  1. It's a bass made by a company called Bolin. They are a high end US custom maker who bought out a line of production models and then stopped. Fishman have told me that this kit is only available to OEM manufacturers so I am guessing that my search is futile. It is the only piezo system I have tried that has worked for me. I'm sure that there is other stuff out there, but without direct experience of it I would be reticent to drop the £ on them. [quote name='icastle' post='1019624' date='Nov 11 2010, 03:52 AM']Can't find any trace of a product from that description - what bass is the one you have in? Ian[/quote]
  2. Buying and selling 2nd here is more or less cost neutral. Taking a loss of £20 or £30 is certainly cheaper than a day trip to London or wherever both in time and money. There is also the thrill of the chase
  3. [quote name='icastle' post='1018754' date='Nov 10 2010, 01:40 PM']Can't find anything like that I'm afraid I presume it's on an acoustic or DB?[/quote] No it is in a Bass Guitar with a piezo bridge. It is an internal pre-amp.
  4. "3/21/01vk", "piezotrim", "fishman" and "rev 2.1" They are the only identifying features.
  5. [quote name='icastle' post='1018064' date='Nov 9 2010, 08:12 PM']I've seen a pile of Fishman kit somewhere on my travels - which model number is it you are trying to find?[/quote] I will open it up and have a look
  6. [quote name='steve-soar' post='1018091' date='Nov 9 2010, 08:42 PM']Owen, shut up please, you're not making this easy for me.[/quote] DO IT STEVE! Take a hit for team.
  7. I have one in a bass and REALLY like it. I want to put one in another bass but they only sell them to manufacturers. Does anyone know where I might get hold of one? I have also posted in items wanted, but I think I might have to buy through a builder.
  8. Please will someone buy this. No interest in a swap for a Warwick 6x10? No, I thought not.

    [quote name='casapete' post='929549' date='Aug 19 2010, 10:11 AM']Owen posted me some MM bridge screws FOR FREE!!! (And he chucked in the allen key and some EB wipes too) What a top bloke. Good to know that this is still the place to meet decent people who help each other out etc. Restores my faith in human nature it does... Many thanks Owen, ATB Pete.[/quote] I had no idea that the wipes were in there, this paints a false picture of me. I'm not that good.
  10. Soundcraft Spirit Folio SX. stereo sub group 3 way EQ - sweepable mid 3 Aux sends Direct out on first 8 mic channels. This a lot of desk for the money but has been sitting idle for 8 years so could probably do with a clean. If you have the time and the servisol it is bargainous. The end cheeks have been taken off and lost. There are holes at the top which need filling or taping over - see first pic. Both sides the same. There are similar holes at the bottom which have been gaffa'd over. £80 + carriage (£10?)

  11. [quote name='chrisd24' post='1015607' date='Nov 7 2010, 07:48 PM']Neither body is loaded and the neck I already have to put on it is a jap fender one. Both are immaculate and the same price.[/quote] Whichever is the nicest colour then
  12. I guess it depends on the pickups/pre-amp or not. Are you thinking of putting an Allparts together or is it one someone has built?
  13. I'll take it. PM
  14. [quote name='7string' post='1010235' date='Nov 3 2010, 12:15 AM']Cocobolo's not my favourite wood (personal thing!!!), but I love the shape of the instrument. [/quote] He will be building 2 of them and using another wood for the 2nd, so you will see it in something else as well
  15. I went to see Pete last week to look at some cocobolo he had sourced. He has sourced some nice bookmatched pieces [attachment=62923:Cocobolo.jpg] The picture is a bit blanched, but the ends are more representative of colour.. I have also changed the headstock shape to more of a LP shape because the body is LP-esque. Here is a pic of someone else's smaller instrument just for proportion. [attachment=62924:IMG_0744.jpg] Finally here is some cocobolo he will use for headstock facing [attachment=62925:IMG_0742.jpg] It's all coming along nicely

  17. [quote name='Bassulike66' post='1007104' date='Oct 31 2010, 10:43 AM']C300 now sold...[/quote] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. Of course, the question is, who on here will do it for me (for £ obv)?
  19. I am totally having one of those.
  20. I use one of these (i think a bit bigger) to carry my NS5 around when I need a proper flightcase. I cannot imagine using a metal flightcase. These are as good as it gets and very light considering the level of protection it gives. Easily as good as a full ATA flightcase - with the added benefit of wheels.
  21. I am not in the market for this (I have managed to persuade myself) but if someone wants it couriered then if they already have a hard case lying around they could courier that to benebass using parcel2go for not much money and have it sent back in that rather than shelling out for a new case. Just a thought.
