  1. Not much interest - doh maybe I'll have to keep her!!
  2. [quote name='gafbass02' post='953364' date='Sep 12 2010, 10:00 AM']Is that my Christmas body?[/quote] It is indeed Gaf!
  3. OK - bit of an odd one here, don't think I'll get what I paid for the bits so if I can't get a reasonable price then she'll have to remain a keeper. The body: Bought from here - MIJ ash body from here - like this one . . . [url="http://kenji-cij.blogspot.com/2009/04/jb-62-wal-jazz-bass.html"]http://kenji-cij.blogspot.com/2009/04/jb-6...-jazz-bass.html[/url] The Neck: Bought from here - Allparts (Licensed by Fender) rosewood block and bound with Fender branded tuners. Bone nut. Fender Decal, but the 'offset contour body' piece of the decal is in slightly the wrong place. Some nice grain going on on this. Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups. Badass II Bridge CTS pots. Warwick straplocks There are one or two tiny marks on the back of the bass- too difficult to photograph. What look like scratches on the body are reflections. Here's the pictures: This is a great player with a very 'up front' aggressive sound - also a fantastic looker. I won't be sad if she doesn't sell - I'll probably get the decal redone and sell one of the other basses in my arsenal! [b]OK - had a rethink on this and I'm gonna split her. Lots of interest in the individual bits - so - Neck - Sold - body - £200 plus post, Pickups £55 posted, Bridge - sold ![/b]
  4. "Wasn't as loud as I expected" . . . . . . I reckon maybe you're not setting the input gain high enough - I whack the open e really hard - maybe thumb it, then set the gain so it's just hitting the red a bit. Then I eq it, then re do the gain - usually bringing it down a bit. If it's really 'not that loud' then there's probably something wrong with it - mine is phenomenally loud - and Trace in general has a reputation of being louder then the specified output would suggest.
  5. I've got an AH250 and have my gain set pretty high with a passive bass - it's not a problem - enjoy the head - they're awesome!
  6. I need a set of EQ white tops for my Mark V GP11 - how much? BTW you should really post prices to comply with forum rules. Maybe you got to many bits to make that practical though!
  7. [quote name='Lozz196' post='949336' date='Sep 8 2010, 12:23 PM']Yep, go pre-eq with the DI, and trust the soundman. I played a gig on Sun, where the provided backline was an Aguilar set-up, and I really didn`t like the on-stage sound, however, all the bands that day had awesome bass sounds out front, so didn`t really concern me too much, as I knew the soundman was delivering. Given the choice between either me being happy, or the punters, well the punters win, though in an ideal world, it would be both.[/quote] Were you playing at the BOB gig at The pitz?

    SOLD

    Bargain price - shame I don't need one! Free bump!
  9. Use a credit card to push the string down on the 12th!
  10. I like a sense of humour - this is a funny thread! Free bump!
  11. Doubt it - he said he was a lazy f@%&er!!
  12. Yeah I'm a mate of Alien's - Pete is one of my facebook friends but i don't really know him personally. Last I heard he was still enjoying lots of liquid refreshment!
  13. [quote name='cd_david' post='938521' date='Aug 27 2010, 11:22 PM']Im just putting one together as I have joined a Floyd tribute. Never really rated Waters until I was learning the sets. Not technically challenging but difficult arrangements with tasty variations and like you say great song writer.[/quote] And superb 'feel'!
  14. I love the 'originals' on my 70's precision for my Pink Floyd band - lots of depth and nice 'clank' if you eq nicely. Because they're so tight you can get a decent action which makes up for the tension. Got them on a couple of basses - and 105's on my fretless - just lovely!!
  15. The Campbell Centre - secure mental health unit in Milton Keynes. If I was going to be mentally ill and need to be secure I can't think of a nicer place to get better!
  16. I had one. I loved it - it had a fault in the electronics that affected (i believe) a number of early ones so the battery would still drain when it was unplugged. Converted it to passive. Really light and fast - lovely!
  17. Yes Flex - I may well be - let me assess my collection and see what I may be willing to part with - Whereabouts in Northants? I'll have a bit of a think about this and get back to you!
  18. Let's not get hung up on the semantics of 'prototype'! It's about herbie's bass and him letting the OP play it. Herbie says it's a 'prototype' - that's enough for me!
  19. [quote name='ian' post='915483' date='Aug 4 2010, 11:12 PM']Short time price reduction before ebay 1200[/quote] Price seems good to me - free bump!
