What proportion of ads are dodgy though? If there's moderators here, let them moderate the dodgy posts and leave the legit ones alone. Seems like a sledgehammer/nut scenario. Locking replies is pants, IMHO...

Wow - looks great! Afraid mine'll be getting a quick fret job, setup and new strings and that'll have to do it! I'll try to get you that wiring diagram today or tomorrow.

PM'd you about this a few days ago, but email notifications seem to be on the blink. Mine definitely are! -

Nice! Sometimes miss my Wal... I'll wait for another late 80s style glut of them... Wouldn't need to be holding my breath!

Well if a certain Sandberg sells... I was surprised to see it up for sale!
-
Yeah... I'll probably own one again. Still have the matching 2*12 I bought from you Gareth, but having trouble getting a reasonably priced courier, or it'd be up for sale too - incoming Barefaced purchase to pay for and my other stuff isn't selling...

(Don't have to feel bad now since my learned colleague has withdrawn his LB30) LB30 NOW SOLD! Have a rare (20 made if I recall correctly), UK made LB212 2x12 in excellent condition. 4 ohms, 27kg (don't believe the 14kg quoted on Ashdown's website!). £200 plus postage (approximately £30). Trade-wise I'm after an ACG EQ01 (dual low pass filter preamp) and some decent humbucking 5 string pickups (Nordstrand or Delano for preference) but due to a large car bill I'd prefer a cash sale.

That's lovely... -
The pearl and oc2 circuits are very, VERY similar. VERY, VERY similar... Except for the added octave up on the Pearl of course...

Wiring diagram for a Tanglewood Bassmaster funk
Bigwan replied to vmaxblues's topic in Repairs and Technical
If I get a chance over the weekend I'll have a nosey at mine and draw one up for you. -
As folks have said it's all about the situation. Longest running cover band I was in I used a tiny line6 studio 110 as a stage monitor and DI'd into the PA, but i was only competing against an electronic drumkit and a guitarist using a floor pod. On the other hand I've played in bands with zero PA support where 500 watts into a half decent 2*12 struggled.

Ibanez Roadster Bargain less than 60 mins to go!
Bigwan replied to gjones's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
If it wasn't collection only I'd be all over that... -
Cos then it'd look like something you'd play... ;-p If I move the pickups closer to where a 60s Thunderbird would have them (rather than the Lull placement) then it'll work, although the bridge pickup will be half in, half out of the pickguard. Never used Photoshop or I'd mock it up...

Selling my recently acquired wonderlove as I've no time to use it. Fromel etched edition. Bought to replace a 3 leaf Groove Regulator and, although it's harder to dial in, the results are outstanding! [url="http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/Bigwan2062/?action=view¤t=IMAG0312.jpg"]Awesomely funky pedal[/url], and when I get back to playing more I'll get another one, but my backup micro q tron will suffice in the meantime. Please note this pedal doesn't run on batteries and no psu is included. £140 posted. SOLD Also have the following for sale due to lack of use: Mooer ElecLady flanger. [url="http://www.mooeraudio.co.uk/p/mooer-electric-lady-pedal"]Details here[/url]. As new condition. Tiny. £30 posted. SOLD! Harley Benton BEQ-1 7 band graphic eq. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_beq1.htm"]Details here[/url]. Excellent boss clone, metal enclosure. As new. £15 posted. Artec Parametric Eq. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/artec_parametric_eq.htm?sid=f5272565e71ec95979bbc4f25e44dd01"]Details here[/url].Single band. Bought it as a cheap alternative to an EWS BMC. As new. £17 posted. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal gift. Trade-wise I'm after a fairly cheap maple necked precision, a maple boarded p-bass neck, a mahogany p-bass body (finished) or some thunderbucker pickups (long shot!)

SOLD: Fender Roadworn Jazz - Sunburst/Rosewood/Tortie/Wizard Hammers
Bigwan replied to warwickhunt's topic in Basses For Sale
Lovely basses. Sold mine a fortnight ago and, despite swearing off jazzes, I'm missing it already... -
And now that idea has run into problems too... Steve @ thunderbucker is happy enough that the pickups can handle the spacing, but while doing a little measuring I noticed something. [Url=http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o225/Thornmoon/Basses/Lakland/DSCN0068_zps315addc3.jpg]This[/url] is a Lakland 55-64. Compare that to [url=http://cdn.mos.musicradar.com/images/Product%20News/Guitar/jan11/fender-namm/fender-american-special-precision-bass.jpg]a standard 20 fret p-bass[/url]. Considering I'm hoping to achieve something like [url=http://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Lull_PT5_files/PT5Top.jpg]this[/url] in layout. It seems that Lakland have 2 different versions of pickguard on the 55-64 and I have the one that'd make fitting a bridge humbucker look a bit messy... Still possible if I don't mind changing the bridge to get the bridge pickup situated right, or fashioning a new pickguard the same as the alternate lakland variety, which incidentally would leave 2 pickguard screw holes out in no man's land... Back to the drawing board me thinks...

Further to this madness I've hatched a further nutty one... and I blame BRX (and some time spent on that other site where folk talk about basses - makes me feel dirty spending too much time there, but I digress). Having visited the Lull site more than once and laying eyes on [url=http://mikelull.com/images/basses/jt524/03-gallery.jpg]this loveliness[/url] I'm starting to wonder whether the rather good Lakland 5 string P I have for sale wouldn't be a better home for a pair of thunderbuckers... An email has been sent to Steve at thunderbucker ranch to check his 5 string pickups will handle the spacing. Also the tokai t'bird landed today - nice bass for the dough. HUGE headstock. Big chunky neck, very oldschool precision like. HUGE headstock. Silly low action with light strings. Did I mention the HUGE headstock?

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1382274780' post='2249898'] That must sound superb given the spec and knowing Alex's fantastic engineering skill. Don't know if you (or anyone else?) would know how this would fare if it were to replace both my Compact and Midget? Having said that I'm still really happy with my setup even after several years of use - and they still look as good as new. Frank [/quote] I've just put a deposit down on a BB2 Frank. Once it arrives we should have ourselves an NI mini bash!

Final price drop. £500 plus postage.
-
Wish you'd put this up on Friday! Bought a tokai t'bird to see if I could get on with the shape but it was a fenderbird I was after... I'll have a wee think...
-
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor...
-
I didn't like the 2nd clip. The first was most pleasing though.
-
Taken a punt on a tokai t'bird on evilbay as a modding platform to add thunderbuckers to. If it doesn't fit me I should be able to get shot of it here nice and cheap.
