  1. Picked this baby up yesterday, it's my perfect bass in every way! Im actually cured in terms of GAS...well for now. It's an early 2007 Trans Pacific blue burst ray with a maple neck. Ill get a better picture when I have access to a proper camera. My Iphone camera really doesn't do it any justice!!
  2. Sold on ebay last week but it's now back up for sale due to timewasters Also open to offers people!
  3. Nop, it wasn't me either! haha, I really hope this thread gets to like 30 pages.
  4. You all know what this is! Its in mint condition, still have the box, manual etc.. £43 posted or £40 collected from Croydon area. Mike
  5. Gob smacked. This is so obscene!! I love it!
  6. Cheers Moon, totally agree! This is now on the dreaded Evil bay. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270445134872&_trkparms=tab%3DSelling#ht_500wt_1101"]Evilbay link[/url]
  7. Dude, if you want a ridiculously lightweight head with enough head room to fill the biggest of venues id go with a Mark bass Ta503 with out a shadow of a doubt! Iv owened the GK 1001rb and loved there sound so much I was about to buy the 2001rb for the 'extra watts' but after trying the mark bass out through an 8x10 I was just blown away... The range of tone you can dial in from the EQ is phenomenal! now go try it out in a shop
  8. [quote name='dub_junkie' post='544179' date='Jul 18 2009, 05:54 PM']this used to be mine for about a year and it is a great sounding/playing bass .Superb fretwork and a great neck.One of the best neck/pocket fits I've seen too. The 19mm spacing was a bit wide for me and was the only reason I let it go. [b]The review in the mag is of this actual bass.[/b] By the time I got it from Eubassix the preamp had been changed from the one in the review so that the mid frequency is now on a trim pot inside the control cavity and the boost/cut on the front as opposed to the other way round which it was before.[/quote] Cheers for that Dub, I didn't realise the bass reviewed in the mag WAS the bass I own...I like that fact Monday Bump
  9. Don't suppose [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54794"]THIS[/url] could interest you? Mike

  12. Have a listen to Cage the elephant. Very good new band! Defiantly my favourite band atm.
  13. [quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='542803' date='Jul 17 2009, 12:29 AM']Depending on the design, it might. I believe some are not removable- however, I've no idea how to tell whether it is or not without trying it![/quote] I had a feeling some would not be removable... Well if it helps the bass in question is a 1992 MIM Fender jazz, im sure someone will know the specifics about the truss rod nut for this year/model.
  14. [quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='542248' date='Jul 16 2009, 02:03 PM']Depending on the nature of the truss rod nut, a guitar tech may be able to remove and replace it- I had it done to one of my basses and it cost all of £10.[/quote] Ahh this make me feel much more at ease Well I know I can buy a new truss rod nut for a couple of quid which wont be a problem, its just getting the darn stripped nut out thats going to make me go mad! Ill probably go to BnQ tomorrow and have a look at what they have, hopefully they will provide me with a tapered allen key tool or something similar. Am I correct in thinking by turning the truss rod nut anti-clockwise enough it will simply unscrew out?
  15. Iv managed to strip the truss rod nut on my MIm Fender jazz with my allen key earlier today whilst adjusting the action. Needless to say im furious about this, however does anyone know how I could solve this problem without getting a new neck? For example is it possible to replace the nut easily? Alternatively iv thought about getting a slighlty wider allen key and a hammer... Suggestions?
