[quote name='Fuzzbass2000' post='1274165' date='Jun 18 2011, 09:47 PM']Thanks - had a listen - sounds quite full and rounded to me. I'm getting more of a Gibson than a Fender vibe (massive generalisation I know). How do you think it would sit with two noisy guitarists and a full on rock and roll drummer? (curiosity mildly piqued!)[/quote] I'd say Gibsonesque is a spot on generalisation, its capable of that wall shaking sort of bass without being too muddy. I'd never used mine with 2 guitarists but it did cope with one loud guitarist/drummer and the very dominant keys player with an overactive left hand. I just played the "I've got more bass than you" card and laughed. You're more than welcome to try the bass out if you're in the area.

[quote name='Fuzzbass2000' post='1274018' date='Jun 18 2011, 06:56 PM']That's loverly but I'm a tad confused.... the pickups on this one - are they single coils or humbuckers? Not having played one, would you say it thumps like a P or does it have more of the cuttiing edge of a J-bass.... or something else?[/quote] This has single coils, the previous one I owned had humbuckers. I would say the best way to get a taste for the tone is to check out the lakland website clips (which are actually from a Skyline model, not a USA one even though the webpage infers it) [url="http://www.lakland.com/ac_decade.htm"]Lakland Decade sound clips[/url]

Weekend bump

Bump - quick sale needed so this will be going on ebay soon.

Update: Now on ebay, few more pictures there as well. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330578227754&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]Lakland Decade[/url] Since previously owning a Decade (with Humbuckers) I'd come around to realising I wanted another, albeit with single coils instead. Not long after having bought this lovely Skyline one another option came up to get hold of my ideal USA version of the same bass. So as I now know I'm heading Stateside in July and will be able to collect the USA one I need to shift this one on fast as two decades is too phat for any man:) It's in great condition with 3 tiny dings, one on the upper edge of the body and one "impression" dent near the forearm contour area and also one tiny scratch on the very end of the headstock. They are nothing to care about about but just there for full disclosure. Sounds awesome and the neck is a dream to play. Whats even better is that it's rocking the scales at a very lightweight 8lbs 2oz - which for a Mahogany body is very nice. It has a cheapish padded gigbag but I can ship it in a proper box with proper packaging. [s]£720 [/s] £700 shipped or [s]£700 [/s] £680collected from Ipswich area.

Both cabs now sold.

Bump, RS210 sold pending - RS112 still available until the 14th June at which point it might be sold with the 210.

[quote name='Clarky' post='1246099' date='May 26 2011, 07:19 PM']No offence meant, Dave ... the Tony Franklin I had (now back in the arms of Legion) was an awesome bass too, I chose this one over the Tony as I loved the mojo but it was a close call [/quote] I'll keep working on my own mojo for Tony Couldn't bear to part with it again - I've taken the very broken in Sadowsky flats off the NYC and put them on Tony and they just sound amazing, very DB like. I 've played this '71 whilst Chris had it, and again at Clarkys...very nice bass and my YOB to boot. Should be gone in no time...quite hard for me to resist making a move myself actually.

I popped round to see Andy the other day and had a quick play on this bass - it's very nice, nice weight and balance with a really comfy neck which I'm assuming is the deluxe, i.e. 7.5" radius? so save yourself a heap on a new one and buy this instead Having now owned about 10 stingrays I'm not going to risk buying another as experience suggests they are not what I'm looking for, otherwise I'd have seriously considered this. Best of luck with the sale

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='1242785' date='May 24 2011, 11:52 AM']you are very welcome i actually have a bottle of white open, a bit early I know but i'm off today! PM me if you want the address. Lots of MB cabs btw [/quote] I'm off all week myself - but I'm supposed to be wiring up the stables... I need to get some bulkhead light fittings though so a trip to Martlesham might be needed, oh thats rather nearby eh. What a coincidence

Seeing as you are 10 mins away Andy, I'm very tempted to drive over and take a look at this...

Bump for pictures, mention of new finish not old and clarification that collection is near Ipswich

This was sold long ago, not to me either...

Bump - some local interest but no deals yet

Looking to move on my TC Electronic cabs: *SOLD PENDING* RS210 with cover - very good condition with some light scuffs but no damage especially as I fitted shallow rubber feet to stop the base being destroyed if you put it down on rough surfaces. Used for a lot of rehearsals and one easy gig. The RS112 *SOLD* is also in excellent condition as it's only been used at home. Makes a nice modular pair as the 112 does a nice job of lifting the 210 nearer to your ear while adding a sizeable chunk more bass to your tone. Also has little rubber feet added. I like these cabs a lot but having picked up some Bergs I'm going to run with those for a bit and see how it goes. I'm happy to split them although I only have a box for the RS210 and postage is likely to be pretty steep so collection is preferred for both. £290 for the RS210 £240 for the RS112 [attachment=80810:Imgp2652.jpg] [attachment=80811:Imgp2654.jpg] [attachment=80812:Imgp2655.jpg] [attachment=80813:Imgp2656.jpg] J
