    If this is free next september, and the price is right, and I'm allowed to live there I'd definately consider it! The facilities are better than that of my current halls of residence digs! All the best, Ben

    Hi there, I'm moving to London on the 13th of Sept and am desperate to get a band playing/jamming/gigging as soon as possible. I have no particular style or genre I would like to stick to but these are the kind of things I'm into: Blues/folk/barbershop Funk/Mowtown Distorted + Loud music I also play a little bit of acoustic guitar and try and sing - so there's potential for any interested bassists to join me. I've had a fair bit of gigging and recording experience for my age, and know my way around a PA - so gigging flexible in the sense that Pub gigs will surfice, busking is awesome, and if we get the chance stadium tours are possible too.... ha! Let me know what you're thinking! Ben

    Might be worth getting this moved to the effects area of the forum!?

    Active is a hell of a lot better for me. Quite far away too! Thanks anyway! Ben

    Any interest in a trade offer? Ben

    I bought a set of these second hand to replace the standard pickups in my hotrod USA fender pre. Amazing amount of difference in sound - so much more responsive, with a lot more gain. Great buy if these are at a good price. Best of luck with the sale! Ben

    I'm afraid the only cab I've got has the speakers in, and despite my love for money I can't afford to sell them! They're Eminence 200W 8ohms - quite similar to the deltalites infact, but with a (lower - not certain on this) different power rating. Thanks for the bump~!

    [quote name='andyonbass' post='570768' date='Aug 16 2009, 04:30 PM']The Omni 10/10.5 plans have now been replaced by the [url="http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/Jack10.html"]Jack 10[/url] plans. Still a relatively simple build, by all accounts and it must be a great cab for Bill to consider it superior to the Omni. There is also a 12" version.[/quote] I'm supprised that the Omni's have been discontinued... does anybody know the reason?

    +1 for swapping out USA pups.... a bit weak for my liking. I threw a set P/J set of EMG selects, passive, and it did wonders for the bass! These were some pretty seriously cheap pups too!

    [quote name='Paul_C' post='521960' date='Jun 23 2009, 06:46 PM']there are some pics : not a good looking break, no guarantee that just glueing it would be enough to hold it together as there's no big flat surfaces[/quote] Surly the larger the surface area the better the glue with hold.... a flat surface has a smaller surface area than a lumpy one... I've never fixed a broken neck so what would I know!

    Darn, oh well! Good luckwith the sale!

    I've just seen this bass and it just looks so amazing! I probably wouldn't be able to part with my bass, so just to tempt fate would you be interested in a Fender hotrodded (P/J) USA bass. 4 string, through body strung. As I said the chances are I wouldn't trade, but I'm really feeling this bass! Cheers, and sorry for wasting your time! Ben

    And you're only getting 170/180 watts, the speaker is an 8 ohm, so won't draw the full 300 watts specified at 4 ohms. Great little amp, I've had one for 4 years and it's been awesome. For purpose of your sale it might be wise to give an idea of where it was made, and what year. There have a been a few problems in the past with the chinese ones. Price is very much too high unless this is brand brand new, you havn't specified how old, how heavily gigged etc. An idea of condition would be a good thing - some pictures is the best way of doing this. Good luck with the sale, if you have troubles selling it set do what I did: take the head out of the combo and build a case for it, then use a small cab. This would drive a nice little 1/10 cab quite tidily. All the best, Ben

    Might help your saleif you mention if they're active or passive. I'd be very interested if I wasn't so far way!

    I've got a Aria Platinum Drive pedal that I'm not using much at the moment. I'd be up for a trade with some cash your way. I've just put a new valve in it, with only an hour or so's use. This is a really powerful pedal, runs off mains! Let me know if you're interested. Ben

    Playing technique gets in the way.... and it's a load of extra pollishing to do! I hate house work! This could be a good thing - I might just get some to put on my shelf to look nice!
  18. ben_eat_pie
    Very very nice bass... I've got one of these too! Don't think i'll ever get rid of ine - the only difference is that I have a red tort pickguard and some EMG's in mine - Sounds and looks absolutey amazing! Good luck with the sale. Ben

    Where abouts are you from... and could you give us a rough price: being a bassist I'm just the middle man between me and the guitarist! Cheers, Ben
  20. ben_eat_pie
    Just bought a Red Pickguard off Matt, great price and product. He evn posted it in time for a gig! Many thanks Matt. Ben
  21. ben_eat_pie
    Just thought I should ask the previous question for anyone who needs a set! Also, nowhere on the specification did it specify what size speakers these have.... I'm presuming 15" Cheers, P.s just so it's clear, I cannot afford to buy these!
  22. ben_eat_pie
    Do these come with stands? Cheers, Ben
  23. ben_eat_pie
    I'd just like to say thank you for being such a good bloke. Would definately do deals with in the future, Cheers Howard

    Are they 'Humbug'ing pups... Don't worry, I've got my coat on already!
  25. ben_eat_pie
