  1. Right, Slim Face! One of my uncles who was selling second hand cars sometimes at delirious prices always told when I said he won't sell it because it was too high : "There's an idiot waking up every day, all you have to do is just wait". And you know what, he was right, just f*cking right !
  2. Traded my LeFay Herr Schwarz 5 for Victor Stradi Symphony 5 Fretless. We met half way in Brussels, had some pleasant talk and went home on our opposite sides. You can deal in total confidence with Victor, he is a trustful person and very communicative. It was a pleasure to meet him in the flesh and have a cappuccino while talking. ;-) And the Stradi is just awesome ! Hope to deal with him again.
  3. If you find this behaviour a crook act, what about anything you buy each day, like that gasoline you bought for say £100 GBP when the real factory cost all included is £1 GBP... That's called in marketing language : (huge) profit and that's the world we live in. The only illegal thing in what you describe is the use of pictures and text without permission, that's all. The rest is simply a guy who have seen a good opportunity to make some quick and easy money. Don't tell me you never done this as we are all chasing the good deal !
  4. Time to clear some stuff. EBS pedal board (see content below) almost new, so get ready to make some ... effect.
  5. Still available? When yes, some pictures might help...
  6. You would be very disappointed by the UniPre, the SPM02-3B is way far uncompressed and much more user friendly. Try the Mike Pope Flexcore : this is the more transparent and non compressing preamp ever, but the cost is, say, prohibitive. Coming back to your Ibanez SRSC805 it's a neck through single cut construction, so with more attack, harmonics, highs and preciser basses by definition. Maybe it's simply the wrong bass for your ears... That happens sometimes.
  7. My jazz guitar (as a Wes Montgomery fan, I own one Ibanez Jazz Idontknowwhatmodelitis that I hardly play) has the same principle for the volume and tone of the Benedetto floating pickup and it's not THAT easy to use at all...
  8. That won't be serious as i have no use for it... For now.
  9. You've got bollocks Russ, for sure, but for how long ?
  10. It's indeed an old LeFay Pangton headless. The growl is mainly due to the padauk neck. I had a few basses with padauk necks (Leduc Maurad 4, Leduc Pad 5, Leduc Pad Rock 5, another Leduc Maurad 4 and a LeFay Herr Schwarz 5 that I still own). Add also the extraordinary ergonomics of the LeFay basses and their own pickups branded Rough Crystal and you'll be growling forever... Mine is an early one totally passive with 28 different pickups combinations in single, parallel and series modes (very clever design) and two tones with two different capacitors usable simultaneously... See pictures below. The rest by PM.
  11. And did you find one? The entire preamp must still be somewhere in the house as I removed it to have a "playable" bass....
  12. Just like George, the older brother who passed away last month. You certainly remember "Friday on my Mind" by the Easybeats and maybe Flash and the Pan with this fantastic album named "Lights in the Night"... That was George with Harry Vanda.
  13. It's THE feature of every Anthony Jackson model.
  14. Kalium sells F# strings by unity, but it will be a bit hard to find. That said I play 6 strings basses mainly because you don't have to move your left hand to play 80% of the stuff. I guess that with a 7 seven strings you go to 100% like dood said. Kalium have two types of strings : http://store.kaliumstrings.com/index.php/electric-bass-guitar/shop-by-material/hybrid-bass-guitar/single-strings.html?limit=all http://store.kaliumstrings.com/index.php/electric-bass-guitar/shop-by-material/steel-bass-strings/single-strings.html
  15. I always thought that Mark King was blond. Must be because of the black and white picture, I guess ?
