Overwater by Tanglewood ClassicJ - PRICE ADJUSTED

Goodness!! I was searching on Precision Bass & found [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-GDR-MADE-PRECISION-BASS-WITH-MARTIN-NASH-ARTWORK-FRONT-BACK-MARLIN-SLAMME-/130755443065?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e71a1b979"]THIS[/url] Interesting design, but it's a Marlin Slammer so presumably you're paying for the artwork rather than the bass?

Squier 50th Anniversary Precision (SOLD pending the usual)**
WalMan replied to LemonCello's topic in Basses For Sale
You're not helping my 1 in / 1 out regime. I could probably manage this without losing the ClassicJ and it's the right colour for what I want..........HELP!!! Distance & collection is the only thing that might save me!!! EDIT: Oops and I've already worked out a potentially cunning plan for collection -

The article says it's a max of 150K per infringment and he was done for 31 (out of 800 he says he did) so he's probably got costs to go ontop of that -

It's an Alesis adat HD24 Fireport 1394 like [url="http://www.studiospares.com/digital-convertors/alesis-hd24-fireport-1394-interface/invt/219920/"]THIS[/url] Works a treat and mahooosively quicker than the ftp route

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1343400094' post='1750209'] Should get the individual tracks over this weekend (getting them off the H24s is a slow and boring prcess involving ftp - ) Then the real fun (for me) starts, as I turn them into finished pieces. Can't wait! [/quote]Si I have a Fireport that makes the machine like an attached HD if that helps in the future - and frankly as I can't remember the last time we used the machine I probably ought to sell it anyway. I got it after spending three hours transferring 16 tracks for a song that was no more than 4 minutes long off the machine by FTP the first time

Just pulled the trigger on a Streamliner 900 & Barefaced Super Twelve!
WalMan replied to thebrig's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1345707117' post='1780638'] Most of our gigs will be just average size pubs and clubs, but occasionally we play larger venues where it's nice to have a bit in reserve to call on, and that's why I see this as the ideal set-up, as it's light and compact enough for the smaller venues, but when you need a bit more, it's there all in one box! [/quote]Sounds similar to mine, which was why I went with the lower powered one. The S12T is so efficient that seems to be more than enough. For bigger gigs I always have the back up of the PA. Be interesting to hear how you get on with the more powerful version. -
So in the possible spirit of one in / one out I am tentatively looking to sell my Overwater by Tanglewood Classic J. Picked it up at LBGS 12 in a spirit of madness at the end of the day and it is a super bass. Nice slim fast neck and a good tone, particularly from the P at the front. I am/was really after a Precision so am considering moving this on towards that. The bass is only six months old (well it was when I first advertised it more like nine now & surely a suitable gestation?) and in good nick. I only have a lightweight Stagg soft case so collection preferred. I live between Brighton & Portsmouth and work in Guildford, so a meet within a reasonable distance of those would be fine. Looking for around [s]£290 £275 £250[/s][color=#ff0000] £240 / offers[/color] - [color=#ee82ee][i]slight price adjustment for the new(ish) year[/i][/color] Photos will follow if I can get Photobucket to work - it's currently being a pain (Edit: Now sorted. Links below) Soundclips in my coundcloud account [url="http://soundcloud.com/aka_walman/sets/overwater-by-tanglewood/"]HERE[/url] there is also a pic of the bass there to be going on with

Class D. Going back to the traditional ways now...
WalMan replied to Clarky72's topic in General Discussion
Perhaps it's something we could try to A/B at the SE Bash in Sept, even down to the Shuttle & Streamliner models? Like I said before I did that through my S12T in store before getting the Streamliner and the differene was huge. -

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1345583234' post='1779205'] Thats just how I felt Lozz, I just missed that dirty old rock'n'roll tone. The clinical sound of the Genz Benz just didn't work for me.... [/quote]I think the clinical sound is to do with the Shuttle rather than GB generally. As before my Streamliner is a very different beast and a lot warmer. -
Mine arrived today. I'll tell you later.........p'raps

WalMan replied to Clarky72's topic in General Discussion
I have a Genz Benz Streamliner 6 and the Barefaced S12T and it's lovely & warm. A/B'd the Shuttle & the Streamliner before purchase - though I had gone to buy the Streamliner but thought I would check as bother were there. The Shuttle in the S12T was just too "clinical" and needed the tweeter rolled almost off, while the Shuttle was warmer and had tweeter rolled back in. If you're at the SE Bash perhaps we should set up the two side by side to see? EDIT - Just realised you're at the footie so a No this year. -
