[quote name='guiguite' post='189299' date='Apr 30 2008, 10:12 PM']i know but what can i do ?

the problem is that i had maybe 4/5 perfect trades but happy buyers seems not really keen on giving any feedback (and god knows i chased them for it) and the only ones who were dodgy and from where i pulled out ended putting negative feedback... so well.. i don't see any solution right now.[/quote]

New ebay account? Sell some low cost items first and get at least something. This is nothing personal but I would trust somebody with 0 feedback over you at the moment!

Wish you luck with the sale though. I am surprised you can't shift this stuff. Glock stuff is good stuff - the benchmark over in Germany.

Funny you should mention that...

Ferrets answer is probably the best... but if you are on a tight budget... this may be another option for you....

I'm not quite sure what you have got speaker set up wise, I don't know because it is getting late but it didn't scan well... but anyway, it looks like you want to do something like this. We modded up this cab and this is the result -

Easy to follow crossover installation - oddly enough the thicker cables go to the tweater and the thinner cables go to the woofer. No problems. Sounds great - even with a cheapo bullet tweeter of eBay. The Seleniums in my EBS cabs sound better to my ears, but to be honest, for the diffence in cost and on the gig, it really is quite here or there.

...this it would seem.

(See page 2 for restoration... of sorts!)

Not being funny dude, but with feedback like that, I'd be scared shitless buying something like that off ebay.

This deal never went through... so it's still for sale. Any takers?

PS - he's based in Derby. PM me for contact details.

[quote name='finnbass' post='184016' date='Apr 23 2008, 06:54 PM']Purely IMO, 4mm is not a 'shim', it's a block.

A playing card or piece of acetate, as cited above, might constitute a shim.[/quote]

Exactly.

[quote name='ped' post='184003' date='Apr 23 2008, 06:39 PM']I wonder if he 'noticed' the 'lack of sustain' before or after he saw the shim? He probably saw it and has decided to try and get some sort of compo.[/quote]

Even so... but with a 4mm shim I would start asking questions about what I had just bought...

My friend is selling his 4 string bass by luthier/pickup guru Jim Cairnes.

Details are as follows -

American white ash body - dark cherry sunburst (explorer-esque body)
Maple neck/fret board.
Cairnes pickup (music man style)
Serial number on head and neck plate.
Tweed hardcase included

Shout out for more info! Pics to follow shortly.

Thanks

At home... probably my looper.

Solo stuff always sounds good with a reverb, or chorus or both...

but for one pedal alone...

[quote name='D-COOPER' post='181005' date='Apr 20 2008, 01:37 PM']All look very nice.Iv recently placed an order for a Rumour 5 string but still to decide on colour and f/board wood etc.Does anyone know if these are the new batch i heard Bernie talking about or a mix of old and new?[/quote]

These are a mixture. The ones that Bernie has been talking about most are the walnut ones (e.g. the four pictured together)

[quote name='urb' post='180970' date='Apr 20 2008, 12:24 PM']Sorry for the bump - just wanted to say thanks boys - really glad you dig the tunes/vibe/playing - s'all good

Thanks

Even with an ex-Blue Peter presenter on guitar...!

Thanks for the pics - I have a question for you -

did you cut the foam? or is that a pluck and pick thing like mentioned earlier?

[quote name='3V17C' post='180227' date='Apr 18 2008, 11:43 PM']yeah my old singer was in a band with bernie a few years back and he vaguely quizzed him about it. by the time i got it it was active, and had a battery compartment in the back, the cover of which had some electronics company name on it but can't think what it was. the volume knob was push/pull for active on or off. i picked the bass up s/h in a small guitar shop in norwich. it came in one of those now sought after Wal lozenge cases too!

Cool - of course, the "Rumour-esque" shape was still evolving at this time... we can quite clearly see the evolution of the shape from the natural bass, to the Lowden bass, to the GB bass we know today.

[quote name='3V17C' post='178330' date='Apr 16 2008, 09:13 PM']well its defo an early goodfellow and if you got it fdr the price of a used squire thats a bargain! the body shape is the same as my old 001 with the bump out of the bottom and two strap buttons. mine had the same 'G' logo but not the writing underneath. here she be...when last seen for sale in a shop somewhere! doh - big mistake getting rid of that!

Just spoke to Bernie and he confirmed that he built this in his shed in 83/84 or something like that. The Goodfellow bridge was added later. This was before he became a full time luthier and it was just a hobby. It was originally built for Mark Pinto. It should be passive and have Kent Armstrong pickups in it (assuming it hasn't been modified since being built).

[quote name='ped' post='179596' date='Apr 18 2008, 10:58 AM']Cheers! That looks interesting and quite enjoyable.[/quote]

Just seen that they do a custom foam job for you if you sent them a tracing...

[quote name='ped' post='179585' date='Apr 18 2008, 10:50 AM']Think I might get a couple of Pelican cases - they come with solid blocks of foam to cut yourself yes? What is the best way to cut it? They look quite lightweight, too, am I right?

They come with Pick n" Pluck foam... apparently.

Are you saying the Airline ignored this? If so was it reported back to the MU?




Completely ignored them! The whole situation was bizarre, and Easyjet's staff were downright rude. Not sure what the MU came back with as I haven't been on a gig with that guy since. Would love to know though.[/quote]

What does the MU say about taking instruments on planes?
