[quote name='Rasta' post='578189' date='Aug 23 2009, 01:57 PM']Thank you so much for contributions to this post, I've just managed to fix a B-bass which had wires hanging off the active bit! bloody burned the tips of my fingers soldering though [/quote] Glad to be of help I was soldering when I did this post and I'm soldering again today, nothing tricky though, just some patch leads. You'll forget about your hands when you hear the results of your efforts

Rob bought my Zoom B2.1u from me. Great transaction. Great Basschatter. Great communications. Enjoy the toy!

Doug 's gear is listed [url="http://www.dougwimbish.com/gear.html"]here[/url]. As I understand it, [i]that[/i] Doug Wimbish sound comes from EMG pickups and Trace Elliott amps. Doug's technique has a huge bearing on his sound though and he still sound exactly like Doug if he was thumping a Precision through a B-15.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='576191' date='Aug 20 2009, 11:02 PM']That's exactly what I thought.[/quote] Certainly not obvious where the extra cash goes especially when the Ian Hill one is the same rice as a standard Euro4LX

Sting. Stanley Sheldon (no, really). The Ox. Macca.

The great thing for me about this month's BGM is Doug Wimbish on the front with his new signature Spector, Doug Wimbish in the middle with his new signature Spector, Doug Wimbish's new signature Sector reviewed in the middle and Doug Wimbish with his old signature Ibanez on the back ! Come on Rotosound, sort it out! Get some new shots of Doug!

And [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/spector_doug_wimbish_euro_4_lx.htm"]here[/url] they are a bit less but the prices do seem strong when you consider how similar they are to a standard Euro 4LX.

[quote name='molan' post='576172' date='Aug 20 2009, 10:37 PM']Was that a list price or a genuine 'street' value? £2,400 must be pretty close to what you could get a US made Spector for?[/quote] They're on special [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Spector_Doug_Wimbish.html"]here[/url] at £2299 (£100 off).

Well, I suppose it was inevitable that Barrie and I would run in to each other one day! Great bloke to deal with and certainly one to chew the bass fat with with a few hours. Great taste in instruments too. Go ahead, deal with confidence and tell him I sent ya

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='564702' date='Aug 10 2009, 09:33 AM']+ 1 on the Lakland vote. £ for £, the Darryl Jones bass is one of the best basses you can buy IMHO.[/quote] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28965&hl=darryl"]I have had two of these for quite a while and they are the nutz[/url]

Details of the product can be found [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=7"]here[/url]. It's a truly fantastic product and if you have a search on this forum you'll see how highly regarded these are. These are very easy units to install and full instructions can be found [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/index.php"]here[/url]. There are reviews of the preamp too. [b]£110 [/b]Posted. -
[quote name='Finbar' post='566879' date='Aug 12 2009, 03:50 PM']Yes, its what I do with mine.[/quote] Yes, I have done this too - effectively FOH plus independent stage monitoring. -
[quote name='pal1972' post='566151' date='Aug 11 2009, 07:24 PM']can this be fitted to a conventional jazz bass control plate? any pics?[/quote] Not as it is. You would have to unsolder the pots and attach tails so that they could be mounted on the plate - the sacing on a Jazz plate is less than 40mm typically. There are far more elegant off the peg solutions for a Jazz out there. But that's a whole new thread

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='566186' date='Aug 11 2009, 07:56 PM']Ok... thanks.. Er; what sequencer would that be then, exactly???[/quote] Garageband, Cubase, Audacity etc whatever...

I have a Spector USA preamp for sale - this is out of an NS5. This has cut and boost on the bass and treble and a volume and blend (it's not a Tone Pump, it's a Haz-Lab). It's effectively a three knob system (two singles and a stack). If fitted to a four knob instrument it would mean having one redundant knob. The pots for this are integral to the board and have Spector spacing centre to centre (48mm). The pots can actually be removed from teh board and you can put tails on if you're up for some soldering. Photos later today. [b]£60[/b] Posted. And out of interest, [url="http://www.steinbergerworld.com/hazlabs.htm"]here's a little blurb about Haz Labs[/url]

It's dead simple. Just bung a USB in the back and connect to a PC/MAC and it'll be recognised as a soundcard effectively when you fire up your sequencer. Well, that's was how it was for me.

It's a fantastic unit - all the blurb is [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_preamps_tonehammer.htm"]here[/url] I'll ship with two new quality 9v batteries included [b]£120[/b] Delivered.

This is the new Spector Tone Pump with the adjustment trim pot. According to a few people a major improvement over the old Tone Pump. This one has never been installed, it's still in the packaging. I'm told they are £99 new. [b]£50[/b] Posted.

They are worth next to nothing now but since I'm a nice bloke (check the feedback) I'll give you £50 quid for it.

I agree with what Pete said about the DJ5 with Aeros - fantastic. I've played his white one, albeit acoustically and it has a lovely feel to it and is very resonant; it was ages ago but I remember how nice it was. Dave, if you can't find a used one with Aero pups, I'd suggest going for a special order and getting Chi-Sonic pups put in, they are amazing pickups and are like the Aeros in many respects but have a little bit more oomph and a bit more breathiness to them. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28962&hl=lakland+darryl"]This link[/url] will take you to some pics of mine. I'm yet to try it with an onboard preamp but a DJ-Retro is on the cards. Not everyone can live with the looks of the Chi-Sonics but I love 'em. And, yes, the bridge pickup [i]is[/i] wider than the neck pickup I guess that's to accommodate a larger magnet so the levels are more balanced?

Excellent deal on an East U-retro. Super smooth transaction and a thoroughly decent chap to boot. Did the deal on Tuesday night, gear arrived Thursday morning.
