  2. It is old and mucky and will not win any prizes in a beauty contest. However, it will stop your precious axe from getting knackered when your guitarist's Marshall head falls on it. It has no internal foam at all so you will need to provide that. [attachment=70436:IMG_0898.JPG] [attachment=70435:IMG_0897.jpg]
  3. Just pointing to this where I am selling my Ubass, cos it does the EUB thing, innit. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120863"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120863[/url]
  4. I am selling my Kala ubass. Have I fallen out of love with it? No, it is just that the 5 string bass uke that I commissioned is nearly ready and I need to realise some capital. Having a collection of uke basses seems excessive! These threads will tell you more about it than I can here - vids and all.

  5. Life is too short to play with bad drummers I used to ask how much will I get paid for this now it's who's drumming
  6. This is one of the ones that came up regularly on Ebay about 4 years ago. I bought it on a complete punt and loved it. I then put a pair of EMG 45 TW pickups in it which did not work. By the time I discovered that they did not work it was a bit late because I had routed it for them. I then put a pair of Vilex custom wound big fat P soapbars into it. It now speaks with a voice of authority. The controls are Vol/Vol/Villex mid thing/Tone. The Villex mid thing is this if you are not familiar with it - 'All Villex pickups come with a built in mid-tone circuit and an external pot which allows to gradually change the sound character from vintage to slap. It's like having several pickups instead of one!' It is entirely passive. At the moment it has a Piezo bridge loaded onto it. It is my intention to take it off and load it on to another bass, but if you want it then I will leave it on for another £50. It needs a pre-amp for the piezos. The piezo has a separate jack socket on the side, so there are 2 jacks on it at the moment. I would leave the side jack in, but it would not be connected to anything. I honestly cannot remember what the body is I'm afraid [attachment=70424:IMG_0865.JPG] [attachment=70425:IMG_0866.JPG] [attachment=70426:IMG_0867.JPG] [attachment=70427:IMG_0868.jpg] It is really nice with a B that speaks as easily as the rest of the bass. If it is so good, why am I selling? I have too many basses and I am going to put three or four up. I have more than I need and that is silly.
  7. Now THAT would be irresistible! [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=732771"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=732771[/url]

  9. [quote name='redstriper' post='1102367' date='Jan 25 2011, 05:03 PM']I had the same problem on my Ashbory with it's piezo, but touching the strings didn't help because they are rubber. It was fixed by a friend of mine and he described the modification in a post on the Ashbory forum. I don't know if it's of any help to you, but here's a copy of his post: Hope this helps, I have some pics of his work too, if anyone's interested. Steve.[/quote] YAY for Funky Pete!

    My bass has not even arrived yet, but I am so confident in this bloke that I will say before the event that it was just a top top experience. It has been a delight.
  16. [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='1095826' date='Jan 19 2011, 11:54 PM']Well, I thought I'd take one for the team, somebody had to![/quote] The team salutes you!
  17. This cannot be one of my bands because I am the only bassist, but it looks remarkably familiar. It's a drag. That is why they will be using someone else once the already booked dates are done.
  18. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1100131' date='Jan 23 2011, 09:16 PM']No worries, Owen. According to Eubassix, this is the only bass he's ever done ...[/quote] Phew. Crisis averted. OCD equilibrium restored.
  19. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1100102' date='Jan 23 2011, 08:52 PM']Not my photos: [url="http://tinypic.com/a/2jxip/3"]http://tinypic.com/a/2jxip/3[/url] I don't normally "get" relic-ing, but this one really works.[/quote] Oh GREAT! Yet another relic builder for me to stalk
  20. Bravewood's site says that he is not taking orders at the moment, just building what he fancies and selling as it goes. Maybe an email might tempt him, who knows. Crinson. Who they?
  21. Bump for more stuff I did not realise I had.
  22. Believe it or not there is a queue!
  23. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1098460' date='Jan 22 2011, 10:56 AM']Damn! How embarrassing ... apologies to both Oli and Ben. Still a great bass, though. [/quote] Jack, does that mean that you have too many basses? You seem to be losing track. I will look after the Alleva if you need a de-tox period
