  1. I would like to get some knowledge of people who have had the experience of both of these instruments. Things that matter to me 1. The best value for money? Are rays worth £300 more second hand. 2. Quality of sound? 3. I cant get a ray sound from my trib, does that make it a lesser being? I own a Trib, and really like it. I really would like a Stingray but paying quite a lot extra to find out i dont like it will be hard to take. So any opinions would be apprieciated.
  2. Yep, it wouldnt bother me to dish out a serial number, but some peeps are just anal about these things i guess.
  3. He seems to have cleared the issue up on the link. I wonder if he saw this?
  4. [quote name='Oggy' post='836849' date='May 14 2010, 08:49 AM']---------------------------------------------- Would you consider doing a deal for one of these: [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=5"]Ashdown Head[/url] It's in immaculate condition with Ashdown cover. Oggy -----------------------------------------------[/quote] Thanks for the offer Oggy, but i have just bought another amp so dont need to accumulate any more. I see you have a shuttle 6, so you know how nice these things are.
  5. [quote name='Merton' post='836557' date='May 13 2010, 08:13 PM']I didn't in the end, few issues with new house and of course the Bright Box saga... Still want one at some point tho. How does it compare to the Nemesis tonally and powerwise?[/quote] Hope you get somewhere with the bright box thing. As for the GB vs Nemesis - the nemesis EQ section is the best ive used. Although, i keep it flat on the GB, which says that it suits me without adjustment i suppose. I guess the biggest plus point for the Nemi is the power. And the biggest plus point for the GB is the size/weight. But sitting on top of my 6x10 cab it does look a bit underwhelming. Does sound good though. As for tonally, im not a particularly good judge of this. But id say that they are quite similar-they are both "clean" sounding. TBH Martin, i really like both, but i am trying not to get too sentimental about any of my gear so i can change it quickly and eventually have a go at all manufacturers. SWR750 up next! Has the problem with cutting out on the Nemi happened to you?
  6. [quote name='Merton' post='832544' date='May 9 2010, 08:42 PM']For anyone who needs to know, Chris is a top bloke to deal with - good luck with the sale dude [/quote] Cheers mate, did you get one of these amps? Did you get it for a crazy price?
  7. Really impressed with my recent purchase of a 4 string tribute. If i had a spare £350 id be all over this.
  8. [attachment=49620:BUTLINS_031.JPG][attachment=49618:BUTLINS_029.JPG][attachment=49619:BUTLINS_030.JP G][attachment=49617:BUTLINS_028.JPG] [b][/b]GENZ-BENZ Shuttle 3.0 300w @4ohm/175w@8ohm [color="#FF0000"]£275+p&p[/color] probably not much more than a fiver. These things are lighter than you could imagine is possible for an amp.(its worth taping it down during gigs!) Let alone such a loud and nice sounding one. Ive had this for 6 months or so. Bought from fellow basschatter "chimike". I have decided to try as many amps as possible and not keep the same one for one for too long so that i can try loads. Two of these have gone for silly money recently, and good luck to those who got the bargains! But i am not going to undervalue this amp, as it is fully worth what i am asking. There are good sound shaping options on here, mid cut, low boost, treble boost. EQ with low/high mids, bass and treble. Any other questions, please ask.
  9. He seems to log into BC fairly regularly, so how can he not receive you mails?.......I have dealt with you before Martin and you are a top guy to deal with. The trust between members on this site is one of the best things about this about BC. To have someone ignore you whilst still accessing the site seems to be wrong, and people like the_someone should be avoided like the plague. Good luck with getting somewhere with this guy. I hope this does not devalue the trust you put into other members.
  10. Stunning colour, never seen that before. But the block inlays on a '78 jazz, are they so unusual on late 70s fenders? Genuine question as i did not realise this.
  11. [quote name='Jobiebass' post='828886' date='May 5 2010, 08:05 PM']Also got a SVT3 Pro head in a 6U case with a behringer power light I need to get rid of too. Cheers. Jobie[/quote] Do you have a price in mind for the svt3?
  12. I want it. But i need to shift my shuttle 3.0 really. Unless you want to take that as part trade? I am in Pompey mate. Let me know what you think.
  13. [quote name='AndyMartin' post='825827' date='May 2 2010, 07:45 PM']What a smug git.[/quote] +1
  14. Yeah, it sounds more complicated than it is. Cant stop playing it at the moment. Well this and "Good times". Wish i could come up with lines anywhere near this sort of class.
  15. [quote name='Musicman20' post='825807' date='May 2 2010, 07:27 PM']I just need to sit and copy/play along....that how I enjoy and pick things up. Then Ill try and read a few things as well.[/quote] It maybe worth checking out marloweDK on you tube or www.playbassnow.com. The lessons he does normally involve slowing things right down. I dont know that many tutors, but he is very helpful to me, especially for slap.
  16. Emergency on planet earth by Jamiroquai is a funky octave pop fest which is fairly easy and wicked to play.
  17. BTW, i think that a stingray or pre-amped sound is the best for this song.
  18. [quote name='AndyMartin' post='825487' date='May 2 2010, 01:32 PM']I'm trying to learn this but I can't hear what's going on in the second half of the verse riff. It's after the first 2 hammer ons and before the E and D octave pops. Has anyone got any idea. Tab or notation would be really helpful[/quote] If i am in the right place, it is simply hammer on G2A, h/o D2E then quickly to D then slide to E octave pop , then D octave pop. Took me ages to get the whole of this song down, only just got it. I checked out a few you tube clips. The best was marloweDK's lesson. He has the thing totally nailed to the original. Hope this helps.
  19. Would a Genz-Benz shuttle 3.0 be light enough? You have to weigh these things down they are so feather like. I am more interested in the head than the cab.

    I bought one of these a few months back, and it is now, pretty much my main gigging bass. Big fat sounds from it. Dont know how it compares to more expensive fretless basses, but compared to my other basses, its got me thinking, why spend hundreds of £'s when you probably dont need to? Just my opinion, good luck with the sale.
  21. [quote name='dave_bass5' post='811168' date='Apr 19 2010, 11:32 AM']I got my DD in Jan this year from Absolute Music. It was pre owned but in 100% perfect condition. Comes with a Lakland Levys gig bag. Ive gigged it about 4 times so its still in fantastic condition. No scratches or marks that i can see. I really want a SR4 SLO but im guessing thats out of the question unless i buy new or pay in full for it so a Sterling would also be good. Depending on what im offered i could add some money to the deal as well. Happy to ship although a meet in London would be preferable. ill post some pics later this evening. What i dont want is any sunbursts or bright colours. I probably will sell the DD if i dont get anywhere with a trade but for now i would prefer a trade. Please, no other offers. I dont want or need any other bass other than the ones im looking for. Cheers.[/quote] Id be interested in buying.
  22. [quote name='fretmeister' post='810132' date='Apr 18 2010, 10:45 AM']I know nothing about them! Got any pics?[/quote] Can get some pics up, but im off out at the moment. Have a look at the reviews section, theres a thread in there. They are lighter than paper. If your still interested i will get you some pis. Chris.
  23. Hi mike, ive still got those speakers if you want them. Just never got round to getting them out of the cab. How much are you selling the rig for?
  24. Might you be interested in a trade with a Genz Benz shuttle 3.0?
