[quote name='VampyreBass2746' timestamp='1403536157' post='2483664'] We are in the midlands. I do have photos (I'm a photographer by trade) and I will post them once my husband is home with the laptop. We hadn't even thought to sell it until I found it stored up in the family music room. My curiosity got the best of me and I asked my husband about it. He used to play, but has since grown out of it. Coming from a musical family, I knew it was a well made bass, just wasn't sure what he wanted to do with it. His suggestion was "find it a new home." I suppose our fear is taking it back to the states with us and it being damaged somehow in transit. If we were to sell it, on a more long term basis, where would be a good place to do so? Here? How is one connected with the proper people interested in such things? Thanks for your input thus far!! I really appreciate it. [/quote] You could put it as a consignment sale with the Manchester Bass Lounge perhaps? www.manchesterbasslounge.com Drew who runs the place is a very decent bloke. There's also Bass Direct and The Bass Gallery down in London. Fairly sure all of the above do consignment sales... Eude

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1402996665' post='2478579'] If Rob Trujilo his having his signature basses customised for himself, then surely the ones Warwick sell to ordinary customers aren't true "signature" basses. [/quote] It does seem a bit ridiculous, they've also got the non German made signature versions of most basses too, which are unlikley to ever be played by their endorsers, as they've got the fancier German made ones anyway... Seriously though, if you've got $12,000 to sp**k on a single bass, there's a lot of people out there that can make you EXACTLY what you want, probably for a lot less money too. As nice as the Hellborg bass probably is, I can't imagine it's actually going to be worth $12,000, I appreciate that's a moot point though Eude

[quote name='Henrythe8' timestamp='1402919927' post='2477835'] ANd yet there is a sh*tload of modified Trujillo in the CS gallery. As for the Hellborg, I'd say they won't be making another run soon... But I guess that the best possible answer would come from Warwick : have you tried getting in touch with them ? Their customer service is very friendly. [/quote] I think all the customised Trujilo ones are for Rob Trujilo though, probably don't offer anything like that for regular punters...

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1402405289' post='2473075'] Cool...nice to see a new American Standard model! [url="http://www.talkbass.com/threads/american-standard-jaguar-bass.1082712/"]http://www.talkbass....r-bass.1082712/[/url] No idea when it its the UK. [/quote] Make me a 32" scale one and I'm sold!

That is gorgeous, congratulations mate!

I've used the previous generation Rumble 1x12 combo, the tilt back one, at a rehearsal studio near London Bridge on several occasions and it drowned out a noisy drummer with ease and it's only rated at 75W! I expect the new 100W 1x12 combo will be amazing! Eude

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1401881102' post='2467744'] ooo. Those tops look so much nicer in person! I look forward to the NBD thread! [/quote] Mine will be charcoal, rather than black. The neck and fingerboard are already well underway, but I'm waiting for the top to appear from the US before I start a build thread... Eude

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1401878897' post='2467705'] is that 10 string monster thing yours? If so I saw it. looking good and mental in equal measures! I was quoted around a year for my custom build. [/quote] God no! 6 strings is my limit, but I keep settling back to 5 as a mainstay. I'd love a go on that 10, and I was extremely surprised at how compact it turned out too. One day I'll likely order a 6 string headless ACG as a super compact, easy to move around, record, gig, rehearse bass, but not for a little while yet. My current build is a 5 string 33" Krell SC with one of those awesome Uber ART tops, hoping to see it before Xmas Eude

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1401868295' post='2467574'] Whats the build time on these?.. ACGs that is. [/quote] Anywhere between a few months to nearly 12on average I think, but don't quote me. A Graft bass is obviously quicker as a lot are built from stock bodies, but Uber Grafts, Custom and then Uber instruments would obviously take longer. If you manage to convince Alan to build you something insane like a headless 10 string fanned fret half fretted half fretless, it'll take as long as it takes Eude

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1401742444' post='2466487'] Did I dream it, or do I remember Alan saying that he was no longer offering solid painted finishes? [/quote] As far as I'm aware Alan will only do his Grunge Black finish, I could be wrong though... Eude

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1401737563' post='2466419'] ONE OF US, ONE OF US! [/quote] Ha ha, classic!

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1401720031' post='2466128'] The uber graft 5 in faded black on his site at the minute is rather lush... [/quote] I've seen it and played it in real life, it's even better in the flesh

Please stop, I already have a custom 5 string being built right now, but this just is not helping!

You could go for a Graft J Type, a little bit more affordable?...

Nice. Yup, if I could afford the Multi Coils I'd be doing the same, they really sound impressive, such clarity and authority. Amazing stuff and worth every penny I'm sure, if only I had more pennies... Eude

Fantastic news mate! I'm a big fan of Alan's work, currently having a 5 string made too, no build thread yet as the top is still on its way over from America... That is going to be a lovely bass. What pickups are you going for? I look forward to watching this come alive! Ewan

Cool mate, so you pulled the trigger? How is it? Eude

[quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1400441514' post='2453930'] Well gigged the Mi 12" last night. It seemed to have a lot more in the mid range than my Genz 2x12, not as smooth sounding but then it is a much cheaper cab. It didn't struggle to keep up with my soul band at all, in fact it admirably surprised a few band members who thought it looked 'too small' and would therefore fart out. As i say it wasn't as smooth as i would have liked but then i think a bit of time to eq things on my amp may sort that. Also perhaps its not as light as i would have liked either (memories of a light Markbass 15") but all in all not a bad cab. I'm tempted to try a 10" if i can save some pennies again, perhaps put the 12" with it for a modular rig. [/quote] That's great news mate! By not as smooth sounding, do you mean just a bit more edgey/grunty, or was the sound a little less balanced than what you're used to? I can really recommend the Mi10, its a great little cab, enjoyed a little light noodling through mine yesterday while it was too hot to be outside! You can get them pretty cheap now too >> http://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-cabs/pid24234/cid686/ashdown-mibass-mi10-1x10-cab.asp P.S. it doesn't have a speakon jack, if you do get one, not fine finding out you have the wrong cables... Eude

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1400156710' post='2451260'] Cheers. I've got a 300w head, but it puts out a lot, it's definitely loud . Just have to persuade the Exchequer of the Household now... [/quote] Should be plenty then mate, best of luck! Eude

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1400155296' post='2451243'] Would 2 Mi12's keep up with a drummer and two guitarists? Rock covers band sort of thing, average volume for a band - we don't make ears bleed put it that way [/quote] I would certainly think so, as long as you have a reasonably powerful amp, say 400 or 500 Watts would be plenty. When I get gigging again, I'm hoping my 2 X Mi10s and my MiBass 2.0 head will keep up in a similar setting, if not I'll move them out for the 12s Eude

Nice one mate, look forward to hearing how you get on! They are very well built aren't they, my Mi10s are solid as hell A single Mi10 would be fine for a small acoustic gig and is a treat for home practice, but I reckon it'd struggle in a 7 piece soul band. 2 X Mi10s would be just fine though. I find I have to push the low end a little with the smaller cabs, certainly when using just one, so the Mi12 must put out a nice thick natural amount of bass Eude

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1400079101' post='2450528'] Apropos of absolutely nothing I've utterly convinced myself that I "need" a 33" (or 32" bass). Oh dear. This is how GAS strikes, isn't it? [/quote] It has begun... On a serious note, you should definitely give it a go
