Allowing someone to use your bass at a gig.
CamdenRob replied to jazzyvee's topic in General Discussion
Some of the other bands bassists at gigs we play I wouldn't trust to sit on the toilet the right way round... let alone let them anywhere near my gear... -
[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1413287244' post='2576682'] All on display CamdenRob. [/quote] That's cool... I don't mean to pry but do you have a pic?

Ghost note sounds good kinda what I meant only with bad explanation!

I think it's something to do with slaps and pops... could well be wrong though...

Lowest string .317 - "needs to be thicker" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CamdenRob replied to KiOgon's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
This bass makes regular appearances on ebay... no idea why it hasn't sold yet... -
Squier Precision, or a waste of money..
CamdenRob replied to jonnythenotes's topic in General Discussion
The modern squires are excellent but the one I had when I first started was the worst bass I have ever had the misfortune to play... If I still had it I would pay you £50 to take it away.... -
[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1413220772' post='2576012'] CamdenRob I never thought it would end up like this.For years it was just the Bass Collection and an old Washburn then the bank/house thing happened and I started playing again. To save me de-tuning I looked on ebay and picked up the Washburn 5 string but I couldn't believe what you can buy these days. That was the baw bust as we say up here. You're right the house is better stocked than some shops,36 basses in 5 racks in the livingroom. All got for good prices, about 3rd under £80, 3rd under £150 and rest under £240. Still a lot of money I'll admit but I've been sober going on 2 1/2 years and well like I've said fresh start for me and the cat, better the benefits all around me than printed on a bank statement or in the publicans pocket [/quote] Quite right too.. Must be good fun to visit your house. It'd be great to play all those basses and compare what works for what. You probably own more basses than most of us will play in a lifetime. Have you got them all on display? I'd build double height racks around the walls of the living room or something similar... seems a shame to hide them away. With the value, a collection that size will always be worth a sizable chunk... even at an average of £150 with 36 basses thats over five grand... Are you just going to keep collecting till you run of space?

The thing is.. your ideal bass tone is subjective, so whilst it may be possible to find a bass that 'Rules them all' for your own personal tastes to others it wil be anathema... I still think you could get near any core tone if you owned a J, a P, a Ray and a fretless, but it depends what your looking for. I love the tone of a Wal, that's the pinnacle for me, for others it will be the ric tone... which I personally can't stand.

You seem to be acquiring basses at an alarming rate... where do you put them all? Your house is better stocked than the majority of music shops...

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1413197636' post='2575642'] Having a single master tone control is also a lot more useful for me than an individual one for each pickup. [/quote] I very much agree with this. With two volume controls it's impossible to reduce the output level on the fly without altering the tone.

With a new Sixer incoming I have to make room by sadly parting with my Spector Legend... £375 Collected (not looking for any trades) I have enjoyed this bass greatly after getting back into playing over the last couple of years. It has a quality and feel way above it's price point and has served me well. Ma[size=3]de in Korea[/size] Specs from Spector; NECK WOOD : 3pc Maple FINGERBOARD : Rosewood, with dot markers NUMBER OF FRETS : 24 SCALE LENGTH : 35" RADIUS : 16" WIDTH AT NUT : 2.12" BODY Our original NS curved and carved body shape WOOD : Genuine Figured Maple over Maple COLOR : Slate Grey FINISH : High Gloss HARDWARE Black BRIDGE : Spector locking die-cast STRING SPACING AT BRIDGE : .66" STRAP BUTTONS : Standard PICKUPS AND ELECTRONICS NECK PICKUP : SSD INC humbucker BRIDGE PICKUP : SSD INC humbucker ACTIVE TONE CONTROLS : Spector TonePump Jr™ +/-12db boost only, bass and treble CONTROLS : bridge pickup volume, neck pickup volume, treble boost, bass boost A few fingernail swirls but over all in excellent condition, nothing through the finish. Bass comes with a brand new thomann hardcase. Weight is 11.2lb which isn't too bad for a sixer. Bass is in Camden - North London, if you wanted to pop round and try it out you'd be more than welcome. Not looking to ship at this stage. **cat not included**

Up for sale is my Genz ShuttleMAX12.2. These are fantastic amps and ridiculously loud... sadly now discontinued. £575 Specs from Genz; [left][size=3]Dual Channels -- FET and 12AX7 Tube Preamps ; Switchable or Blendable Preamps ; 3DPM™ Power Management Circuitry : Speakon Speaker Outputs ; Internal Fan Cooling ; Full XLR Direct Output Interface [/size][/left] [left][size=3]High and Low Gain Switch per Channel ; Active 4 Band EQ with Dual Parametric Mids ; Three Effects Loops (FET Ch; Tube Ch; Master) l; High Current Class D Amplifier Design ; Adjustable 3 Band Signal Shape Circuits ; 5 Position Footswitch Included[/size][/left] [size=3] [color=#666666][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The award winning SHUTTLEMAX dual preamp design offers a FET preamp for articulate, precise, immediate tone and a 12AX7 tube channel which provides a wide range of gain structure that produces smooth, clean tube warmth or can be dialed all the way up to the critical mass of aggressive overdrive. This STL-MAX12.2 delivers over 1200 watts of output from an amp that weights only 6.75 lbs. Dual Class D amp modules produce full output into two 4 ohm loads (one per amplifier output). Our proprietary 3DPM power management circuitry provides increased headroom and a thicker dimension to the individual notes. The full output of the ShuttleMAX 12.2 is perfect for any venue and playing style. The SHUTTLEMAX 12.2 dual power amp design offers a variety of available power output choices: One 8 ohm load (either Amp A or Amp B driven)...............375 Watts One 4 ohm load (either Amp A or Amp B driven)...............600 Watts Two 8 ohm loads (Amp A and Amp B driven)....................750 Watts One 4 ohm load (Amp A) and one 8 ohm load (Amp ......975 Watts Two 4 ohm loads (Amp A and Amp B driven)....................1200 Watts[/font][/color][/size] A really nice touch with this amp is the notched dials, gives a real feeling of solidity. Please note that this amp has two 600watt (@4ohm) power modules and not a single 1200watt module... I appreciate that's pretty obvious to most but just wanted to be totally clear. The amp is mint and comes with the carry case and footswitch. Not looking to ship at this stage... It does have a valve in the preamp and I can just see images in my head of parcelforce playing football around the warehouse with it... Amp is in Camden - North London, although I could drop it off anywhere I can get to on the tube.

Ashdown Mibass 2.0. Disappointing. Send it back?
CamdenRob replied to solo4652's topic in Amps and Cabs
Whilst I am not a huge fan of Ashdown products, just personal preference, it's obviously well made professional end gear - This feedback from the horses mouth (so to speak) is excellent and to be commended. Only good things can come from a company engaging with end users of it's products. -

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1412946830' post='2573553'] Only if there's something fundamentally flawed in the design of your amp. [/quote] ah good, thanks for that... I got worried there for a moment.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1412948320' post='2573561'] after about twenty minutes drinking I'm likely to drop to my knees and howl like a wolf. [/quote] That's what we all do round here anyway.. you'll fit in fine.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1412947751' post='2573556'] I'd like that, thanks very much. [/quote] No worries, you'd be more than welcome... If anyone else around london has a Warwick maybe we could get a few of us together.. compare a few different models. ... then go to the pub

Your welcome to pop round when the thumb arrives and give it a whirl... if it ever does arrive... damn paypal.
