    I'm downsizing my rack. This SKB Case is in 9/10 condition and is like the following - Comes with rack clips. £70 + postage.

    I'm downsizing my rack. This power conditioner is in mint condition with zero rack rash. This version is the one with the LED lights (with dimmer) instead of the bulb version which were prone to failing. Details here - putting RRP at £183. I recall paying about £150 so I'll let this go for £70 + postage. NB, the power chord is currently attached to a rack panel (with a IEC plug socket on) so that it can be mounted to the rear of a rack. This will be included in the sale. PS not interested in being beaten down in price because it can go in my bits and bobs cupboard otherwise!

    Have you looked at your amp? Possible grounding problem? Take you cab out of the equation by trying it with a different amp.

    bow finishing, not the best website but amongst the best in the business.

    [quote name='Rumble' post='1324216' date='Aug 2 2011, 01:34 PM']I've watched the dirty loops vids more times than I'm prepared to admit and they've certainly given me TRB-gas! Having sold a Status 6 string not that long ago declaring that 6 strings just weren't for me, I'm considering a U-turn just to get 'that tone'.[/quote] It takes more than the bass to get 'that tone'.

    Nice.

    [quote name='Chris2112' post='1324801' date='Aug 2 2011, 08:15 PM']The top woods look decent but the headstock shape looks fairly naff to me. I wonder what they sound like.[/quote] err... a jazz bass?

    [quote name='Machines' post='1324362' date='Aug 2 2011, 03:24 PM']Part of the fun of having different instruments for me is the different look and feel each one gives me.[/quote] I think that was Adam Clayton's thinking at Glastonbury... except I think the only thing that changed on his were the paintjobs.

    Do you play for Ceelo Green by any chance?
  13. EBS_freak
    Just out of curiosity... what pickups are in there?

    [quote name='bubinga5' post='1322673' date='Aug 1 2011, 12:22 AM']Anyone got any idea how much the original Yamaha TRB5 MK1's were when new...expensive? What do you think of these basses..[/quote] Let me guess, you watched the Dirty Loops vids and now you have TRB gas?

    [quote name='far0n' post='1323859' date='Aug 2 2011, 09:13 AM']Just curious really. [/quote] I know of a guy who sold all his basses and pretty much uses just his Variax bass. He admitted himself that it's not an exact replica of everything. But good enough. Seems like that spoils the fun to me. I've never really dug the Variax shapes (bass or guitar) to be honest but have spent many hours looking at people's projects shoehorning the electronics into something more pleasing.

    Could be worse. You could have hairy gums.

    Quite surprised that the bass is quite tame looking compared to his normal efforts! A great achievement all the same. Good on Herr Ritter! But to echo Steve-Soar, it's a shame that the preamp and pickups aren't as "revolutionary" as his designs. Same old stuff albeit in a different shell.

    [quote name='bassybill' post='1315061' date='Jul 24 2011, 08:06 PM']We always have clothes on hand for deps, including the infamous Expresso Bongo "dep's trousers". Now those really ARE eye-watering.[/quote] Actually, that sounds like enough to put any dep off!

    [quote name='bassybill' post='1313341' date='Jul 22 2011, 10:17 PM']Oh yes indeed. Gigged with the great man just last month, too. How do you know him - ex teacher of yours perhaps?[/quote] Yeah - isn't he everybody's ex-teacher? If you ever need a dep - mind you, I would have to buy some suitable attire!

    Feck - just clocked your band. Were you around in the era of Amadeus Proverbs...!?

    [quote name='tauzero' post='1303355' date='Jul 14 2011, 11:45 AM']Harumph. I've done a few Harmony Central reviews, and used them to find out about things I was interested in. I tend to discount the illiterate, the wildly enthusiastic, the irrationally negative, and those where the reviewer proudly proclaims his six months of experience, and carefully read the remaining review, which is generally very helpful.[/quote] You found the two or three generally helpful reviews then? (said with tongue firmly in cheek)

    [quote name='TomKent' post='1302726' date='Jul 13 2011, 06:56 PM']Don't think I'm the only owner in the UK, certainly not in Europe as loads of people wanted to order right there and then at Frankfurt.[/quote] Possibly not - but wanting to order and actually ordering are two different things. I've done these tradeshows. I know the reality.

    [quote name='dc2009' post='1301964' date='Jul 13 2011, 09:32 AM']This is where sites like harmony-central (and our very own BC though the reviews section could do with being more active) come into their own.[/quote] Seriously? Harmony Central reviews are the biggest load of gutter trash out there. Full of kids proclaiming that their latest toy is the best thing ever... 10 across the board... or they've done a review on their dads archtop and slated it "because it's sh1t for metal". C'mon, we've all seen them. The problem is, with the internet, everybody is an expert.
