    I wish I could think of something, but I cannot, and I have spent a solid hour thinking about it 2x15 active wedge with 2 x 19" rack spaces?
  2. Owen
    You just never know.

    I will have them. I will never watch the Rush one because I would rather pull my own teeth out with pliers (I hear they talk highly of my stuff as well), so if someone else want it, give me a nod. If you ripped your others before donating, how did you do it? I would love to rip mine but have never found an easy way.

    I am not expecting this to run out of the door, but when the right person hears it calling then all shall be well bump.

    [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1429190736' post='2749011'] My ACS customs should hopefully be here in the next week or so. Big lump of cash to throw out but then again, you only get one set of ears. Liam [/quote] You only get one set of ears. I cannot now play without earplugs in due to damage. I cannot hear detail in what others are doing. Playing is not as much fun as it was. Everyone sort out hearing protection. Do it today.

    Light, lovely asymetric neck, solid B and fabulous colour. There is nothing not to like about this bass. I already own one so I do not need another, but if I did not I would be all over this.

    I have worked out what was wrong with the lefty Tele I bought for a friend. The octave dots are on the 13th fret

    You all probably know this, but the iRig blue thing foot pedal is not compatible with iPad2. How I laughed.

    If anyone sees a Uke bass on there then I will happily pay you £10 to buy it for me if I miss it. Ta

    Just to add 2p worth. I have found piezos very disappointing on fretted basses until I got hold of a Bolin NS bass. The sound was everything I had always hoped for and more. It was a Fishman system (pickup and preamp) which sadly Fishman only sold OEM. I am not sure what the processing in the preamp was as far as fixed High Pass Filtering was, I presume it was in there. The real joy about it was how it fitted in with acoustic instruments in a way that Magnetic pickups (for me, YMMV) never have. I have a set of Graphtec saddles to go onto a bridge soon and am just getting my head around the preamp situation. What was nice about the Fishman/Bolin thing was that each string had an adjustable vol on trim pots inside. EMG used to make such a beast but I cannot find it anymore. I have looked at the East stuff and I guess that is the way I will go. I understand that the OP is going fretless, but I thought I would chime in about fretted not being all bad given the correct set up and how it works superbly with acoustic instruments.

    This is a lot of rig for the money. The SRM350 cabs make a great small cab on their own for rehearsals or gigs with no drummer. I was going to write "with a sensitive drummer" but then realised how ridiculous that sounded.

    MrsFRC has pm'd me again and she said that she wants to have both. She knows how important tone is to you. The tiles are great but when we moved in they were covered in self levelling cement. Getting that off was fun.
  17. Owen
    Your wife has pm'd me and she is cool about you changing kit again.

    [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1428190394' post='2739053'] Being ignorant, some snaps might help me. [/quote] D'OH! It is not as if this is my first time selling anything either.

    You could always sell the Walkabout

    [quote name='scojack' timestamp='1428171100' post='2738808'] Thanks Cloud. ..'ere why don't you give it a go? [/quote] Yep, it looks so easy.

    I have wobbled about selling this before but eventually decided not to. However, my ears are shot (wear earplugs everyone!) and I can no longer play in situations where I can use the kind of grunt this cab does. It is active in that is has a 1000 watt amp on board which is tailored specifically for the cab and drivers (3 x 10" drivers + a really nice compression horn for the sparkly bits). All you need is a pre-amp. It is full of beefy and rich and full and balanced and lush and roar and smooth and punchy and phat and lots of other adjectives. Carriage is an option but will be on top of a price which is set to sell it. If it does not sell then I can happily still use it so do not worry for me

    [quote name='Owencf' timestamp='1423679331' post='2687893'] i patched my blisters up with a dab of superglue once its broken to hold the skin together a bitty longer to allow the meat under to toughen a little. [/quote] Superglue before the event. As soon as you get to the stage of thinking "hmmm...I might blister up here" then put a layer of glue on. It holds everything together. I have not blistered for years and in no way keep my right hand match fit because my gigging is MUCH more infrequent these days.

    [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1427739348' post='2733719'] Thanks Owen. What do you think of the acoustic sound of the classical? Both in terms of loudness and sound quality. [/quote] Acoustically it is similar to a standard electric being played acoustically. Not very beefy. But it is an exceptionally nice instrument. Did I actually need it? No.
  24. Owen
    My thin bodied Electro classical thing has arrived. Struggling to find anything wrong with it. Just for reference, my 5 string acoustic bass had a body the size of a small planet and the neck was placed in a way which meant the nut was pretty far away.
  25. Owen
    I cannot think of any other way to say this and I am aware that it could be misconstrued, but you know what I mean. Your body shape is very graceful.
