Nope - He was actually giving his bass to Lucy Pinder while her name floated in the air beside her.

Fender Precision MIM with Wizard Thumper <SOLD>
Higgie replied to Platypus's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='Platypus' post='258473' date='Aug 8 2008, 08:26 PM']Mexican Fender P with professionally fitted Wizard Thumper / new CTS pots / original cream pick guard + original Fender pickup. This bass plays beautifully and is nicely setup with low action and fitted with TI flats. Cavaties have been fully shielded. I bought this from Niceguyhomer in May, though now need to sell a bass or two. The tort pick gard hasn't been Tangoed ! - I will take a picture in daylight tomorrow. Apologies to Homer for borrowing his pics and link to origonal add I'm based in Harrow Middx and bass can also be collected from Windsor Berks £285 - same as I paid Link to Homer's original add here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18999&st=0"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18999&st=0[/url][/quote] God damn it! I'm trying not to spend money, but I have bad Precision GAS!!! -
A bit of a late update, but here is the newest addition to the Higgie Bass Army!! Sorry for the sh*te pic n'all, maybe better pics coming later if I be bothered!!

So, i've jumped on to the "recently acquired Stingray" bandwagon! Bought from the fantastic mr Perry on here a few weeks ago!

[quote name='Duarte' post='253796' date='Aug 3 2008, 05:12 PM']Yeah, I just don't think that sounds like a mutron - it may well be but I can't get anything like it out of my [b]qtron[/b]...[/quote] There's your problem my friend!
-
Ok cool, well let me know - I kinda need to sell it quick as I need the cash.
-
[quote name='Duarte' post='249896' date='Jul 28 2008, 07:43 PM']How much?[/quote] I have the original PS-1 power supply with it too, it's in great condition with just a couple of scratches. I'd be looking at about £400.

[quote name='Rayman' post='248302' date='Jul 26 2008, 10:14 AM']Cracking pair of basses there mate, a ray and a DJ, doesn't get much better than that.[/quote] Having joined the Ray and DJ club recently, I can attest to this! I have a DJ4 in white pearl with maple fingerboard, a DJ5 in black with a maple fingerboard, and a trans orange 3EQ Ray with a maple fingerboard They are all fantastic basses, I doubt I will sell any of them, unless I'm really badly in need of cash! I think I may have played this actual bass at the gallery a couple of weeks ago, it's a very nice player, and the setups at the gallery are very good! Do you know what pickups are in it? I have Aero pickups and a J-Retro in both my DJ's, and IMO they sound bloody awesome!! Nice Ray too...You've got yourself a lovely collection!

[quote name='Duarte' post='248334' date='Jul 26 2008, 11:34 AM']I've got a Qtron, and wondered if it is really worth spending the extra cash on a proper Mutron. How much better can it really be? Please share your experience/wisdom. If anyone has a mutron to sell, maybe gimme a shout. Cheers, Zak[/quote] I have a Mutron III to sell mate

Unfortunately my internet has been down this weekend, or I would have been on here ranting and raving sooner!! I am actually in love with this bass. Everytime I open the case my knees go weak Thank you Perry!!! -
And back to the top!

Stuart is one of the humblest guys out there - Jay Kay was the knob!

Unfortunately can't listen to the soundclip as I'm at work, but what a fantastic looking bass! Stunning. Awesome job my friend!

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='231840' date='Jul 3 2008, 11:05 AM']Which also translates one is better with you bass plugged straight in and another is better in the middle of a buffered signal chain[/quote] Smart arse

[quote name='Finbar' post='231670' date='Jul 2 2008, 11:14 PM']What no tuner? I never really understood the impedance thing with those EB volume pedals :/ They didn't sound any different to me. It is very nice looking though - I r jealous![/quote] One is better for Actives, one is better for Passives.

[quote name='Finbar' post='231278' date='Jul 2 2008, 01:09 PM']Not looking for anything that expensive I like my effects, and believe in getting good quality ones where possible, but you have to draw a line somewhere I've not really liked the Echo Park when I've tried it before, and the tap tempo isn't really that convenient to use IMO.[/quote] The Echo Park is the best you'll get in a single stomp box format. Ironically, I've found the tap tempo to be the most convenient to use, when it comes to the single stompers.
-
Be warned though, while the delay on the Headrush is ok, its quite basic. It's got the standards like tap tempo, repeats (and a nice high frequency damp for faux-analog sounds) it's just a bare bones delay with not many features. Absolutely shines as a Looper though. Most easy and intuitive pedal I've used. Awesome for quick on the fly stuff.

True Bypass - No tone suck.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='229868' date='Jun 30 2008, 05:22 PM']I see, that's understandable. A general question to all of those who gig with more than one bass: Do you leave your basses plugged in all of the time, and use a channel switcher to switch between basses? I can see the need for a switchable volume control, so that the volume for each bass can be levelled out and set, and switched. However, I don't understand why you would leave basses plugged into an A/B switch all the time, it would really annoy me! I have always used a mute switch and just swapped the jack cable going into my bass. Do you think this looks unproffessional?[/quote] Have you never seen a roadie bring on a different guitar/bass for the band after they finish a song? Doesn't look unprofessional in the slightest...Now if you don't mute the output, that's a different kettle of fish altogether
-
Rich is correct on all counts. No delay while looping, which is a bit of a shame, but at the end of the day it's got 3 independant modes, and in keeping with the size, only 2 footswitches, so turning on delay while looping wouldnt be possible.

+1 to everyone above Diago Powerstation, with a [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,39/category_id,3/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,206/"]18v doubler[/url] will double the voltage from 9v to 18v for the morley, only on the ouput you plug it on to. So the rest will still get 9V. Still works out cheaper than the DC brick too.
