    [quote name='Finbar' post='305146' date='Oct 12 2008, 11:56 PM']I'm more interested in the AGS than what the EBS has to offer, personally.[/quote] I was very disappointed in the EBS and it's got way too many things going on - I like simple things.

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='305068' date='Oct 12 2008, 10:08 PM']i think il wait until bassmerchant have them back in stock rather than paying an extra £50 for being impatient! [/quote] Oh, give me some credit, I didn't come in on the last boat! I paid £149 from The Gallery. I asked them to price match, which they did with no hesitation.

    [quote name='Finbar' post='304237' date='Oct 10 2008, 11:32 PM']I was going to order one tonight ¬_¬[/quote] What happened? I ordered one from Alex at The Bass Gallery - will be here Monday.

    [quote name='bluesparky' post='304134' date='Oct 10 2008, 07:21 PM']I'm always away with work and i've got the Aria Sinsonido bass. It's pretty lightweight, breaks down to basically a fretboard and headphones plug straight into it. I use the Line 6 guitar port thing too and think it's great.[/quote] Do you take this on the plane as hand luggage or in a suitcase or what? I saw one go on ebay last week for £220 and was contemplating but know nothing of them. I've got an 24' iMac so it's a bit difficult taking it with me but I'm going to check out those Phobia programs, cheers.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='303967' date='Oct 10 2008, 03:44 PM']just don't play bass for a week???[/quote] That's never going to happen! Maybe you can get patches like for smokers trying to give up. It's an idea...
  6. Sean
    Cheers for the ideas. Everything we've been told about South Africa is negative and everyone tells horror stories so I'm not really looking forward to it much. I think I'll be stuck in the hotel quite a bit watching Ashes to Ashes and Life On Mars on my iPod. I've just found some books on Amazon that might pass the time while I'm away...

    Bass Merchant tells me that they have sold all six they had, surely five of them haven't gone to non-BCers? Anyone else?

    I'm off on a trip to South Africa for a week and then there's a few more week-long trips planned over the coming months but I've decided after much umming and ahhing to not buy a headless/bodyless bass (Hohner/Steinberger thingy). What stuff can I do without my bass while I'm away? One thing I thought of was to take my little metronome and some sheet music and play the rhythms along to the clicks. Does anyone have any tips for what they do when they haven't got their bass with them for long periods?

    Still here. Cracking bass. Gig bag, gold PG, original pups + bridge all included.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='300183' date='Oct 5 2008, 09:55 PM']Can't get those to work - is it me? Pics look good though.[/quote] Dunno. Works OK for me. Anyone got them working?

    Here are some hurriedly recorded sound files of the two different Lakland Darryl Jones basses. [url="http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/76718/aeroDJprayer1.mp3"]DJ with Aeros[/url] [url="http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/76718/ACDJPrayer2.mp3"]DJ with Chi's [/url] The DJ with Chi's has got Lakland Steel strings and the Aero DJ has got DR Peacock Blue Long Life strings. Both volumes and tone up full on both basses.

    [quote name='obbm' post='299585' date='Oct 4 2008, 08:16 PM']Extremely cool. Is it a one-off or from a production run? I can find no mention of it apart from here. Also is it a Skyline?[/quote] Yes, it is a Skyline and it was a limited edition (a run of 20 or 30, not exactly sure) that didn't have an official name but was known as the "Clayton" DJ or AC/DJ. I found out about it back in May when I was talking to Lakland about a new DJ and they mentioned this one that was in the pipeline. I ordered it the first week of June and it arrived yesterday. The pickups were an addition that I ordered (there are two with Chi's) and I'm so glad I went for the Chi-Sonics, they are incredible. I'll record some MP3s tomorrow and I'll A/B it with the Aero DJ. It's a very different beast to the Aero DJ. As an aside: They are now doing a Chi-Sonic P pickup that looks completely traditional but has all the Chi magic (whatever it is, it's good) - It's standard on all P basses from now on.

    [quote name='obbm' post='299481' date='Oct 4 2008, 05:30 PM']Who owns this one then?[/quote] Me.

    Good to see you back, Chris.

    [quote name='obbm' post='298974' date='Oct 3 2008, 10:15 PM']So what's the story with this then?[/quote] Apparently it started as an idea on TB to have a special DJ made (like the DPLE ones previously done) that was identical to Adam Clayton's one - I don't think there was enough interest for it to go ahead but as I understand it, Dan Lakin thought it would be a good idea and they went ahead and did it. To the best of my knowledge there are two of these with Chi-Sonic pups. Interestingly this DJ has no binding and no "Darryl Jones" signature on the headstock. It also has 250 Ohm pots whereas the Aero ones have 500 Ohm pots. What pots do the Fralin ones have?
  16. Sean
    The "proper" DJ has the signature on the headstock and is blue.

    [quote name='BassKS' post='297692' date='Oct 2 2008, 04:29 PM']Is that a Gotoh Bridge that I see? its very similar to it and the new HMV fender bridges...[/quote] I can't remember what make the bridge is but it's high mass, fits in the original holes and improves the sustain brilliantly. It's quite a bit chunkier than the HMV bridges and very similar to the ones used on a Sadowsky.

    Effectively a modular 4 x 10. With both cabs connected and that LMK giving it some it's stupidly loud. Fantastic tone and unbelieveable projection. Each cab is 18 kg and the whole thing has saved my back no end and I haven't missed my GK one bit. :-)

    [quote name='mr_russ' post='297018' date='Oct 1 2008, 08:22 PM']a 5 string version would suit me down to the ground[/quote] Five string Glaubs could well be a reality very soon. I hear that there are three US Glaub five-strings being made at the moment and if the demand is high enough they will make Skyline versions.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='295819' date='Sep 30 2008, 07:57 PM']Do you have an 'accurate' weight for the bass Sean?[/quote] 8.8lb on the digi scales.
  23. Sean
    This is 1997 USA Fender Precision Special California Series. I replaced the original pups with a DiMarzio P and J set and the original bridge has been replaced with a high mass generic replacement that is very good indeed. The original pups and bridge are included in the sale along with the original Fender gigbag and the gold anodized pick guard (not pictured). Through a Gallien Krueger rig this this does the Duff McKagan thing superbly and with flats on it and the P pup solo it does great Motown as you might expect. The neck is like a slightly chunky Jazz neck, it's not as pencil thin as a Jazz but nowhere near as hefty as a '57 P - either way it's very comfortable. It has some scratches on the back and the photo seems to have picked them up brilliantly and made them look a lot more spectacular than they actually are. She was previously owned by "Paul, The" and I'm sure he'll vouch for how nice a bass this is. I'm selling as I have a new bass on the way and I'm just thinning out the collection a little. As ever you're more than welcome to try her out. Looking for £450. Not really looking for a trade but I'll stay opened minded in case.

    What happened to this? I never saw it complete on ebay.

    Show us your rig!

    This has saved my back no end. Sounds amazing too, the projection you get through the mix is fantastic. The LMK is great - it just has the versatility edge over a Little Mark II, switching from CH1 to CH2 and Mix is a great feature and has given me tons of ideas. I'm still in the getting to know it phase and still having lots of Moments of Truth. I wish I'd gone down this route years ago.
