  1. [quote name='Le Chat Noir' post='936940' date='Aug 26 2010, 11:08 AM']If someone doesn't take the GEB-7 I'll gladly have it off you![/quote] I've got it on hold for someone else at the moment, but if the sale falls through I'll PM you
  2. Agreed mate, it's easily the best tuner I've ever owned. I use it to do the intonation on all my instruments
  3. Well, I've downgraded to a PT Mini: The complex signal chain for those who are curious: Bass> Sonic Research ST-200> EBS Multicomp> Xotic X-Blender (Roger Mayer Voodoobass in loop)> Amp. I do miss my Subdecay Noisebox, but I never really got a chance to use it live much At least it's sitting in its box on my desk, ready to send the neighbours nuts again. And with the old PT I've made a guitar board: Just need to decide on whether or not to get a Devi Ever Hyperion or an Okko Coca Comp to fill the gap in the corner, but of course, this is definitely the wrong place to discuss such obscene excursions to the world of guitars Cheers, Bob.
  4. Thanks, Shep
  5. Hi mate, if you could post some pics that would be great as I've been interested by the Hoppus basses for a long time (especially the surf green ones.) Cheers, Bob
  6. Hi guys, I'm having a clearout so this stuff needs to be moved on 2U Flightcase - has seen the horrors of life on the road and came out the other side with some scratches, nicks, marks and a little bit of rust, but it's still as strong as a brick-s***-house. The outside is sturdy, and a thick padding of foam protects the inside rack from the shocks. This also includes a bag of screws, bolts and rubber washers to attach rack gear to and a shelf which I briefly used to rack some effects with. [b]£50[/b] (I'd rather this was collected but if you PM me I'm sure we could arrange to meet half-way, or I'd be happy to courier it if you're willing to pay for shipping.) Gibson 496R and 500T Humbuckers (Mint/As new) - Ceramic dual-coil pickups taken from a Gibson Flying V '67 reissue. They're very hot (which is why I swapped them for lower-gain alnico pups... UFO/Schenker time anyone?!?) and when plugged into a decent rig sound rather good if metal and hard-rock is your cup of tea. Not the best pickups in the world, but most defintely an improvement over the stock pups that come with a lot of cheap entry-level instruments. [b]£50[/b] for the set (price includes postage.) Kind regards, Bob.
  7. [b]ALL SOLD! Happy days [/b] Boss GEB-7 EQ - I've hardly used this at all and from what I can see it is in MINT condition (save for a bit of velcro on the bottom.) [b]SOLD![/b] Wobo Double Looper - A two-loop bypass box. It has a few nicks and scratches, and it's a bit dusty, but it's been sitting in a drawer for a few years since it was last on my pedal board... it utilises gold plated relay switches instead of hardwire, see here for more details: [url="http://woboge.com/boxes_doublelooper.html"]http://woboge.com/boxes_doublelooper.html[/url] ) [b]SOLD![/b] Maxx Tuner mute / A/B Box - As new. I had this custom made for me by www.electrick-garage.com with a GIANT, BRIGHT, FLAMBOYANT PINK LED... I later applied the glittery Pink Pather as it put a smile on my face, although it can easily be removed if it's not to your liking. [b]SOLD![/b] AC/DC Power bank - Used, but in very good condition. A cheap and cheerful power supply that offers five 9V 2.1mm outputs with a maximum mA output of 500mA (not that much, but it's enough to juice five everyday stomp boxes (just don't try and run loads of digital modelling gear off it, or daisy chain 20 pedals.) Includes four 2.1mm barrel leads (centre negative) and a three-way daisy chain. [b]SOLD![/b] Price includes postage. Kind regards, Bob
  8. I had a Multicomp before when I was a n00b with compression and did not have a clue... I sold it. Then I tried a handful of Orange Squeezer clones that were far too "squishy" and I wasn't keen on the noticable volume swells. Then I tried the Multicomp again and realised how stupid I was for getting rid of my first one. I adore the dual-band setting, and the tube-sim mode is nice to add a subtle warmth when going through a cheap, passive D.I. live. Another vote for the Multicomp here!

