  1. [quote name='Doddy' post='551242' date='Jul 25 2009, 05:44 PM']There are so many great upright players around. But some of my favourites are guys like Christian McBride,Ray Brown,Paul Chambers,NHOP,Ron Carter,John Patitucci,Eddie Gomez....there are just too many to mention or think of right now. I nearly forgot.......Edgar Meyer is particularly awesome.[/quote] +++1
  2. Their [url="http://www.shadow-electronics.com/doc/pro_pdf1/en-GB/SH_965_Manual_englisch.pdf"]instruction manual online[/url] is certainly lacking a bit. They don't mention having to alter the surface of either the bass or pickup prior to mounting and make it sound and look so easy. Will you be able to reset your sound post ok? It may be a case of a luthier job to install the pup and reset your sound post.
  3. heh heh... at least you stick to your principles. If you don't get along in a band setting there's no real point as you won't be playing "together". Hope you find something soon bud.
  4. [quote name='dannybuoy' post='545811' date='Jul 20 2009, 10:29 PM']I've recorded some clips as a couple of people have asked for them. Links are back in the first post![/quote] Sounds lush... Wanna trade a Black MM Stingray 3eq??
  5. Nice one Jez.
  6. [quote name='dannybuoy' post='513488' date='Jun 14 2009, 06:44 PM']Not 100% sure I want to get rid of this... It sounds great and plays brilliantly but after trying and buying various basses over the years, I've come to the conclusion that I'm a passive Fender P-Bass guy![/quote] Not being silly but, have you thought about rewiring this with just a vol and tone per pickup? I bet even wired passive, this thing would sound lovely.
  7. [quote name='geoffbassist' post='538621' date='Jul 12 2009, 05:17 PM']aghh gassss...................;-)[/quote] +1
  8. ONO type bump
  9. No Love for a great axe? Nice alternative to a Fender/Ric/MM. Great backup bass and a bargain. Going to ebay and gumtree soon. Anyone?
  10. [quote name='hubrad' post='529640' date='Jul 1 2009, 02:59 PM']That would be funny synchronicity.. I thought I recognised the band name - we were talking outside the Holmfirth gig just after your set on Friday. Me and the wife had chips(!) and I was playing guitar upstairs apres-gig. Must practice guitar.. [/quote] Blimmey, how are you mate? Small world. Nice chatting with you and your wife. You guys must have been roasting upstairs by the time you went on. It was an oven when I left before LL's last tune, plus the smoke was thick as well. Did the crowd stick around?
  11. There seems to be a lot of love for a Markbass LMII paired to a Bareface Compact or Bigone. Also, there's a Warwick rig in the for sale section. Guess it depends on your budget and the sound you're looking for. Good luck and good to hear your playing again. Cheers,

    RIP R,5,R,5...

    Condolences to his loved ones.
  13. gnasher1993, no probs if you want to check it out. Drop me a PM. We'll have a cupper and talk bass hubrad, possibly. The guy I got it from got it off ebay from someone in Keighly. You never know thisnameistaken, same offer for you, let me know if your in the area and want to check it out.
  14. [quote name='Monz' post='529456' date='Jul 1 2009, 11:51 AM']If you can widen the neck, change the pups and bridge, get a low B squeezed on before you get here we might have a deal [/quote] My 5 string Warmoth fits that description but there's no way I'd part with it. Good luck with the sale.
  15. [quote name='Monz' post='528485' date='Jun 30 2009, 11:40 AM']Bring your Bongo 5HH to Liverpool on the ferry and I'll meet you there with the Mesa swaps[/quote] Is it just a Bongo or would a black 3 eq 'Ray with maple neck sway you? (and the fact that I'm 20 mins up the road in Wakey )
  16. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='529176' date='Jun 30 2009, 10:31 PM']Are the necks on these basically like a P-bass? Or chunkier like the old Ibanez basses from the late '70s - early '80s, something like that? I've never had one but I like the look.[/quote] Hard to explain their profile. They are wide at the nut (~ 44 mm) but the necks are more flat than the Fender C/D profile. They're very playable and robust but not similar to anything else I've played. I'm not far from York if you want to check it out.
  17. This is now sold Here for sale a mighty T-40. Believed to be 1979 ish in age. A couple of knocks and dings but very playable and that ultra wide range of usable tones. All in working order. I'm selling because I need a new cab. I damaged my gigging rig . Cheap sale and a bargain at £235 + P&P. Comes with used hard case. EDIT: Looking for a straight sale with this, no swaps thanks.
  18. These are a great sound shaper for both live and studio work. I'm selling because I need a new cab after damaging my gigging 210. Comes with power supply, book and Line6 softcase. Hardly used and no damage. These go for around £240 new. £160 + P&P ONO. Straight sale, no swaps. Cheers
  19. [quote name='AlexLong' post='515520' date='Jun 16 2009, 05:44 PM']Can anybody suggest what to do before the dreaded ebay??? anyone??? Alex[/quote] Bass Gallery in London? local Gumtree? Any big music shops around where you could put up an ad? Local papers? Times are tough right now, especially for more expensive items. Keep at it. It's a great instrument and should eventually sell.
  20. [quote name='TheRev' post='509116' date='Jun 9 2009, 03:12 PM']Update. It's being delivered on Thursday! I feel a sickie coming.......[/quote] I know just the cure, playing a bass
  21. [url="http://www.projectsandhobbies.com/bassfiddlesetup.htm"]This link[/url] may help a bit. If you're unsure about any procedure, get on 'tinterweb and research it. Read all about it and get yourself well informed about not only how to make changes on an instrument but also what affect those change may have. There's nothing wrong with going in the deep end as long as you can swim
  22. [quote name='TheRev' post='503565' date='Jun 2 2009, 09:55 AM']One of [url="http://www.gelbass.com/bass/bass4FN.html"]these[/url]. I've not even so much as seen one in the flesh but they've got such a good reputation that I don't think I'll be disappointed. Only one more sleep......[/quote] oooh, that's nice. Enjoy and give us a review
  23. What sort of sound are you after? The Innovations are another good choice. A darker sound but lovely none the less. £75 on ebay.
