    Bump.

    I don't know the exact age of the unit. If you can tell me how to interrogate the unit and find out, I am happy to do so.There was a Boss leaflet in the box from 2002.. I've not updated the firmware and there don't appear to be any updates available from Roland, so I don't know whether this is possible.

    [quote name='Bikenbass' timestamp='1376832000' post='2179624'] Anyone taking a Precision and/or Jazz equipped with an East preamp? Seriously considering fitting one of these but I'd like to hear how much difference it really makes to the tone. [/quote] I have a P-Retro in my CIJ Precision, I can bring that if you like.

    No Trades thank you - need to free up some space. Jim Reed Jazz bass copy. Jim Reed is a guitar-maker based in Italy - his guitars and basses were available on ebay for a time, I'm not sure if he's still in business or not. I bought this a few years ago to keep the kids away from my decent basses, and now they're all grown up and moving out it needs to find a new home. It has a nicely-figured 2-piece ash body with comfortable contours. The waxed finish doesn't show any dents. The neck is slim and true and plays very nicely and the pickups (made by Kent Armstrong) are good. The fingerboard extends to a 24th fret over the top strings (i was going to saw that off but never got around to it. Fingerboard is rosewood, dot markers and the logo on the headstock are inlaid with mother-of-plastic. The one issue with this bass is the neck pocket, which has an authentic '70's Fender gap on the 'G' string side of about 1.6mm . I've shimmed this and the neck is stable and doesn't move anywhere. I've tried to illustrate it in the picture. The sale includes a Fender Japan gig bag and a strap embroidered 'Jim Reed' [b][u]- Now sold[/u][/b] This bass can be collected from the Ipswich area or the South East Bass Bash.

    No trades thank you - looking for a sale to free up some space SGC Nanyo Bass Collection SB310 in metallic blue, 1995. I've owned this one for around 5 years. The preamp is in good condition, all controls work smoothly. It's generally in good condition and plays well, but there are a couple of small marks on the front, some buckle rash on the back and a small chip on the back of the neck, which doesn't affect how it plays. I've tried to show all this in the pictures - happy to supply more pictures if you wish. It's currently strung BEAD. If you want to put it back to standard tuning, I will include a blank nut and a set of lightly used 40 -100s. The bass comes in a serviceable Ritter gig bag. [b]£125 plus shipping.[/b] The bass can be collected from the Ipswich area or the South East bass bash. I may also be able to arrange a pickup in central London. That is a reflection on the top horn next to the 21st fret in the second picture, not a scratch. Apologies for the dust!

This is a great little synth with a load of very useable pre-sets for bass and lead synth sounds, and lots of scope for programming your own sounds too. Now [b]£100 plus shipping.[/b] Can be collected from the Ipswich area or central London.

    No Trades, cash sale only. Yamaha G50-112 ii Guitar combo for sale. This is a 50W solid-state guitar combo with a 12" driver and a spring reverb which still works. It has a high and low input and a 2-stage preamp which is switchable. I bought it new in 1980 from Kennards Music in Canterbury. It is in good working order with a couple of cosmetic blemishes and a rather unpromising stain on the grill. One of the knob tops is missing but the original dual footswich to control the switching and reverb is included in the sale. [b]£75 [/b]collected from the Ipswich area or the South East bass bash. Shipping is also possible. Edit: Looks like this is on its way to a good home.

    Love the look of these. What's the string spacing at the bridge please?
  11. pete.young
    What it says really - I can see why the ebay forum and off topic aren't visible to non logged in persons, but I don't understand why Build Diaries doesn't appear.

    [quote name='dood' timestamp='1376571495' post='2176213'] Eh? lol [/quote] Sorry, wasn't trying to be funny. I don't know enough about how digital modelling effects work to know whether they actually apply a compression algorithm to the signal, or whether they model the compression effect some other way. I do know that one of the models is an optical compressor. The DBX166 effect has no monitoring. So while the compression effects sound OK, they're not quite the same as having a real compressor. In that respect I think they're different from the distortion or flanging or other signal modification effects. I'm not having a go at your favourite pedal. I've got one and it is a useful swiss army knife, although only having 3 effects per patch is a bit disappointing if you need one of them to be amp modelling.

    It's still working in bypass mode, but nothing happens when you switch the pedal on and off, and the LED doesn't light. Reckon I'll drop www.pedalmods.com a note, they list the CS505 as something they have worked on so hopefully will have a bit of useful experience to bring to bear.
  14. pete.young
    My ancient Ibanez CS505 Chorus has stopped working. I can tell that the switch is working and there's 18v reaching the pcb, which is being regulated down to 12V inside the pedal, but that's about the limit of my diagnostic skills. Can someone recommend a repair person who might be able to take a look at this and fix it?
  15. pete.young
    Bear in mind though that these are modelling effects, not actual compressors.

    TFM for Ped's mixer is here: [url="http://www.behringer.com/assets/mx802A_P0032_M_en.pdf"]http://www.behringer.com/assets/mx802A_P0032_M_en.pdf[/url] Judging by this, it is possible to control the Aux send level for aux 1 and 2. Aux 2 would be the one to use since it's post-fader. However, a stompbox like this, particularly an old one, is looking for an instrument level, in the order of a few tens or hundreds of mV. The Aux Send out is a line level signal - specification of the mixer doesn't say, but this could be a couple of volts. You'd need to start with it on 0 and bring it up gradually. Another option might be to use the jack socket main out on the V-Bass floor unit and run that through the effect and back into a third channel on the mixer. Both these options will stuff up your stereo effects though: the aux send is a mono-out, so you'd get the combined stereo signal sent to the effect and then mixed back into both channels. And your envelope filter will be after all the other effects in the chain. Neither of these options will get the Envelope filter before the V-Bass effects. To do that, you'd have to run from the jack socket of the bass, through the effect, back into the GK3B. With the internal wiring in your bass I'm not sure that's possible.

    Nice work StageAhead, I couldn't have done that!
  18. pete.young
    The original part for this is something else - Nathan East really is one of the best players I've ever heard and this is a fine piece of grooving, I don't think he plays anything the same way twice!
  19. pete.young
    Why don't you ask John himself? He seems very approachable and posts on here, or you could contact him via his website.

    Judging by the bridge its a very early one - the later ones had a redesigned bridge, same style fixings as a proper EB one.
  21. pete.young
    My Burman would sound immense through this. Psychoandy would be able to hear it from his house! Fancy a trade for an EBS Neo 2x12 ?
  22. pete.young
    I have a large Tribal Planet gig bag which I used to get the Epiphone Flying Vee into - that's a long body and a shorter neck but the overall length is pretty similar. These aren't made any more , but someone had one for sale in the misc for sale forum here, possibly warwickhunt?
  23. pete.young
    We had one of these - I can confirm that it was a rubber pad, factory fitment not an after-market bodge !
  24. pete.young
    What a lovely bass. Have a free bump on me. I wish I was doing enough fretless playing to justify this.
  25. pete.young
    Some rare and beautiful stuff there. Thanks for sharing it with us.
