It's cash on collection. so unless the courier comes with the cash.... otherwise arrange your own courier, quote for packaging and then quote for your time for wrapping and waiting for the courier.

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1338570488' post='1676647'] So is it actually, er, you know, like, for sale? [/quote] it will be soon. the point of this thread was first, asking if it was something people would buy, and secondly asking folk for advice on price

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1338558265' post='1676340'] This is my first post here, but I would buy that in a flash; it looks absolutely fantastic. [/quote] thanks Zenitram! It is pretty cool!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1337679113' post='1663709'] I'm actually quite interested in the box as a whole. Why not make a sale thread "three pedals in one, will split if needs be"? [/quote] thought be worth sticking up pictures so people can see what Im talking about! first three are for the russian specced big muff pi, the next two for the small clone clone and the final 4 for the clone of the SFT. They are wired up in that order too. Tone type knobs are in black. You can also see where the LED's were before I took them out when debugging and never put them back in. power in the top and then in and out on the same side. I wanted all the leads on the right of me as I play to simplify everything. gut shot.. and it begins to look less pretty! So many wires. A problem I had was how to fit all the circuit boards and pots in the same enclosure? What I did was divide it up into two with hardboard. At the bottom level the circuit boards sit, the wires are then routed through to the top level where the knobs and switches sit. The electrical tape was insurance in the occasion that things shifted in transport that things wouldn't touch other things. Not pretty but effective. Battery used to sit top right before I decided it was simpler without. Boards are L/R - SFT, Small clone, Muff. The little board is to separate the power supplies to each effect (i think thats why I designed it, it was a while ago!) another shot. Experimented with lots of different caps on the input of the chorus and ended up with the big red one which I had lying about! take out the wooden partition and you can see the lower level. It was quite fiddly to wire up. What you can't see is the 3 switches. Big muff Pi clone Small clone clone SFT clone

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1338535920' post='1675859'] oh, ok, thanks, americanism. I reckon you're better than you say, I'm in a worse place with 4! (Actually 5 but one is for sale) Maybe this is part of it, I'm sure people didn't have multiples of instruments so commonly years ago. I also think this is where all those missing tens of thousands of old fenders etc have gone, in people's wardrobes. I sometimes wish that keeping basses the dark made their colour fade so people would have to get them out. [/quote] i looked up an inflation calculator the other day. now back in 1982 my jv squier would have been about £200- and was a budget instrument. that would be £650. I hear reports that my takamine originally went for about £1000 or £2300 in todays money....i think instruments ae cheaper now!

[quote name='Booooooom' timestamp='1338508781' post='1675759'] I'm sure you were hurt and angry but 'counting to ten' and then talking directly and openly to your friend/guitarist/bandleader rather than publically voicing your feelings would have avoided a potentially disastrous situation occurring (plenty of guitarists read Basschat!). [/quote] I tend to stick things like this in the off topic which non members cannae see

if it were an original 70's P maybe, maybe not- but as a reissue- well it seems a waste to not! Maybe think about a stacked pot rather than an extra hole though

on the warwick start flat. then boost the bass about 33% to fatten out. Then treble boost if the song needs it. Warwick 2 band is interesting though as the Eq points are quite high for a bass and low for a treble. When I briefly tried a Glockenklang it was utterly different and didn't shape the tone as well, just added low and highs. All being well I'm going to go for an ACG which will be utterly different!

it's a big heavy item... and it's in devon collect only! what did you expect?

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1338464710' post='1674928'] Wenge top? [/quote] spalted maple top is of course what I meant to write....

interesting! If it were me i would have preferred it without the wenge top but that's me!

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1338423198' post='1674516'] As the kind of guy who does this work for other people I might be a wee bit biased in suggesting that if you are not sure about it then it probably is best to give it to someone else to do.... this is your bass we are talking about after all. If you think you'd like a go anyway, why not practice on something else first - maybe a busted pedal or something. There are a few tut vids on yt which show the basics. [/quote] what he says

you are in cape town, you have this old fender bass and what you REALLY want is a warwick..... great refin though

so let me get this right..... You are a bass player of a large number of years. Talented and able to write 'clever' lines. You normally play prog and play a 6 string bass. he is a very very talented musician. former bass player, now guitarist and songwriter. He plays punk type bass and writes kinda poppy simple metal songs. You hang out and work on songs, he pays for a big recording session himself to record these songs. You (and for very good reason) can only make a day of the session and record the lines you wrote on some of the songs. as it turns out the songwriter listening back doesn't like your lines and rerecords them. Meanwhile the 'band' get signed. my questions... 1) given the different musical backgrounds, and the fact they are his songs- why are you surprised? 2) this is somewhat unrelated.... but.... what is your role in this band in the future going to be? This fella seems to stick a lot of cash behind his dream and his talent, you have work and family commitments. When the band leader and the label wants to take the band on tour of europe for a month- what will you do then? If he's that good, are you going to make the commitment to follow? (I will add also at this point that I think it's far better to put family before any rock and roll dream.)

my jv squier - because its the best bass I've ever played- and i get to own it

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1338056981' post='1669160'] Wouldn't happen to be around G# by any chance? [/quote] sounds like you have a hunch whats going on...

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1338328732' post='1672987'] Go figure? What does that mean? [/quote] go figure, go work out why I have two versions of an instrument I can't really play. It makes little sense

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1338206703' post='1670741'] i think ishould have read the question a little better, it's semi acoustic that i voted (335 copy) but that was because i thoiught you were asking what i would reccomend (i love mine and with a coil tap and a piezo bridge it would cover most bases) but if it was a house on fire moment or that nightmare (for me) situation of having to sell all but one of my guitars then my McIlroy acoustic would be the one i'd keep, nothing i've ever played comes close to how good it sounds and how well it plays, i still can't quite believe that it's mine and i've had it for just over 4 years. [url="http://www.mcilroyguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.mcilroyguitars.co.uk/[/url] (mines an AS25, walnut and cedar with pearwood bindings) [/quote] Nice looking guitar that! I think the route of the question is this- I'm moving house soon to leeds, and shortly after getting married. Currently studying a masters which has been great but money is dwindling- so money and space are not things I have loads of. I have an amp and 2 basses- which are amazing- one of the great things about basschat is that i have owned amazing instruments and been able to sell them on and ended up settling with two that are exceptional. I also have two guitars, a 1987 Takamine EN10 which is a lovely dreadnaught acoustic. sounds great and a lovely to play (and even better plugged in) and a 1984 Yamaha SG400 and a wee Line6 amp. again a really special instrument. I can't play either really yet and was thinking along the lines of if I could only have one, either an electric or acoustic which would I go for? and why? It seemed a good question to ask on here- and the results are certainly interesting. As to what I will do? Not a clue, I know the old owner of the acoustic would take it back, and some time in the future if I wanted I could get some other acoustic (prob not a dreadnaught though) though I would be hard pressed to find one remotely close for the money. Like ways the Yamaha is a 'lower end' SG and not that valuable- but... you know when you pick up an instrument and it just feels 'right' and musical.... yeah it's one of them. prob I will keep both and struggle for space and cash
