    I owned a BB 414 and a TRBX 304 and they don`t sound similar: different pickups and active versus passive. I have moved both on but I prefer the BB and now have an old BB 1100s and couldn`t be happier. To be honest, I found the TRBX sounds (and there are a good few available via the niffty 5 way switch) not to my liking after a few weeks. I tend to find this when buying cheaper active only basses but this is imo only. I not saying one is better than the other, they are just different. If I was buying one again, I would go for the 504 with the active/passive option and other pickups as they seem to get a decent write up. And the build quality is usually spot on as well.

    I have a Pawn shop Mustang in a case, under the bed. I had it up for sale but it is just so damm sexy that I don`t know whether to keep it or not.The thing is, I cannot get used to the smaller fret spacing. I much prefer a 34" scale. So it sits in it`s case, unloved [size=4] [/size]

    I gig once every Julember, whether I need one or not...

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1415992323' post='2605975'] The Behringer BDi21? Its actually plugged in with a double ended 9v lead to the output from the TC polytune which handily has in and out, that gets its 9v from the plug in transformer and a lead with 5 ends in a daisy chain. Adaptor in mains outlet - Behringer AB100 pedal - Fishman pro eq - TC polytune - Behringer Bdi21 [/quote] Ta for that.

    Just out of interest Pete, which power supply is the BD plugged into?

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1415983949' post='2605865'] Oh yes one massive knob controls the whole operation I'm afraid [/quote] I think that just about sums up most of us on here....

    I can`t see any shop meeting that price. I think they are £575 in GG?

    Used a Ashdown Mag since 2005 and gigged it about 20 times a year, no problems. Bought a TC BG 250, done about 12 gigs with it, it went pop. Back to the Mag. Agree with you Truckstop, sometimes solid is better.

    Last week, I ordered their cheap P bass copy as a gig back up for my main squeeze. Total cost £65 to my door. I changed the tuners and bridge to some Wilkinson gear I had kicking around, put on a set of Picato flats and its okay. The rosewood board did look a bit dry, so gave it a good going over with some lemon oil. The frets have no sharp edges, bass is nice and light and sounds pretty decent through my amp at home noise levels. I removed the transfer as I was looking to put on a Funder transfer, which I may do in the future but for now it`s a Spiderman bass! [attachment=176177:SAM_0792.JPG] [attachment=176178:SAM_0793.JPG]

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1415639826' post='2602278'] Wow, please let us know your thoughts when it arrives! Very interested to hear what it's like in passive mode. Truckstop [/quote] This is the way I used mine as the active boost, is hot, hot, hot! That price is a steal. I paid around £575 for my last one. The only reason I got rid of it was the chuncky neck.

    Yep, old Betsy was sounding rather nice. And that is a decent drummer as well. The band looked as if they were really enjoying themselves but regarding Ferry`s vocals, did you notice that the backing singers were doubling every word that he sang? Just his style or is his voice shot?

    I just stuck a set of Nickel wound Daddario EXL160M on my Pawn shop Mustang. They are medium scale, 50.70,85, 105. I haven`t had the chance to play it loud through an amp yet but they seem ok. Got them from Strings direct for £19.

    Just completed a deal with Dave and can only echo the comments above. A pleasure doing business with him and would not hesitate to do so again. Gerry

    [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1414955880' post='2595061'] DPD have a system in place that gives you an hour's warning ahead of their delivery via SMS. I'd be asking questions about why that wasn't in effect. [/quote] Spot on Kiwi. I got a pair of work boots delivered by DPD, got a text saying delivery would be between 1 and 2 pm and the guy appeared at 1 05.

    In my quest to get some space back in my home, I offer this thing to the market place. [color=#333333]Yamaha RBX 374 bass guitar, spares ,repair or project. [/color] [color=#333333]I bought this a while ago and the active circut and volume controls were shot. The passive pickups are wired to the jack plug and work fine. The volume and tone controls on the bass are not connected to the pickups and are there for looks only. [/color] [color=#333333]I fancied a fretless bass so I removed the frets from this bass. It is not a perfect job but has not damaged the rosewood board and could be easily re fretted if you have the skill. There is some paint chips on the body and at the top of the headstock.[/color] [color=#333333]There are some stickers on the back, one of which covers the hole where the battery box was for the active circut. If you like Motorhead, then you are sussed![/color] [color=#333333]The neck is nice and straight and the bass plays okay and has a nice set of Fender flatwound strings fitted which cost £20. The bass plays fine as it is if you are looking for a bit a of fretless blast. [/color] [color=#333333]The issues mentioned is reflected in the price and if you are handy at these things, for around £30 in parts you would have a nice playing bass. You can try the bass through my amp at my home in Paisley.[/color] [color=#333333]I would prefer collection or localish meet up but may be able to post if I don`t get anyone local. I would be removing the neck for shipping. I would need a few days to source some materials and would be looking around £15 to post, if it`s less, I will refund you.[/color] [color=#333333]***Please note, this is sold as a project/repair.***[/color] [size=4][attachment=175002:SAM_0754.JPG][/size][size=4][attachment=175003:SAM_0755.JPG][/size][size=4][attachment=175004:SAM_0757.JPG][/size][size=4][attachment=175005:SAM_0760.JPG][/size][size=4][attachment=175006:SAM_0758.JPG][/size][size=4][attachment=175007:SAM_0756.JPG][/size]

    Here is a Squier Jazz body I got on here last year. The body has been "de glossed" it ain`t shiny no more, has a good few scratches and dings, could really do with a re finish. Fender would call it roadworn! [size=4]Under the neck plate, there is 2 other holes that I drilled to fit another neck as an experiment, they cannot be seen once the plate is attached. It fits a standard Fender size neck.[/size] It has a set of Duncan designed pickups on it and is wired up to the pots but although they work, the electrics would need work. I was going to bin the pickups but will leave them on and you can decide what to do with them, they are thrown in and are not to be considered to be in working order. It will come with a neck plate, BBOT bridge and a set of 5 Wilkinson tuners with bushes but no screws. £45 collected and another £10 if you want it posted. Paypal gift is ok.

    I liked the song they did at the end of fridays show, California, nice guitar work from The Edge. I didn`t like the acoustic song though. The problem for me on most of their later albums is they seem to have one or two killer tracks, surrounded by guff.

    Pitch shifter?

    jezzaboy replied to jezzaboy's topic in Effects

    Wooks, ta for the offer but I will have to give this some more thought. It doesn`t seem as easy as I thought it might be without spending a good few quid. Ray, my mate has a whammy pedal that I might try out. Cheers for the suggestion.

    Hey Dad. That Wall of Sound nearly bankrupted the Dead and they had to go on hiatus for a year. So, mabye not the best business model for Fender to go for [size=4] [/size] But always good to see a mention for the Wall.

    Pitch shifter?

    jezzaboy replied to jezzaboy's topic in Effects

    Ta for the replies guys. I may have to tune down for more than one song and the singer isn`t sure if they will be next to each other in the set. The Mooer Pitchbox looks to be the perfect thing Wooks and at a decent price. Unlike the Eventide!! [size=4] [/size]
