  1. I'm leaning towards cash only at the mo. I'm really happy with my Squier VM P-Bass with flats for old school thump, and my Peavey T-40 for ric-like grind. I might consider upgrading the P to a proper Fender (passive P or PJ) if I find a real nice one at a good price though. I've been downsizing my pedal collection lately - I've just sold an OC-2, I sold you the Paisley, I have a Supercollider Beast alerady and I don't fancy the Zoom! You're welcome to come and try it out anytime though!
  2. I'd recommend Markbass with a VT Bass pedal to make it sound like an Ampeg! That's what I use, although I might want to swap my 121P combo for a head+cab at some point.
  3. Love the transparent white finish! :brow:
  4. If you're going for overdriven tones, put a tubescreamer type pedal into it - the mid hump from that will help to counteract the BDDI's mid scoop! Many people use an EQ pedal too, or as you said crank the mids on the amp. Or just buy a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48570&st=20"]VT Bass![/url]
  5. Here's the info about the circuit: [url="http://www.muzique.com/lab/pickups.htm"]http://www.muzique.com/lab/pickups.htm[/url]
  6. Sorted, buy Higgie's and sell yours on!
  7. How about everyone from Basschat wears a silly hat so we can recognize each other and say hello?!
  8. Actually they had a link to buy discount tickets for their previous gig and they say the link is to follow for the 100 Club one, so it looks like you won't have to!
  9. I'll try and make it too, I love a bit o' funk. The myspace says there's a discount guestlist, let us know if you can sort us all out!
  10. Anyone after a Sansamp BDDI should check out this Behringer clone, it sounds just as good and is cheap as chips!
  11. I'd also be interested to know of anyone who can do this kind of work cheaply in London!
  12. Now on eBay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120436326380"]eBay - Way Huge Pork Loin Pedal[/url]

    boost

    Also: Electronix Submarine, Xotic RC Boost, Catalinbread Picoso / Super Chili Picoso
  14. Found this on Gumtree, asked the buyer and it is indeed still for sale... bargain but I don't really want it. Found some info on Talkbass about one, somebody paid $650 for the same bass. Someone grab this! [url="http://www.gumtree.com/london/14/39891114.html"]http://www.gumtree.com/london/14/39891114.html[/url]
  15. Maybe this? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51998"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51998[/url] He just got a bass trainer, did you sell him yours?
  16. I use a Behringer Micromon, cheap and cheerful: [url="http://www.dv247.com/invt/38127/"]http://www.dv247.com/invt/38127/[/url] I have an adaptor lead to take a mini stereo jack to a full size one so I can plug in my iPod. Then I either run from the XLR out on my Markbass amp or use my Radial JDI to connect to the mic input. Sound quality is pretty good, probably not as good as the boutique Cafe Walter Headphone Amp, but they cost quite a bit and you have to import them. If you already have an amp with an XLR out or some kind of DI box, this is by far your cheapest option! It's also really tiny, like the small MXR stomp boxes. Tip - turn the iPod EQ setting to bass reducer so you can reduce the bass in the original song and fill in with your own playing.
  17. They're available over here as Jim Deacon basses, exactly the same as SX except for the logo on the headstock! Hartnoll guitars sell the P for £109 delivered.

    boost

    Try Silent Fly's Red Dragon boost in the for sale section. Should do a clean boost as well as a mildly overdriven boost too!
  19. With the flats on, this is an old school monster with plenty of thump. I've now put a set of the same flats on my Precision and I'm now sorted for thumpiness, so I put some fresh rounds on this SG to try. Sounds like an active jazz on steroids, really meaty with the low mids boosted on the on-board EQ, with tons of sizzling top end. Although they look like old mudbuckers, these Darkstars are single coils with a really detailed and natural sound. Although it's a lovely bass, my main player is still the Precision, and this is an expensive bass for me to have lying around as a backup so I'm afraid it must go. May trade for a decent Fender P also!
  20. Could be up for that Jazz to muck about on once I sell my SG - I just don't have room for another bass at the moment! I could get to Chessington, but let me know if you're ever coming into SW or central London.
  21. If you're after smooth creamy overdrive, I'm selling a Way Huge Pork Loin! If you want high gain distortion I'd look elsewhere though. Tech21 XXL, Boss HM-2 and Ashdown James Lomenzo are good options.
  22. Markbass LMII is a good option, add a VT Bass pedal and you will get the authentic cranked Ampeg punk sound not problem. Or how about the Mesa Walkabout?
