  1. [quote name='LukeFRC' post='1157311' date='Mar 10 2011, 09:54 PM']is the body on your one ply?[/quote] [quote name='Bassassin' post='1157491' date='Mar 11 2011, 12:02 AM']Sadly yes it was![/quote] Surely one ply is good, it's when it's more than one ply that it's bad...
  2. [quote name='Annoying Twit' post='1148764' date='Mar 3 2011, 07:12 PM']Triumph bass. "MIJ Gibson" it says. Copy it is. Interesting looking beast though. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-1970s-Vintage-LES-PAUL-TRIUMPH-BASS-MIJ-Gibson-/200582728172?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2eb3a989ec"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-1970s-Vintage-L...=item2eb3a989ec[/url][/quote] 10 kg? [size=6]10 kg?[/size] What's it made of, lead?
  3. At least they're matching socks.
  4. I may be completely wrong, of course, but didn't Fenders of that vintage (and, indeed, the following decade or so) have their trussrod adjustment at the heel end (which was a right royal pain in the bum)?
  5. [quote name='dougie' post='1160231' date='Mar 13 2011, 10:05 AM']Nothing unusual,an Ibby 800le,coincidendly ame color,model as erm,i already own.....yet im f***ing bidding and winning,wife stares as per usual n asks"why?",best excuse i can conjur...."not many people own a pair of these hun".....[/quote] Quit while you're behind...
  6. [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='1160761' date='Mar 13 2011, 05:37 PM']If you need thumbrests, you either; need to alter your technique to compensate haven't got enough pick-ups in your bass Don't have enough frets (and a long enough neck to penetrate well into the body)[/quote] or you need another string so you can have a 34" thumbrest.
  7. I had a Bass Collection and sold it because it was too light - I'd had a Hayman, a P, and a Thumb, and so was used to substantial basses. Cricket bat instruments are also pretty light.
  8. Due to GAS and the fact I'm only using it for a back-up bass, and one of my other fives can perform that role, I'm putting my Hohner Jack Custom V up for sale. Good condition, a couple of minor dings. Currently has Elites on it but would benefit from new strings - I don't think the Elites B is very good. String spacing is 16mm at bridge, and it's 34" scale (863mm to those of you using proper units). Looking for £250 + postage or collection from Tamworth (could meet up somewhere round Birmingham too). (For reference, went for £225 on That Ebay) [attachment=74653:jack1.jpg] [attachment=74654:jack2.jpg] [attachment=74655:jack3.jpg] [attachment=74656:jack4.jpg] [attachment=74657:jack5.jpg]
  9. [s]Bought a while ago, thinking of using one or the other on a Palatino but never got used in the end. Both are boxed, in as-new condition. Shadow SH 965 NFX (manufacturer's info [url="http://www.shadow-electronics.com/viewpro.html?lang_id=&id=194"]here[/url]). Boxed, as new, unused. Goes under the bridge feet - has two pickups (so that'll be one for each bridge foot, unless you want to be really unconventional). Thomann has them at £143 all-in so £95 or so posted seems reasonable to me.[/s] SOLD [attachment=74649:SH965NFX.jpg] [s]Shadow SH SB1 (manufacturer's info [url="http://www.shadow-electronics.com/viewpro.html?lang_id=&id=37"]here[/url]). Boxed, as new. Has actually been used once, on a cello - it fits into the bridge wings rather than under the feet and wedging it into the cello bridge worked fine. Thomann has them at £32 all-in so how about £22 posted?[/s] SOLD [attachment=74648:SHSB1.jpg] Can also be collected from Tamworth if required. Meeting up somewhere round Birmingham or the Black Country might also be possible.
  10. By having an unobfuscated email address, you leave yourself somewhat open to spam. Have a look at [url="http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/main/flobfuscate.php"]this email obfuscator[/url] as one of the ways to change that. Going straight from the home page to the "About" page caused me a certain mental grinding of gears as the home page is in the first person, whereas the "About" page is in the third person. As the site is specifically dedicated to you, rather than that being a biog in the context of a band, I'd suggest at least considering having the "About" page in the first person.
