Bump for ya.
I kinda wish I could afford this .... alas I can't, and I have only a Yammy BB605 (which needs a new nut) as tradeable at the moment.... until I get around to rebuilding the Aria fretless I picked up for £30 quid -

Are you bringing the gear in one lead at a time, on foot, from bideford?
I still think turning up 2 and a half hours early to allow time for our 45 minute set up and soundcheck to go horribly wrong is too much. But it makes us more relaxed when everything does go wrong as *I* have time to fix it.
Yes vocal PA and backline will do, maybe stick the bass drum in the PA as well, that should do it for most pub gigs round here. (and don't let my drummer and guitar player tell you otherwise, their channels are often muted, and only plugged in to make them feel better)[/quote]
Actually I make our guitarists turn their amps right down and prefer it out of the PA. It makes them stay in their area of the stage, and I give em a smack with a headstock if i see them attempt to go near it after we have soundchecked. It also makes our sound far more balanced out front ime -

I've had dud batches too from them. Also had packs mixed with pink( when I wanted red). They sent me several replacements but kept sending wrong one. I thus have about 4 pink b strings and since got rid of the rest!

[quote name='KiOgon' post='1341826' date='Aug 16 2011, 01:01 PM']I love the bumper sticker - but not £4 much i don't
that's a hell of a lot for overheads
BTW "All your bass are belong to me" ain't exactly good grammar is it!
Ideas - yeah make 'em big & sell 'em cheap
Cheerz, John[/quote]
Yeah part of hte problem on zazzle is the pricing.
Those bumperstickers charge me at 3.60 and can't set a margin lower than that ! its kinda stupid.
All your bass are belong to me is a reference to the old MEME. (Check out [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us)"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us)[/url] -
I've been toying with making some bass related t shirts on zazzle/cafepress etc, just for a laugh and to excercise my graphic design on the pc.
Anyway, Kinda stuck for ideas currently! Anyone able to help?

ps, apologies if this breaks any rules, not entirely sure ! -
Slightly intrigued by this, but would be coming from cambridge, and am complete noob. Whats the low down on what happens etc?

Bought a Cab off clarky. Excellent dealings and felt that he wanted to get it sorted properly (He was out of hte country at the time).
-
Bought a Hartke Head off Mel. So far so good and very friendly and swift to deal with.
Top notch! -

[/quote]
I do it sometimes in rehearsal because our lead guitarist thinks its funny to do it to me at other times..... things like Molly Chambers (Kings of Leon) On the second verse the guitar plays a little riff on the octave after each line. It sounds quite cool with the bass actually! And it came in handy when we had a gig where he couldn't make it so I covered him and we just did a limited set that the rhythm could solo on.... -
No interest?
Down to £100!

Just getting a feeler on this kickback style Combo amp.
I like it, and it is a good quality amp, but it just doesn't suit me as it is too big to fit in my car feasibly (Has to ride on backseat to gigs as opposed to in the boot with the other stuff)
I am intending to sell this only if my deal regarding a head/cab comes through, hence current feeler status.
It is in good condition mostly, is missing one rubber foot off the bottom (not used when in kickback position) and has had 2 gigs (DI'ed) and a few practises only, as I would rather use my smaller behringer for practical reasons... -
[quote name='Clarky' post='1328438' date='Aug 5 2011, 10:59 AM']The previous sale of this barely-used Midget T cab fell through as the tweeter housing was damaged, we believe by the courier company en route to my original buyer, Mr_Bassman (Keith).
Alex at Barefaced has kindly taken the cab back and restored it to as-new condition and is holding it for me. As I am the happy owner of a Compact this Midget is surplus to my needs and up for sale again now that it is in perfect working order. Please note the cab will be dispatched to the buyer directly from Barefaced.
As before its £475 posted including a custom padded cover. I am currently abroad with only sporadic internet access so this is more of a heads up. I will be back and able to deal with this mid-August.[/quote]

[quote name='Evil Undead' post='1324879' date='Aug 2 2011, 09:00 PM']Price drop to £165 as I need the cash.
This is almost £100 off the new price! Can't believe it's still here....[/quote]
Pickup only or willin to ship? -
Is this still on hold?
I'm all over this as I've done my back in with my current setup! -
Where did you get the pickguard ? I have a natural one and never had a pg on it.

(cough i'm going to be a bit of a wierdo here)
but the nicest 5'er I played (in a shop mind you) was a High End Ibanez.... SR4005e Prestige (or the 5005, given how much money ou have, but the difference is marginal)

edit : looks like they have stopped making the 4005e, or at least, it is no longer on the UK site. -
[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='1157014' date='Mar 10 2011, 06:24 PM']I've just bought a s/h BB615 for a back up and house noodling bass and I love it to bits. I've not used it with the band yet but it sounds lovely through my Tascam BT. Staggeringly good value - I'm seriously considering blowing some mahoney on a better preamp for it, maybe a new bridge and then it'll be a stonker.[/quote]
Agree, I have a 615 as my main Work horse at the moment. Bought new though! only downside with the yamaha, i broke the top nut by not filing it enough when i went for a thicker B string. Yamaha said 5 months for a replacement, so had to go get a luthier to make one....
LINE6 Relay G30 - Test / Review
in Hardware & Accessories
Posted
I've been using the G30 for quite a while also.
I have had problems in that the strap clip snapped off. Most gigs it is electrical taped onto my strap on in my pocket with a slightly longer patch lead.
Rechargeables are great if you remember to keep charging them.
