  1. Needs to go so will post at cost sorta bump.....
  2. [quote name='Merton' timestamp='1483525852' post='3207838'] That was the reason mine went. Absolute beast of an amp finally and physically. The ABM isn't far off it though [/quote] My ABM600 head is a long way off that weight!!!!!!
  3. 2 amps - Ashdown ABM600 and a Gallien Krueger 700RBii 2 cabs - both Barefaced Big Baby 2's 3 basses - Fender Nate Mendel Precision, USA Stingray 2 band, Sandberg PM4 unfortunately my GAS seems cured, i've tried most things and settled on these.......
  4. [b][u]NOW SOLD THANKS[/u][/b] evening all........ As part of my "Grand Christmas shift stuff about, downsize and general pooch about session" i appear to have a surplus of pedalboards. Or rather one thats a bit bigger than i really need. So, we have this rather spiffing Charlies Pedalboards C1 pedalboard including the soft bag. They usually retail for £75 new. So, up for sale at £45 and collection preferred from near Stansted Airport (could probably meet up Essex/Herts/London/Kent too) Its pretty neat as its dual level and consequently doesn't take up a lot of floor space. It takes about 4 or 5 Boss sized pedals on the upper level and the same on the lower one. It has loads of cut out bits to thread power leads through and is very tough. there is plenty of room to fix a power supply underneath too. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][color=#636466]Dimensions: 437mm wide x 340mm deep x 72mm high[/color][/size][/font] Condition is pretty good, its not scuffed up or anything, but the tiny stick on rubber feet have long gone. A trip to Maplins and a couple of quid will sort this but i've never felt the need....... It has a load of the spiky side velcro already stuck on it. A proper link is here for dimensions etc.. [url="http://store.madisonandfifth.co.uk/charlies-pedalboard-c1-small-410-p.asp"]http://store.madison...small-410-p.asp[/url] The bottom pic shows a few pedals on it for size but they're not included or for sale.... Thanks for looking :-) [url="http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/51800149-F927-4942-80B2-859ED6D0A77D.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/371196FA-8432-4789-9B68-8F19C8614E1E.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/71FD7902-EECD-4ED2-B498-CC0F6B6C311A.jpg.html"][/url]
  5. [quote name='Rexel Matador' timestamp='1483135149' post='3205040'] What a lovely place Basschat is. No-one I know in "real life" would be remotely interested in my new acquisition. Thanks everyone [/quote] Thats because us bass players live in a slightly left of centre universe where only we really "get it"
  6. [quote name='Harryburke14' timestamp='1483128293' post='3204959'] b-e-a-utiful. Im not usually a fan of sig basses either (I think theyre a bit fanboyish) but the Nate Mendel P is definitely one of my exceptions... Happy NBD [/quote] Yep i know what you mean. However, this could have been a Bugs Bunny signature model and i still would have bought it :-) It was all about the neck and effortless playability - its blinding and feels 20 years worn in. I don't even like red basses much (i actually went shopping with the intention of buying a white/maple Precision) but the colour is growing on me.
  7. [quote name='Rexel Matador' timestamp='1483128392' post='3204962'] I'm curious about those E string detuner things. My initial response was "wow what a cool idea, surely that can't possibly work." So... does it? [/quote] They sure do - i have them on all my basses. A 5 minute DIY fit (especially if you buy the correct version unlike me on this bass) and properly useful. The only time i have had one giving problems was on a Spector years ago - it seemed to snag on the brass nut a bit so was unreliable returning to tune. All the others have been fine though.
