I'll be buying my next set from these guys based on all the great feedback.

Something similar to the Variax but in pedal form would be absolutely brilliant. I've got my three channel Sansamp to emulate pretty much any amp setup I want, but being able to emulate different guitar tones would be fantastic, and definitely an essential purchase, even if it was just to get an idea of different basses I like to make the long, painful decision of "what bass to buy next" easier.

A Line6 KB37 would tick all of your boxes (http://line6.com/legacy/toneportkb37). 37 key MIDI keyboard, with instruments inputs and mic inputs. You'd be able to grab one second hand and have cash spare I imagine. It's not a perfect interface, and you might encounter some issues with latency every now and then, but it should be sufficient until you want to try something bigger. Failing that, you can get a cheap USB MIDI keyboard from Amazon for less than £30 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Akai-LPK25-Midi-Keyboard/dp/B002M8GBDI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364984378&sr=8-1), and you could pick up an Alesis MultiMix (either 4 input or 8 input) for between £50-100 second hand. These little USB mixers are fantastic, me and my guitarist swear by them.

Now sold, thanks Raimis! -
[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1364902751' post='2032323'] I want one and I don't have a use for reverbs in my current band!! [/quote] Once you have one, you'll find a use for it

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1364824945' post='2031278'] Another one I'd never heard of now added to the GAS list. Thanks [/quote] You and me both, I want one of these badly!

Bump, I really can't go lower than this.

Another price drop. Come on, £80! I really don't want to let it go for that amount of money but I need it gone!

My new Thunderbird arrived today so I can finally contribute to this thread! [IMG]http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y526/WalkInTom/81E7F1EC-F63D-49B6-A91E-2350FEE31AF8-2002-0000013C34029944_zps3756a342.jpg[/IMG]

Got it today, my manager at work very kindly let me stay home today to wait for the delivery I love it, it looks absolutely beautiful, lighter than my custom shop silverburst Thunderbird. Love the side-mounted jack, especially after replacing the nut on my other Thunderbird after it corroded terribly. Still can't decide whether I'd prefer it with chrome hardware or not, but the only change I'll be making for now is putting some decent strings on it. What a bargain for £350!

Bought an Alesis Multimix off Perry, great guy to deal with, highly recommended!

Paid off the remaining owed on my white Thunderbird with Wembley Guitar Centre today so hopefully it'll be with me tomorrow!

*SOLD* FS: Barber TonePress Parallel Compressor
TomWIC replied to TomWIC's topic in Effects For Sale
Now sold. -
After committing to buy a nice Alesis USB mixer on here, I'm moving along my Line 6 TonePort UX1. Perfect condition apart from a bit of dust, working perfectly, includes USB cable, original box (a bit battered though) and software discs (however, I recommend ignoring these and just downloading the latest drivers from Line 6's website). Windows and OS X compatible. Can't remember what I paid for it, but I'm thinking £40 and whatever it costs to post. -
I'm interested. I should be able to take it off your hands tomorrow or in a few days if you haven't got anyone else interested.

To be Wireless or not to be Wireless...
TomWIC replied to L_Bass_Dog85's topic in Accessories and Misc
I've been using a Samson Airline 77 for a few months now, a Sennheiser Freeport prior to that. Certainly in my experience, I've never had any issues with reliability, nor loss of tone. In terms of using them with pedals, you shouldn't have any problems. My wireless transmitter lives in my rack, but feeds to my pedalboard and then through that back out to my amp without any issues at all. So essentially, the wireless receiver acts as the start of my signal chain, then my instrument cable feeds from the transmitter to the board like a really long patch lead. The Samson receiver has some nifty features on it, like a -15dB pad if I switch from a passive to an active bass during the set. There's lots of different systems about, the Line6 digital ones get a lot of praise, as well as the Stageclix gear. -
[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1363655021' post='2015486'] Pretty I'm getting there. I just need a replacement bridge pickup in one bass, and about 4 new sets of strings! ... And once I've done that I'll find the next 'essential upgrade' [/quote] Admittedly, I need to do some restringing soon. Still on the quest to find the perfect strings, currently using Dunlop Stainless Steels on all my basses which are my favourite to date, but I'll be buying some DR DDT's soon and giving them a bash.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1363653849' post='2015469'] I've got a sneaking suspicion that it's not a real rig shot unless there's a cat present! Effin' awesome rig as well dude, I can only imagine how great that all sounds! That's the coolest looking Thunderbird I've ever seen too. [/quote] Cheers mate, I do love my Thunderbird. Hopefully I'll have a nice shiny white one with Gibson pickups soon too And for the first time, I've been completely happy with my rig, can get a huge range of sounds, from warm and clean to the most evil distortion you could imagine

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1363653560' post='2015467'] Is that an LTD B-15? If so, what's it like? Cheers Alex [/quote] It is indeed, it's great, always gelled with it really well as my first and only 5-string. I got it quite cheap as an ex-display model, and the pickups recently died on me so I've replaced them with Bill Lawrence P46s which gives it a better grind than the stock pickups, but I thoroughly recommend it!
