    [quote name='AndroWal' post='372700' date='Jan 7 2009, 06:26 AM']Thank you! Wals have been my main basses, and mostly the fretless Mark II, since 1991. Currently I'm using the Mark IIIs more as they are lighter and easier to handle for longer periods.[/quote] Hiya If you want to trade, I could offer you my sixstring Mach III fretless in exchange for your fivestring Mach II. Let me know if you´re interested. I think I posted pictures of mine earlier in this thread. cheers Jens

    At home I practice with a SWR Baby Blue into a pair of JBL Control1. There´s barely any lowend coming out of these speakers but mids and highend are great, very controlled and audible when playing with CD or Computer. Less lowend means less trouble with neighbours. Anyway, I´m out of the age to practice loud (but in case I need to I still have my big studiomonitors with 4x15" :-) Small practice amps never did it for me. They always sounded too midrangy, muddy, cheap..... So I can second stingrayfan´s opinion. A little mixer and studiomonitors will do it plus you get a bunch of cool features with a mixer.

    Yes, it´s a Schaller 3D bridge. I don´t know which electronic is inside. Controls are Volume, bass, treble as you might have expected. It has no bypass, btw. If anybody is seriously interested in this bass I could have a look inside to find out what brand the electronics are.

    I have a sunburst JV Series Squier Precision for sale or for trade. What seriously interests me to trade with are Sandberg California PJ or PM 5string, Fender Roscoe Beck V, Gibson Thunderbird or WAL basses. Feel free to make an offer. For the records I have to mention that I´m located in Germany. This would make shipping a little expensive. What I could offer is to give my instruments to a friend who is frequently in London. He´s bassplayer, too, and he could take care of the deal on your island so that there´s no risk for both of us. thanks! Jens Edit: the Spector mentioned later in the thread is already sold

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='343607' date='Dec 2 2008, 11:25 PM']That's a hell of a list, Jens! Shame the £ / € is so disastrous at the moment - I'm looking for a Shure Beta 52 at the moment but €130 is almost as much as a new one in the UK. Good luck with your sales.[/quote] Thanks, mate This gear served me very well over the last years. Unfortunately I have to downscale because I´m about to buy a house for my family. The upcoming bills are making me a little nervous so I try to get a small polster (sp?) before I get enslaved by my bank. Don´t remind me how much I paid for the Beta52 and how much I get now. It´s even worse with the other stuff. A lot of my gear has been bought new so guess how I´m feeling about todays used gear prices. Though a lot of people laugh about this old gear (they don´t know better) you can make records with it. Well, I did. A 1980 Mercedes cabriolet is still a Mercedes in 2008. It needs more TLC but you still can have fun with it. (advertisement mode off) cheers Jens

    edited again btw, I have a friend who is touring in UK frequently. He could pick up the gear at my place and bring it to UK in his tourvan. Probably the most safe option to ship.

    [quote name='stacedabass' post='309887' date='Oct 19 2008, 03:24 PM']Bootsy Da Man!![/quote] I remember that a friend told me about this show. He worked for the PA company over there. They were getting a little nervous when they saw all those basscabs rolling in. Bass must have been pretty loud on stage....not the worst thing, though

    I did D&B stuff in the 90s using Boss OC2, DOD envelope filter, Ibanez TS9 ( for whacky bassless distortion sent to OC2), TC Chorus/Flanger pedal, TC 2290, Lexicon Jamman

    A lot of transistorized instrumental amplifiers suffered from poor electronic parts or poor electromic design. But this gave them a distinct sound. So if you want to sound like 70s get some of this equipment. Acoustic or Kustom comes to my mind. ... If I transfer this expierience to 2000 gear I´m asking me what will people in 2020 think about nowadays??? ("I need to get the bass-pod MKI first series with# below 666 for the sickest XXX-sound. That´s real vintage, hehehe!"). Maybe, who knows what time will bring.

    nice shoes, I got the same
  17. jensenmann
    Well, Alex, my facts were correct, at least until times when I stopped caring for the latest speakers in the nineties. The scene of instrumental speakers that times was getting empty compared to PA speakers which simply didn´t do their job for instruments well. So probably you´re right when it comes down to ultra modern speakers - I stand corrected. Anyway, I still have to hear the modern 15" cab which does the same that these old JBL speakers do to me.
  18. jensenmann
    You should try a 2x15" with JBL D140 or K140 speakers as used in the ole Fender cabs. Forget about all new 15" speakers in conjunction with tubeamps. Old speakers were made to have high efficiency which was paid by lack of lowend. Todays 15" speakers are tailored to more lowend which give them less efficiency. Old speakers had worse material for the cones so they generated a lot of presence because paper at these times could not damp membrane resonance very well.. Modern speakers have highly damping cone material which doesn´t generate that much presence and hence sounds boring or indirect. hope my humble english is understandable
  19. jensenmann
    Ampeg B15 or Echolette BN40 tubeamps with 30-40W were the smallest thing I giged with. Usually I prefer 10x the power of these old suckers. But for small pubs I still love my B15
  20. jensenmann
    For sale is an Acoustic 470 bassamp. If you´re looking for the ultimate 70s sound: here it is. Don´t ask me how much I want, I have no clue what it´s worth. Just make an offer. But remember that I´m located in Germany. Shipping costs ( between 32€ and 42€) will be added on top. cheers Jens

    [quote name='Alun' post='292141' date='Sep 25 2008, 08:01 PM']I've just posted a clip on YouTube from last Sunday's [url="http://www.panicroom.org.uk"]Panic Room[/url] gig at the Point in Cardiff. Our guitarist strained a muscle in his fretting hand mid-gig so this was my attempt at covering the guitar solo sized gap in one of the songs [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igDigx5J_e0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igDigx5J_e0[/url] Cheers Alun[/quote] very tasty solo, mate. You found all the goodsounding notes.
  22. jensenmann
    Is your ESP from end 80s or beginning 90s? 400 Series? I once played one from that (cheapo) series and holy Moly was totally blown away. Very nice tone. Unfortunately I was broke that time and had to let it pass by
  23. jensenmann
    sh*t, don´t remember me. I owned one longtime ago. It was metallic green - factory custom colour. Then there was my bank and a bunch of gigs that were canceld....something had to go. I was so sad. Never have I seen something like this again. It gives me heartache upto now.
  24. jensenmann
    Forget about transistor amps with the SVT8x10". The only transistor amps which I found to work with my 8x10 cab were SWR Baby Blue (yes) or SWR SM400s. Everything else I tried sounded just plain wrong. Tubes are the deal. Check if you find an old SVT or get the SVT classic. Boogie 400 sounds nice, too, a little cleaner as the tube ampegs. If you want it to sound harder and more agressive than the usual creamy-mid Ampegsound then go for an old Hiwatt Custom 100. Then there was a 150W tube Marshall basshead a long time ago which sounded not bad, but it´s supposed to be an maintenance nightmare. That´s why I never bought one though it sounded cool. A comination a friend swears on is the Fender Bassman 135 + SVT8x10.

    I just got a reply from Paul. Spareparts are available. THIS MADE MY DAY
