[quote name='warwickhunt' post='812166' date='Apr 20 2010, 06:57 AM'] Is there an output difference between 2 and 3 band? I'm not fussed about which one is better/worse but wouldn't have thought there'd have been a significant difference in output though![/quote] I've got a two MM 2 bands and a 3 band and they all have v.healthy outputs. However there are some people who believe the 2 band sounds louder than the 3, but I think its all down to the tone control settings. Pick up height is deffo something to check for though.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='812071' date='Apr 19 2010, 11:27 PM']All of the Rays that I've had experience of have all had pretty healthy outputs! Hmmm I wonder if this is down to the difference between 2/3 band EQs?[/quote] Oh oh, not that one again......................

Sold, pending the usual. -
Another price reduction bargain bump!
-
Am in Cambridge / Northants area next weekend, and Manchester at the end of April if that helps anyone?
-
Cheers, thought this would have been snapped up by now. Still open to offers - I can only say no!

If you get that Peavey head, it will give its full 450 watts output into a 4 ohm load. So your options are- 1) Get a 4 ohm 4x10 cab - this will mean your amp will be giving it's optimum output all the time,but you cant add another cab later. 2) Get an 8 ohm 4x10 cab - your amp will not give its full 450 watts into this (although it may still be loud enough for the moment),but you will then have the option of adding another 8 ohm cab (1x15 etc) at a later date for bigger gigs/when funds allow. The use of 2 cabs will be probably the best sound your amp will deliver. Maybe best thing is to see if you can arrange to try the amp with a 4ohm cab and then an 8 ohm one too. The difference may not be that marked, and maybe the one 4 ohm cab option will be all you ever need. Good luck!

Weekend bump - any offers? This is a stonking bass!
-
Agree with you Bob. (Although your rig sounded fine to these ears on Saturday!) Nothing like a proper valve amp and an 8x10 - is that why they still crop up on major stages worldwide? Miss my Ampeg SVT rig, but my back doesn't. And am still not convinced about amps with just a preamp valve - for me its a combination of full valve preamp driving a valve power amp section that makes the sound.

Will bought a cheapy bass off me- great communication and paid straight away! Easy swift transaction, cheers.
-
Will have the cab if its still for sale? PM me to arrange- Cheers Pete.

Okay, up for sale is my Danelectro. It's a first reissue '58 Longhorn Pro , circa 1998-2001 I believe. Colour is 'blackburst' , a kind of subtle metalflake type finish which maybe doesn't look that special in the pics but is really striking in the flesh (have n't seen another one like this myself). The 'Pro' designation means it has the upgraded adjustable bridge and also upgraded tuners. Has two alnico 50's style lipstick pickups, coupled to two dual concentric vol/tone controls. Neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard with no fret wear, and feels just right. The edge binding to the body is 100% too-quite rare this! The scale length is 30", and this combined with the lightweight hollow body gives a great resonant sound, perfect for rootsy styles etc. (Optimum sound is all contols up full!) Condition is absolutely mint-can't find a mark on it. This bass is so much better than the current 58 Dead on reissues I've tried - maybe not exactly 'vintage correct' but definitely a lot more playable/usable. I'm looking for [b]£180[/b] for this beauty, which includes a decent gig bag too. (Was £225) Would prefer cash on collection, (am a bit reluctant to post but appreciate that may be necessary?) I'm based west of Hull in East Yorkshire -right next to the north towers of the Humber Bridge. I could maybe drive to meet up somewhere for the cost of my diesel, and do travel a bit (am in Manchester end of the month) with my band. PM me if you want more pics. Cheers, Pete.

[quote name='Simon.' post='800560' date='Apr 9 2010, 09:29 AM']Another wanting to add in a bit of love for the P-Lyte! I have one of the original Japan models (1986, if memory serves), in the cherry red with the gold hardware. It was my first 'proper' bass and I can remember every hour that I slugged away to pay for it! Sound wise - great for rock/pop/indie stuff, but didn't do too well in either jazz or americana settings. Sounds nothing like a P-bass, but it's a very light, very fun bass to play, and the neck is ridiculously thin and fast - even my CIJ 75 Jazz feels a bit chunky afterwards. Only downside I found (other than the aforementioned battery & jack issues) was the finish - it took to dents like a moth to a flame! Even with the best of care, the bottom edge of mine looks a tad chewed. Even in the worst of scenarios, I'll never sell it. Can't understand why there's never been a re-issue.[/quote] Mine was in Arctic (or was it Frost ?) white - used to dent just looking at it! Great little bass for the dosh.

Now sold-thanks!

Sold, pending usual stuff.

A mate of mine's lad is after selling his bass, and has asked if I can help. Its an Encore copy of a P-bass, red body/white plate&pickup/maple neck(some flame!)with a rosewood board. Proper Fender style headstock with big tuners too, so maybe its an 80's/90's era model? Sounds okay,strings fairly recent i think. Overall it's in good condition-few marks here and there but nothing serious. Would probably benefit from a setup etc but plays okay as it is. Comes in a Peavey gig bag too! Am based near Hull in East Yorkshire - probably not worth the cost of posting but could maybe help with delivery if not too far (for a bit of diesel.) SOLD!
-
I personally much prefer the 'wacky' Bongo design to stuff like Warwick , Status & Ibanez etc. Bongos have that 'wierd but it kinda works' vibe for me, and they do play and sound wonderful. Dare to be different.
-
IMHO Les Paul basses are cool as f*ck. As for the Warwick SC, a big no , (although for me any Warwick looks like its been hit with the ugly stick more than once......... .....stands back to await the flack........here it comes.....)

Saw Carl Radle with EC in the mid 70's, one of the first people I saw playing a Stingray.Great tone and feel. Think the EC band had an endorsement deal with Musicman, as they were all using their amps as well as basses and guitars. Have always loved Carl's playing, especially with the Dominos.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='789122' date='Mar 29 2010, 08:30 AM']The EB range has always been made in the Far East. I wouldn't be concerned at all.[/quote] Think the early ones were made in UK ( if that matters to anyone). Good value amps that sound okay.

FS/FT: Peavey MAX 450 (aka Nitrobass) and Ashdown MAG 115

Bass looked like a jazz style Levinson Blade, and the guitarist was using a tele style Blade too.
