I think that Bernie's basses have a much wider spectrum of use than just benefiting from being played through EBS gear. The basses are awesome and so is the amplification. I favour the 115 and 210 with hd 350 head. The 15 gives a great piano type tone at the low end and great clarity, and is not at all flappy. I had a 212 on loan from Bernie and that was a little more rounded in its sound, but i found them both similar in the amount of punch. The 15 was the keeper in the end

[quote name='Faithless' post='715041' date='Jan 16 2010, 05:56 PM']So, I was practising my sight-reading at the moment, and, as I have a book of Bach preludes adapted for bass in my pc, it got me thinking - is it worth practising to sight-read classical music? Ok, it's chords, big intervals and such,but, on the other hand, it's pretty straightfoward - 90% of time there goes groups of 16th notes, and that's it.. So, is it worth to sight-read classical stuff? Faith..[/quote] Read bass and treble clef, and as much of it as you can, read anything if its possible. It will open a whole new world on transcribing solo pieces from different instruments and you will not be limited. You'll also gain a greater understanding of the other instruments you are transcribing

Sold, pending the usual.

[quote name='Stacker' post='768975' date='Mar 9 2010, 10:32 AM']This bass, along with the Jap Bound neck Jazz and a Squier VMJ fretless, is now back on board with the resurfacing of the instrument I was sniffing around. Please note there was no intended prevarication on my part, just nerves and a lack of concrete information from the other party. [size=4]1973 Rick 4001 FG[/size] Wavy Grover keys Non-full-width inlays Cheq binding Toaster front pup Rear pup has [i]adjustable[/i] pole-pieces Original black RIC case Bit of buckle-rash and a few scratches, given its age Minimal tail-lift No neck issues whatsoever. Been strung with Warwick Reds .040-.095 for the last three years Offers in the region of £2k invited. Would prefer local pickup or arrange your own courier. Overseas bidders welcome. Please see the other bass I have up. Any Qs, fire away.[/quote] PM'd you

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have one of these and would gladly exchange it for your [s]£140[/s] [b]£130[/b] plus postage which I think was £13 (any less then that's great, anymore then I'll chip in). It would appear that it is the time of year for selling these..... I recently bought this from a forum member, about a month ago or even less. Took it out of the box and carry bag, fired it up, played around a little and its been sitting gathering dust ever since that day. It is a great piece of kit without a doubt, but I honestly don't think I will ever use it. I am not into making a profit on this, just would like to get back what I paid for it. It includes power supply for UK and Europe, the original instruction manual, some quick start guides, the carry case and a little dust if you wish, at no extra charge.... So, feel free to PM me if you are interested, or if you are local and want to try it out that's fine also. Steve

Blimey, just beat me to it...... mines appearing later also....

[quote name='Stacker' post='767170' date='Mar 7 2010, 06:54 PM']I dunno what to post the '73 at, that's the thing! It's one of my several 'investment yet playable' guitars, ie vintage and non-pristine. I'm really nervous about floating this but I cannot see me wanting more than £2K for it; much more than that seems a bit unrealistic. Will see what they're going for on Gbase. That said, I know they'll be stupid prices.[/quote] Staker, At the end of the day its a feeler, and until the bass is sold at an acceptable price to you, its still a feeler. If you are so stressed about the price and putting it on offer or even selling it, do some research, get your prices right and come back to us.... its not like we are all going to hold you to a price on your bass and seek you out if you pull out of the sale..... You will also find that people on this forum will soon tell you if you are underselling, and that should reassure you that fair is fair.... Go for it, you have nothing to loose Steve

Hi, You dont have to withdraw your PM request, just post your prices i guess
-
Dont forum rules state that you should give a price ather than rely on PM's??
-
Can you post some prices please?

[quote name='macmellus' post='766896' date='Mar 7 2010, 02:18 PM']*sigh*[/quote] So, do you want to tell us what your point is? When i say "us", that is assuming anyone is actually really interested??

Anyone see what Paul Westwood can do with a Honer Jack 5 String?? Certainly holds up what Valera24 says

Stu Hamm bass clinic 12th march, 7pm, Dawsons Reading
supabock replied to Caprice27's topic in General Discussion
Have mailed you at Dawsons...... Problem solved, he can stay at mine as long as he doesnt steal all my licks Steve [quote name='Caprice27' post='764462' date='Mar 4 2010, 09:04 PM']Will do Supabock! Could you email a contact number to [email protected]? We don't do anything bad with contact details, it's just in case anything changes last minute. Golchen, how far are you? We've got loads of free parking and couldn't be easier to get to from Reading station! I forget to mention earlier but if anyone knows anyone that might be interested in coming please try your best to let them know. This is all being arranged somewhat last minute (2 weeks ago we got an email saying 'Stu Hamm might be available for a clinic, would you be interested?' and 2 days ago we got an email asking us recommend a hotel and book a taxi!) meaning we're slightly up against it in terms of getting the word out so any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers guys![/quote] -

[quote name='Badass' post='762606' date='Mar 3 2010, 09:20 AM']Just looked at Phil's profile and I see he's not been about since Feb 24th. Hope all good with him.[/quote] Well i hope so also, but it would suggest that he is not picking up his private email either as he'll get a notification at the very least that people on the site are trying to contact him....Anyone on the site know him personally??

I have the J-Retro Deluxe fitted to my Sei bass, and have to sat that the variation and quality of the unit is incredible, great warmth, definition at both highs and lows and nothing that is harsh on the ears. I have no difficulty dialling in the variety of sounds that are required in most, if not all musical situations today!! I had some PUP problems with the Sei in terms of generating buzz and noise so I gave John, who was most accommodating a call to see if he could help out. Without any hesitation and unknowing that it was the PUPs, and at really very short notice John invited me over, made me a cuppa, made the mods to the PUP cavities and also some soldering repairs, all I must add had nothing to do with the J Retro. Gave the pre amp the once over and a clean bill of health was given.... Now, in my mind, you would need to go a long way to find such a service, and Such a product. So all you basschatters out there, give the J-Retro some serious consideration as you'll not be at all disappointed. If you are reading this John , thanks again for all your help and especially at such short notice. Steve

[quote name='Blink' post='759937' date='Feb 28 2010, 05:31 PM']I am selling my Steinberger Spirit 5 string fretted bass. I purchased the bass from new from the old MusicYO site many years ago and it has been well used. The bass has been upgraded by the addition of an Aguilar 2 band preamp running on 18v. The work was carried out by Mike Walsh. The controls are 2 x volume (one for each pickup) and stacked bass & treble. Things to note: There is a small dent on the back of the neck behind the 2nd fret. There is a screw hole on the neck joint where I experimented with a home made arm to hold the strap. The spindle on the treble control is slightly bent. None of the above affect the operation of the bass. The bass is otherwise as originally supplied by the manufacturer. I will sell the bass with the original gigbag, the "string thing" so the you can use single ball strings. A spare set of Double Ball strings. A strap with Schaller strap locks. I'm looking for £250 plus shipping. The Aguilar preamp is worth £70 alone. I live in north east Essex. I'm not interested in a trade. I'm selling the bass because I have recently purchased a Status Streamline. Pics attached[attachment=43780:SB1.jpg][attachment=43781:SB2.jpg][attachment=43782:SB3.jpg][/quote] Hi, not being completely familiar with these, has there been routing to the bass to do the preamp work etc?
