    It looks a beaut. Keep looking or drop the guy an email telling him how pleased you were to see it. You never know The style looks very much like some of the Burns basses.

    Flats

    Pinball replied to Geek99's topic in General Discussion

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1393812956' post='2384648'] I've got some Status hotwire flats on my basses. Quite nice, I wish they were a teeny little more flexible and bendy. They do sound quite nice though, not at all thuddy. Quite cheap too, £26 for a 6 string set. [/quote] [quote name='lee4' timestamp='1393874384' post='2385392'] I tried the Status strings but found that the g was twangy. [/quote] [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1393877942' post='2385448'] I like the Status Hotwires. The Rotosounds I tried were OK but I prefer the Status, they feel and sound better to my ear. [/quote] Hmm thats an interesting one. I really like Status half rounds straight out of the box but wasn't as impressed with the flats. Since then I have found Status round wounds take a long time to play in but once there they are great. Maybe I didn't give their flats enough time to settle down. I'll have to dig them out and try them again.

    In two, play bass in one guitar in the other. First in the diary gets the spot. I'm glad I'm in two as arranging practises with one is difficult and if that was my only focus I would have quit by now.

    Hi I likes this a lot and at first glance this appears in good condition and it comes boxed with instructions but........problems in that the blue light stays on all the time and you can't turn off the pedal, it has velcro attacked to the bottom and the battery holder catches are broken. That makes spares or repair, or a looking at it now it would actually make a good chassis for a looping unit. Anyway its no use to me so if some one wants it for £25 + Postage your welcome to it..

    [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1393408823' post='2379787'] True bypass is your friend here, your signal chain is not too long, so if your ebs pedals are the new true bypass versions, your life will become easier. If tu are not, then you may want to look at getting a effects loop box. Try an keep a high quality buffered pedal in the middle of you chain, not sure what the ebs pedals are like in this respect but do some research on a suitable pedal, I use a MI Audio boost n buff. Then look at your patch leads, I have just rebuilt Mine using lava solderless, and in hindsight this was probably a major contributing factor to the tone suck on my board. Hope this helps!! [/quote] Thanks, the EBS pedals are "true bypass". I already have a loop and tuner out box so will maybe use that to loop out the Wah and tuner. I'm noticing a difference with the blowtorch removed so guess the fault was having a n effect because (it used to be fine). If I get a true bypass distortion or fuzz I should be back on track.

    [quote name='wishface' timestamp='1393352771' post='2379215'] Not new to playing, just never had the money to own expenseive/name instruments or spent a lot of time in bands. [/quote] Cool, well despite the impression you sometimes get on here you don't need to spend a lot to have fun

    Hmm everything that you said backs up my initial impressions that the Revelation was a good bass for the price. It felt substantial and well put together. The one I was looking at even had nice neck grain. I get the impression that your pretty new to bass playing (if not apologies ). I'm pretty new myself and have only been playing a couple of years. My experience was that my preferred neck profile and how I stood and played changed over time. Initially I hated fatter profile and wider necks but now quite like them as they allow me fro dig in and play cleanly. Having said that I am now back with slim necks and tighter string spacing strings. Neck dive is more an issue when standing up and recently I changed my whole playing position. I used to wear the bass quite high and hold it horizontally. Now use a longer strap so that the body is lower and hold the neck higher. What I'm saying is that your anything like me you will probably change your preferences a number of times before settling.

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1393279856' post='2378304'] That's a very cool looking bass! Good luck with the sale. [/quote] Thanks, a cool sounding one too. I would be keeping this one but have 11 guitars (lead, acoustic, bass) all with hard cases and amplification so stuff has to go. Space is the final fronteer!.

    Well I checked my set up. The way I have it is a direct line from my Belcat power station, to a Diago 9v to 18v converter and then into the Blowtorch so that should have been fine. I tried if with Batteries and the same story, the light just stays on all the time. My technical assessment is that its stuffed and just to finish it off one of the battery compartment catches broke while putting the batteries in Scrap? Now moving on to investigate the tone sucking problem without the MXR in the chain

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Price or Trade Value : £300[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]This is an amazing and very rare bass. It is very lightweight and good to hold. I'd describe it as similar to a "Bass Collection" or the lighter Ibanez basses. Farida guitars are very highly regarded but launched their brand at the start of the European economic crisis. The result was that these high end models didn't sell, depute being very competitively priced and well made.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]They are still available at Chinese Outlet here:[/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][b][url="http://www.flymusic.cn/goods.php?id=270"]http://www.flymusic....oods.php?id=270[/url] [/b]10,800 Chinese Yan [b]= £1050[/b][/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]These pics are from google but it is exactly the same and in A1 condition.

    I love the Flashback x4. Loads of uses for it as it has a great delay as well as a looper. A nice long loop time, great for experimenting. I use it live all the time with lead guitar as a stomp box for the delay effects. The TC stuff is great in my humble opinion. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZv3q-UlLE4[/media]