  8. It followed me home, honest......... Went to try out a regular MIM Precision this week - came home with this instead :-) [URL=http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/22393338-F837-4A35-8661-0612BEAAA067.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj640/mudpup1/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/22393338-F837-4A35-8661-0612BEAAA067.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/5A63E75D-B0B2-4D91-B9E6-181E59B400EA.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj640/mudpup1/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/5A63E75D-B0B2-4D91-B9E6-181E59B400EA.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/DC6F5AD2-10A4-48ED-A13B-D7536721951C.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj640/mudpup1/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/DC6F5AD2-10A4-48ED-A13B-D7536721951C.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/B8462DAF-0C68-4CE4-BAFD-94125DCCC2CE.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj640/mudpup1/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/B8462DAF-0C68-4CE4-BAFD-94125DCCC2CE.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/918B452D-46DF-4416-A9FE-727264F1C9A0.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj640/mudpup1/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/918B452D-46DF-4416-A9FE-727264F1C9A0.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/E28068D2-1E4B-482C-AC86-7703CFBE179F.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj640/mudpup1/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/E28068D2-1E4B-482C-AC86-7703CFBE179F.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/53F57C8D-B23B-4B8B-B16B-A9AC7AF6C18C.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj640/mudpup1/Guitars/Nate%20Mendel%20Fender%20Precision/53F57C8D-B23B-4B8B-B16B-A9AC7AF6C18C.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  9. I went shopping a few days ago for exactly that bass (but down south) - a shop had it for £529. Called ahead to make sure they still had it (and its rosewood cousin for a comparison), yep all good. 2 hour drive on a wrecked M25 to get there, arrived and dived into a booth to try it out. Did it bloody work? Nope - hardly any output, doh! Tried the rosewood but i wasn't convinced enough and thought i would hunt about for the maple version somewhere else. Fortunately (or unfortunately for my bank account) they also had a Nate Mendel in the sale. I felt obliged to try it. its now sat in my front room looking at me :-) Enjoy your new bass - they sound great!
  10. Lovely bass!
  11. NOW SOLD..... [size=4]I know i'm going to regret this but i have a one in/one out policy and Santa just delivered a new bass so something has to go...it's painful[/size] Its £1200 collected from Essex/Herts/London - i make good tea and have decent gear so you can try it out (and i have a headphone setup for later evenings). I can meet in the same area and also Cambs, London or Kent by arrangement if you want to try it out with your gear. I won't courier it, send it abroad or take any trades of any sort - its a cash sale via bank transfer or real money only to help pay for my new bass so please don't ask.... Ok, heres the spec - [u]2001 USA Musicman Stingray 4 string[/u] Maple neck with matched headstock. The neck feels skinnier than the usual Stingray neck (I have a '97 to compare it with and this feels smaller). Its not SLO or Sterling skinny width but its not as deep as those ones either. It just feels easier to play than most Stingrays but doesn't cramp your hands up either (i had a Sterling and found it a bit cramped after a while) The weight is 4.1 kilos or 9.1 lbs - on the light side for a 'ray. Autumn Redburst Sparkle - I've only ever seen 1 other, a 5 string, for sale in the UK. If you search our American equivalent site for the colour, there are about 2 on there. This was ordered as a custom order for the german distributor and i bought it from a shop over there. Its an immense looking colour, subtle yet eye catching under lights and its ultra rare. I have had a John East MMSR 3 band eq with sweepable mids professionally installed. The original Musicman 3 eq system is also included in the sale - you can put it back to stock spec easily if you prefer. The East preamp gives it more warmth and takes a little of the aggression away imho - a bit closer to a 2eq sound really but with control over the mids. Set with mids slightly cut you effectively have a classic 2 band system. Cut the bass and crank the mids and you have the traditional 3 band sound. The East currently costs £157. A Hipshot detuner is fitted - the original tuner is also included the sale. Current cost is about £80 if you hunt about. Condition is almost perfect apart from 2 small lacquer chips (one on the lower edge and one on the top edge centre) and a tarnished jack socket. This was all on the bass when i bought it. There is no buckle rash and apart from the 2 chips it would be a 10/10. There are no known issues, the electrics are bob on, the neck and frets are perfect and the trussrod is fine. Comes with a gig bag, Schaller strap buttons and new strings fitted last week Heres some pics - some are done with flash to try and show the sparkle but its more pronounced under stage lighting. You can see the 2 dinks. If you need any more info/pics please PM me for a chat/phone call Thanks for looking......

  12. I've had one of these before....a lovely flametop amber burst NS2000/4. They are really good basses that get overshadowed by the Rebops and Euros (admittedly much more expensive basses but the cheaper one has equally good build quality and also a slightly less aggressive sound which suits some better.) Enjoy!
