  1. sounds like she is a bit of a nightmare and needs careful management. you want to keep her happy but not pander to her every whim. SO by all means agree to turn it down or use headphones this week but let her know you are helping her out and that you would like her to return the courtesy by not having shouting matches late at night while your toddler is sleeping. Give them an inch and they take a mile so make sure you get an inch back every now and then
  2. If you look at the pic on the greeting card it has a similar layout to the ebay one. the break angle to the G doesnt look quite as severe. Can you see what I mean about the head looks transplanted? See the mess just after the nut and also the trussrod looks about 2" too long for the neck!
  3. but which model is it? googling "Hohner B425" shows bugger all results...
  4. how did you find out it was this model? I looked through loads of images of the model shown in the original ebay listing with no joy...
  5. you're right. its bugging me too. looking closely at the headstock from front on it looks like it has been transplanted from another bass. none of the tuning pegs are properly in line(look at them compared to the protruding truss rod). Either its a transplanted head from another bass and the decals transferred, or the neck was broken, made shorter, then the headstock glued back on resulting in the protruding truss rod. either way, I wouldnt touch this. also, all the Hohner Arbor MX1s I can see are P pup at the neck and no fron electronics cavity cover. this probably explains the odd looking MM style pickguard too.
  6. Seems very cheap for such a stunning high-end Spector? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stuart-Spector-USA-Bass-NS-JH5-Spalted-Maple-5-String/173029338650?_trkparms=aid%3D777003%26algo%3DDISCL.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49129%26meid%3De4fa18ae4df84ab086a2999fb4524833%26pid%3D100012%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D152796589701&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985
  7. and lets not forget the bridge pup is kaput!
  8. thanks guys, not sure why that would be. I have now added thumbnails and links to the pics on Postimage. Please let me know if you are unable to see any of these cheers
  9. anyone else having probalems viewing the photos? Ive just added a couple more for good measure
  10. Didn't know there was one lol. Will take a look and sign up. Thanks for the tip.
  11. thanks guys, she sure is pretty but adly not enough strings for me. this is now for sale btw:
  12. many, many people would disagree with you strongly on this. it also has absolutely zero bearing on the merit of the case
  13. that is insane! looks like a ridiculous amount of bass for the money. the constuction, versatility and wood choice looks to rival and high-end boutique manufacturer!
  14. SIngle ESI Aktiv 08 studio monitor in excellent condition. This has been improved with sound deadening material added to the inside of the cabinet(so its significantly heavier than the weight listed below), there are also isolation pods attached to the underside. These are well specced and high quality monitors and sold for 145Euro new only a couple years ago. This one has had little use. Can post anywhere in mainland UK for £15 fully insured. Details from the website: Intended as sucessor for the popular nEar08 eXperience, the aktiv 08 studio near field reference monitor has been developed to offer the best 8" monitoring solution for the entry level. With an extended low frequency response and a top quality kevlar 8" driver, our aktiv 08 delivers unparalleled punch in the low-mid frequency - a major improvement over the paper and polypropylene drivers used in many comparable products.Compared to the previous generation, the aktiv 08 is build with a new tuning by our engineers in Germany, a higher quality silk dome tweeter and it also integrates a completely new design of the crossover circuitry. This gives aktiv 08 the pole position in the area of professional level studio monitoring if you are on a budget and won't accept a compromise on quality and sound. All this makes aktiv 08 the perfect alternative to our top selling uniK 08 reference monitor if you are on a budget. Features 2-way powered speaker / active studio monitor speaker 8" kevlar curved cone (magnetic shielding type) as LF driver 1" silk dome tweeter as HF driver output power 90W (HF 30W, LF 60W), 130W AC consumption power input connections: XLR / TS1/4" combo connector, balanced / unbalanced input input impedance: 23.3 kOhm balanced, 13.3 kOhm unbalanced input sensitivity: 130mV@1Watt, 1V@60Watt frequency response: 40Hz - 20kHz crossover frequency: 2 kHz SPL: 90dB +/- 3dB operating voltage: AC100-240V 50/60Hz, with 115V / 230V AC selection switch blue power LED on the front
  15. Maybe he saw it on eBay already but decided to sit on it himself...
  16. ive only just woken up and im suffering from man-flu so excuse me if im being dumb but how does that work? i mean doesnt depend entirely on how the instrument is tuned? for example, if its a 5 with a low B then surely you would spend more time playing nearer the headstock to use the "new" notes that you access to ie the B, C, C#, D and D# on the B string?
