  1. Yamaha ATK basses cop the 'ray sound and are really affordable and playable.
  2. [quote name='bigthumb' post='698617' date='Jan 2 2010, 11:23 AM']Was that the cab you had down in Reading Rob? It was damn incredible![/quote] Yup - and I love it of course mine isn't as pretty or well made as this. Sadly because of my leg (I'm still on one crutch) I can only use at gigs when I can persuade our drummer to come and collect it but hopefully I'll be up and about in the next few weeks.
  3. Wow, that's a bargain, mine cost me more than that in parts alone ! and Dave Perry's building work is fantastic. For those who haven't heard these the sound is fantastic, IMO the best one box solution for bass. Would two be to many?

    SOLD

    Price?
  5. [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='644238' date='Nov 3 2009, 10:59 AM']Yes indeed, because it goes hard and not soft.[/quote] Yup - which is lucky because you wouldn't want your bass to go soft
  6. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='644129' date='Nov 3 2009, 08:57 AM']Jeez, that was quick. Have you come to some agreement with constant biscuit supplies or something?[/quote] [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='644133' date='Nov 3 2009, 08:58 AM']He get's a jaffa cake when it's made.[/quote] A Jaffa Cake is a cake, not a biscuit
  7. [quote name='eightball' post='642738' date='Nov 1 2009, 07:28 PM']still undecided as to whether to shoot good old halfords acrylic or try some wipe on poly for the top coat. the wipe on appeals a lot, just not sure what sort of results i could get with it.[/quote] If you're using Halfords paint, I've been tempted for a while to try Montana Gold Cans, they're traditionally used for graphic design and street art. It's Nitro based so I don't see why It won't be as good as Halfords, and a bargain at about £5 a can. [url="http://www.montana-cans.com/products/cans/gold/"]http://www.montana-cans.com/products/cans/gold/[/url] I've used the Matt lacquer on paintings and it's great, but can't vouch for the quality of the gloss.
  8. I really like the look of Robbies work. And I love the look of this bass the woods really compliment each other visually and should do sonically, and it's nice to see a custom build that isn't to OTT with crazy Burls etc. Realy looking forward to seeing this finished.
  9. another +1 on the Yamaha TRB 5 I had a warwick thumb 5 for a while and the string spacing was to close for me, the Yamaha was instantly playable for me. Plus they're great basses and you can get them dirt cheap!
  10. [quote name='ped' post='632659' date='Oct 21 2009, 06:46 PM']If it helps, I used a pair of 2x10s as a bedside table and a towel rack at Uni :0) Cheers ped[/quote] Oooh, I had the 1X15 coffe table & book case
  11. I really like these Basses, think they play and sound great. The only reason I didn't buy one was because I couldn't get out with the layout of the controls, and every now and then I'd knock the ones above the neck, but that's my cack handed technique more than anything! Great photos also BTW
  12. Thanks Stu, Glad you're enjoying the pedal, and I hope it gets more use with you than it did with me. PS. Stu was also a pleasure to deal with, and we could have spent hours geeking out and talking bass!
  13. The 10's you've got will work in the Omni10 (or Jack 10 which is the newer version) the 15 will work in an Omni 15 but you'll also need a mid range driver and compression driver. I've built both, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11971"]you can see my Omni 15 Build diary here[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=41067"]and a comparison between the O10 & O15TB here.[/url] As far as the sound is concerned there is no comparison between the BFM stuff and the Ashdown kit. The Ashdown falls woefully short, it is heavier, quieter and has much less clarity to the sound.
  14. Now sold, Thanks Stu. I hope you enjoy it
  15. bumping this back to the top
  16. If I had to use a single cab.... I do, and I've got tonal Nirvana another +1 for the BFM Omni15TB [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11971"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11971[/url]
  17. How strange I was just looking at the build diary of this this morning on Simo's forum and wondering what was happening with it! Great minds... Looking good BTW, I love his work, it's so neat.