  13. I keep thinking about a Precisiony type thing.....or maybe its G+L equivalent perhaps. May have to sell my sparkly Stingray to get one though
  14. Just bought a compressor from Peter Smooth bit of business and arrived super quick and well packaged Top man!!!!
  15. Just picked up a new compressor off here and treated myself to a Pedaltrain Metro 16 to stick it on and build a minimal pedalboard
  16. Dunno whats what but i liked the second one best - a bit fruitier sounding. A wild guess - 2010 AM Deluxe wearing DR strings. Didnt like the last one - that was the one with the flats, maybe the Squier First one was ok but i prefer a bit more mid zing. Maybe the bitsa with elixirs?
  17. Just bought a power supply from Etienne Its getting boring now....see all the above comments Packaged amazingly, superfast delivery and a great product! Recommended......
  18. We use one of these [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/led-bar/american-dj-vbar-pak-led-bar-kit?gclid=CLWS_Zzh-tACFQrjGwodfMEJhg"]https://www.bax-shop...CFQrjGwodfMEJhg[/url] (its actually a pair in the pack and a total bargain) on the floor in front as uplighter. You can also hang them sideways on the PA poles to use as side washes if preferred. We usually set them to a slow fade through the spectrum. and A pair of these [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/led-bar/american-dj-sweeper-beam-quad-rgbw-led-bar?gclid=CL2MsMbh-tACFUWfGwodStoMQA"]https://www.bax-shop...CFUWfGwodStoMQA[/url] on stands at the back facing in across the drums. We dont use the sound activated mode - its a bit too full on. And a hazer makes it looks twice as good.... All set to run their internal programs - fronts linked together and rears linked together. We tried using a DMX controller but i couldn't be a****ed to spend days programming scenes/fades and chases and then messing around with it on stage when i should be concentrating on playing. In reality its all fine on autorun and i don't have to touch it all night if i don't want to. Both types have remotes so i can change things if i want to easily. Here you go - a little pub gig ('scuse the crap bass playing....) [url="https://youtu.be/CVYY7eCcH3s"]https://youtu.be/CVYY7eCcH3s[/url] with it all fired up
  19. [quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1481931032' post='3196448'] Looks great. Do you know what lights they are at the back pointing down on drummer? [/quote] Yep, we use 2 x American DJ Sweeper Beam Quads [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/led-bar/american-dj-sweeper-beam-quad-rgbw-led-bar?gclid=CL2MsMbh-tACFUWfGwodStoMQA"]https://www.bax-shop...CFUWfGwodStoMQA[/url] on stands (one each side) at the back and also a twin pack of AM DJ VBar Pak [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/led-bar/american-dj-vbar-pak-led-bar-kit?gclid=CLWS_Zzh-tACFQrjGwodfMEJhg"]https://www.bax-shop...CFQrjGwodfMEJhg[/url] on the front floor as uplighters. The Quads are set on an internal program to rotate and the VBars are set on a slow colour change fade. We experimented with a DMX controller for a while but couldn't be arsed with the faffing about programming them - this is just a case of link them together and switch them on. They come with remotes so you can mess about with them a bit changing programs during the set. The good thing about them all is that they give the effect of lots of lights but its only actually 4 units so nice and easy to set up/break down and very few cables to trip over. Its just 4 power leads and 2 DMX cables for the whole lot. The cash for 2 gigs paid for the Quads and i reckon we've got a load of better gigs because of them. The VBar's are just a downright bargain - think we paid about £120 the pair in a sale last year but they've gone up a bit now.
  20. Get it down to your local shop/luthier Tapping a reverse thread hole in whats left of the screw will get it out but takes specialist tools And you dont want to mess your new bass up
  21. We use a Hazer - it's loads more useable and effective than a smoky. Pretty good in smoke monitor equipped venues although it will set them off if you go nuts with it. It's pretty essential to get a variable one - ours has a good remote that you can set to constant or timed output and also alter the intensity of the haze. That's what makes it so useable..... And it makes a huge difference to the lights and lasers. Ours is a Beamz H1500 from Electromarket. (We had a smaller Kam one before but it was rubbish and kept conking out) Here's a little clip in a smoke alarm equipped pub https://youtu.be/CVYY7eCcH3s
  22. [quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1480685368' post='3186410'] The main thing I look for in a gig bag is that it doesn't have a 2 piece handle that that you have to velcro strap together, I despise those for some reason! I like the Fender Metro bag. Can be got for about £38 on ebay from rst music. Pricier elsewhere atm. 1 piece handle! [/quote] Glad i'm not the only one........
