That's a cracking tune i that video! Good luck with selling! -
Resistive pad is definitely worth a try. Wouldn't go ripping out the preamp myself.

[size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hey Sharkey. Have a nosey in the control cavity. I'm not overly familiar with the tonepump pre but unless you can fiddle with frequency centres (which I highly doubt) there should only be one place you can make adjustments and it'll just act like an extra, internal volume control. A bit of terminal screwdriver action and Bob's yer brother in law's sister...[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]EDIT: And I quote "There is an Output Trim Pot on the unit to adjust overall bass output as needed". From spector website.[/font][/size]

Birth year precision... Not half tempted, but alas I'm brassic...

Love Ryan's playing! Mudvayne's music/imagery might not be for everybody, but his ability is unquestionable. Last I read he was awaiting a Warwick Hellborg rig. He had been using Avalon U5's and in-ears, but I think the Avalons weren't holding up too well with the rigours of touring!

Up for sale is my recently acquired Status S3000. This one has been through the wars! Original pickups exhibited a strange 'my A string is missing' quality so they've been replaced with EMG J type pickups i had spare (originals included). The neck has one area of damage at the 'headstock' end (pictured) but just outside normal playing area so doesn't annoy thumb position. The body is a little rough in places, with the neck pocket damage being of primary concern. I have glued and clamped the cracks and the pocket is solid.Other than that there are a few knocks and dings, and what seems to be white paint on the edge of the bass at the forearm contour. The good news is that it sounds very nice. Plenty of punch, very loud, zero dead spots. Frets are in tip-top condition. I had an s2000 for a while a few years ago and i'd say this sounds better to my ear - a little more organic than its all graphite sibling. Weight is around the high 9lb mark i would think, but that's a rough guestimate as my scales are varying between 8 and 10.5 using the old weigh yourself with and without method. Original carved-from-granite-esque hard case included (picture showing case is not my bass or case, just showing case style as mine is stowed in the cave under the stairs at present!). Could sell with nice quality Warwick guitar gig bag if you prefer. Still a fair few years of solid gigging in this old girl! Looking £350 plus shipping. May entertain trades especially for amp heads.

Hey Sharkey! Get that incoming banjo round to my gaff next time you're home - always fancied a rip on one (assuming it's the aforementioned Spector). You can have a go on my Dingwall while you're at it... get your mind out of the gutter!

Asking on the Dingwall forum might be a good idea too.

Gotta love this place!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1340786613' post='1709453'] I can't believe that I haven't posted in this thread already.... Here's my smaller gig rig in action: [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/555915_10151049961140610_371189078_n.jpg[/IMG] (BTW not the Ampeg fridge) [/quote] I'm tempted to ask... Butt i won't...

I'm missing my 500 a little reading this. My Ashdown LB30 is doing a bang-up job in its place though! Just as an aside the plate voltage on these is 175v (from the schematic) so they don't run as starved as some other amps/pedals do.

P, J or Ray - can you tell the difference in their sound?
Bigwan replied to isteen's topic in Bass Guitars
Yes i can tell the difference (although i often mix up clanky Ricky with clanky P sounds). It's all personal taste really. I sway between P and J depending on the type of music i'm playing. Personally i could live out the rest of my days quite happily without hearing another 'ray, i prefer my bass sounds without the 'boinging spring' quality the 'ray has in abundance... I realise my opinion is not shared by the masses... -

3 Leaf Audio Proton for sale. Very nice, compact mutron-style filtern in great condition. I've carried out the decay mod that Spencer now has internally switchable on the newer version of this pedal (involved changing 1 resistor) and find it much more useable and natural sounding now. Will be sorry to see this go, but am building a meatball clone in my spare time which will hopefully cover all my filter bases (excuse the pun). With box and 3 leaf bag. £110 posted in UK. Cheers Ian

Yeah the oc2 + distortion sounds good. Not as struck with the markbass synth though!

Starting to talk myself into a vbass too... Don't know what has happened to me, i used to be such a plug and play purist!

SOLD CoPilot FX Cubic Bass Octave pedal
Bigwan replied to 1976fenderhead's topic in Effects For Sale
Now that is a cool sounding wee box of tricks! -
Confront and ask him to be straight with you. If it's as you suspect and he just can't be arsed then I'd be tempted to replace him. That sort of behaviour makes you all look like fools, and is hurting you financially. Alternatively your mate could just fill in, but I'm a bit more hardcore when it comes to people swinging the lead...

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1339453130' post='1688857'] For the sounds that you're after, it would be worth looking at the Roland VB system (the old one). Usually @ £300 or so. You can even play your Juno from it. [/quote] Not sure about that. I don't think the v bass does midi out. I think you need one of the roland guutar synths for that (vg20/vg33/vg55). Someone who knows more may be able to correct me though. Been sorely tempted by a v-bass myself recently. Was impressed by the one i played a few years ago.
