    [quote name='OldGit' post='621381' date='Oct 9 2009, 10:24 AM']If there's anyone still in this thread Some people expressed an interest in the white 62 RI. An incoming sunburst version of the same thing (which is what I really wanted all along ) means that both japanese Precisions are now up for grabs: - Fender Japan 62 Re-issue Vintage White/Tort/Rosewood, non-export CIJ £350 - Fender Japan 1980's '57 Re-Issue CAR/White/Maple non-export MIJ £350 Small pic on the first post [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=56416&view=findpost&p=559739"]Here[/url] I'll do a for sale thread as soon as I've go the sunburst and made sure it's the right bass for me but this is a heads up and invitation to PM for pictures. Send me an email address and I'll link you to the webshots galleries for each. Thanks OG[/quote] I had a fair fews PMs for my 62 reissue, so you will no doubt get plenty after it! Good price as well As much as I wanted to keep it, I cannot just keep things forever. Good luck

    I am of the view that the Matamp and Orange heads are very very similar. I was playing a gig a few weeks back, and the headlining band, The Plight, (incredible modern rock n roll band with hardcore influences) had a GT200. The band before had the Orange AD200b. As Im Fender biased, the Orange sounded better, as the GT200 had a Thunderbird plugged into it. But they BOTH sounded fantastic, boutique, and more importantly, very dirty. But not in a such a way that there was no clarity. In a few years, im going to get a custom Matamp as well, so that way ill have both. Thats if London doesnt rinse me of all of my earnings!

    This is now sold pending the usual. THanks for all the intrestest and support. Sorry to the guys who didnt get it; I replied to the PMs in order of time received.

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='621311' date='Oct 9 2009, 09:13 AM']I take that as a compliment to Aguilar [/quote] Me too. In fact, the inside build on these cabs is great. Im no cab builder, but it looks extremely well made.

    Finbar, I agree with the tone with Glassjaw. I love their bass sound. If you want my opinion, after wondering around the world of dirty tube amps, the Orange AD200b Mk3 is perfect for when you need a good dirty sound at levels where you still can hear the drums and guitar! Plus, if you want to push it louder, it will give you all the volume you want. I never realised how loud a tube amp could be until I played around with it. At 1/3 master, 1/2 gain, its seriously loud with lots of volume left. The sheer low end 'heft' is insane. I suggest the Orange or a dirty Matamp. The problems with the Ampeg SVT CL is its weight, and the fact it has to be cranked a lot higher to give you real grit. I a/b'ed the Orange with the Ampeg CL and VR, and the Orange won hands down. Not only that, but the second hand market for Orange and Matamp is better, should you ever sell. Ampeg isnt as 'boutique' unless you get a vintage one. No doubt a Matamp voiced to be dirty would be the same.

    Yep, my DB212s are full of yellow 'padding' inside. I did the same, looked in the port. Its usual. There must be some reason for it.....not sure what.
  9. Musicman20
    Those Monos look great. Guess ill get saving....
  10. Musicman20
    Lovely bass! Now...I hope when Im a little older I can get down to some hunting for a vintage P and vintage J. I have what I class as the some of the best of the modern Fenders, now I need the old school.

    Im getting one with the Lakland JO5...maybe I should wait and see what that is like? Think its a Levy type soft case. I dont want to spend too much as usually the hardcases are my favoured option....I dont like my basses unprotected and ive seen what happens with poor gig bags. Some of the soft cases ive seen are just as large as a hardcase! I do like the Sadowsky softcases....maybe something like that or a really strong gig bag with padding.
  12. Musicman20
    Hi Its become obvious to me that sometimes I dont need the hardcases I have. Certain gigs require the entire band in one large car with amp heads, guitars/bass and basic drums. So, we have all decided that it would easier to each get one decent 'soft' case. Ive had some truely awful ones in my time....what do you recommend? It will be used to carry any one of my basses. Thanks

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='620605' date='Oct 8 2009, 02:43 PM']The JO5 is a superb bass - I'd be happy to have another. You'll love it.[/quote] Thanks

    Probs the best £40 for a cab ever, these things are like tanks.

    [quote name='Beedster' post='620166' date='Oct 8 2009, 12:25 AM']I've played a Precision or two and I can say with some confidence that the Jap '62 RIs are amongst the best. They have something that you don't seem to find in contemporary MIA Precisions or other Jap models (although I've not played an MIA 2008/9 model which I understand to be vastly improved on earlier non-vintage MIA instruments). If it's anything like the two MIJ Precisions I've owned it will be lightweight yet solid, sweet yet powerful, and bl**dy well built; the Oly White finish is just the icing on the cake Chris[/quote] [quote name='vispo' post='620221' date='Oct 8 2009, 07:46 AM']excellent bass[/quote] Cheers guys
  16. Musicman20
    I srtill think they are great pedals/DIs, no matter what. The Tone Hammer is much more versatile, but if you want an old school grindy pedal with a decent DI, this is where its at.

    [quote name='acidbass' post='620152' date='Oct 8 2009, 12:06 AM']I've been eyeing up the USA Joe Osborn models over the last few days, but having contacted a few dealers to check their availability, it seems we in the UK are limited to Skyline models unless we import them ourselves (and suffer huge duty as a result) My wallet may well thank me though if I do go for a Skyline![/quote] I've ordered a new Skyline JO5, and even though ive got a little wait, im really excited about it. Ive heard nothing but good things

    [quote name='bassatnight' post='620114' date='Oct 7 2009, 11:34 PM']Right, I am getting slowly peed off with this. I paid £669 from GAK for this bass three weeks ago and am trying to recoup as much as I can, who wouldn't? Like you guys I can find any bass if I look hard enough for cheaper as we all can. If you don't want to pay £600 for it then don't, if you can get it cheaper elsewhere then good for you go ahead and do it. I am up for bids, but what is the point of stitching a fellow chat member up by making personal comments about finding it cheaper elsewhere, I think we are all adult enough to shop around as is everyones right. I hope if you guys sell anything on here someone doesn't do the same to you. I am not a shop, just a bass player trying to sell an instrument for a price that is less than I paid for it. I shall take this post down now as it's well and truly stitched up! I hope the mods will look into this kind of helpful advice for sellers![/quote] Hey I hate the way retailers have such different prices, I know your frustration. I got quoted a lot more for my Lakland ive ordered everywhere else I went, luckily I got a really good price. Good luck with the sale. Gareth

    Feeler - Line 6 DL4 + Official Power Supply Not 100% sure I want to sell as yet, just a feeler. Fully boxed, instructions, barely used as I use it for guitar mainly. Not one mark on it...at all. Offers? Suggestions of value? Actually is as new, as is Line 6 the power supply. Thanks Note: May withdraw!

    To cut a long story short, a non-basschatter said he definitely wanted it, and I emailed him about 25 pictures, provided full information, to which he planned to meet. Then, he just said 'ive found another nearby'. Typical. This bass is back up for sale and is a damn good bass! £365 as Ive just had a setup done for the potential seller that let me down.....cost me £12!
  22. Musicman20
    They charged me £0 a few months back....£13...what are they playing at?!!! Anywhere £40-£45 is good...
