  1. Check the wanted section! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228028-wanted-sandberg-vmpm-5-string-or-any-precisionmm-type-5-string Love that black ash finish btw!
  2. The PiBass has been out for a while as far as I knew but the Rootmaster and Five 15 heads are new to me: http://www.musicradar.com/us/news/bass/namm-2014-ashdown-unveils-rootmaster-range-and-pibass-amps-592387/3
  3. I would be most interested in this but the decals put me off. It's nice that she has a tattoo that means something to her and she wants it on her bass, but I don't want it on mine I'm afraid!
  4. Ah, so we have separate KOSMOS A-Sub and KOSMOS C-Psycho controls, now it all makes sense! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCkfjL_NH00
  5. From the Peavey Tour 700 web page: [quote]These amps contain a Kosmos B Subharmonic Generator which allows the user to synthesize a note one full octave below the note you are playing.[/quote] Oh dear. This sounds like the exact OPPOSITE of what I thought it would do, I was expecting it to produce a harmonic ABOVE, to help your speakers, not octave below to destroy them! Reading that new copy again: [quote]Peavey’s proprietary KOSMOS® bass enhancement provides increased bass impact, while the exclusive psychoacoustic low-end enhancement adds bass without overburdening speakers – a testament to Peavey’s technology-driven reliability.[/quote] OK, perhaps KOSMOS is just an octaver, and the psychoacoustic enhancement is a separate feature that has no name? Ok Peavey, you have confused me now! I'm following the equivalent thread on TB where a Peavey rep is posting, so have asked on there. Interestingly, somebody mentioned that some Crown power amps, owned by Peavey, actually feature the Waves Maxxbass DSP, so perhaps I wasn't far off the mark after all!
  6. Great little boutique orange phaser, no low end loss. Not had an MXR phaser before so not sure if this is based on the 45 or the 90, but it is very subtle compared to my Small Stone. Very warm lush sounding phase. I want to find something that has the intense phase sound of the Small Stone, but with the clarity of this thing, so the search continues (best compromise I found so far was Small Stone in a blender). [s]£85 now £75[/s] - Sold! Buy it - it has a picture of a spaceman on the top. [url="http://www.mojohandfx.com/product/nebula-iv-phaser/"]http://www.mojohandf...bula-iv-phaser/[/url] [quote]Swirl fiends rejoice! The Nebula IV is 4 stages of swirly, analog goodness that will instantly transport you back to 1974. We’ve taken the circuit of a much loved orange box of the past and added more flexibility and control. In addition to the standard “Rate” control, we’ve incorporated a “Depth” control that offers more colors for you to paint with. We’ve also thrown in a “Level” knob so you can spend less time worrying about volume drop and more time following your muse. Even at the most extreme settings, the Nebula IV offers nothing but useful, musical colors and tones. From Univibe-like pulses to a subtle VH-ish wash and all points in between, the Nebula IV delivers warm, rich phasing fit for any musical setting and is guaranteed to take your tone into the next dimension. Like all Mojo Hand Fx the Nebula IV has true-bypass switching, a die-cast enclosure, professionally powder-coated finish and the finest components available. Works with a standard center negative 9 Volt power supply, or battery.[/quote]
  7. Nice. Reminds me of the old Ampeg Rocket B200R I used to have!
  8. As part of my new year clear out, I present this lovely fretless acoustic bass, purchasedfrom here a few months ago. The project I bought it for didn't work out, so it's hardly been used. Previous for sale threads are here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/218819-breedlove-atlas-acoustic-fretless-bass-traded http://basschat.co.uk/topic/221367-breedlove-atlas-acoustic-fretless-bass-sold This is a beatifully made and great sounding instrument, strung with Pyramid nylon tapewounds, also supplied with the D'Addario bronze strings. It has a LR Baggs preamp and tuner, and a unique removable sound hole cover on the side to enable you to hear yourself better. There are no visible markings on the fretboard (I assume the original strings were sensibly taken off immediately by Clarky!) or indeed the rest of the bass. If it weren't for a nasty ding in the hard case, this could pass off for new! The damage is pictured, it's structurally sound however as this is one of the most solid cases I have ever seen and it fits the bass like a glove. I'm after the same price I paid for it which is £525. This was £799 at Bass Direct reduced from £905 (http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Breedlove_Solo.html), so no low offers please. I have a thick bicycle box big enough to fit the hard case cocooned in bubble wrap, so shipping is not a problem. Pick up from Little Paxton near St Neots, however I will be working in London 28th Jan - 3rd Feb, so can meet anywhere central (ideally Kings Cross, London Bridge or Waterloo).

  9. Not a very good price on the 2025X, Bass Direct were letting them go for £1800! http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/BB2025NAT.html
  10. Most of those buttons are footswitchable too, including the CRUNCH button!
  11. I reckon you should just buy my BB415 instead, and if you don't like 5 string basses, I can take one of the strings off for you.
  12. MiniMax 400W: http://www.peavey.com/news/index.cfm/id/761/Peavey%26reg%3B%20R MiniMega 1000W: http://www.peavey.com/news/index.cfm/id/762/Peavey%20Electro.html Headliner 1000W: http://www.peavey.com/news/index.cfm/id/763/Peavey%26reg%3B%20Un.html Interesting psycho-acoustic enhancements on the Mini heads: [quote]Peavey’s proprietary KOSMOS® bass enhancement provides increased bass impact, while the exclusive psychoacoustic low-end enhancement adds bass without overburdening speakers – a testament to Peavey’s technology-driven reliability.[/quote] Sounds a bit like the old Waves MaxxBass plugin - if so, it's a great way to get a deep sound out of a small rig. A bit of a cross between a Thumpinator and bass boost, not sure but it might synthesize harmonics above the fundamental as well. http://www.waves.com/plugins/maxxbass
  13. If it's 21kg and costs £1600, then dafuq indeed. The AD200 is about 23kg and costs less!
  14. A road worn Precision in fiesta red with rosewood neck you say? Better start saving for a Pino! http://www.fender.com/basses/precision-bass/pino-palladino-signature-precision-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-fiesta-red/
  15. They do! Classic 50s: http://www.fender.com/series/classic/50s-precision-bass-maple-fingerboard-fiesta-red-gold-anodized-aluminum-pickguard/
  16. I'd only bother getting the 1000 if you want to make a weapon for crowd control, the 500 is LOUD!
  17. And these are even cheaper and probably similar in quality - comes with Wilkinson hardware which should be better than generic cheap stuff: http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_75_sb_vintage_serie.htm
  18. Interesting! Lots of new NAMM stuff being unveiled, need to keep my eyes peeled!
  19. Any idea of price? The old dropheads were ridiculously expensive compared to just buying the head and cab separately!
  20. Only hearsay, but I understand that more recent MIMs are much better than previous years. I have played Classic 50s Precisions, Roadworn Precisions and Jazzes and they are all superb quality. Also the MIM signature models e.g. Roger Waters, Nate Mendel and Geddy Lee basses get a lot of love too.
  21. No problem, glad to be of help. Bump!
  22. No, it has no direct out. The CTM30 / Little Bastard does, but it taps off the main output transformer and still needs to be connected to a speaker load to prevent damage.
  23. Or, if you haven't even bought the Jazz yet, just get the CV which has a mellower sound than the VM!
  24. Search for true bypass loop/looper on ebay and ye shall find plenty!
  25. Sold one just like it with non original hard case for the price not including postage and I was beating them off with a smelly stick. This won't hang around too long! And yes, I started to miss it after listening to some recordings of it! Keeping half an eye out for a blade pickup version ideally with rosewood though as a bit of change!
