[quote name='molan' post='401799' date='Feb 6 2009, 09:52 AM']There's a cheap listing option called something like 'picture pack' which gives you about 5 pics plus enlarged views etc. Looks really nice by the way [/quote] You can also add pics with the HTML feature by putting links in to where the picture is stored - it's similar to adding a picture file to a post on BC and you don't get charged the extra by the banditos that are the robbing ebay bastardos.

[quote name='mrcrow' post='399008' date='Feb 3 2009, 03:02 PM']is that model very heavy? i like the headstock arrangement...and erm...you have the D string the wrong way round on the peg...i think be watching this one and a big bump from me cheers[/quote] It's very light, actually. [b][i]Previous owner[/i][/b] had the string the wrong way round on the tuner - these pictures were taken just after I got it. He also thought the bass was broken when in fact all it needed was a new pre-amp battery.

[quote name='The Burpster' post='391146' date='Jan 25 2009, 07:37 PM']There are few B2As, they do a D-tuner model and 5 string ones too... Also different colors.... Any chance of a couple of pics? Oh and someone ought to give the ungrateful little blighter a kick in the shins..... FYI I had a B2B and it was a great little beast (before I sold it to Woolleydick) these are great fun.[/quote] This a 4-string in black with a D-tuner and is identical to mine so to preserve the integrity of the completely unadulterated packaging I'll take some pics of mine. [b]NB: These are pics of mine which is absolutely identical. The one for sale is still perfectly packaged as it was when it left the factory...[/b] originally bought from Thomann and I see they are over £540 quid there [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/hohner_b2adb_bk.htm?partner_id=73572"]B2ADB[/url]

I have this great Ibanez ATK (Made in Korea). It's a mahogany body with a figured top and has the J pup as well as the great 3-coil ATK pup. Anyone that knows these will atest to how damn good they are. I just don't play it any more. This has been readvertised due to me having been given duff information originally about the year of manufacture and the original buyer was specifically after a 1995 ATK. Thanks to some super detective work by kdphysio we now have the real history of this instrument. The ATK 400 was introduced in 2001 and was made until 2003, the serial number is W9109xx, which means 'world' factory (newest Korean factory), September (9) 2001 (1) and it was no. 9xx made of that month. Up for sale at £250

It's a real Swiss Army Knife of a bass and does great P, J and Stingray tones all in one as well as having its own great growlyness with both pups up full. If you go to my band's website in my sig and follow your nose you can hear it doing its P thing on Losing My Religion on the MP3s there. It has the USA made and installed Lakland Pickups and the USA Lakland LH3 pre-amp. I got this from Bass Central in Feb 2007 so it's a 2006 model. I'm looking to sell for £650 or trade for something interesting... It comes with a Lakland hard case.

I have agreed to try and sell a Hohner B2ADB - it has the drop D-tuner mechanism which works beautifully. [url="http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?1523"]http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?1523[/url] for a colleague in work. It was bought as a gift for his son and it's not wanted (son doesn't think it's very cool and wants to raise cash to buy something a bit more "metal"). Anyway, this instrument hasn't even been taken out of the wrapping. I had the lid off the box to check and it's untouched since leaving the factory. These are super basses and excellent all rounders, I have one of my own and use it as a backup regularly or as a main bass when we play tiny venues. It's Korean made and comes out of the same factory where Cort and Lakland Skylines are/were made - quality is brilliant. Looking for £350. As new, still packed, unplayed. Sean PS: Did I mention it's never been out of the packing?

It's like asking for people to tell you what their favourite food is. You'll get almost as many answers as there are replies. In these times of financial hardship go for Elixirs, they'll last you till the next recession.

Dunno with basses - I'm very fickle, my Natural DJ4 with black blocks I suppose, it's great and the Spector Euro 4LX that I got before Christmas is already feeling like I've had it forever . But with guit*rs I have a 1987 US Strat and a 1997 PRS Custom 22 that aren't going anywhere, they are both peaches and I wish I could find a bass that's as good in [i]every single way[/i] as the PRS.

I used one every day for 18 months and it never coughed once.

I've been asked to learn Virtual Insanity and it's proving to be a nightmare, I just can't hear what he's doing despite having an accurate transription and having watched a few well meaning souls covering it on You Tube. I know SZ used an old Boss multi-effects unit (I posted a link to a NOS one for sale a few months back) but what effect/s is he using on that song? I have a Zoom B2.1u and just can't get anything similar out of it? Are SZ's bass lines altered a lot after initial recording? Any help with this much appreciated. Ta Sean

Cheers for the transcription posting. Just found a couple of things on it that might be worth pointing out... in bar 2 after the F to Ab hammer on the Bb hammers on to C before the Eb staccato sixteenths. Anyone else hear this?

I've been messing about with the EQ on the amp (LMK) and with it scooped a bit and the Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator knob up it does indeed give it a Vintagey-ness that is really useable for soul, especially with the P pup soloed but overall it's still like Godzilla in Wolf's clothing.

I was asked to post some photos of my new one but I left my decent camera in work and I'm not getting it back until Monday. Here's some 'emergency only" pics BTW it's Euro LX4 in Blue Stain, you can just make out the flame top in these pics I'll do some proper shots and put them in the porn section next week. **EDIT - Sorry about the grubby fingerprints, only just noticed them :blush:

[quote name='bass_in_ya_face' post='368391' date='Jan 2 2009, 12:37 PM']I used to take Lessons but can no longer afford it. Can anyone recommend a site that has decent online lessons for nowt. I'd really like to do the Guy Pratt one on www.icanplayit.com as the example looks very entertaining and he's a very funny bloke but I haven't got £30 spare at the mo.[/quote] www.davemarks.com www.studybass.com www.cyberfretbass.com www.cyberschoolofbass.com

[quote name='Boneless' post='366653' date='Dec 30 2008, 09:56 PM']So, how would you compare it to a Little Mark? Same cabs, bass, etc. Would it be able to replace a LM? Or, while good, you consider it to be somewhat inferior?[/quote] I've actually done this and they are very different - LH500 is warmer and less versatile. I'd happily use one and I really like the lack of knobs. I would seriously consider one as back up at the price - must be the best value musical kit out there at the moment.

What a bridge! I changed the strings on mine today to put a set of Elixirs on and the saddles fell out as I was doing it I had to reset the intonation which took me a while but these 'ere bridges bain't be for the faint hearted land lubbing bassist.
