3V17C Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 yeah he used to always be advertising them on the back of the US BassPlayer magazine as i recall - i [i]think[/i] before he got signed etc that he used to work for ADA too? or perhaps i dreamt that bit? peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I think you are correct - I remember reading that somewhere, possibly in the linear notes of Rhinoplasty? Check it ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba55me15ter Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) I've got an MB1 with matching cabs. All analog with blendable tube and tranny preamp stages, and all under midi control.

BigRedX Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'd want to make sure that all the blue membrane switches still worked reliably after all this time before parting with any money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3V17C Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 aaargh.. only a few hours to go!!! still fighting against buying this little lot!!!! good point about the blue membrane buttons though, i've had old midi sound modules with those before and they can tend to be a bit dodgy... peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 It's so lovely but i have to pull out, getting a quote on a new custom axe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Well, that would have made an incredible rig for 250 quid..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPQ Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 damn and blast - I assumed this would go for a lot more and didn't follow it. The power amp winner looks familiar though - Gary is that you? Shame to split the rig up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbev Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Guilty as charged John! I just put a random bid in, never thinking I would be the only bidder. I used an ADA pre/power setup a few years back and was very impressed by it, but found the preamp a bit of a pain to use. I prefer the "Hands On" approach(knobs/sliders etc.) Can't wait to try it with the Navigator. By the way, hope you're still enjoying the Status. Cheers. Gary.

ZPQ Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Glad to see it went to a "local" should be an awesome setup - looking forward to a review. and the status is very nice - now thinking I need another 5 string :-) Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