  18. Any guideline on how many £'s you'd be looking for this?
  19. [b]PRICE REDUCTION - Now £220[/b]
  20. I've had this pedal for a while now (maybe 18 months), it was a gift that I asked for on an impulse, I've decided to sell it on due to lack of use. It's had very very light use. Maybe 4 - 5 hours total playing time. [size=3][b]PRICE REDUCTION - Now £220[/b][/size] It's in mint condition, still in the box it came in with all the manuals etc. I think the right phrase is 'as new' Apparently the RRP on these is £379 but I have seen them online around the £320 - £330 mark, on ebay they seem to go at around £320. So I'm asking for £220, how does that sound? Here's a stock pic, mine is identical, if you're interested I'll get out the camera... There's full details on the pedal here... [url="http://www.moogmusic.com/moogerfooger/?section=product&product_id=212"]http://www.moogmusic.com/moogerfooger/?sec...;product_id=212[/url] Thanks for looking R. [color="Gray"] [size=2][i]"Bass guitar players asked for it, so here is the Moog Moogerfooger Bass MuRF! The Moog Moogerfooger Bass MuRF MF-105B starts with the classic MuRF design but optimized for bass guitar players. The Moog MF-10B Moogerfooger Bass MuRF is also ideal for electric guitar players who are looking for a heavier, darker sound. The unique sound of the Bass MuRF starts in the filter section. Seven of the Bass MURF eight filters are resonant filters voiced at lower frequencies, and at the low end, Moog has added a 3dB/octave shelving filter. With a cutoff frequency of 120Hz, the shelving filter adds extra response where bass guitar players need it most. MuRF stands for Multiple Resonance Filter Array, and the Moogerfooger MuRF's 8 filters are each controlled by their own slider. The filters can be animated in up to 24 preset patterns. The rate of the patterns can be set by a knob, expression pedal, or plug a footswitch into the tap tempo input to match the rate to the tempo of your song. Rhythmic variations can be created by adjusting the levels of the filters. The Envelope control sets the shape of the modulation, which can be set for percolating techno rhythm or shimmering timbral morphing. Other controls include Input Drive, Output Level, and Wet/Dry Mix. Accepts any line- or instrument-level signal. A resonant filter emphasizes frequencies around the filter’s center frequency. The Moogerfooger Bass MuRF’s seven resonant filters have fixed center frequencies and a lowpass shelving filter that has a fixed cutoff frequency. These frequencies are shown on the legend underneath the filters’ sliders. Their frequencies are: 110 Hz shelving filter, 160 Hz, 240 Hz, 350 Hz, 525 Hz, 775 Hz, 1.2K and 1.8K. Each filter has a slider that adjusts the gain of that filter."[/size][/i] [/color]
  21. Is this for sale or only trade?
  22. [quote name='JPJ' post='488819' date='May 15 2009, 01:04 PM']I have abandoned the faux binding and radiused the edge of the body as the sharper edge allowing for the binding just didnt feel comfortable to me.[/quote] I know what you mean about the binding, it just doesn't feel comfortable to me either, but I love the look of it I saw this yesterday, made By [url="http://www.crimsonguitars.com/"]Crimson Guitars[/url], I love the black burst on the front and the natural wood on the back, but it only really works with the binding I guess. Now get on and do it we're all eager to see the results
  23. I played this bass the week before last, it was Luurvely. Really smooth and easy to play - you're not doing my already strained bank balance any favors Paul.
  24. This is a great diary, I'm hooked. Keep up the good work. I've had ideas f doing something similar myself, but have none of the required skills. Are you going to go with a scratch plate? Also have you thought about putting a matching cap on the graphite headstock?
  25. +1 on the MU, just join and then you're all sorted, also I think that I read somewhere eqpt. insurance had gone up to £2k through them, and of course you get legal advice and support etc. [quote name='stingrayfan' post='480695' date='May 6 2009, 09:52 AM']It's a sad state of affairs that as musicians we're being asked for this sort of stuff. That and PAT testing. It's all "pass the buck" compo culture. People don't seem to have accidents anymore, it's always 'someone else's' fault! [/quote] Unfortunately that is the society in which we all live. Every other business is required to have all the relevant insurance and safe equipment, and I'm not sure that's such a bad thing. Just because we're musicians doesn't mean that we should be exempt from this, it's only good practice, and if we want to be taken seriously as musicians you have to have this.
