    Thanks, I'm already wondering if I'm doing the right thing putting it up for sale TBH

    [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Hi a stunning bass this in terms of sound and style and as a result of owning it I then went on to buy a 5 stringer SR3005E that has become my main bass. Since then this is unplayed. The action of this bass is amazing and it comes with an nice fitting functional case.[/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]I was planning to stash it under the bed but as my Farida Hypersonic hasn't sold yet I thought I would put it out there for sale as I have seen something else that I want. I found a post for what I believe to be the same bass here as the description fits perfectly:[/color][/font] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/174281-sold-ibanez-sr1300-japan-custom-made-w-east-u-retro-barts/page__p__1634317__hl__sr1300__fromsearch__1#entry1634317"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1634317[/url] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]"A real exotic beauty this one. The body is paduak that has sandwich layers of another wood in there too. The unbelievably slim and fast neck is a 5-piece bubinga/wenge laminated structure. The fingerboard is a highly figured wenge.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Both pickups are the superb US Bartolini P and J type, the original Ibanez pickups are long gone as is the original pre-amp which has been replaced with an East U-Retro Deluxe (passive tone pot and push/pull for active/passive operation. You will see that there is a mini-toggle switch, this is not connected but the internals of the switch are there for any future modifications. There is also an LED holder near that switch which could be used to house part of an East BLI-01 low battery indicator or similar.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You can see on the pictures that there is a small hole on the headstock fascia where someone had previously fitted an alternative truss rod cover. This can be easily filled and touched up if need be and if you want it done let me know.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a fantastic instrument, is extremely versatile with the amazing P/J Barts and East U-Retro and it its very light too at 7.6 lb. It has a nice medium/low set up and it intonates beautifully. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It has those special dunlop recessed straplock and it comes with both insert parts for mounting to a strap.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There's a tiny bit of paint damage on the tip of the headstock as pictured"[/font][/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/174281-sold-ibanez-sr1300-japan-custom-made-w-east-u-retro-barts/page__p__1634317__hl__sr1300__fromsearch__1#entry1634317"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1634317[/url]

    That's a very good deal for such a nice bass.

    1x Ashdown Evo amp for sale. Functions perfectly but was bought 2nd hand and it is well used. Marks on the cover so £110. I also have an Ashdown 115T cab, which is as new that I will sell together with the amp for £200, not selling that one on its its own. I'm 10 miles south of Bristol

    Being a "Bart" fan I would be looking for a Cort with Barts.

    [quote name='spaz91' timestamp='1394853085' post='2396045'] I'm really grateful for all these replies but something has just caught my eye, the TC Electronic BG250 combos. They have a 250w 15" combo that's only a few kg heavier than this Markbass [i]and it's only £300.[/i] So is there are catch or something? :S [/quote] Try before you buy. I tried the 12" version and 2x12 version in PMT in Bristol and they were very transparent and modern. Too much so for my taste but the 15" may be more bassy. Then again the Markbass tone isn't my favourite either.

    people are bidding on it.........that must mean that someone likes it! Maybe he was covering up a small chip!

    It's been like that for ages, and this seems to be the new norm. For a while ebay and BC have been flooded with nice gear used at decent prices and the quality of cheap new basses is now excellent. I expect that it will recover a bit at some point but it may never be the same as most people are now stocked up on the basses they want.

    Hmm well if its still for sale the first 4 images that come up when you google search "sandberg tm4 surf green" are the same guitar. I know because it was mine and a very nice machine it is too.

    Brilliant, thanks for that, Thats the sort of overview I needed. Although I have to admit that I'm going to have to look up some of those terms as I go
  17. Pinball
    Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to give it a bit longer and then but another up for sale. I'm not too worried which ones go to be honest as they are all nice and easy to live with. This ones a little monster

    [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1394192859' post='2388947'] Another type 1, just plug in the P bass and play. Adjust amp eq to suit venue,adjust tone control on bass for some numbers. Never felt the need for effects pedals, and as I watch one of guitarists continually try to gt his to work, I am glad I don't use them. [/quote] hah your all right I would be better off working on improving my playing rather than tone, pedals etc

    [quote name='whynot' timestamp='1394187870' post='2388837'] I had a couple of Streamliners. Sounded great at home but on a gig (full band function type) I found it to lacked a little mid punch/presence which I couldn't dial in. Lows and highs were lovely. [/quote] I like more lows and highs but I can see the problem as I struggled with my Jazzers to get a tone that I liked. With my Sandberg TM4. I loved playing them at home but found myself tone searching with the band. That was with both my Ashdown and GB systems. I didn't blame the basses its just horses for courses.

    [quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1394187864' post='2388836'] Aye, I'm very happy with my tone, although I wasn't for many many years. It took me a lot of research, experimentation with different equipment, and honing of technique, but I'm there. In terms of sound gripes, it's other things which cause me to be unsettled these days (like finding the right octaver, grrrrrr). There's always something.[/quote] This is the road I'm on and I'm getting there. There are always more refinements to make. For me its experimenting with pedals.

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1394184172' post='2388745'] I bought a used 600 and sold it within days. I found it lacking in volume and punch compared to the Orange Terror - I could max the volume on the Genz in my bedroom, bang an open E and the built in power management would just clamp right down on the note. With the Orange Terror, I have feared to turn the master past 10 o'clock (and that's with the gain nearly all the way down), and it just thumps you in the chest. Also I didn't like the big hole in the midrange and found myself fighting the EQ. I know the Orange EQ is pants as well, but at least I don't have a problem getting a good sound out of it. I might have got on better with the 900 and different cabs though (tried it with a sealed Matamp 2x12 at the time). [/quote] Wow I certainly wouldn't like to try and max the volume on my Streamliner in my house as it has plenty of beans for me.. Re: the mids, The bass sound is a chain of bass, leads, pedals, amp cabs. Changing an element like and amp can throw everything else out if its much different from the original. You certainly did the right thing in getting rid rather than changing other elements that you were happy with. Having said that its not the amps fault, its just that its different and doesn't fit your sound chain. I struggled when changed from my Ashdown to a GB system. The Ashdown system sounded nice and warm, was very forgiving. I could change other elements in the chain like pedals and basses without drastic changes in sound. The GB system is much more critical but when I get it dialed in I much prefer the results. I also get many more complements on the sound. I know exactly what I'm doing with it now and like I say I'm really happy with it

    There isn't a right answer as playing style and personal preference are a big part of the equation. That means finding the action that suits you. Also do your setting up at a decent volume. You may find that although the frets seem to rattle a before you plug in that doesn't effect the amplified sound. This seems to vary a bit with different pups, my EMG's pick up more fret and finger noise than the others-which is part of their character.

    OMG! Not again! Altered lol

    Very good and you know what? I have a Faith Acoustic guitar made with Ebony with beautiful brown streaks through it and its gorgous.
