  1. Stonking! These are my favourite basses ever. Barrie's an absolute gent to deal with too. You can't go wrong. Good luck with the trade, Barrie, someone is going to be a very happy punter.
  2. 7lb basses are few and far between. Keep it. Chuck some Wizards or Fralins in the Aero and it'll rock on forever. I had an Aero with Fralins and it was fantastic, I only got rid of it because it was uncomfortable with that weird shape body and bound edge.
  3. Weekend bump.

  5. I play this with the Amy band regularly and it's a case of remembering a few of the essential fills and just improvising around what Flea does. There's an absolute banging live version of it [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR6mEu5-egA"]here[/url] with the outstanding Taylor Hawkins drumming. The bassist has a great tone - no idea what he's using but it kills. I've have a real thing for Alanis - she is superhot in really weird grungy-scary-mary-stalker-knifing-you-in-your-sleep kinda way.
  6. I'm selling my DHA rack preamp to make way for an all in one valve head. This is a new (and I think it's the first) VT3 unit. In fact, the pics of my one are on the ebay listing. I've had this unit only one month, it's never been gigged, just had a few hours of use in the house. It comes with the PSU and a footswitch adaptor that enables MIDI switching if needed but that's not necessary only if you need that function. It comes in the red/white custom paint finish. Tone on this is really weighty and gives the full valve experience brilliantly. I've cut and pasted the spec from the website to give all the detail. [i] The VT3-Twin-EQ-Guitar-RM uses three 12AX7 (ECC83) valves to generate classic pure valve tones. There are two separate selectable channels Red or Blue with separate 3 band active EQ on each. The VT3-Twin-EQ-Guitar-RM is capable of producing a very wide range of gains to suit all types of playing. It is intended to be used as a valve pre-amp for use on the road or in the studio, it works best when overdriving valve amps, but will also work well with solid state amps or even digital recording set ups. The third valve is used in the valve driven FX loop. The VT3-Twin-EQ-Bass-RM is fitted with 2.1mm external PSU adaptor for use with a 12v @1200mA external supply. Blue channel – This channel is clean to crunch using both stages of the first valve. The circuit is the same as our VT1-EQ-Guitar-Drive. There common I/P pad control between the Red and Blue channels as well as the main DI out and Headphones. The Blue channel controls are I/P pad, Gain, Level, Treble, Middle, Bass pot plus a Bright and Boost switch. When the Blue channel is selected via the Red or Blue foot switch or front panel then the blue led will light. Red channel - This channel is clean to overdrive using a shared first stage of the first valve and both stages of the second valve giving 3 valve stages in all. The Red channel controls are I/P pad, Gain, Overdrive, Level, Treble, Middle, Bass pot plus a Bright and Boost switch. When the Red channel is select via the Red or Blue foot switch or front panel then the red led will light. Red or Blue Level sets the output level of the effect to your amplifier, there is a lot of gain generated by the valves and selectable op-amp generated boost and this will overdrive the input of your guitar amplifier with ease. Red or Blue Gain sets the level into the second stage of the valve on the selected channel and hence the level of gain. Use your volume control on your guitar to control the gain on the first stage of the valve, you will find that the VT3-Twin-EQ-Guitar-RM responses very well to this and you can control the break-up distortion like this. Red Overdrive sets the level into the second stage of the valve on the Red channel and hence the level of Overdrive on that channel. Each channel has its own active 3-band EQ which cuts and boosts around 15dB in each band, so the 12o’clock position is a flat response. Each channel has its own Bright and Boost switches. Bright increases the treble response and Boost switches in a clean Op-Amp boost to the signal. The I/P pad is useful when using high output or active pickups or when using the effect in a line level loop. The I/P Pad control is common to both channels.[/i] [b]This preamp cost me £420 shipped.[/b] [size=4]I'll sell it for [b]£275[/b] shipped.[/size]
  7. Condolences to you and the family. A dreadful thing no parent should have to suffer. Absolutely heartbreaking.
  8. [quote name='4000' post='721518' date='Jan 22 2010, 06:45 PM']Her playing on the (not commercially available ) Crossroads dvd I have is far superior to her playing on the Ronnie Scotts dvd ( a much better mix helps too). As for Rhonda being a better player, I'm not sure there's any such thing at this level. There are only players you prefer. In addition, you can only judge a player by the setting they're in and the musicians they're playing with, which makes it doubly difficult, as different players will thrive in different arenas. Would Jeff Berlin be better than Cliff Williams in AC/DC? I sincerely doubt it. As for the vibrato comment, again, simply a matter of taste. I really can't stand all this "player A is better than player B" nonsense, it serves no purpose whatsoever.[/quote] +2 [quote name='skankdelvar' post='720890' date='Jan 22 2010, 10:10 AM']Tal? Rhonda? Nah. I'd rather see him back and partnered up with Ron 'Evil Goblin King' Wood. [/quote] But if Player B is Ronald David Wood, 62 then Player A and players C-Z are all better than player B!
