  1. Thank you guys..much appreciated. I have the opportunity of getting a cheap Tokai so i might just give it a thrash!!
  2. Looking at getting myself a T-bird, didn't really want to spend all that cash straight off on a Gibbo and realize it's not for me, so i was wondering what these Tokai fellers are all about!? Anyone got one or owned one that could give me a bit of a feeler about em'?? Any info would be greatly appreciated... Thank you very glad...
  3. Dunlop Formula No 65 to clean the bodies on my Spector, Fender and Stingray...( great product!) Dr Stringfellow Lem-oil on the rosewood fretboard of my Spector (apparently Lem-oil should only be used on rosewood). Then a smidge of Birchwood Casey gun oil for the maple boards on tuthers...
  4. I've just been trying different string gauges and tweaking the trussrod all afternoon, and i just cant get the correct action that i feel comfortable with! Absolutely gutted but it's gonna' have to go...it just doesn't give me that aaaaahhhh feeling when playing it. Fleabay here i come!....
  5. Thanks for the reply's guy's, much appreciated... I've checked out the Lakland vid, and the MM website, i found that i can only set it upto the MM standard factory set up. If it goes a smidge lower then it does get buzzy and rattley....although i can live with the rattle, the buzzing is very pronounced through my rig. I think i need go away and set it up with a set of 45-100 gauge and re-adjust the neck to suit...(just for peice of mind regarding any possible issues with the neck.... Monz...i did try 65-130, and this did slightly smooth it out a tadge, but the string height was still quite high for my liking. I've loved these bases ever since i was a nipper, and i would hate to think i can't acheive the set up i require from it... Keep your eyes open on the for sale section..
  6. Ok, got myself a 1995 EB MM, black with maple neck... Struggling with the action at the mo' and a few rattles and buzzes...if i go any lower than the string heights stated below it gets horrible I realize there's my right hand playing style to take into account also...this can be quite vigorous so to speak I tune B,E,A,D with a string gauge of 50-115 heavy.. The measurements on the 12th fret, E /B to underside of string, is around 2.8mm A (E) string 12th fret 2.2mm. D (A) string 12th fret 2.0mm G (D) string 12th fret 2.0mm Is this a decent action set up for a MM or am i being to picky?? I usually play a Spector Euro 5 LX and the action sits at least 0.2mm lower than the MM... I play with a pick by the way....there i said it lol!

  13. Purchased from a fellow BC'er only several months ago here we have my Toby 6.... The bass is thru neck [maple and wenge construction w/ rosewood board] with maple wings, in cherry red. Fitted with new bridge [the originals are meant to be cack - yes, the stock bridge was absolute garbage! and the preamp is an EMG BQS 3-band eq. The string spacing at the bridge is 16mm and 10mm at the nut. It weighs 10lbs. This is a fantastic bass to play and a has a great deal of tones that can be dialed in with ease.... Action fantastic, playability is great, (even with my stubby sausage fingers lol). New set of Rotosounds fitted..(it's all i could find at the time lol). The only reason for sale is, an absolute childhood yearning for a Musicman Stingray.. Little dink on the top horn, but otherwise very good condition.

Will post at buyers expense...or will meet locally in the Staffordshire area. Bank Transfer or paypal gift payment accepted..... Thank you very glad...
  14. I'll keep this as breif as possible..... Hartke 3500 amp, 4.5XL cab, 115XL cab, all at 8 ohms. Anyway, last night i was only running through the 4.5 cab, volume level 2... I was trying out an OBD 3 pedal, connected via a Korg tuner, dbx parametric equaliser and TC comp/gate (all rack mount). When i pressed the pedal i had a serious amount of hiss..ok, i half expected this! Tried to adjust the TC unit to cut down on the hiss....No such luck! Dissconected all other units and connected bass directly to amp. Checked all leads, and batts in bass....still got the hissing and quite a severe loss of power! I have turned the amp upto 9 and it doesn't even rattle the windows...lol. Tried the amp solely through the 115 cab and it acts exactly the same. So, im thinking amp and not cabs dead... Cant really hook it up and cross reference it with anything else until next Monday's rehearsal.. Also had a quick look inside the amp, could'nt see any obvious schorch marks or blown components,...valve also looked intact. Didn't have time to check for dry joints. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.......
