  1. I had a Jack Casady with TI flats on it, and it was as smooth and fat as you could ever want. Quite a heavy bass, though, surprisingly so for a semi-acoustic...
  2. [quote name='Ska Man' timestamp='1391967485' post='2363093'] Wow, Im really thankfull for such a great reply @loz196. You have just described this bass in great detail and yes it is really heavy. Thats why the owner wants to change it. I think I will buy it off him so. I have him down to 800euro now. Thanks again Bass friends [/quote] 800 Euros? That's terrible. You should definitely not buy it, and pass on the sellers details to me straight away, so that I can, erm, teach him the error of his ways.....
  3. Rig is still for sale - £700 for the lot (OTB, 2 x Aguilar cabs & padded covers, plus spare original valves). Or £350 for the OTB, and £250 & £220 for the cabs each. I'd also do both cabs for £450.
  4. Weekend special - both cabs for £450. Come and collect them (and I'll make you a coffee), or arrange your own courier (and make your own damned coffee ).
  5. [quote name='njr911' timestamp='1391688099' post='2360139'] Don't forget about me [/quote] Don't worry - I won't [s]I should mention on the thread, that I have a potential buyer for the OTB head (step forward, njr911), so I would be happy to split the rig and sell the cabs on their own...[/s]
  6. A few people have asked if I'll split the rig - happy to sell the head and both cabs separately. Prices above.
  7. Nice one mate! You've been after one for a while, eh? Oh, and you're absolutely right, pics or it didn't happen
  8. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1391586390' post='2358760'] "[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]The 2 cabs are the non-tweeter versions." - but I can seed tweeter level control and what looks like a tweeter behind the grill? [/color][/font] [/quote] You're absolutely right! These are the (more expensive) tweeter versions. I've had way too many cabs in the last few years and have obviously lost track Thanks for the heads-up. It's also reminded me that I have padded covers for each cab, so the rig is an even bigger bargain now!
  9. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1391528190' post='2358171'] That happened to one of my old cabs once when the drummer spontaneously combusted during a gig. [/quote] I'd gladly sacrifice my entire rig for that to happen to our drummer...
  10. Pics: I've deliberately taken a photo of the carpet damage in bright light, so it shows it in all its glory. Looks like a lamp or something must have been leaning against it. Makes absolutely no difference to performance, though. Maybe I should whack £50 on call it Roadworn?
  11. Ok - I'll take some snaps later and post them here. Looks like something hot has been resting against the edge of the cab, but you can take a look yourself later.
  12. [b]Now sold, pending payment [/b] Selling my OTB 500 and twin Aguilar GS112's to fund something a bit more retro! The OTB is in excellent condition - I revalved it with Philips ECC81/12AT7WC, so it's a lot more controllable than with the stock valves, but these are also included. The 2 cabs are the GS112 with tweeter models. One is immaculate, one has a patch of carpet (3" by 5") rubbed off one of the sides, but it doesn't affect performance. The OTB heads seem to fetch £350 on here, and the cabs £250 each, but for a quick sale, I'll take £700 for the rig. [i][b]Individual prices: OTB £350, cab 1 (immaculate) £250, cab 2 (with mark) £220, or the entire rig for £700.[/b][/i] I also have padded covers for both cabs - I'll throw these in with the sale. I'm based just off j.12 of the M40, and would prefer a meet up. Of course, you're welcome to arrange a courier to collect - I'll make sure it's all packed up for transit. I can post pics later - let me know if you have any questions. Tredders
  13. If ever there was a wrong crowd to ask, it's us It's really only you who can answer the question. I've bought and sold more basses than I care to mention, but the 3 that have stayed with me through thick and thin are my 2 P basses, and my Shuker, simply because they do everything I need. Incidentally, if you do decide to sell the Variax, I'll have it off you - I've been wanting to try one of these for years, and keep missing out on them.
  14. Too many to mention: Lakland Duck Dunn - I love precisions, and jazz necks, so it should have been the perfect bass. For some reason, I just couldn't get on with it. Weirdly, Jon Shuker then made me a P bass with a Jazz neck, and it's the greatest bass I've ever played, so take from that what you will.... I lusted after a Stingray for a while... bought one, liked the sound, didn't like the neck on it. Same with a '51 Re-issue P bass. And don't even get me started on the numerous Jazz basses I've owned (American 62 RI, Jap 62 RI, CIJ Jazz etc). All sound great in other people's hands, but weedy and lightweight sounding in mine. I should really just stick to P basses and be happy!
  15. [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1390130023' post='2341681'] No problem. Its been sitting around for ages unused and i know ill never use it again. Ill have a look for it today and hopefully post it out tomorrow. No need for any payments, ill get it posted through my firm :-) [/quote] And that is why I love this place! Very cool offer, right there...
  16. Great mods on this bass - I owned one, and the first thing I did was replace the (pretty terrible) original bridge, and the weedy stock pup. This is best of both worlds - the mods everyone always makes have already been done, plus you get the original parts just in case. Oh, and have a bump!
  17. Jamie bought my JV P bass, and it was a nice smooth transaction from start to finish. Really nice guy - I'd happily deal with Jamie again. Cheers!
  18. Thanks very much for all the PMs - it's sold to the first person who's given me a firm "I'll take it", so thanks to Jamie (bassintheface). Sad to see it go, but it's going to a good home
  19. I've had a good look over the bass, and taken photos of any dinks I could find - there are none on the front, most appear on the edges. None are particularly noticeable, but I took photos in direct sunlight to highlight them.
  20. [quote name='NJE' timestamp='1387455693' post='2312108'] LOVELY! what is the nut width out of interest, 44mm? [/quote] Ta! Shamelessly stolen from this very forum: "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Vintage correct [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1 and 5/8 of an inch which comes out at 41.27mm at the nut. In comparison the current US vintage reissue has a a nut width of 44.1mm and the american standard 41.3mm."[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Edit: Tons of info on JV Fenders here: [/font][/color][url="http://www.21frets.com"]http://www.21frets.com[/url]
