  1. Aaaaarghhh.... BAD timing!
  2. THIS is where the real up to date action is..... [url="http://www.voy.com/85692/"]RockGroupie.com Forum[/url]
  3. I thank you..... *bows*
  4. [quote name='Mykesbass' post='847508' date='May 25 2010, 02:05 PM']Alternatively, is it just me? if we all used a little more consideration and didn't use terms that might cause offense that may have the same effect - didn't seem like a big ask to me.[/quote] I'd personally be a lot happier if people didn't use poor English like "a big ask".... Just sayin' like....
  5. Sorry to hear your keyboard player is leaving mate! All the best for finding a suitable replacement asap!
  6. Got my GenzBenz Neox212T cab from Mark.... great guy to deal with! He's offering 12 months interest free credit now?!?!? OMG....... Bargantino NV610?!?..... another GenzBenz Neox212T?!?
  7. I'm out of the running on this now as I refuse to pay twice the price it was originally pre-sold to me at.... However, if the seller would care to honour the (e-mail) contract that we made when I agreed to buy this item at it's original price a few weeks ago.... then consider it sold again ....
  8. I was at the Albert hall gig..... and a gig they did at ULU a year (?) earlier.... Got my ticket for Shepherds Bush this time! Great band!
  9. Cheers Nick! Yep, all good & busy here! I reckon between us we probably have the finest collection of basses in the country eh? Maybe it should be a museum though as there's very few I'm looking to move on....
  10. Wow! Paul has done amazing work there.....!
  11. Cheers chaps! Will spend the next 5 weeks looking at the pics and waiting IMpatiently! Hmm...tort...... nah! lol! See-thru blue or mirrored blue it'll be I reckon
  12. Cheers chaps! I'll see how it sounds.... but may upgrade with EMGs.... and a blue mirror scratchplate
  13. Damn, wish I'd read this earlier.... can't make it tonight Have seen you guys before and would like to again!
  14. I've been asked to sell this for a friend as he is a guitarist (non forum member). He has used this in his band but is cutting back & finds it surplus to requirements. I myself have the exact same amp and it's great - a real value for money product! 2 x 1,200 Watts into 2 Ohms; 2,400 Watts into 4 Ohms bridged operation 2-channel, parallel or bridged mono operating modes for flexible application Independent limiters for each channel offer dependable protection against distortion Precise signal and clip LED indicators to monitor performance Selectable low-frequency filters (30 Hz or 50 Hz) remove distracting infra-sound frequencies Professional connectors, compatible with Neutrik Speakon connectors, and “touch-proof” binding post loudspeaker outputs enable secure operation Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs Connection option for extra amps in parallel operation Ultra-reliable Toshiba/Fairchild high-power transistors High-current toroidal transformer for absolute reliability and lowest noise emission “Back-to-front” ventilation system including air filter with automatically adjusting fan speed for smooth operation Independent DC and thermal overload protection on each channel automatically protects amplifier and speakers High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life Conceived and designed by BEHRINGER Germany More info here: [url="http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/EP2500.aspx"]Behringer Europower EP2500[/url] I'll try and get him to take a pic or two for me to upload..... but it's in excellent working condition with just a few scratches from racking up. Best new price is £250 online. His asking price [b]£150 cash/cheque with pick up from Surrey or maybe Central London[/b].
  15. Depending on how the pickups sound I may upgrade to EMGs and think about changing the scratchplate..... maybe to a blue mirror. Anyone have any other scratchplate suggestions?
  16. [quote name='Clarky' post='842164' date='May 19 2010, 03:20 PM']Admit it, you only bought this for when someone starts up a BC thread 'Show us your blue basses'! I have never seen a blue fretboard before, very unusual[/quote] Lol! Sorry mate, already had a blue Spector for that "Show us your blue fretboards" - now THAT I could contribute to for the first time!
  17. I've just secured the purchase of this.......incoming in 5 weeks time! Been looking for one for AGES.... can't wait to get it! Ladies & Gentlemen - a very rare and unique looking 1983/84 ESP Surveyor bass :

  19. Looks lovely! Please can you give us all a thorough review (build quality, components, sound, value for money etc)? I've been looking at these but wondered if they might be a bit nasty and need a lot of upgrades....
  20. Lovely rig.... particularly the Spector
  21. [quote name='benzies123' post='838929' date='May 16 2010, 03:43 PM']The EQ on your GP12 is scaring the sh*t out of me![/quote] It looks like the setting Steve Harris of Iron Maiden used on his TE.....
  22. [quote name='GremlinAndy' post='835593' date='May 12 2010, 07:29 PM']Russia? Holy cow! Great googly moogly! Good luck with that buddy. I think you'll f'ing storm 'em!!!![/quote] Cheers Andy! Just waiting for the final go-ahead on this. If it's a good one I'll recommend you to the Promoter for the future
  23. Gorgeous.... just GORGEOUS! Many congrats!
  24. [quote name='JTUK' post='837526' date='May 14 2010, 07:25 PM']Those two aren't arbiters of tone, IMV anyway, but..[/quote] I didn't say they were.... I simply pointed out that the individual tone each of them is known for is generally very popular and often pursued.... they were simply 'examples'....re-read my post. [quote name='JTUK' post='837526' date='May 14 2010, 07:25 PM']If you spend your £700 in a shop, you'll be getting a bass that cost...what..? half that to make..and you'll skimp on a few components, maybe average tuners or pups..[/quote] There are plenty of basses in the £700-£1000 range that are SUPERBLY made with no skimping on comoponents, tuners, hardware, woods, build quality etc... I'm not knocking boutique luthiers - simply pointing out that after a certain price point you aren't necessarily getting that much better an instrument, indeed you are often paying for the name/supposed associated prestige.....
  25. [quote name='JTUK' post='837322' date='May 14 2010, 03:57 PM']I own a few basses that would cost me that to commission and I can categorically say they are better basses ( way way better ) than anything you can buy for £700 in the high st.[/quote] Better in what way though?!? Feel is a personal thing, build quality after a certain point is moot.... tone is a combination of the playing style and good quality equipment. To use a couple of quick examples of very popular modern rock bass tones.... Duff McKagan (GnR/Velvert Revolver) - simple Jap Fender into GK Billy Gould (Faith No More) - Aria into Peavey Classic rock, soul & funk tones from the 70's were very often standard Fenders/Ricks into Ampegs etc All the above are quality gear but none are 'boutique' or ridiculously expensive. After a certain point, great tone has been achieved (and usually just from the fingers/pick of the player!).... There are very few boutique bass/amp makers that have made that sort of tonal impact.... except maybe Wal & a couple of others.... Honestly, when was the last time you saw a well known player (known for his amazing tone) playing something like a (e.g.) Ritter through a (e.g.) Glockenklang rig?!?
