Am currently persuing a GB Spitfire bass, just wondering what people's opinion of them are? I'm looking for a similar sound to my Bacchus that had two soapbars. Also, how much should I expect to pay for one second hand? Cheers

[quote]Ah but he didn't sell it, it was stolen from him and he wants it back. He talks about it on the commentary he did for the re-release of his solo album Fish Out of Water. The RickResource forum have been discussing the apparent re-emergence of the bass.[/quote] Interesting, got a link?

Would be f***ing delicious! Only trouble is the cost... Love 'Rays, don't like having five strings.

Here's my copperhead:

[quote name='geilerbass' post='276004' date='Sep 3 2008, 08:27 AM']It's got the 12-band pre-amp, but doesn't mention the specific AH1200 model. That's the same problem I've had - I can find a manual for the AH...SMX range, but it doesn't mention my specific model (350).[/quote] Oh yeah sorry, I'm getting confused between the AH1000-12 and AH1200

[quote]I don't see these amps a lot, so it might be a very small series?[/quote] It was a small series due to the Gibson takeover and subsequent liquidation of the company. I had a chat with Andy Ewen, and ex-trace employee who was selling off old stock on ebay, here's what he had to say about them: [quote]Don’t buy an older AH1000! Not many were made and they were very unreliable; the output stages blew up regularly. The new one is excellent and doesn’t have much to do with Peavey; designed by my old colleague Paul Stevens from Trace who incidentally, was responsible for the second generation V4s & V8s. I did the first generation V4 & V6 but Paul’s V8 was probably one of the best bass amps ever made. Very few came out of the factory though as it was at the time Gibson were messing everything up.[/quote]

Did you use paypal? If so, make a claim. I was mis-sold a guitar and I got all my money back, plus the guitar

[quote name='kevbass' post='271693' date='Aug 28 2008, 12:31 PM']Hello Ladies and gentlemen, I recieved the olp bass with sterling pup fitted today, much to my dissapointment. it arrived in its gig bag through parcelforce, not even boxed, the pickup, was a standard OLP bass pickup, I could tell straight away because the pole pieces had the swirl pattern on them and the outer casing of the pickup was different and on taking the pickup screws out the bottom of the pup was sealed in glue, like my standard olp ray, now correct me if I am wrong but as far as I know sterling pups are not sealed pickups. On top of that the scratchplate that was on it was not an olp scratchplate but that of an actual ray and therefore did not fit correctly, on taking it off there were extra screw holes in the body and poorly done as the screws went it at a diagonal angle. A big patch of buckle rash is on the back. I have e-mailed the seller asking ofr a refund because of the misdescription of the item as it does not have a sterling pup in it. I know I only paid £90 but I cant help but feel Ive been jipped.[/quote] Did you buy it from here? Sterling pickups have a phantom coil on the bottom of the pickup (just looks like a single coil pickup soldered on the bottom), if it's not there it's not a sterling pickup. Unless someone went to the trouble of removing it, which I doubt.
