[quote name='skej21' post='934984' date='Aug 24 2010, 04:41 PM']I once played in a band and went off on tour and the singer, who was a MASSIVE tool, started to really annoy us all. He also used to insist on wearing a scarf/pashmina thing for shows. This led to the guitarist suggesting that we all dry-wipe our arses on his scarf before he puts it on for the show. We did and the keyboard player even managed to squeeze a fart on it. The worst thing was, he never noticed so we proceeded to do it for a full 8 days before he noticed and threw it away. *hangs head in shame*[/quote] MB1. Very Grim! ..And on the Eighth Day!...The Poopy Paschmina!...

[quote name='Thepurepower' post='934954' date='Aug 24 2010, 04:19 PM']Ashdown ABM300 head for sale at £260ono, Vinyl covered version with a few cosmetic scratches but otherwise fine working condition. One rotary slider knob has fallen off, but its only a plastic sleeve, and personally i dont even notice its gone. Im sure it'd be easy enough to find a replacement but didnt see any point myself! Details of the II version can be found here: [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=legacy&ID=5"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.as...legacy&ID=5[/url] As the UK built version (and original) it does not have a in/out switch for the "grind" but otherwise little difference and apparently a hell of alot more reliable. Also alot more servicable thanks to separate circuit bords, not one big chunk of chinese wholesale stuff. Any reasonable offers or trades will be considered, hope to hear from you soon (pics will be added soon)[/quote] MB1. ...Is this the Original EVO model? ...Sound like it!

[quote name='Johnston' post='931927' date='Aug 21 2010, 02:26 PM']So would I be right in saying that it is basically a procedure that would be suited to climates with extreme weather or changes. So good in a dry environment or a humid one or somewhere that swings from extreme to extreme but for somewhere more moderate it's just for it's pretty looks?[/quote] MB1. I know this one!..I know this one!... its Carbon Graphite !

[quote name='Vibrating G String' post='931924' date='Aug 21 2010, 02:21 PM']If you insist. According to what I read on the Sadowsky site the magic fire changes the composition of the neck to make it more stable in regards to moisture. I could come up with a hypothetical about cellulose melting slightly but not burning and sealing pores or something so it could have some shred of truth under that giant heap of BS. There's some stuff called PEG that woodturners use on green wood that replaces the water (I think) and makes wood stable without drying it. I'll have to pass on the Bono offer, thanks It could lead to liability issues and then my lawyers will turn on me, they're like that.[/quote] MB1. ...Theres some stuff called PEG?...are Steely Dan aware of this?

[quote name='Vibrating G String' post='931602' date='Aug 21 2010, 02:35 AM']You guys may be joking but how long do you think it will be until an eBay ad hypes a MM as being a "Barnsley model".[/quote] MB1. I kid you not! Leo used to take the occasional Vacation there! although a workaholic, he still found time to visit his cousin in nearby Royston Vasey...thats how the Barnsley Operation came to be!.The reason Production ceased was due to Leo being forced to issue a restraining Order to one Mr Les Mcqueen formerly of rock band Creme Brulee!..Common Knowledge!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='931293' date='Aug 20 2010, 07:54 PM']After a few months I realised I didnt have one ( I thought the idea was you could not see your own,I know Im thick at computer stuff, Actually Im pretty thick in general!) So I thought it was about time.I think Leo actually ran the Barnsley operation until 1984 and checked each one at QC very carefully! Its a 1982 BO(Barnsley Operation),Pre EB, Pre G&L post USA, MM, Unroasted neck none Sub LE [/quote] MB1. Very few people know of the early Pre EB BO Musicman Stingrays....Many ,thinking quite wrongly of course! that BO stood for Bolt On....

[quote name='gcordez' post='931274' date='Aug 20 2010, 07:34 PM']I (reluctantly) have to sell a few things off and this will most likely move on. This is an outstanding preamp, and a quick search on the forums ('talkbass' etc) will turn up all the positive comments etc. This is the best preamp ive used for getting the best from piezo pickups and also allows using a mic (has phantom power too) and can blend both if desired. [url="http://www.headwaymusicaudio.com/product_edb1_acoustic_preamp.php"]http://www.headwaymusicaudio.com/product_e...stic_preamp.php[/url] They go for £199, its as new (used it three times) £150 posted sounds about right. The Schertler powered speaker is great also, i used it with great results but have ended up with an acoustic image and need to claw some money back. Heres the ebay link if anyone is interested and wants to make an offer.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='931226' date='Aug 20 2010, 06:43 PM']I did a gig recently and the first band on were a group of young know it all dudes ,The bass player is a Fender and big EBS rig guy but Im pretty sure they all though my pre EB was a cheapo EBMM copy! It wasnt until it turned out one of the mates was a fellow MM fan and came over after our set to see a Real ( If a pre is "real" whats an EB now?)Muiscman as he had never seen one in the flesh and spotted the original logo from a distance! They didnt look so smug after![/quote] MB1. That one in the avatar? ...Suspiciously Barnsleyish!

[quote name='Chris2112' post='931065' date='Aug 20 2010, 04:03 PM']I'm not sure. I love Modulus, and the flaked effect of the neck looks great (I hate the cheesy "Thousand naked ladies dancing" name or whatever it was they call it though!). However, their pricing is outrageous. I'm also of the opinion that Status do the best graphite products. Moses have always been a cheap option but I hear they've improved by massive leaps in recent years and are a viable alternative to the more expensive options. The old problems with them included excessive weight, poor casting and shoddy fretwork. They have improved great though, which is encouraging.[/quote] MB1. ...Have you any Idea how much it costs to get a "Thousand Naked ladies Dancing?". ...My Vote goes to Status!...They are Local.... and do do some Exceedingly Good Graphite!..(Not Good with Cakes though?)..apparently?

[quote name='Big_Stu' post='930916' date='Aug 20 2010, 01:46 PM']My understanding of the law is that IF you accept a repair being done you automatically lose a lot of your rights to a refund later. BUT the law is defintely different when it comes to used gear. I've just taken a valve bass head for an overhaul & I'll be getting told by Monday what's wrong & how much. Three weeks is a bit strong to have no answer. Has the OP told the shop that you'd like a refund in the off-chance that you find something else, but you'll take it back if they can fix it before you do?? PS. you're not talking Music Ground are you??? [/quote] MB1. ..That last sentence speaks Volumes!......or perhaps doesnt in this case?.............................................Coat Collected!
