  1. Cheers mate
  2. Bump... Price £40 posted in the UK!
  3. Bump. Open to offers...
  4. Hey jel, Cheers for the offer, but I'm looking for cash I'm afraid. Behringer pedals are great value, but not looking for phasers, delays or choruses at the mo! Do let me know if you're still interested! All the best, Sam
  5. Thinking about it as well... If you're mainly worried about dust, dirt etc. and general bumps, just get a padded cover from Roqsolid or someone similar. I wouldn't suggest a flightcase unless you're lugging the cab in a van with loads of gear or if you're actually putting it in the hold of a plane. Flightcases are bloody heavy...
  6. www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk Simple!
  7. Here's my main squeeze... Used to be a mid 90s Fender USA P, but a Warmoth neck, Bartolini pickups and some re-wiring, it's a bit different now! Fingerboard is goncalo alves, but cannot for the life of me remember what the neck wood is... Frets are for wimps! [attachment=146134:IMG_0770.jpg] [attachment=146135:IMG_0850.jpg]
  8. I love TI flatwounds because they feel so much closer to double bass and cello strings. They sing too! Took a bit of truss rod adjustment and a new nut but in my opinion they're beautiful! Mind you, LaBella deep talkin' flats are just as nice... Ahh strings...
  9. Hello mate. I'm based in Birmingham and can help with all the bits you need. I'm a professional composer and bassist, fully classically trained with lots of experience in contemporary classical, improvisation, jazz, fusion etc. I'm not a primo jazz man, but I'm always happy to help out if I can. May well be a bit late on the scene for this one if you're auditioning, but if you still need someone, do feel free to get in touch! All the best, Sam
  10. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1381754862' post='2243144'] £50 and you can keep my penny fee for my thoughts on your original question... In all seriousness I've no idea how much you would get for it really, they never seem to show up for sale (which is another indicator they are quality instruments). [/quote] DEAL! ... Haha! Yeah, i really have no idea what it's worth. Was bought new for around £1300, but they don't make the solid walnut body version anymore so I have even less idea of the market value. I've seen a couple of Clover Xperion's and an Argo or 2 for sale occasionally, but not an Avenger...
  11. [quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1381750629' post='2243074'] Sell the Clover to me for £50 [/quote] £50??? You're having a laugh. Minimum £60 + postage... Instinct, I agree. Think I'll hang on to it for a while. At least until I can afford to get something nicer! Camden, they sound good too! Very modern and versatile. If you want to buy mine, you'll have to beat TRBboy's impressive offer....!!!
  12. Haha! Very true... Clover basses are nice. No idea why they aren't more popular... I suppose it might have something to do with going from being a smallish custom company to a massive, all hands on deck company. I think the older instruments are nicer, despite the new ones being pretty solid. Some of their hardware is kind of ridiculous though. The Clover bridge is unnecessarily complicated and the tuners on my Avenger were absolutely rubbish. Good value, modern sounding instruments though!
  13. Yup... I'll keep the ol' girl. Camden, do you want your penny shipped UPS, FedEx or buried at a location of your choice?
  14. As far as I know, they work in a similar way to a harp with a pedal for each string or set of strings. Each pedal alters the pitch of the string (not sure by how much on a pedal steel, but on a harp it's generally up and down a semi-tone) so you can change note during performance. BJ Cole is the man for pedal steel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKo0mW8e96M
  15. Ah ha... I'll have to seek out the 'one bass' thread for some opinion. Thanks discreet.
  16. Very true, Truckstop... I suppose I can't decide if I want to sell or not. Bah!
  17. Hey guys, I have a bass related dilemma and I'd love to hear some similar stories or get some seasoned advice... I've owned an 'old' Clover Avenger 5 (one with a solid walnut body as opposed to the walnut top you get nowadays) for a while now and, although I love it dearly and it's been through a lot with me, it doesn't get a play anymore *cue violins* All the music I play and write these days calls for fretless and my playing has morphed from loving shiny 5-strings with all mod cons to yearning for a flexible, organic and woody sounding fretless. I've come close to reaching the sound in my head with a heavily modified Fender P-Bass that I've had a very long time, but my dilemma is this: is it worth keeping the old Clover lying around, seldom used, sitting in a flight case? Should I sell her, swap her and disgrace her? My heart wrenches and I'm caught in several minds. Lord of bass help me with advice and stories! P.S. Here's some arbitrary photos for your praise and scorn... [attachment=146035:IMG_0846.jpg][attachment=146034:IMG_0842.jpg][attachment=146033:IMG_0770.jpg]
  18. Boss AW-3 Dynamic Wah for sale. Hasn't been used very much, but the paintwork has a few nicks. Other than that, in perfect working order. Was £115ish new, selling for £40.

  19. Cheers Noir. Have pm'd you back.
  20. I have an 'as new as possibly can be without being brand new' Electro Harmonix Micro Q-Tron for sale. Bought a couple of months ago and used for one gig. Not for me, but is a nice sounding pedal! Is in perfect condition with no dings, dents or anything. Has all original packaging etc. and is in full working order. £50 new, selling for £40. Open to offers, based in Birmingham for collection but can post at buyers expense. Cheers! [attachment=146023:IMG_0834.jpg][attachment=146024:IMG_0835.jpg]
  21. Hey guys, I have a Yamaha NE-1 Nathan East EQ for sale. Has been used extensively in the studio, but never taken out on the road. Has a few dings in the paintwork, but is in full working order and all cleaned etc.. Can't remember how much I paid for it, but I believe they were around £60/70 new. Selling for £35, based in Birmingham for collection but can post at buyers expense. Cheers! Sam [attachment=146011:IMG_0839.jpg][attachment=146012:IMG_0840.jpg]
