  2. [quote name='Exile252' post='101551' date='Dec 9 2007, 12:14 AM']Wow.... You have a 'cello? And its old, very very old....[/quote] In the grand scheme of things, 140 years old is not "very old" for a classical instrument!
  3. I'm in Bangor, North Wales. Will put pics up much later this evening. Sorry, it is a busy day and if I announced that I was going to disappear for half an hour to take some pictures bad things would happen to me,
  4. I do realise that this is not strictly speaking a Bass - more a sort of tenor. Probably no one up for it either, but - hey - you never know. 1880 (ish) German 'cello. Valued at £4K but had a neck repair that has been ROCK solid in the 25 years (gulp) I've owned it. Probably looking for £2.6K. It has a hard case and bow. New bridge/strings very recently. I can take pics if anyone fancies a closer look, but realise that this is a bit of a niche sale. I would also entertain trades (+ £ from you) for a recent spec Mac laptop.
  5. [quote name='phatmonkey' post='99746' date='Dec 5 2007, 05:46 PM']Oh snap, missed it. Let me know if the sale doesn't go through![/quote] You could have my Logic Express 7 for £50!
  6. I like the look of your avatar! [quote name='TimmyC' post='98993' date='Dec 4 2007, 05:21 PM']Sweet, I like the look of these.[/quote]
  7. I will take whatever is left. Particularly interested in the TI flats
  8. I need another bass like I need a hole in the head. But if I was looking then this would be high on the list. It is SO fine!
  9. Thank you very much for that and the sound samples. It really makes a difference when you can actually hear these things.

    Gig Bags

    I use a Wood and Tronics one. Very nice. In my experience (x 2 of them) Tribal Planet bags are fantastic. Tribal planet zips are rubbish.

    I'd thought of using one of these, but I have found the answer with the old tempo thing and tapping and all that malarkey. I am doing a gig with a keyboardist and with a laptop who is running Ableton so he will be opening all sorts of effects on my behalf and then I just play them.
  12. [quote name='bass_ferret' post='86498' date='Nov 10 2007, 03:37 PM']Im sure someone else had the same problem with the same Gotoh bridge. Gotoh themselves were as much use as a a chocolate teapot iirc. Try a search - bit of a long shot I know. Sometimes searches work better on google.[/quote] That was me. It is no longer made. I looked and looked and looked. Eventually I bought a Badass V (£30 from Ebay.com) because it was the only thing I could find that would cover the real estate of the Gotoh. The good news for you is that I now have a Gotoh bridge with 3 working saddles on it so should be able to sort you out for nowt it you still need help. Let me know.
  13. I will probably have a word with Mr East, but I'm looking for the Fishman because this one actually does what it says on the tin and I figured if it works, don't fix it.
  14. I recently bought a Bolin NS. I LOVE the piezo pick up. It has a Fishman internal pre that Fishman will only sell me if I am a bass manufacturer. The Bolin is very nice indeed, but not nice enough to sell 2 other basses to pay for it so it is going ( [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7971"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7971[/url] ), however I want to install a piezo system in another bass. Does anyone have a lead on where I might find a Fishman pre like the Bolin one (5 individual trim pots on a board.) I used to have a Bongo with Piezos. It was underwhelming, but the Bolin Piezo sound is outstanding. TIA If you see this on different bass boards, forgive me but I'm casting my net as widely as poss.
  15. Here are some pictures! [attachment=3356:Bolin003.jpg] [attachment=3357:Bolin007.jpg]
  16. I bought this on a whim from Warwickhunt a couple of weeks ago. It is, following the old "only so many basses you can own" rule on it's way out again. There is nothing wrong with it. I like it a lot, but not enough to sell a couple of other basses to pay for it. The piezo pick up is frankly fabulous, nice an full, but without the thud of a magnetic pick up. The magnetic pick up does that for it Here is the original thread with pics and everything [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6704"]<a href="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6704" target="_blank">http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6704[/url]</a> £740 + carriage. Want it? You know you do.
  17. [quote name='Toasted' post='83341' date='Nov 3 2007, 11:18 PM']I can categorically state that this is in direct response to my visit to the Bass Direct stand at the NEC today. I think an NV610 will match my Aguilar DB750 fantastically well. I don't think that the Berg cabs are better than the Epifani cabs, and I think the UL310 is a masteripiece of cab design; but I'm a young guy in a very very noisy band and there's only so long I'll be able/interested in carting a 100lb 610 around for - so now is the time to make the change. Feel free to give in any time Dave [/quote] I too am feeling the pull of the 610
  18. I have no interest in this sale. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7564"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7564[/url]
  19. [quote name='sshorepunk' post='80419' date='Oct 28 2007, 02:59 PM']Hi I've got a hectic day today and a guy is interested in buying my Stingray, he's in Portugal, so based on the experience of you guys and to save me some search time, who's the best to get a shipping quote from? Cheers Tony[/quote] Interparcel.com have worked well for me. I think it was for the Czech republic. I think I have too much coming and going in my life.
  20. Bitter experience lets me tell you to hold the cool end. HTH.

  22. Just fabulous. John sold me a Bolin NS 5. He experienced instant regret but went through with it anyway.
