    The Nordstrand pick ups are a definite upgrade on the Bartolinis, that's for sure. This is a lot of bass for the money, as the saying goes. GLWTS

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1456407341' post='2988660'] I keep having a look at this, what a wonderful bass [/quote] +1 One of those that I imagine sounds as wonderful as it looks. GLWTS

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1455284058' post='2977779'] Just bought ([i]TBH it was a steal!![/i]) a Trace Elliot head from the Amps For Sale section - it's been a few years since I last owned/played through a TE and I'd forgotten how much I loved the tone. Smooth, rich and yet still gives a kick in the ribs to anybody who dares to walk past. TE are seen to be a bit "dated" - "[i]80s equipment"[/i] - so as a result are fetching ridiculously low prices considering what you get for your money - I dare you to try one without falling in love with one again. [/quote] +1 Very recently bought an AH300 head from TimAl and although it's taken a while to get my head around it (as it's 30 years since I last had a Trace amp), it sounds bloody marvellous! And it really, really is ridiculously loud!! You're not wrong about that kick in the ribs', Mick.

    [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1457393598' post='2998179'] Like many other things in life, once you've found 'the one' you simply go looking for another - because as we all know, you can never have enough basses!! [/quote] +1 I have different basses that work best in different bands, which allows me to avoid having to commit to the idea of having just 'the one' bass. Having said that, if I really had to pick one bass, it'd be my '84 BC Rich Eagle. But - in typical Basschat fashion - the very recent acquisition of a Hayman 40 40 may just change that!

    Just sold a valve pedal to Mark, who was a pleasure to deal with! As he said, a 'perfect transaction'.

    Thanks for the kind words Chaps! Glad to have helped, Nick.

    For about 7 years, I played in a band with a 3k rig which we used mainly in pubs. Despite it being a great PA, I still took my own bass rig because my bass sounded better through it compared to the PA with its Mackie sub, which gave lots of sub-bass frequencies, but little definition. Now I play in a band with a small vocal PA and my Ampeg rig with a 115 cab suits it perfectly in terms of sound, volume and footprint.. However I will occasionally carry a 210 cab as a spare just in case! And, if the venue permits, then it gives me the chance to use the full rig I have, which is a treat for me. Yes, it's more effort, but it works for me.

    I have one of these, albeit without the additional bridge pick up, and it's a terrific bass - especially for this kind of money. Well worth buying as a back up anyway, but I used mine as my main gigging bass for most of last year. GLWTS

    I have a Schecter Diamond P5 that is so good, I very quickly bought it back after foolishly selling it last summer.. Only my opinion of course, but this range of Schecter basses is very underrated!

    Having owned and played so many different basses over the last 40 years, I've come to the conclusion that there's no rhyme or reason to this at all... Twenty years ago, I had a '66 Jazz, but I never really got on with it.. Had an 80s Tokai Jazz that I loved. Apart from playing a great sounding Warwick Streamer 5 string at the first South East Bash in 2007, I've never got on with the feel of the 3 Warwick's that I've owned. I also had 3 Stingrays over the years and never got on with the sound when playing them. Had 2 or 3 Wal Custom Mach 1s, including a 5 string, but didn't like them at all, yet loved the Wal Pro models that I've owned.. I've had a few budget Yamahas too - BB300, BB400 models - and really enjoyed them,but last year I quickly moved on a beautiful TRB5P that I bought here that I was absolutely convinced I was going to bond with when I bought it. Like I say, no rhyme or reason! It's been a real blast trying out so many different basses though..

    Very nice indeed!

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1457178710' post='2996039'] Very generous offer, well done that man. [/quote] +1 Another example of the Basschat community at it's finest!

    Great cab! Used to have the heavy version with ceramic drivers.. It was the only cab I've ever had where other musicians commented on my sound at gigs because of it. For the neo version at this price, I'm amazed this is still here. GLWTS

    Just bought a fabulous, vintage Hayman 40 40 bass from Baldwin bass, a.k a. Stuart who has been an absolute gent and a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. As well as entrusting me with a bass he's owned for nearly 40 years, Stuart was kind enough to drive to my neck of the woods to allow me the opportunity to try out the bass in person before committing to buy it. So, I'm more than happy to personally recommend Stuart to one and all here on Basschat... Deal with in complete confidence, folks! Lastly, thanks for a really pleasant transaction Stuart and for the bass itself, which is just brilliant! Hope you do decide to come along to the South East Bash in September ; it's a great day and I'm sure you'll really enjoy it.. Nik

    Beautiful!! GLWTS

    Now that's what I call service!! I forgot to say earlier that your cabs look very well made and are clearly a bargain at the price you have them up for.. I have a pair of 1x12 cabs already, otherwise these would be very tempting indeed.

    Very nice indeed! Great colour.. GLWTS

    [quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1456757294' post='2991927'] I've got one of these. Seriously good little filter - dont let the price fool you! I'd be selling the Q-Tron if i were you [/quote] I know, they're great.. had three of them over the years! But with a Zoom B3 and the Q Tron, I thought it was time for a change.. Anyway, pedal now SOLD!

    [b]*** NOW SOLD ***[/b] Hi Folks Having recently bought an Electro Harmonic Mini Q -Tron pedal, I have this [b]Boss FT2[/b] [b]Dynamic Filter[/b] [b]pedal[/b] for sale at [b]£NOW SOLD[/b]. It's a great sounding pedal and in perfect working order, though sadly, I don't have the original box or a PSU for it.. This is a photo of what it looks like.... [attachment=213538:20141104_091312.jpg] The official blurb for it says it's a 'Resonant low-pass filter, with up and down envelope modes and also sweep-able via expression pedal'. It's controls are as follows: · [b]Sens (Min-Max)[/b] [indent=1]Controls how the envelope filter responds to the input signal.[/indent] · [b]Cutoff Freq. (Lo-Hi)[/b] [indent=1]Controls the frequency of the filter.[/indent] · [b]Q (Min-Max)[/b] [indent=1]Controls the amplitude of the filter sweep (?)[/indent] · [b]Mode (Man/EXT / Dynamic Up/Down)[/b] [u]Man/EXT[/u]mode disables the envelope filter, when you plug in a control pedal in the EXT connector, you can use that control pedal as a wah pedal. In[u]Dynamic Up[/u]mode this effect is an envelope filter with an upward envelope. In[u]Dynamic Down[/u]mode this effect is an envelope filter with a downward envelope [b]Reviews:[/b] [url="http://www.bass-pedals.com/boss-ft-2-dynamic-filter-review/"]http://www.bass-peda...-filter-review/[/url] [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/reviews/product/boss-ft-2-dynamic-filter"]http://www.harmonyce...-dynamic-filter[/url] There's a couple of very good YouTube demos here: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvc_onllpKs"]https://www.youtube....h?v=gvc_onllpKs[/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD5hYrhvkvE"]https://www.youtube....h?v=qD5hYrhvkvE[/url] Am happy to post this out (or you can collect if you're local) and I guess it'll be about £4-5 to do that.. Any questions, please PM me or ask away here. Thanks for looking.. Nik