  17. Thanks Kev. No I'm sorry I don't. Truss rod works perfectly and I have adjusted it a few times since its been refinished as the neck settled post refinish - it was without strings for a while during this process). The crack, as it is now, has been the same since I got it back.
  18. Up for sale is my stunning 1988* Warwick Streamer Stage 1. Hand made in Germany. Now includes a hard case for safer shipping and price dropped to £850. shipping is £12.50 to mainland UK, £35 to most of EU, £55 to most of the rest of the world. Includes full insurance and tracking. There is no serial number on this so it is impossible to age it precisely but talking to various people on here who are very knowledgeable on all things Warwick it could have been made as early as '86 and as as late as 88' so ive gone for the 88' to be safe - also, from what I saw of the bass when it was being stripped, the woods looked identical to those on this '88 Streamer Stage 1( making it maple body with a wenge/maple neck): https://reverb.com/uk/item/2569081-rare-vintage-warwick-streamer-stage-1-1988-aguilar-on-board-preamp-emg-p-j Professionally refinished in a stunning gloss white by local luthier who also repaired the minor neck crack(which is a typical bug bear of these older pre-volute Warwicks from what I know - see the reverb ad above - the crack is almost identical!). This bass is all original except for the battery box which is a replacement from Warwick, the output jack, the pre-amp and pots (which are almost brand new MECs from a Warwick Fortress (the pre is a 2 band act/pass, bass, treb afair)). The frets were leveled and crowned by the same local luthier as well and it has received a full setup and new d'addario strings. The frets are down to about 50% from what I can see - see photos. Truss rod and electronics work perfectly! Neck profile and relief/action details (as best I can measure): Width @ nut 40mm Width @ 12th Fret 55mm Width @ 24th Fret 62mm Depth(front to back measured from fretboard) @ nut 23mm Depth @ 12 fret 23mm Depth @ 19th fret (before it joins the body) 27mm Relief(meaured at 7th fret with string fretted @ 1st and @ 20th frets) : 0.15" / 0.381mm Action @ 24th Fret 2.5mm - 1.75mm E - G Specs to the best of my knowledge: Maple body, wenge/maple neck, 24 bell brass frets, Mother Of Pearl dots front and side, brass Just a Nut I, solid brass Warwick 3D bridge, Schaller machine heads, Schaller straplock buttons, Warwick/MEC 2 band(bass and treble) EQ with active/passive with push pull volume. Weight is a very comfortable 4kg according to the kitchen scales though I swear it feels much lighter. The brass hardware including the screws, knobs, bridge nut etc. were all a heavily tarnished gold finish when I first got the bass so I shot blasted to reveal what i think is a pretty cool nickel looking colour. Paint finish is rather nice with only some minor blemishes on the front of the headstock that you can only see on very close inspection and the repaired neck crack is still visible under the paint as shown in the photos. The only other blemishes are the scratches on the cavity cover and the original varnish on the side of the fretboard is peeling away in some places but this cannot be felt underhand. I'm based nr Dudley, West Midlands Now includes a used but perfectly functional hardcase for safe shipping within the UK. If you need it shipping internationally I can add a brand new flight case at cost(£65) for safe international shipping.
  19. High-end "audiophile" headphones in excellent condition and come with a nice stand and proper Grado 6.35mm to 3.5mm adaptor. Cost new £450 back in '05/06 These are really stunning sounding and comfortable headphones but i just dont get the time to use them anymore so they need to find a new loving home. only a couple of tiny mark as shown in the pics otherwise outstnading condition. Can post anywhere fully insured at cost. Postage in mainland UK £15 fully insured. http://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/hi-fi-and-audio/headphones/grado-rs2-463194/review
  20. I use these myself everyday as I am a light sleeper. they are comfortable and do a decent job of reducing noise. the price is for 50 pairs so dont panic: https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dpg12bg50-32db-foam-ear-plugs-50-pairs/3650p?_requestid=143075
  21. tbf that hardware probably isnt the same as this which should be the solid brass variety. I still agree that £300 is very generous.
  22. Surely it depends what caused the output transistors to blow that is the key here. The blown trannies might by the symptom of the fault rather than the cause...