    I don't frequent Basschat anywhere near as much as I used to, but OldGit seemed like a class-A bloke My condolences to those close to him, and to those who knew him well.
  10. I REALLY like that Enjoy it mate, play it loud and proud.
  11. A quick update: I fitted one to my 4003. It doesn't quite sit as flush as the ones in the pictures because the pickup surround (on MY bass) is a bit too narrow to let it sit comfortably. There's a small gap of about half an inch if that where it's recessed. Looks good though and it's definitely an improvement.
  12. Love the collection Interesting that the Rickenbacker was made in 2007. I've got a Blueburst 4003 made in '05. I guess Ric really did have a lot of backorders
  13. Oh God I want this bass so badly. If only I had the money Good luck with it mate.
  14. Only bass I've ever sold was a MIJ Fender '62 reissue Jazz bass in sonic blue, although it was lighter than normal and had hints of surf green. Unfortunately it didn't grab me at all and I moved it on. Kind of wish I still had it just so I could have tried it with flats. Also have a MIJ p-bass that I had defretted because it wasn't getting much use. It's still nice but it had a really nice, resonant p-bass sound that would've been perfect to slap some TI flats on and a foam mute. Debated selling a Rickenbacker 4003 for years before I finally fell in love with it. I would SERIOUSLY regret it now if I had sold it back then.
  15. Unless this thing is accurate to 0.0000001 cents I don't see any reason to not spend another £20 and buy a Sonic Research ST-200. 0.02 cents accuracy guaranteed and it's less than half the size.
  16. Hey guys, I've had a quick scan through basschat and I couldn't see a link to this. Someone from Talkbass has started making plastic bezels for Rickenbacker treble pickups designed to fill the gap that's present on basses with the pickup cover removed. [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=625211"]See here[/url]. Just thought I'd tell you guys about it, and I'm currently in the process of ordering one for my 4003 so I'll tell you how it is once it arrives Cheers, Bob
  17. [quote name='Duarte' post='750168' date='Feb 18 2010, 08:37 PM']At least it's an improvement on the toilet seat jokes...heheh.[/quote] Wait... the toilet seat comments were JOKES? I kid, I kid! At first I didn't like the look of Bongos but the aesthetics have definitely grown on me
  18. I use Elites Stadiums 40-100 on my Rickenbacker 4003. They just seem to compliment the bass really well, but for some reason they never seemed to feel or sound right with any Fenders I've tried them with :S
  19. [quote name='joegarcia' post='749235' date='Feb 18 2010, 03:51 AM'] Bit of a change around. That top Marshall cab is a standard size 70's 1960a. Funny how small it looks on top of the massive mf280b.[/quote] In the words of Duke Nukem: "HOLY S***!"
  20. [quote name='JPJ' post='749205' date='Feb 18 2010, 01:24 AM']Ooh nice bass, thank the lord it doesnt have five strings otherwise I could have been selling a kidney![/quote] What he said. Seriously, if it were a fiver I would sell my grandmother to a travelling circus for it!
  21. I had read the original thread by Maddude. Hadn't heard of him or this Jimmy character before (mostly lurk the classifields, gear porn, basses and fx), but I genuinely felt for Jimmy's family and friends (I myself was bullied a lot when I was a younger teen and I've seen how someone's death, especially suicide, impacts all those around them). Even was on the verge of donating a few quid as well. Yeah, I feel like a bit of a mug, and/or tool now I am convinced that karma will intervene at some point in Maddude's life because of this. Kudos to the mods! As others have said, this whole situation was dealt with in a mature and professional manner, and it is certainly a comfort knowing that you guys are keeping an eye on the proceedings of this forum
