    [quote name='dan670844' timestamp='1359283861' post='1952371'] Well I assume so the guy in the shop must have set it correctly. It was already set up when I went in. [/quote] Sorry? Are you serious? Hardly a real world test...

    I've cut way back on my gigging responsibilities and can't justify having a bass of this caliber, so I'm putting it up for sale/trade. Having said that I'll not be heartbroken if it stays put! Bought 19 months ago used from Bass Direct. Sheldon has got so many things right with his designs. It's a great sounding bass, and a doddle to play. Took virtually no time to get used to the fanned frets. This has the 5A flamed top and black headstock/neckplate options. Nice and light at 8.5lbs. Sounds IMMENSE! Only issue with bass is a slight score/indentation on the back of the neck behind the 1st/2nd fret on the bass side. These pics are the Bass Direct pics of the actual bass but will get something more recent for anyone who shows interest. http://s38.beta.photobucket.com/user/Bigwan2062/library/Dingwall%20AB1 Trade value of £1500 or £1400 cash plus shipping. In trades I'd be interested in: Lakland Skyline 5 (all models considered) Fender Roscoe Beck 5 string Fender road worn precision (50's burst maple) Fender road worn jazz (60's burst rosewood) Fender year of birth '77 p bass Yamaha BB425x or 1025x in sunburst May consider other trades (basses and effects) but would need to see cash my way, and as much as possible! Not interested in amps - have 2 1/2 rigs already.

    Oh that is lovely! Any interest in a Dingwall Afterburner 1 5 string in trade?
  4. Bigwan
    Bargain! I paid that for a Chinese lb30 and lb212 just over a year ago! Awesome wee rig and a damn site louder than the 30 watt rating would suggest. Somebody get it bought!
  5. Bigwan
    57lbs and slightly bigger than a 4x10 (half way between a bass 4x10 and guitar 4x12 i suppose)
  6. Bigwan
    Any interest in larger cabs than you've listed? Have a nice neo 4x12 (tech soundsystems nd412s). I'm in Ballymena.
  7. Bigwan
    Great sounding little combination this. Love mine!
  8. Bigwan
    Some interest but still here.

    £250 + shipping. The Friday theme continues!

    Could be a Nash. He's been known to use a Nash P in the past.

    Hi guys, bought this recently but, as normal, my eye was bigger than my effect belly, and it's not being used. The V-bass unit itself was bought used but had been a backup so is as new and it would seem that it's never had anyones size tens anywhere near it - definitely not since it's been in my possession. I bought the GK3B pickup new and fitted it to my beater bass with screws and springs I had knocking about in my spares box so none of the supplied sticky bits have been used and it's now back in it's packaging. The V-bass makes some incredible, and perhaps more importantly, convincing noises although I never got further than the presets to be honest. Considering condition I'd like £300 plus shipping. Pics later but there's nowt different from the stock internet pics. Thank crunchie it's Friday!

    If you like 'proper' sized necks then seek out a Fender Roscoe Beck V. Pretty rare nowadays (and probably over your budget now, although I let one go for a trade value of about £800 a few years ago - my only bass trading/selling regret!). They are the ultimate passive 5 string. Would love to own one again... Does a really good P bass-type noise (despite the bastardised Jazz appearance) and plenty else besides. Lakland 55-01 would be my 2nd suggestion. Lovely neck with wide spacing. Should be able to get one for under £500 - I sold mine on here for £400 last year. With your budget you could replace the front pickup for something more P sounding (although the standard pickups will get you in the ballpark and are hum-cancelling). I know dave_bass5 did something like this a few years back with a Lakland DJ5 - he had the front jazz pickup cavity routed for a P bass pickup. You'll get a 2nd hand USA P-bass 5 for that money, but I've never played one. The neck is probably the same dimensions as the current Jazz 5, which I found nice, but not very meaty. There are Lakland 5 P's, but they're rarer than any of the above I think.

    I want this more than I've ever wanted any other bass... Alas I'm potless...
  14. Bigwan
    Yeah Basschat rocks!

    [quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1348568129' post='1815205'] Ah, so this is the latest version of what I linked to. I thought that my Pandora PX4B was mini enough (about the size of a large cigarette packet). Looks to be exactly what the OP's after. [/quote] Yeah i went looking for the px4b after reading this thread. Then the 4d version which is when i happened across the mini. Use BIN on evilbay as it's exactly what I've been looking for myself! When i said just ordered one i meant JUST ordered one (like 30 seconds ago!)!!!
  16. Bigwan
    I'm assuming powering a speaker is an afterthought. The pandora mini covers everything else i think. Just ordered one myself actually!

    Recently sold my Shuker 6 string to Andy. Communications were excellent and payment was swift. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

    Bank transfer and ship item same day if possible. Clean and quick. Never had much trouble with transactions, except how well some items have been packed that I've received...

    [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1348208522' post='1810741'] Great idea! You'd have to find time to make a few of them though, I bet a lot of people on here would be after one too [/quote] A Mashdown Posidrive clone project perhaps.. You've got the cogs turning this cold morning Chris!

    [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1348183185' post='1810696'] Nice Don't see Hyperdrives on pedalboards often cause they're so massive [/quote] Yeah - if i ever get the time I'll reverse engineer it and build a miniature version!!!

    [attachment=118886:C360_2012-09-18-06-12-48.jpg] 1st iteration. A few changes planned. DIY octave and fuzz to go in, synth probably coming out. Also may replace the qtron with a DIY meatball clone if i could ever get around to finishing anything!!! Artec para eq only there as a placeholder in the meantime.
  22. Bigwan
    SOLD

    Confirms something I've known for a long time - Pino is THE MAN!!! Edit: Oh yeah and Carrie.... Hubba, hubba!

    That combo is the very one i have. That's a bargain price, but it would be asking an awful lot of a single ten inch speaker to be honest. I found combining my combo with an extension cab made a potent little rig though. I used mine with an Aguilar 1x12 and it sounded brilliant, and both combined would come in under your budget (aguilar gs112 cabs appear for sale here quite regularly).

    If it were me I'd seriously consider a used Orange Terror Bass 500/first series Ashdown ABM (when they were still called the Klystron Magnifier) and a used cab (my preference in that price range would be a Peavey TX410, but there are dozens you could choose from). The Orange has the best basic tone of any amp I've tried so if you're not a fidler then it would be a good one and bloody LOUD!!! Some criticize it for having a lack of tonal range, but if that bothers you get an EQ pedal on the cheap and you're laughing. The Ashdown has a similar basic tone to my ears (at least the way I use it!) but can be tweaked a little more. In head format it's heavier than the Orange and I've never found mine to be anywhere near as loud as the power rating suggests, but it's more than adequate for most gigs. Cheaper than the Orange and available in multiple combo formats too. Just my tuppence worth... I've never tried a Hartke that I can recall, but the LH500 gets a good name.
