    The impression I get from chats with people who know these kind of bands is that you a/. keep costs to a minimum b/. keep another job for when you're not touring and c/. know that one day you'll run out of money, and the music will stop. There's a stable income stream to be had in continental Europe (as has been pointed out above, the faddish "music" press seem to hold less sway there) too, but that's really only enough to make tours self-funding, rather than to make money. In the UK the system seems to be rigged in favour of bands who have someone with very big pockets paying for everything until the day they're doing arena tours.

    [u]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320459227688 [/u] ==================================================== I love basses with meaty single coil pickups, through-necks and passive circuitry. I also have too many of them - quite a few never get to come out to play. I also spend too much money on gear, so have a few debts to pay! So please buy this Ibanez Musician bass. It looks amazing (from the front) and has quite a few bangs and scrapes (on the top, bottom and back). It also sounds like the business. Admittedly I've only ever played it on the back pickup, with a pick, but those Talkbass fellas reckon you can get loads of sounds out of it (even without the active circuitry of an MC924). The serial number has it down as a 1980. One of the knobs looks like it's non-original. Here's the original Ibanez catalogue to tell you all about it. [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/expansion.php?cat_id=65&now=6"]http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/expans...id=65&now=6[/url] I'm looking for and I'm based in Central London, but can get all over London for handover if required. As ever, feel free to hit me with trades, especially for 1x12 cabs, firewire interfaces, lightweight power amps, or anything with an aluminium neck. Can you let all this delicious Ash, Mahogany, Maple, Walnut and Rosewood escape?

    I use, and love, a Kappalite 3015 in one 15" cab and an EVM 15L (Pro version) in another. I picked these after far too much reading around!

    I'm not sure what you're after, but this might help. It will produce a synth version of whatever note you play for as long as you hold down the pedal. [url="http://guitargeek.com/gearview/55/"]http://guitargeek.com/gearview/55/[/url]

    I'm reliably informed that Guildhall will take bass guitarists onto their jazz course - you'll need to pick up some double bass on the course, though. And be a s**t-hot player, naturally.

    BUMP. It looks like I'll have to sell me beloved mini-Devi pedal. And I've cut the price of the POG.

    Bass Like a Guitar

    dangerboy replied to Kaiu's topic in Effects

    This is what I use when I need to sound like a 'lead' guitar: [url="http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/DRAGONFLY-LAYOUTS_0/album17/album06/HARMONIC_JERKULATOR.jpg.html"]http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php...ULATOR.jpg.html[/url]

    Orbit gone. SB7 on-hold pending.

    Surprised not to see the EHX MM with Hazarai on your list. When I used to use digital delays, it was pretty much the 'do everything' box.

    [quote name='Kev' post='610571' date='Sep 28 2009, 09:02 AM']Vestax pedals look like they are built by the same company as Vester pedals, which is the brand of my old OVD overdrive pedal, which i loved [/quote] Yep - absolutely identical!

    ORBIT on-hold.

    Bump for added drum machine

    A few things that are on their way to eBay, but I thought I'd offer them here first: [b]Vestax Digital Delay [/b] 80s lo-fi delay. Makes some very strange noises (in a good way) if you make it self-oscillate. Needs a clean ;-) [b] £30 posted to the UK[/b] [b]Electroharmonix mini-POG [/b] Octave up, octave down, polyphonic tracking. Generally a really useful octaver. With box etc [b] PRICE CUT £90 posted to the UK [/b] [b]Effector 13 / Devi Ever KP (mini version) [/b] Fantastic overdrive in a tiny parcel. Keeps the low end beautifully. One of only 10-20 of these ever made - according to Devi (http://www.ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=134)

    One extra tiny bump for a great piece of kit.
  19. dangerboy
    Still bumping away...
  20. dangerboy
    Aluminium everything, on principle. But then, that's always my answer.
  21. dangerboy
    Just bumping

    I think we need to remember that people on bass forums aren't typical. We're way more obsessed with gear, and having a variety of gear, than the majority of bass players, who own one one bass (probably a P-bass) and nothing else. 4 is the standard as far as I can see. All the 5s and 6s and whatevers are pushing the definition of bass in all kinds of directions, but the place they all relate to (ie what they're pushing away from) is 4. Plus people on TB do seem very disconnected. If you listen to them you'd imagine that most music is being made by people with $10000 dollar basses (or SXs, the only permitted budget brand, and then only if you put at least $300-worth of new parts on it).

    NOW REDUCED TO £60 collected, £65 shipped ======================================================================= First up a 4-string bass tremolo made by Kahler. It requires a rout, but since I managed to rout a P-bass for it myself, it can't be that hard. Routing templates are available online, and I can send the buyer a link. This tremolo is great fun - you can divebomb or warble to your heart's content! The chrome looks good, with a few worn edges as shown in the picture. The springs are good and tight, and keep your bass in tune effortlessly. Could do with a rub with brasso. Works right or left-handed, and comes with original Kahler arm. This was previously on my Squier P - intonated great and worked really well. Looking for £80 collected from London, £85 posted. These currently run at $219 plus shipping from the US.

    I'm sure if you warn Chris and Charlie they'll sort out an amp. PM me for an email address.

    BUMP! New term starts on Monday if anyone fancies it.