  11. [quote name='chris_b' post='1153530' date='Mar 8 2011, 10:44 AM']The rule should be to put SOLD alongside the post title and leave the detail for others to view.[/quote] Agreed.
  12. [quote name='Evil Undead' post='1155840' date='Mar 9 2011, 08:57 PM']Just wondering but does anyone here have trouble switching between 4, 5 and 6 strings?[/quote] No. I could use the 5 in one covers band but use the 6 so as to try and keep some mental agility, so I play 4 in one band (fretless, plus an Ashbory and an NS WAV-4, so I go from 18" scale length to 41"), 5 in another, and 6 in the third. Not using the 7 at the moment.
  13. [quote name='Evil Undead' post='1115189' date='Feb 4 2011, 01:02 PM']Can anyone recommend brands to try? Preferably 35 scale[/quote] From what you said about necks, try the Peavey Grind and Peavey Cirrus (possibly the Millennium too). Schecters are also worth a look at.
  14. Just bought some CDs and DVDs off Chris. Great to do business with, good communications, got here quickly and well packed.
  15. Thanks 51m0n, I'll do some experimenting with all the available resources.
  16. I've got a compressor button on my AX3000B, and I've got one on my Superduperfly. Will pressing both buttons be twice as good as pressing one? Time to pester 51m0n in here rather than on the For Sale forum, I think. I'm considering using compression (after all, if I do and it makes no difference to what the guitard hears, then it's him). At my disposal are a Korg AX3000B, an Ashdown Superduperfly, and a dbx 266XL (which would be the least ideal solution in convenience terms). The Korg has a compressor with sensitivity and level controls, and a limiter (which seems more like a better-featured compressor) with ratio, attack, threshold and level controls. The Superduperfly has the ability to access compressor ratio through the front panel and threshold, attack and release times through the editor program via USB. I suspect that experts on using compressors will be familiar with the dbx 266XL. Could I use either the Korg or the Superduperfly to compress my dynamic range somewhat, and would they be a reasonable solution, or should I really be looking at using the dbx?
  17. [quote name='51m0n' post='1144643' date='Feb 28 2011, 04:54 PM']Maybe next SE Bass Bash I'll do a completely practical hands on "how to set up compressors" rather than my effort last time that may have just veered slightly into the realms of the far to f***ing theoretical by half.[/quote] Could you do a posting on it in BC as well? Might give me ammunition to stop my guitarist suggesting that a compressor is what's needed because sometimes he can hear me and sometimes he can't.
  18. Is icastle still looking for a Cats Lock key?
  19. [quote name='Johnston' post='1145932' date='Mar 1 2011, 03:49 PM']Then you have to stick to Foreplay/Longtime[/quote] That might give you peace of mind, but would you be feelin' satisfied?
  20. Have you asked the other members of the band (except the singer) how they all feel about the singer? It could be that they're all pissed off with him too. There's no great shortage of singers...
  21. [quote name='gerryc' post='1145908' date='Mar 1 2011, 03:34 PM']You can get cream for that.[/quote] Unless it's more than a feeling.
  22. [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='1144917' date='Feb 28 2011, 08:20 PM']Drummer at the wrong gig? [/quote] That's exactly the opposite problem though, more like a host of drowned corpses putrefying and bobbing to the surface one by one. Anyway, some of us need a good run-up. My best rapier wit takes me a couple of years to hone to perfection. Fortunately, I wrote a number of witty ripostes some years ago which I can turn to in emergencies, as long as I remember to edit the references to flares, Afros, and afghan coats.
  23. Initially couldn't login using Firefox at work, could using IE. Cleared cookies in FF and I can log in. I think I'm still logged in at home.
  24. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1140226' date='Feb 24 2011, 06:18 PM']Lovely bass, and I know Ballymena isn't necessarily the easiest place to get to/from, but still ... "[i]23-25 working days for delivery[/i]"?[/quote] For Kinal, that's a slow delivery...
