Sold to dangee- a completely hassle free transaction. I would certainly recommend selling/buying from him in the future. Now if only someone would by my Aguilar GS410!

[quote name='bajistaman' post='1223396' date='May 7 2011, 04:45 PM']Tempting..., how much would it cost to deliver to Bham?[/quote] Luckily I might still be in blighty for another year- but I am moving flats in July! As for Bham delivery, I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure. I've used parcelmonkey.com before and they are reasonably cheap. I'd recommend sticking the specs on the aguilar site into the parcelmonkey calculator and seeing what it comes up with. I suspect pickup may be a better idea. I've had it in the tiny boot of a Volvo 480 before now, so it'll go into whatever you're driving.

My two cents- the NS basses are not ideal for arco. Unlike a DB the bowing action is extremely unforgiving, slipping into harmonics is easy, and even with classical strings making music is an unforgiving process. You can make some wonderful sounds but the precision required is tiring. Angling the bow does not produce a piano effect, the bow needs to be horizontal to the strings and full bow at all times to make a half decent sound. It is also imperative that the bow is positioned well along the length of the string, so as your left hand moves up the neck, the bow needs to follow. I found playing standard DBs a hassle in terms of storage and transportation, but for orchestral purposes I really would not look at the NS series. It's definitely more an expensive but wonderful toy, for an arsenal of basses, not as an only bass. I have a CR5 with Thomastiks and I would imagine that the issues I describe above are exaggerated on cheaper models. If you do take the plunge, I certainly recommend changing the strings to DB strings ASAP. Hope this isn't too late to be of use!

[quote name='anthomp' post='681592' date='Dec 11 2009, 06:35 PM']i have one dont think i have ever had it set up quite right yet but..,. i can feel the freedom that it gives you already (especially wireless) i need to spend more time withy my NS CRT4 i will sometime.. antony[/quote] I had a lot of fun with my steinberger strap, it definitely makes you look a bit of a plonker if you use it in a hardcore band.... like a Fieldy on steroids. Plenty of scope for comic extreme-metal horizontal EUB playing.

Discount Offer: Epifani 502 + Aguilar GS410
chrispiano replied to chrispiano's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
[quote name='chrispiano' post='1018852' date='Nov 10 2010, 03:01 PM']Hi all, An offer that I have made to a couple of BCers interested in my Epifani, or the GS410 but looking for a discount from the £770 + £500 or nearest offer price tag is: Both for £1000, based in Bloomsbury (London)- near King's Cross and St Pancras. This represents roughly 50% the new market value and the combination of the two was a result of spending an entire day in the Bass Gallery testing different cabs with the 502 head. I found that the hi-fi sound in the Epifani produced a lot of high-mids and therefore what most players would define as a 'modern' sound. A sound that, I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of. However, when I put the head together with the GS410 all of the boomy fundaments returned and the overall tone was more natural. I would definitely recommend buying these as a twosome. On one level because it saves me the hassle of separate transactions, but mainly because it works really really well. All the perks of a responsive, two channel, modern head combined with the fullness and handling of a touring powerhouse. Chris[/quote] For each item separately, see my other listings. -
