Selling Electro Harmonix Micro Bass Synth & Q-Tron
Bigwan replied to ShadesOfWhite's topic in Effects For Sale
Those q-trons are AWESOME. Best sounding filter i tried on my quest, but space on my board (and the wall wart PSU) was a problem unfortunately... -
Interested in any other cabs Chris? -

I may live to regret this, but I have too many basses, not enough time to play them and have spent too much on gear this year so something has got to go! For sale is my Shuker 6 string. Original build thread is here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/8083-yes-its-another-shuker/page__st__60__p__290859__hl__another%20shuker__fromsearch__1#entry290859"]http://basschat.co.u...__1#entry290859[/url] Great sounding bass. Thunderous, piano like tone with a B string to match. Growls like nobody's business. I would imagine it would be hard to hide in a mix. I had it built to give that growly Warwick sound (hence lots of Wenge!) and it certainly achieved that. 35" scale. Wide string spacing with further adjustment available. Red side LEDs with switch on pickup cavity cover. Gotoh machines. EMG soapbar pickups. Simple VVT controls (but loads of room in the control cavity to add the preamp of your choice). Brass nut. Beautiful birdseye maple board, no fret markers. Jumbo frets. Bolt-on wenge neck with satin finish. Thinned wenge body. Quilted maple top, matching headstock facing and playing ramp (marvelous thing!) with dark gloss tigereye finish (difficult to photograph! Changes from Amber to Choc Brown depending on the light). Straplocks. Weight is around the 11.5 to 12lb mark. Bass is in virtually new condition having spent 99.99% of its life either in a case or hanging on my wall. Has a few tiny fingernail scratches in the finish, but nothing that wouldn't polish out (and I can't get them to show up in a photograph). No dents that I can find. Since arriving from the Shuker workshop it has been out of the house just once (and only out of the case for 1 song on that trip!) and has never been gigged. Includes Shuker embossed hard case. Cost in the region of £1800 (plus case). I'd really like £1000 for it. No trades thanks (unless you have a Fender Roscoe Beck V and then we might talk!). I'm based in Northern Ireland but will split postage. Further pictures on request.

One of those furry elephant type fuzzes would probably get you close without an octave Jesse

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1345105205' post='1773478'] Has anyone tried plugging the bass to the Line Out? I did it by mistake and it worked like an effects return except the Volume control was also bypassed! Certainly this can't be normal? It's like a Line Out and a Line In in one???? [/quote] No that sounds about right. The connection in the circuit will be from somewhere between the preamp and poweramp and is not one directional so you can use it as a line in to the power amp. The line out will probably be volume control dependent since it's usually after volume control and before power amp, but oddly that'll mean if you insert a signal there, it's after the volume control so it's uneffected by it! Clear as mud, eh?

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1345069064' post='1773298'] can't for the life of me think of a reason why anyone would want to move on a tecamp cab, unless they had several cabs. It's wee, it's lightweight, it sounds good- what more do you want? [/quote] I'm downsizing to a tecamp 212 combo would be my answer!
-
Gonna be cheeky and butt in here. If someone fancies a Tech Soundsystems 4x12 (Tecamp's old livery) I'm thinking of letting mine go... Shipping it is my only issue since I'm on the wrong side of the Irish sea for most on here, but willing to get it as far as a Scottish ferry terminal in person for interested parties! Price would be the same as the 'difference' MM20 has already mentioned (plus half a ferry ticket!).

Gorgeous Schecter Model-T (PJ bass on steroids!) *SOLD*
Bigwan replied to cetera's topic in Basses For Sale
Great basses these. Used to have one myself (actually could be this one i suppose). -
It's a tough question to answer - not all jazz bass cavities are the same dimensions, even Fender ones varied by year of manufacture. Looking at the circuit dimensions i think you'll be ok, but they're not going to say that!

Lead sockets on warwicks - very bass-ic question

Yes it does. -

Sorry I just hear a mad man boinging a spring along with every note I play... definitely not for me (and I've had 2 + 2 bongos).

6 months is nothing. Are you [u][i][b]really[/b][/i][/u] looking for another band? I've said it before, they'll be prising (one of) my basses from my cold, dead fingers....

[quote name='CS2' timestamp='1343153925' post='1746265'] Flanker-so Sorry to hear this, hope things improve and hang in there. To all, Flanker is a top bloke to deal with and keeps his instruments in good condition. He also picks good basses and whilst I havent played this one his black Celinder jazz was the best bass I have played. [/quote] +1 to all that (including the Celinder bit - it could have been mine!!!). Sorry to hear about your troubles mate. Keep well! -
[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1343122126' post='1745446'] Gorgeous looking bass. My first ever encounter with Lakland was a 55-01, although mine was just boring black. Loved it though, i will own another one day (maybe a 55-02 though). Enjoy it, its one of the best budget 5 strings out there IMO. [/quote] And then it was mine! They are a great 5 string period. One of the best I'd tried until my Dingwall, and one of the comfiest necks there is. Good score!

An excuse to break out my single Waysted album!

Ashdown Little Bastard £300 (£325 shipped in UK)
Bigwan replied to Andy Blowers's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Beautiful little amps! Love mine! -
Italia straps. Great stuff. I have a 4" one and it is the bee's bendy bits. They frequently run 2 for 1 offers.
-
The good things mentioned on this thread are the only good things I've EVER heard said about Allparts UK... The next Tuesday excuse I've heard recently from a friend who ordered a set of valve amp transformers from them. He eventually got them from the US for about the same price including shipping, taxes, etc.

I had the loan of a Streamliner 600 for a while and compared it with my Orange Terror (using a US P bass and Tech Soundsystems 4x12). The Streamliner was pretty nice, and a little more flexible tonally, but lacked the punch of the Terror and was nowhere near as loud. For me and the type of music I was playing at the time (heavy "dark" rock - Paradise Lost, Katatonia type stuff) it wasn't the right match, IMO. I could see it working really well in a less aggressive band though, and would probably be a better match for what I'm doing now (straight ahead pop/rock covers) and, although I'm VERY happy with my current Ashdown LB rig, I'm curious about a Streamliner 900 with a pair of nice 1x12 or 2x10 cabs...

As the title says, i'm interested to see what people are using for personal headphones practice. Myself I'm using using a line 6 UX2 into my laptop or iMac, but was wondering what portable alternatives there were. Used to use an iRig and the GK app on my iPhone but found the sound quality uninspiring to say the least, and have since dumped my iPhone for a Samsung Note.
