[quote name='elom' post='33868' date='Jul 18 2007, 10:08 PM']No I'm not selling mine already! However the guy that I bought mine from is selling one of his others off. It has a BIN of $800 so it may be gone soon. The seller was incredibly helpful with me when I bought mine, taking loads of extra photos etc, so has earned my recommendation.

yeah, easy enough, we were considering covering it but our guitarist doesn't want to

no suggestions, but i just wanted to say - the mighty boosh

this was an interesting thread until the behringer bashing overwhelmed it

I quite like the body shape (not sure about the practicality of the position of the G string tuner) - but what do I know, I play a Bongo

wow, looking good, how does it sound acoustically?

that's a lovely looking top

[quote name='cetera' post='31378' date='Jul 13 2007, 04:31 PM']Ooooooh! I LIKE that Roscoe.... VERY sexeee [/quote] yeah it's great, fantastic to play and nice sounding as well, in a way it's a shame it's overshadowed by the Bongo, but that's not to say the Roscoe's lacking in anything, it's just that the Bongo is that good.

hi keith you could also try the Hark to Towler in Tottington, nr Bury. not sure of a phone number, but they have a website

[quote name='RichardH' post='30790' date='Jul 12 2007, 04:25 PM']I've just picked up a CS-3 cheap on eBay, and also got hold of the Monte Allums kit. I'll do some recordings of before and after, should it be of interest.[/quote] my guitarist has just bought one on the premise that I'll do the mod for him - at least I'll get to try it out tho

I've got a Marshall Regenerator RG-1, It's certainly not boutique, but it does phaser, step phaser, flanger and chorus. It was £35 second hand. If you can get your hands on one it might help point you in the right direction at a later time. Sounds OK too

it's looking good

can you post a pic of the switch?

[quote name='Gizmo' post='21457' date='Jun 21 2007, 04:39 PM']Hey steve thx for the kind words glad you like the look of the bass & beleive it or not that top was only about $12/£6 infact it cost over twice that to have it shipped from canada to the uk! i think the seller didnt know how good it would look on a bass hehe Here's a daylight shot of the full top before it was hacked up by me (clicky for larger) wiped with white spirit's [url="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1342/570931508_f23da82151_o.jpg"][/url] This is only my 2nd build and im still working out just what the hell im doing so i guess i got a few more builds to get done before i can decide if my basses good enought to sell on hehe All the best Gizmo[/quote] £6? unbelievable! its one of the nicest tops I've seen, give's the impression of folded cloth in places, and the knots are ace If it plays like it looks it's going to be a killer bass, have you decided on the pups and pre yet?

I can vouch for their speedy delivery

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='23535' date='Jun 26 2007, 02:06 PM']i'm invstigating putting a board together as per my other posts re fx order. having looked at the various options, i now think the best way is to make me own and fit a set of split hinges onto a case so i can remove the lid/base (whatever). In terms of routing cables and whatnot, there doesn't seem much point in routing them under the board as they can be neatly routed across the top and velcroed down. What I'd like to know is - what's the best stuff to make the board out of (Ply/MDF/etc) and where's the best place to get ali edges and proper velcro covering - preferably deep pile sort of stuff so you can sink the feet of stuff like wah pedals into it? Anybody had a bash themselves?[/quote] I'm part way through building one myself out of plywood, but I'm building a programmeable 8-way bypass into it. For fixing the pedals I decided to use two of the kits that you can get on ebay. If you're using plywood (lighter and easier to work with than MDF) you can screw the pedals on to the board - better than velcro IMHO - altho a lot of people do prefer velcro For pedals that don't have screws underneath (ie whammy), I've knocked up some 'S' shaped brackets out of aluminium angle and a couple of rivits

that top is absolutely phenominal, if you ever decide to sell it, i'm at the front of the queue (hopefully)

I've been using the Marvel ones for a while now without any problems

[quote name='Musky' post='18765' date='Jun 16 2007, 12:14 PM']They've rejigged the site since I last took a look - there used to be plenty of samples of the pedals, and they all sounded off the wall and pretty unique.[/quote] they've got samples of the pedals [url="http://www.4mspedals.com/index.php"]here[/url], I quite fancy the phaser
