    This is such a great bass. It's been the P bass of first choice for testing new equipment in the showroom for quite a while and I know at least two very senior pro players who've also picked this ahead of anything else to demo stuff

    These are just great little amps!

    [quote name='rubis' timestamp='1396452290' post='2413843'] I can vouch for the Bare Knuckle pickups..........very nice [/quote] I agree - you don't see these much over here. Not sure why as they can sound really good!

    [quote name='topo morto' timestamp='1396359624' post='2412658'] We have a buyer! [/quote] Alas I don't need a synth pedal at the moment but if I did this is the only one I'd go for. I've tried pretty much every synth pedal out there and, to my ears (plus a lot of heavyweight pro players) nothing else delivers the tone of a Deep Impact

    Amazing wood finish on this - love it!

    [quote name='topo morto' timestamp='1396440548' post='2413621'] Any pics? Is the Lace neck or bridge (or, what's the width, please?) [/quote] According to my trusty tape measure the Lace appears to be 94mm. It has a red, slightly recessed, logo if that helps at all.

    I seem to have somehow amassed a huge collection of pickups assembled over a few years for various projects. Some of these were fitted & removed but some have never been out of the box!

    I've seen a few of these with knocks and scratches sell for around the £700 mark. An extra £250 - £300 for an absolutely immaculate one seems fair to me

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1396289239' post='2411920'] She's on at Ronnies later this year, but I baulked at the £150 tickets... [/quote] Me too - I saw her at Shepherd's Bush a few years ago (with Andrew Gouche on bass) and it was a great show and I've been looking out for another London gig but £150 a pop is way too much for me

    I've owned a string of Alembics and, in very general terms, I don't find the lower level models to be in the same league as the higher end ones My favourite was probably a Rogue but even that paled compared to an MK Sig and a Series I had. I think the Lowell models are still nice but, for me, they just don't have that classic Alembic vibe that the nicer ones have. A lot of this is to do with the funky filter based electronics though and you do sometimes find a more basic model has had these fitted as an option. The other thing to say about Alembics is that they are all very different. Each one seems to have its own personality and you absolutely have to try one before you buy. Ultimately I fell out of love with them and, for my really high end bass, chose Fodera instead but when you're up in this sort of quality bracket there's so many little individual things that make the difference

    [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1396264779' post='2411465'] Rickenbacker is 33".................I'll get my coat. [/quote] It's that extra 1/3 of an inch that makes all the difference though

    I had a quick look at about 10:30 and got straight through with 2 tickets available. However they were £145 each so I logged straight back out again. . .

    What's in the bags? Edit - think I just answered my own question! 2 volume controls, master tone control, output jack, battery clip, and adjustment screws? Umm, interesting, would work nicely with that spare Aguilar OBP1 pre-amp I have kicking around to give active treble and bass plus a passive master tone (at least I think that's achievable!).

    I think a 30w head with a pair of 2x12" speakers is a very strange combination. It sounds like you may just have some severe GAS for a big speaker stack. A 200w Trace into a single 2x12 should cover most gigs and if that isn't enough volume I'd go for a a more powerful head rather than opting to lug multiple cabs around. There's very gigs that need more than a pair of 12's unless you're atimg large venues without PA support (and if you're playing large venues you should always have PA support!).

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1395659408' post='2404699'] Have you tried using the Trace with just the BC212 at a gig yet? If not, it could well be loud enough (depending on your band) and would save you buying (and hauling) a second cab. [/quote] Totally agree with this. The Trace will be putting out a lot more power than the little Ashdown and a 2x12" cab should cover a lot of gigging situations. I'm assuming you're standing it vertically to get one of the 12's and the tweeter up near your ears. To get more volume overall you should have a good blast at tweaking the mids and maybe even cutting the bass. Your amp will have to work much harder to pump out really low bass but if you can get some nice lower mids cutting through you should find it sounds, and feels, a lot louder on stage

    These are just great basses! Do you know how much it weighs?

    I've tried quite a few Octave pedals and settled on the Aggie a while ago. I've found it tracks better than a lot of others I've used and it's the only one in confident using live. Have you had a look at the various settings on the Aguilar website? I pretty much copied one of those and found it works really well. I think I have more or less each control set around 1 o'clock.

    I've owned a Zon and used it as my main gigging bass for ages. It never sounded like any other graphite neck bass I've played and definitely more organic sounding than my old Status and the pair of Modulus basses I ownd at the same time. I like both the US and the Far Eastern ones but build times can be quite long for each and the US custom builds have become quite high priced now if you add flashy tops. Great instruments though
  20. molan
    Wow, this is nice. Don't often see the mint green on white look and aged gold hardware is pretty rare out of the CS, must have been a personal custom build (as opposed to a dealer spec instrument).
  21. molan
    Definitely start with those mids. If it's booming at you then lose a little bass and tweak the mids on the combo (rather than on the East). Low mids are the place to start but maybe some higher mids too if you're struggling to hear ourself. A second 2x10 might be the answer but I'd work on the amp tone controls first. Might be worth considering an Auralex, or similar, isolation platform to stop the low end booming through the floor.
  22. molan
    I was really sceptical about these until I actually played one. So much nicer than I imagined, a really top quality instrument!
  23. molan
    In case anyone is doubting the value of this then they should know that a masterbuilt option adds $2,600 to any build cost and specifying Dennis Galuszka is another $1,000 plus a 24 month wait list! And that's before you add import duties and VAT. . .

    Under good old 'invitation to treat' legal rulings I don't think a shop has to sell at a price that's displayed so, if I'm correct, he could have refused your 'offer to buy' at the displayed price
  25. molan
    When you say it is one of only 2 in Europe does that mean it was a limited edition run of Galuszka masterbuilt basses?
