - includes rear panel Speakon connections. Recently serviced with a preamp valve replacement. Rackmounted in a Boschma 2U rotocase. (for technical details please check here: [url="http://www.eden-electronics.com/products/amps/"]http://www.eden-electronics.com/products/amps/[/url]) £750. [b]SOLD[/b]. Eden D410XLT - double ported 4x10" 700w cab. 4 ohms. Incredible cab - compatible with the most powerful amps. Made-to-fit protective cover included. Slots in base for removable casters [b]£425[/b]. Eden D210XST - super powerful and lightweight 2x10" 500w cab. 4 ohms. Made-to-fit protective cover included. £350. [b]SOLD[/b] pending usual. Pickup preferred, but will negotiate delivery costs with buyer depending on which items are desired. If you are interested and wish to try it out for yourself, please get in touch and we can arrange a meeting. I'm afraid I don't have more detailed pictures of the items. I look after my gear and I expect long service from what I use. The amp has always been protected in a case so is in good condition. The cabs have been in better condition, but as I said, I look after my gear so in my view are in great condition for well travelled boxes. The carpet finish is still well intact and I try to keep the speakers dust-free. Their present appearance shall probably remain with continued use of their protective covers. Thanks for reading, Lawrie[/font]

[quote name='birdy' date='Jan 5 2009, 06:45 PM' post='371170'] Had a look and couldn't see a thread dedicated to SAD's and I have just got my 6th one (cheers Trev) and so thought I would start it with details of my new delivery. Sonic Blue MV5 with VTC soon to be fitted. Hi So is this [i]the [/i]dedicated Sadowsky thread?! If so, I'll add pics of my two NYC 5 strings as soon as I get the chance. In the meantime, here's my mate Gil's stunning 24 fret currently up on eBay....

Advice - achieving synthbass sound on Jamiroquai's Canned Heat

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='439946' date='Mar 20 2009, 02:02 AM']Thanks for making me listen to that... It's a bit tricky because there's a filter sweep used, but it's only triggered occasionally, so if you were using an envelope filter you'd have to be really careful about your playing dynamics and set the filter's sensitivity pretty low. The EHX Bass Micro Synth would be a good solution, it could cop that tone, and do the filter triggering easily too - there's a trigger threshold for its sweep, rather than it being envelope-following, so it's more predictable and controllable and keyboard-sounding. Alternatively you could do it with a Boss OC-2 (or similar fat-sounding analogue octaver), any semi-subtle filter with a sensitivity control, and something to provide a little dirt between the OC-2 and filter to give that bit of colour when the filter starts to open. But you'd have to be quite disciplined with your picking hand.[/quote] Thanks for listening to that.... You've just sold me on trying the EHX Bass Micro Synth. Cheers for your time! -

Thanks for that. Yeah, the filter I get. How about the synth bass sound on Anastacia's [i]I'm Outta Love [/i]while we're at it? -

[quote name='birdy' post='332874' date='Nov 20 2008, 09:49 AM']No one interested in this at all?[/quote] I've been interested in it since your first post, but driving down from Fife isn't an option I have one already but it lives on the continent so another one for my UK gigs may seem like an indulgence in such delicate times! -

[quote name='butlerk02' post='32505' date='Jul 16 2007, 12:48 PM']Hi all, Looking for someone who can teach me at an advanced level if anybody knows of anyone. Also, what kind of rate should i be expected to pay. Used to have clasical guitar lessons years ago and that was £12 an hour? Cheers Keith[/quote] Hi Keith Did you have any luck finding a tutor? One of my students will be moving from Fife down to the Warrington area this summer and will also be on the hunt. we'd all appreciate any recommendations. If it helps, I charge £20 per hour for one-to-one tuition. Students come to me once a fortnight. All the best Lawrie

[quote name='largo' post='174116' date='Apr 10 2008, 06:51 PM']Hi Lawrie, I can't believe Gil has converted you as well. I must admit I have been tempted but the Sadowsky I wanted was quoted at $4600 and I still have duty to pay on that, so £3K for a Jazz bass was just a bit too much. How does Gil pay his mortgage ? Is it 4 or 5 he has now? You should have stuck to your Warwick if you wanted the extra, extra, extra wide spacing ;0)[/quote] Well you [i]did[/i] ask....... I was a Sadowsky convert when Jason Newsted started playing them with Metallica back in the mid-ninties!! Once I'd become aware of the respected players of the bass world and how they also used them, I got Overwater basically to build me a jazz 5 to similar specs. Their third attempt was a beauty, but the weight deformed my neck and back (almost!) and never quite sounded like an old Fender. A friend of mine owns it now. Once I'd visited Sadowsky's shop in Brooklyn back in 2002, it was only a matter of saving up the cash to take the plunge. Gil got his first and he was kind enough to let me use it at Glasgow concert hall for the televised [i]Ealtain[/i] gig. When I saw and heard the broadcast I was blown away by the bottom end and the punch, and I had kept the preamp flat all night! So now I have 2 and I swear by them for the majority of my work - recording and performing. I still have my 2 Streamer Stage Ones because Sadowsky or any jazz bass for that matter simply can't do [i]that[/i] sound. IMHO of course. And regards to string spacing, any less than 19mm to me now feels like a guitar!!! Must be my extra long fingers

[quote name='largo' post='172559' date='Apr 8 2008, 07:05 PM']Yep, I can vouch for the last post by Ewan. Don't know Ewan personally but I certainly know Mr Gilbass ! I've tried my best to talk him out of his Sadowsky fixation for years but he's having none of it. Nice preamps but 19mm spacing ain't all it's cracked up to be, Gil ;-) With the hike in new Sei prices £1300's about right, in my opinion but I never got near that with my last 2 sales. S[/quote] How you doin' S? I feel compelled to say that of course I love my Sadowskys, but they'd have 20mm string spacing if I had my way!!!!!

Worth trying is the Eden 210XST. I find there's more bottom end at lower volumes than two single 12s, although having them is a great option too. The Eden is relatively light for such a top end bass cab and isn't much wider than the DB750 in a rackcase. Happy hunting. I'm quite excited for you :-)
