gafbass02

This is a bit of an unknown gem. It's a gale 3080 sub 100w output in a 'maple' or beech type finish.
These subs were a rebadged mordant short msw20 without the reliability problems. I picked it up while working as a richer sounds manager and had my pick of stuff, and despite the less than boutique brand name this was easily the nicest after the paradigm pdr series which sadly stopped coming into the uk (I had one of them too

It's never had any issues and works great. The smaller ports mean it's tight and punchy but with plenty of depth and wallop. No spikes I'm afraid lost in a house move. But it sounds the mutts and is only going cause of wife related living room issues ;-)

I think Paul and I share a similar white bass fetish! Here is a pic of a one-off bass I had made up for my own personal use. It's nickname is "Honky" and the maple board with white pearl block inlays and white binding were inspired by '70s Jazz necks.



Enjoy![/quote]

I need one like that! I mean i actually NEED one!!

Flite perhaps?

[quote name='Lysdexia' post='1039130' date='Nov 27 2010, 06:45 PM']That is my dream, dream, dream, wet dream, stuff of dreams, ideal perfect bass of all time eternally and forever more until the end of time and beyond.

You jammy bastard!

Wanna sell it?[/quote]


Didn't I already sell you an identical one? Or was that the status?

I'll miss mine forever! It was my dream amp and I was ways really proud to own it. My lighter gear is much more practical for me now, but I'm glad I had it. :-D enjoy it mate

I'm so getting the orange ones for my sonic blue jazz....mmmm gulf gt40

Over the years I've really come to hate down tuning, even a semitone. I find cause i set my basses up so precisely at normal tuning it really affects the way they play. That and it just eats amp power. Grrr !

That's a shame, I thought he'd cracked it in the end.

Can't recall tbh. About £60-70 I think honestly can't remember!

[quote name='chrisd24' post='1034241' date='Nov 23 2010, 07:12 PM']i like the sound of those,i really didnt want to say "i want my jazz to sound like a ray" because i assumed i woud get told to just buy a ray!

So these "GAFfers" are custom made for you (gafbass02) or would they just make them to order?[/quote]


indeed, sound like a ray it wont but sound as much like a ray as a jazz can it probably will lol, and a p bass and a jazz. Which is nice!

They are custom orders, all you do is ring and ask for a set of gaffers, i know he was planning to incorporate them into the standard product line but its not happened yet. Possibly due to issues of fitting them in a single coil sized casing. I have the prototype and had to modify the holes myself, but its WELL worth it! Although the 'production' model this seems to be fixed.
Give em a whirl!

I use the custom wizard 'GAFfers' split coil humbuckers in a standard jazz sized casing. REALLY nice sounding pickups. Big and beefy sounding but well balanced across the board (and hum cancelling) in the neck location if you solo it you get a p bass sound almost spot on, and in the bridge they add real bite, almost ray like. A very good pickup indeed!

(and no, I'm not paid to say so lol!)

Nice job finding a shop with all those in lol!

The little mark is a fab amp, i only moved from it to get that little bit smaller and lighter!!

(the shuttle 3.0 is NUTS, its like i can see it in my hand, but i cant feel its there!!?! and its 300W!!?!?)

fantastic bags, i love mine. If i hadnt got igigs now id snap your hand off. This is the only non igig bag i kept!

Thanks mate. Since this thread wound up my main stack has become the shuttle with two bergantino ae210's and I can honestly say...'I'm happy with my amp"

Still in bed with manflu bump

yeah its pretty cool to ay the least, i dont really want to sell but thats life!

Poorly in bed with Manflu bump

Here's the pics

I'll pop up a pic later but for reasons far too long winded, woeful and complicated to go into here I'm moving on this shuttle combo.

It's in excellent condition with just a couple of small paint chips on the head and the volume pot could use a blast of servisol.
Everything you've heard about these combos is true, they sound fantastic and go far louder than they should possibly be able to for the size and weight!
The fact that you can remove the head and use it to power a full size gigging rig is just spot on with the small can for lower volume gigs (and yes it can do that, with drums) or add an extension cab, something like a Promethean p110c and hey presto a 300w micro stack that almost carries itself!

Here's the spec etc

Pics later but it's a stonking bit 'o kit.
sold

OK folks the bass is here, ive opened it to photograph and set up and then its sealed again for shipping. Ive got the action crazy low and my scales refused to register its weight but id guess about 6-7lbs. The reason i bought it was simply cause i needed the lightest bass going and these are LIGHT!!

I plugged it in to check the electronics and basiclly it sounds like a two band stingray. Thats really the best desciption i can give of the sound. Its bright and hi-fi with a tight, fast punchy bass and expressive 'mwah'y' midrange. No 'wuff' or slow note attack here. But its not lacking any bass extension, infact it sounded best flat to my ears.

The reason its B stock is a teeeeeeny tiny mark in the wood by the strap button. Its still all tagged up and shipped in its schecter box.
Very pretty flame with coachline and all is simply fab.

Heres pics of the actual bass, ill do better ones come daylight, they are just camera phone
