Well, after having the bits kick around for the best part of year, I've got back onto this. [quote]Alternatively, I could just bottle it and go for a block colour. Like the idea of a black with either a black or dark tort scratchplate. But I know I'll then kick myself for not having the sparkle done.[/quote] I've reassessed the "sparkle" thing and did indeed "bottle it". I'm now painting it white and it'll be finished with a tort scratchplate. Finally started the paining. Had a rush of blood and got my rattle cans from Halfords earlier. Roughly prep sanded the body and on went the primer. Then I realised I'd not prepped it as much as I should. Funny how you always realise that once there's a few coats on eh? Oh, well, plenty of time to fix that once the primer is dry and I can wet-and-dry it before the colour coats. [attachment=83004:photo_9.JPG] [attachment=83006:photo_11.JPG] Already been thinking about hardware and pickups. Think I'm going down the EMG route as I've got them in virtually everything else I have and actually like them. I'll get myself an EMG P and then run it at 18v (like my Lakland is). There's loads of room in the cavity for the two batteries (see below). [attachment=83005:photo_13.JPG] Need to get tuners, then the bridge. Gotoh make some nice high mass bridges as well as tuners. As I've got a Hipshot D-Tuner than I had installed on my old MM Sterling and G&L, will use MM style tuners. I'm really not bothered about the "it's a fender so must have fender-style tuners" thing. Will crack on tomorrow once the primer is dry. Tony

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1269282' date='Jun 14 2011, 09:51 PM']Now to find a 4OHM cab I'll be f***ed if I'm taking 2 cabs to a gig.[/quote] I had a Pro II for a few years and it was awesome. +1 to making sure you look after it and bias it properly though. From what I can remember, there's a couple of adjusting screw/pots round the back with 2 little pairs of lights (one red/one green) to help set the bias. If you're looking at a single cab, SERIOUSLY consider the Ampeg 410HLF. Massive sound from a single 4 Ohm cab. Great bottom end but real grunt and THE Ampeg tone. Not exactly a small 410 but not exactly a small sound either and TBH, you don't notice the weight/size as it's really portable with the wheels and handles. There's been a couple for sale recently for much cheapness! HTH Tony

[quote name='bajistaman' post='1263219' date='Jun 9 2011, 08:32 PM']Hi Tony, looking to complete the TC rig?[/quote] It's all your fault Johann! You've started me on an expensive and all consuming road to ultimate GAS!

Hi All, [b]ALL SOLD[/b] Following the purchase of a TC Electronic rig, now up for sale is my EBS rig consisting of a HD-350 head, a Proline 410 cab and a Proline 115 cab. All in excellent condition, well cared for and loved. I've adored using this rig over the past four or so years but now's time for a change and an increase in gigs and a recurrent knee problem is forcing me to downsize. Tonally, it's loud, clear, crisp, punchy and transparent but capable of real crunch and warmth due to the fantastic drive channel. It's never failed to make me smile when I've played the first few notes at sound checks. Just a truly fabulous rig and easily the best kit I've ever owned. It's loud and articulate and I've NEVER struggled with being heard. The 350w is somewhat conservative. And some. I'd ideally prefer collection because of the weight and size but maybe flexible with meeting somewhere mutually convenient for a contribution to travel costs. Looking at a straight sale on the items individually or as a whole because, to be honest, there's not a lot I'm needing for trade wise. However, if you've a nice RoadWorn (plus cash) or 70's Precision, I could be interested. Specs and prices as follows (As always, if I am way off, please PM me with your advice): [u][b]EBS HD-350 Head - SOLD!!![/b][/u] I can supply the head in an SKB ABS 4U case.

Is the RS212 still for sale? PM'd Cheers Tony

I've brought Johann's TC Electronic Classic 450 and his RS210. Johann is a top fella, the comms were exceptional and he was extremely flexible. He's a welcoming host and has some exceptional gear. Thoroughly recommended. Thanks once again for the gear and the chat mate.

[quote name='deepbass5' post='1261926' date='Jun 8 2011, 09:40 PM']Make a Trolley board Best thing i ever did about 10 years ago. A good bit of 3/4" ply you can buy good wheels from the larger BQ stores that take the coach bolts. Larger Dia wheels the better for rough ground This has not only saved my back but also doubles as a cab platform during the gig. I now get a consistant sound wherever i am, solved all the coupling issues and hotel carpets that suck your sound away. Thats the main advantage, under your stack whilst playing, I also carry another truck with fold down handle, them blue grey pressed steel things from Makro for heavier amps n things. [/quote] +1 Made mine the same with a bit of 2ft x 2ft ply, some castors from B&Q and some coach bolts. Used by the band to wheel just about everything from car to room. Makes a tip top skateboard too!

Hi All, For sale is my East J Retro 01 pre-amp. Fantastic preamp and came fitted in my Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn DPLE. Sounded the mutt's nuts but I swapped it out when installing EMG's because I'm so used to a simple Vol-Vol-Tone layout and running the EMG's at 18v meant no room in the cavity. It's been safely stored since and I'm unlikely to refit it so I'd rather someone make use of it. Being a 2007 manufactured J Retro, the connectors are the soldered type. It's a chrome model, with black lower portions and chrome upper portions of the dual concentric knobs. The preamp is in really good condition. The only minor points are a re-jointed, re-soldered and insulated red power wire (where I joined the EMG's temporarily) and a few minor fine surface scratches on the chrome plate but barely viewable once you have fingerprints all over it!! Looking for £130 inc postage. All the best Tony [attachment=81953:photo_1.JPG] [attachment=81954:photo_4.JPG] [attachment=81955:photo_5.JPG] [attachment=81956:photo_6.JPG]

[quote name='JTUK' post='1254717' date='Jun 2 2011, 10:22 PM']Could be very confusing to have too many options.... I have East pre's which can accomodate pickups switching and active or passive...plus mid sweep and TnB cut and boost..that is enough and pretty confusing in the early days until you get a default return set-up. Although some basses with all these options sound a good idea in demo, in practice, they are too much, IMO....and becomes an unconvincing jack of all trades but a master of none.[/quote] Funny what you say about the East preamp. I've taken the J-Retro off my Lakland JO and it's now sporting a pair of EMG's with vol/vol/tone at 18v. Sounds great. The J-Retro did too. Don't get me wrong. A great preamp. But for me, there was too much choice. On a couple of gigs, found myself thinking "aggggghhhhh, where's what and how and erm.....". I know it's "me" rather than the "pre"! T
