bUmp back to the top

Male 28 rock/metal player, I play 4 string basses slung low at the mo, but have dabbled in 5 and 6 string basses. I'm not in a band at the mo but recording some tunes with the aim of getting a band together and get some gigs in, I can play both fingerstyle and with a pick to the same degree but I prefer the tone I get from using a pick. I love playing riffs and doing melodic fills although the song comes first and foremost I only show some skills when there is space. Slap and tapping need work on as I'm cack at both

I find that the more i drink the worse i play generaly but its not always the case. There have been a few gigs when me and the guitarist in my old band had a few to many and played out of our skins , there have been more than a few however where i've been a bit of a shambles at times due to too many beers

By the way I'm pretty sure both those valves are NOS 5751 not 12AX7 or 12AT7. Good valves though, specially selected by Jack Read, designer of the legendary (and very rare) Read Custom preamp. The original valve is a generic 12AX7.

P.S. The VBA400 should rock![/quote]

Cheers Alex the VBA400 certainly does rock, although its not mine yet for a few wks
I'm in no great hurry to sell this but i'll ebay it start of nxt wk if no takers on here as I cant justify having two amps (although i have to tell the voices i dont need to run a stereo set up ) Someone please grab a bargain

Pablo, Mr (formerly pablocien)

28 years old Scotsman

Been playing bass for 4 years after a 6 year break, incurable GAS but fortunately (or not) no funds to cure it, once regular gigger now reduced to travelling back and forth to London to record with fellow like minded individual. Most likely to be spotted frequenting many bars off different class in the search of the perfect pint. . . . . .

[b]BUMP[/b] for new price

I'm pretty sure you can get spares from [url="http://www.rosetti.co.uk/"]http://www.rosetti.co.uk/[/url]

they are the epiphone and gibson distributers. mite be worth a look?

Hey folks, I'm doing a wee bit of rig re-juggling as I have just been offered a marshall vba400 for peanuts and its too good an offer to refuse so last in first out means my SWR grand prix pre amp is for sale.

I just bought this the other month from our own Alexclaber who had it for a bit. Its in perfect working condition and pretty much perfect cosmetic condition with only a couple of small scratches on the top (it has been in a rack as long as alex had it and never been out my house since i got it) and I have the manual too, the valve has been changed to a nos jan 12at7wc but i'll include the original and a mullard 12ax7 as well.
Here's Alex's sales pitch

[quote name='Wil' post='36438' date='Jul 24 2007, 04:20 PM']That's me! I bought it off Shockwave, who bought it off Lorne. It's for sale actually, £350 anyone?

[/quote]

Doh! seing this again has given me serious GAS now if only i had a spare £350 i'd have it

both, but mainly i use a pick

orion by metallica i think though i've not listened to it for ages. . .

PM'd regarding the extension cab

any chance of some pics of the custom big muff type pedal and the rust ride? could be interested in one/both dependant on funds coming in in the nxt few days.....

[quote name='alexclaber' post='29727' date='Jul 10 2007, 01:13 PM']Come to think of it, do Avalon, QSC and Acme endorse anyone? Bootsy got there first to my preferred strings and I only change them annually at most.[/quote]
none to my knowlage, mite be worth a shout

Brilliant!

this doesnt look too badly spec'd for the cash

[quote name='Rayman' post='24415' date='Jun 28 2007, 01:43 PM']That's wicked, by far the best colour for those. The switches scare me off though, what do they all do?[/quote]

agreed on both counts Russ, would look better with a black scratchplate though

[quote name='alexclaber' post='26262' date='Jul 2 2007, 10:22 PM']Get this!

£375 and you're sorted. Just use the combo most of the time - take the extension cab for louder gigs.

+1 looks a bit of a bargain if you ask me

I use EB power slinkys never had any probs with them, they stay brighter a little longer than roto's or ghs boomers that i used to use. not knocking those strings though i'd buy em in a second if i couldnt get my power slinkys

I think it looks pretty sweet! what's the power handling of the 4x10 ARGH? I'm in the process of setting up a new rig and was looking at the tech21 cabs amongst others.

chavtastic but in a gd way if thats possible
