[quote name='AREA' post='233691' date='Jul 6 2008, 06:20 PM']I think, I like your female Singers... :wub: :blush:[/quote] [quote name='bassicinstinct' post='233710' date='Jul 6 2008, 07:10 PM']Me and you both mate!! [/quote] Well, I'm seriously thinking about leaving the band so if you both move to London I could get you an audition. I believe Claire (front and centre in the second shot) is single so you might be in with a chance if you smell right to her.

[quote name='Rumble' post='233746' date='Jul 6 2008, 08:13 PM']Are SWR warmer than Eden?? I always thought they had a reputation for being brighter? When I think about 'warmer' amps I start thinking Ampeg and Ashdown. Would this be true to say?[/quote] I'm inclined to think the opposite The Edens have a bit more midrange to them too - especially the WT400/500/550 models. I also agree Ashdown are warm sounding amps but some of the models have sounded a bit woolly and grungy to me. Ampeg are grungy as well but I was fairly happy with the B4 solid state head I borrowed recently. Sounded quite even to my ears although the high end wasn't super hi-fi.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='233650' date='Jul 6 2008, 05:09 PM']I'll take one.[/quote] Cool, drop me a PM with your details or let me know if you're going to collect it.

[quote name='overwater#1' post='233636' date='Jul 6 2008, 04:05 PM']Is courier definately not an option.. surely I could afford that, I know I can't afford much.. [/quote] The problem for me is that I can't get anything bulky to work on the underground for collection from there. Couriers won't guarantee to collect at a specific time so I can't really take off time from work to be at home when they do arrive. Sorry mate, would love you to have it.

[b]Logitech Quickcam[/b] Looks a bit like this: [url="http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Quickcam-Chat-Headset-White/dp/B000YFVB9U/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1215354388&sr=1-4"]http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Quickcam-Ch...4388&sr=1-4[/url] However the stand is a slightly improved design. It's USB, fixed focus and works fine. Drivers can be downloaded off the site but it doesn't work with Windows Vista. Can post for approximately a fiver (will need to confirm costs) or collection is fine. [b]Creative Videoblaster Webcam3[/b] Looks a bit like this: [url="http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-CT6840-Blaster-WebCam/dp/B00001RME8"]http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-CT6840...m/dp/B00001RME8[/url] (the cam I have never came with a headset._ Manually adjustable focus, slightly older design but USB based. Can post for about a fiver or collection is fine

Looks like this: I bought it in 1999, and it includes the cables, remote and I think I even have the original box somewhere. Obviously its a bit dusty but it all works fine. Collection only please. More giveaway stuff coming soon...

OBBM would be the man to ask. He was instrumental in persuading John to build it.

I've owned both an Eden WT800 and an SWR Basic350. The Eden eq is one of the best in terms of functionality but how about trying an SWR head? They're very mid-scoop coloured like the Edens if you like that sound and definitely warmer. Good for using with jazz basses and Modulus Quantums in particular. You probably won't get as much Stingray honk out of it though.

Well, unless he gets in contact with me I'm suspending his posting facility. He's not returned any PM's or voicemail. I've already launched a paypal dispute to get my postage costs back as well. Plus I'm not the only disatisfied member it seems. Faultyy if you value your standing on this forum please get in touch with me and supply a despatch code for delivery.

[quote name='bnt' post='226855' date='Jun 25 2008, 06:51 PM']That was my first thought too, but that's a passive bass. Unless it's been modded, of course.[/quote] Well he did mention checking the electronics. Passive basses don't really have electronics to speak of.

[quote name='crez5150' post='227100' date='Jun 26 2008, 07:39 AM']Tell you what I'll give you 8p and then you come out on top!! Seriously I reckon you should be able to get £250 for it[/quote] I saw one sell on Ebay a couple of weeks ago for £276, I think thats a a little on the high side. But there does seem to be a bit of a demand for them second hand.

er, change the battery?

Basschat is a charity, albeit an unregistered one because it doesn't meet the income threshold for registration.

Let's not also forget that if the cabs are too light may not actually sit still on the floor when running at full tit. The cone excursions may very well end up making the cab vibrate all over the stage unless the cabs are tied down or anchored in some way.

[quote name='wazz' post='225905' date='Jun 24 2008, 02:28 PM']Are strings more likely to break if strung thru body rather than thru bridge? I found that they last about 4 gigs when strung thru the body before the e or a string goes kaput. They dont break at all when strung thru the body.[/quote] You're breaking bass strings? I can't begin to imagine what your playing style is like. If the bridge is well designed it shouldn't be doing that.

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='226226' date='Jun 24 2008, 09:15 PM']Nope - I don't get out much - what with a day job, gigs and writing a book, I can't find time to travel to London to try out gear I can't afford [/quote] Well for gods sake man, get a life!

[quote name='paul h' post='226197' date='Jun 24 2008, 08:29 PM']It would have to be fully shielded too of course, that would probably cost a bit.[/quote] and sound proofed, imagine the grinding of teeth from the assembled relatives. EDIT: Well if you're dead anyway, its not going to matter a great deal is it?

goodness me, that's gorgeous. Its likely I'll be in Dubai next week, working at the DSO building. Where are you based?

[quote name='paul h' post='226161' date='Jun 24 2008, 07:50 PM']Mine will have to be sold off to pay for the spalted maple coffin with purple heartwood and ebony accent stripes, and mother of pearl inlays.[/quote] Hahahah! I like it. Imagine being buried in a 5A maple coffin with MOP inlays and ebony purfling.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='226156' date='Jun 24 2008, 07:46 PM']Could be ... I'm a HUGE Pratchett fan. If I wasn't [i]Happy Jack[/i], I might well be tempted to call myself [i]The Patrician[/i].[/quote] That one is already reserved by another huge Pratchett fan.

[quote name='ped' post='226138' date='Jun 24 2008, 07:31 PM']Me then Kiwi my old chum?[/quote] [quote name='ped' post='226151' date='Jun 24 2008, 07:42 PM']I want mine auctioned off, the money being split between Basschat and the Dogs Trust.[/quote] Only if you stop sending me links to Morgan Roussel's beastiality website.
