The credit crunch continues Looking to get about £300 quid and a decent small amp for his, WHY, bumping my fantastic head!! lee [attachment=11455:demi_moores_018.jpg][attachment=11456:demi_moores_019.jpg][attachment=11458:P32900 44.JPG]Hi everyone Really not sure about this, am seeing whats out there!!! Looking at the possibility of trading down my amazing EBS TD650, for something smaller and lighter, and need a little cash due to impending house move. Dont need to waffle on too much about this head anyone who wants one knows what it can do solid state/valve preamp valve can be switched in when required for extra warmth/overdrive, and one of the best built in compressors ever, recently revalved with a groove tubes 12ax7 and housed in a warwick rockbag. Any info can be found on the EBS website, ill be happy to answer any questions via PM, I love this head but its really powerful and im only playing tiny pitt gigs (actually not even doing that till later in the year) and the odd jam with me mates, a bit of a waste i think, it needs to be used properly this head can do it all. Let me know what you all have! Trades considered- Markbass LMK , Littlemark2, F1, EA I amp 600, Warwick Tubepath 5.1, EBS HD 350(favourite trade) or SWR 550x and a bit o cash my way. (needing a bit cash or an Epifani UL502, as a swap would be great) Due to the weight and being really busy moving house and just about to have a baby, pickup from bolton would be preferred. let me know what you have- cheers- lee [/quote]

Hi Clarky You are right the older p;s have a darker colour due to sweat and oils andprobably loads of rubbish in the air i,e smokey clubs, just a thought is yours rosewood or pau ferro, as pau ferro is a lot lighter in colour, i would do what a lot of people have suggested and regularly clean the board with lemon oil, oh and play and play and play and keep playing again for another ten years, get all those finger oils in there, i have a Jv squire jazz from 1982 ive had it 15 years myself and the rosewood board is a lovely deep reddy brown colour love it, but the lemon oil works wonders. take care mate- lee Hi, just modded a US Fender P to my specs (see Gear Porn). The only thing that rankles slightly is that the rosewood board is relatively light coloured, both compared to my 1990s-built Fender CIJ P-bass and to any vintage P bass I see on this Forum or elsewhere (presumably years of 'funk' causes this to happen naturally). Given that I am trying to recreate a vintage feel (with the aged DiMarzio creme pickups and celluloid scratchplate etc) I would prefer it to be darker - cosmetic I know but thats what I want. So is there a neck cleaning oil (lemon oil maybe?) or similar which also darkens the wood and artificially accelerates the natural process? Cheers Clarky [/quote]

Hi everyone!! Definately work in boomy hollow rooms, have found it tightens th sound and any loss of bottom can be EQ'd but at least you have that option, love mine and use it for all gigs, but you.d probably not tell the diffrence in a good room. Bass directs price is fantastic i paid £70 (with postage)for mine about 3 years ago, well worth a try for the cash, in fact i fancy the big one all the best-lee The feedback I have had from my customers is very impressive, although probably not necessary for all gigs I think these are the answer for those hollow stages and boomy rooms that crop up.

Nickel is great, with a little garlic and some red wine , boiling is great have done it for years, have a special old pan, never dried them in the oven though, great idea, always used a clean!!! towel, if your going to boil a lot, its best to get strings which dont have silk windings, such as d,addarios, or DR'S, as silk gets a bit funky after a few boils. keep boiling guys- lee What happens if you lightly saute them with a little butter and shallots?

I once saw a photo of flea playing a musicman with a badass bridge a while ago, i suppose he couldnt get an EBMM one either if you need a bridge and it fits i,d say go for it, they are fantastic bridges, although the musicman ones are nice and sturdy too. i look forward to hearing about the results. -lee

No problem mate! Just an idle fancy, you have got my interest though, i love my Ebs but its quite big and i fancy a two channel amp so i dont have to use the EBS microbass, to swap between electric and EUB and a friend of mine told me very good things about the epifani. Just to clarify does this head only run at 4 ohms or can you use it at 8 ohms if needed. Got to have a think on this, all the best- lee

lee650 replied to Etienne's topic in Basses For Sale
God i would sooo love this bass!! not what you want to hear but i cant afford it, new baby and all that!, the wife would go mad, a fantastic bass at a great price and in such good nick, that finish is amazing its similar to my musicman sterling, im tempted to get rid of my warwick 5 to get this, but with an identical warwick still not selling on here i doubt id get a quick sale. Anyway good luck with the sale its a fantastc bass,have a huge BUMP!!!!!! - LEE -
Power cons what a fantastic idea, about time all manufacturers adopted this idea, its the future!!! Steve a completely gorgeous rig mate, you always have such great rigs, id love to hear that set up in action as ive always fancied one of those avalon U5,s keep groovin-lee These are called power-cons my friend. To me they are far superier to kettle leads as they lock in like speakon cables. The end the runs from the mains is white/grey and the end going into the systems is blue. Btw Steve, amazing set-up, would love to hear it! Jake [/quote]

The last two digits on the serial no indicate the year of manufacture, theres usually a dash before it so you can easily tell mine has 03 to indicate 2003 also a letter at the beginning indicates the month i,e A = jan B=feb etc hope this helps-lee bump anyone know any warwick resource sites for dateing this bass? [/quote]

I think he may have been referring to a fender Marcus Miller preamp and the east equiv, not a musicman, which it we all thought he meant, im sure he,ll clarify. mind you id be tempted to try the Musicman east pre in my sterling. all the best- lee Is this a Musicman bass? The SR5 preamp has nothing whatsoever to do with Fender. [/quote]

+1 I have an 82jv jazz (although not the fender logo, they are very early) i bought it 16 years ago, and it will come with me to my grave, fantastic basses, although i was naughty in my youth and changed bits(really wish id kept the original pickups, am thinking of getting nordstrands to get closer to its original sound, i have EMG jv,s in them at mo). Hats off to early squires- all the best- lee Same as you there Huge. No other basses make me feel quite as at home to be honest. Definitely NOT for sale. I think you're rght as well. There weren't many that had the big Fender logo. Never thought I'd say this. I'm picking up my Marshall Bass combo later on. The MB4210. I hope I get on with it. My Trace 300w 15" combo got nicked. Will keep you all informed on how the Marshall performs. Nervous nailbiting till I get a chance to crank it up..... ps. how do you all do that thing saying what you play and what through at the end of your messages? Signature or something is it? [/quote]

Thank you for a great peak at your amazing collection I absolutely adore the white spectors, ever since i first saw the video to "forever" and gene plays one i totally fellin love, i also love the one he had in the "tears are falling" video cant remember if it was red or pink, ive played warwick for years as i couldnt afford an NS2 ive no excuse these days with the euro series, must try and get a white one. Thanks again-lee

Hi I have exactly the same bass(and same colour) and can highly recommend it, great punchy versatile tone, lots of options, ive used it in many musical situations and always had lots of compliments on the tone. if its like mine photos dont do the AA flamed top justice. Big bump for a great bass at a good price- lee
