  1. Why go for 'valve sounding' when you can get one with a real valve in it Use what the pros use: A-Designs Reddi - expensive but supposed to be the best there is! I know a serious touring pro & session musician who swears by these There's lots of info about them online but here's the first video review I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEmNT_pvU0 Of course, you know who's going to be stocking these soon. . . Our very own Borntobemild from BassGear
  2. Looks lovely, always fancied a Spitfire and I have a real thing about white basses with a hint of fading

    [quote name='Harry' timestamp='1323775140' post='1466776'] picture added with the pick ups in and Alex posing with the bass......... [/quote] Nice one H, Coming along really nicely
  4. Love it - I'm another one in the 'if only it was a 4' camp. Would look great next to my red metal flake Alleva Coppolo KBP4
  5. I use UKForex, great service, decent exchange rates and a flat charge of £7 per transaction. Really helpful if anything gets lost in the various banking systems as well.
  6. I use UKForex for international transfers - super efficient service & a flat charge of only £7 However, shipping & import duties would negate a lot of the savings. Only really worth doing if you were actually in the USA. Could also use their prices to negotiate with another supplier if anyone is in the USA pre-Xmas
  7. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1323546168' post='1464524'] Not selling but for sale at £39.65. The only one that sold recently fetched £5.49. [/quote] Good point! It threw me that the guy selling at £40 had 10 copies for sale
  8. Has anyone been able to compare quality against Aguilar original equipment? Aggie stuff is way more expensive!
  9. Have you tried calling them? Maybe they've got an email problem
  10. [quote name='paul j h' timestamp='1323543594' post='1464494'] Thanks guys for the suggestions so far, The Guy Pratt book is 1-2 months delivery time, which is a shame as i fancied that one, [/quote] Just looked on EBay & it's selling for £40 for a paperback! Maybe it's out of print?
  11. Pretty sure Phil has a pic of a Standard & a Custom hanging side by side (both sold now). I'll message him & see if he can post it here
  12. [quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1323421826' post='1463065'] They're doing other "Standards" too, aren't they? Emperors and such. [/quote] There are currently two Standard models. A Monarch Yin Yang 4 and a new Emperor 5. All are 'fixed' builds with zero options on finish, pickup configuration, number of strings etc. All are built in batches and every batch sells out very quickly! I'd guess that they are likely to bring out one new version every year / 18 months. BassGear have two of each of the current models on order - looking forward to trying them
  13. I was funking around with my MXR envelope filter just this evening, got some great Bootsy-like tones from it
  14. I've played the one that BassGear used to have http://www.bassgear.co.uk/products-page/bass-guitars/fodera/yin-yang-standard/ I think it arrived over here and was sold in under a week! Fodera can sell all they can make of these & I know Phil has ordered more for delivery sometime in Spring I have to admit that I approached it quite negatively - not least because I owned a, much more expensive, Yin Yang Custom at the time. However it really won me over after playing it for a bit. Looked great even though it obviously doesn't have the amazing split wood build quality of the Customs. Sounds was rich & full with plenty of attacking snarl & growl but if you soloed the neck pickup & wound the tone off you could get a great Precision type thump as well. Not sure if the guy who bought it is a regular here or not - maybe give Phil a bell or send him a message & I'm sure he'll be able to give you a more details
  15. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1323372968' post='1462740'] USA? Link? [/quote] http://www.theperfectbass.com/explore.cfm?STORE=Y&N=155&SN=425&CT=101&PG=101&W=STORE&P=N&S=1001081&U=1&SS=1&CR=Y&modify=0
  16. I love the bubbling little bass line played under this soulful mix from the, wonderfully named, Winston Warrior Solar Radio have been playing this for ages & it's taken a while for me to get into, partly because of the use of autotune, but I just love the bass. Give it a listen all the way through to hear what I'm on about Wish I could play anything like this fluidly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy7eRbQJQE0
  17. [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1322324550' post='1449446'] off the bloody chart this.. Julian Crampton on bass.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUuAedvq48M&feature=related[/media] [/quote] Love this - it's been a mainstay on my iPod since it was first released
  18. Just spotted these sale prices: Shuttle 3.0 - £325 Shuttle 6.0 - £345 Shuttle 9.0 - £435 3.0-10T - £510 (extension cab £310) 6.0-210T - £670 (extension cab £345) Best two deals, if someone wanted to bring one back, are the Shuttle 6.0 & 9.0. If I was going over then I'm pretty sure a 9.0 would be slipping into my suitcase. . .
  19. [quote name='algmusic' timestamp='1323350182' post='1462289'] Have a great gig.. I'm gigging in Henley that night.. [/quote] Not the Victoria I hope?
  20. Interesting if you're a Ricky fan http://www.premierguitar.com/Video/20111207/1717/Rickenbacker_Guitars_Factory_Tour.aspx It's not all guitar related - some bass stuff kicks in around 12 minutes.

  22. I think they are more of a home / studio amp (the clue may be in the title, lol).
  23. That's the one - £102 seems like someone got a bargain.
  24. Just spotted this, good condition SWR Studio 220 sitting at £100. Can't copy the link from here but just search & it'll pop up
  25. I used to listen to them quite a lot but seem to have dropped off the playlist recently - will have to dig them out again
