  2. Nah just sanding, not really any technique to it lol, just attacked and hoped for the best. I think I got lucky lol, although one of the horns certainly has a unique look to it hahaha
  3. Howdy So earlier last year, i decided to sell my first proper bass, My fender USA Jazz 5 1996. I wasn't playing it, i'd gone off the colour, and the damage had stopped being cool, and was starting to bug me. So i put it up for sale here, and starting receiving some rather cheeky cash offers of around the £200 mark.. After a while, i almost sold the bass on a few occasions, and even found myself making up or exaggerating faults to put off potential buyers. So eventually i decided to keep it, and back in the cupboard it went. A month passed, and i got another offer (sensible this time) to which i declined, the offerer admitted he planned to refinish the bass! This turned on a light bulb in my head, and i started planning how i would refinish my faithful Jazz. Cut a long story short, i decided to Have a gold Jazz, with stacked knobs. I sanded the Red paint off, and sent the body off to the incredibly talented Dan Macpherson at DM guitars. 4 weeks later, i had the body back, looking great, with a faint sparkle to the gold finish. The new pots and control plate came from All Parts, which i hastily soldered together to make a working bass! After an hour of screwing bits back together, and restinging with some black roto Nexus strings, the Golden 5 String 60's stacked knob late nineties Jazz Bass Was born! The only thing i would love to do would be to get the headstock painted in a matching Gold, but to be honest i think it looks Fabulous anyway! Heres a pic with my 73 P Bass Hope you Enjoyed!
  4. Thought i best update my Shuker collection having recently welcomed another into the pack.. So here we have : [b]Singlecut 6[/b] - Commissioned by Eude.. this thing is a lovely 33" Bass, very comfy with a very direct sound, can be loud in the mix without killing other instruments.. [b]Jazz 5[/b] - My 21st Birthday present from my parents, Upgraded to an East Preamp, sounds killer, the East really has made this the most versatile bass i own. [b]Artist Pro 6[/b] - Wow, this thing i mad, sounds like a double bass and weighs nothing! crazy. Had a bit of a game getting the action where i wanted, but thats what you sacrifice for a piezo bridge i guess!
  5. check out some pics of queen in the mid eighties, john deacons p bass was black with gold hardware

  7. I owe so much of my playing to church, as i was let into that world really early on.. just regularly playing from the chord charts with different people every week was just great for my playing. Have also had some great gigs on that scene, done the big stages at soul survivor and new wine, aswell as led worship at some big events at cathedrals.. i'm really thankful i've the chance to be a part of it all
  8. No sorry, gonna hassle him for some now, Feel free to make an offer.. its never been gigged!
  9. after having 2 x 104hr's for a year now, i recently picked up a traveller 2x10 used, and now i only bother with that! incredible cab for size/weight! and andy is cool to deal with
  10. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Flightcased-Genz-Benz-1200-Watt-Bass-Head-6x10-Cab-/250819777190?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item3a660612a6#ht_500wt_1156"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Flightcased-Genz-Ben...6#ht_500wt_1156[/url] I find myself looking for a catch with this one! used to have a gbe 750 and 2x12.. this was the dream upgrade i always wanted lol
  11. these work really well with a pair of SX300's as tops.. but lack of a cross over still means the tops go full range.. never thought to try them as a bass cab though! cool idea..
  12. Yeah its quite an impressive system, for not much cash.. im gonna hassle the owner for pictures today
  13. thats an old one, pretty sure its genuine buddy
  14. Selling this on behalf of a mate who has realised he is really a keyboard player, and should leave the serious business to us lot In short, its the Yamaha BBT500 head, which is a small 500 watt little monster thats got effects, amp sims and is programable. Go down to 2 ohms also if the yamaha website is to be believed. Also included is a yamaha BBT4x10 cab, and BBT2x10, both in great nick with covers included! What a deal. Looking for £500 ono. the lot, can be picked up from lichfield/walsall/birmingham, shipping or meet ups would need to be arranged, so get in touch to chat about that.

  15. cheers dude, cheapest on ebay is 725 right now! that is a mark 2 though.. but many people prefer the mk 1
  16. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1214248' date='Apr 28 2011, 09:49 PM']I was thinking that, I know I'd rather a MM to a Fodera.[/quote] I'd take the fodera.. sell it and and buy many MM's
  17. lol.. i rented a fender roadworn jazz for a night in oslo.. wasn't cheap lol!
  18. +1 for the AK4x10, really great cab
  19. In my experience.. No, I use 2 of the 4x10's and the sd1200.. IMO, I really don't like a p bass through markbass, but anything else, I can get pretty much any sound I need
  20. If you back out of the program, does the bass sound disappear even though the app is still running? Just thinking about reading charts and stuff..
