    [quote name='Beedster' post='1140721' date='Feb 25 2011, 01:09 AM']"Whats better? a 2x15 or a single 15?" Neither. The solution is two 1x15s. It's the best of both worlds. Small gigs, take one, bigger gigs, take two. No slipped discs, and they're easier to fit into cars. Whilst I'm sure there is a difference in tone between the same two 15" units housed in one box or housed in two, I doubt that you'd hear it on stage.

    Lovely looking bass - congratulations! Always fancied a Ken Smith 5 myself ... I also had a play on one of CK's Smiths (a 6 er) at a SE Bash a few years back and it was superb; amazing tonal clarity, beautiful neck profile and a real looker! Enjoy

    [quote name='nick' post='1134446' date='Feb 20 2011, 04:12 PM']That is gorgeous. Nicely photographed - vase of flowers is a nice touch too.[/quote] +1 Great basses these..still regret the fact that I no longer own one.. From memory, these are quite unique instruments electronically because the tone controls act like a toggle switch and, depending on where they're set, change the pick ups from humbucker to a single-coil setting. Good luck with the sale!

Looks after his gear very well and as can be seen in the photos, has very good taste in basses!! Good luck with the sale..

    [quote name='voxpop' post='1122354' date='Feb 10 2011, 09:32 AM']Nik has bought a valve pedal from me and whole experience has been great, we have talked over phone and I can say this guy is a true gentleman. It has been a pleasure to do business with you sir. Marc ( VOXPOP )[/quote] Thanks Marc; the feeling's mutual by the way!!

    Great basses these - I had 2 of them a few years back! Most amazing thing was finding out that, if you had a question about the bass and contact Tobias, Mike Tobias would email back personally!! They play superbly, are a very comfortable weight IIRC, the necks are very comfortable..and the low B strings sound really good (well my 2 did).. So to be honest, I'm surprised it's not gone already, especially with the upgraded electronics! Good luck with the sale.

IMO, this is the bargain of the month as far as basses for sale go on Basschat..

    [quote name='silddx' post='1096281' date='Jan 20 2011, 01:14 PM']Gorgeous looking bass! If only it had the right number strings.[/quote] But '5' is a very harmonious number according to the Buddhists, Nig

    [quote name='Mike' post='1093644' date='Jan 18 2011, 11:19 AM']Interesting! A new one to me. At a very good price too, looking at what you paid for it. Welcome to BC and good luck with the sale![/quote] +1 That's a very interesting looking bass and though it's unique in a way that may not be to everyone's taste, the amount of detail & info supplied by the seller really helps to 'sell' the bass! Less than £850 for a hand-made, thru-neck 5er with a lot of character seems like very good deal to me... Good luck with the sale

    This is a great bass and if i could afford it right now, I'd buy it back in an instant! Super-resonant body, very alive sounding..the pick up & bridge mods make a big difference too and it plays very nicely. Also, it's light, so long gigs are a breeze! Good luck with the sale

    [quote name='basslondon' post='1094883' date='Jan 19 2011, 10:29 AM']Mr Gorman in the house![/quote] Absolutely!! And yes - I do know what you mean Shaun! Leigh was fantastic at the Matthew Ashman Tribute gig in London in November btw... This bass used to be mine many years ago..bought second-hand from a shop in Buckinghamshire for £400 in 1993! I sold it on when I bought a 2 pick-up version later that year.. Tonally, it was a very nice bass and it played as most Wal's do; i.e. perfectly! It used to look like this: [attachment=69304:Pro_1_PB1692.jpg] Would be interesting to hear it with the different p/ups and controls.. Good luck with the sale!

    I've only just seen these as I haven't been on Basschat much lately, having moved house and still having no broadband yet.. Anyway - just to say it looks like it was a really good day..some great photos and some very nice looking gear too!

    [quote name='Doctor J' post='1062791' date='Dec 18 2010, 07:09 PM']Like it or not, your tone, what you play and how you play it all come as a package. To ignore one or to say it's insignificant will be to the detriment of the others. If the punters don't cop onto that nice growl you get out of your bass and rig, why would they notice that tasteful fill you did either? If you don't think the little things about our instrument all contribute to the whole, just let the keyboard player do the bass and stay at home [/quote] +1 I agree..everything that each musician does in a band, contributes to the end result. So, in my opinion, it is worth worrying about each aspect; your playing, your bass, your rig, fx etc, etc.. But when pursuing our 'ultimate tone', I think we also need to take into consideration the fact that what sounds good in isolation, doesn't always sound good when played in a band setting.. There's been many times when I've been in a recording studio and hear the bass track in isolation and not particularly liked the tone, but when it's then heard in context with all the other instruments, it sounds great for the song! However, if you're a famous player with a 'signature sound' like Jaco, Marcus Miller or Victor Wooten, then your band's overall sound is built around the sound of the bass (for obvious reasons)...so the ground-rules are different. But for most of us, the bass playing that we do week-in, week-out is, there to support the overall sound of the band..So, IMO, we have to pay attention to how our bass sound complements the 'whole'... Anyway, Happy Xmas folks.. Hope it's a good one!

    Just received a Line 6 FM 4 pedal from Andy and have to echo the comments above..he's a great person to deal with!! Despite snow-enfored delays and the Xmas postal rush, Andy went to great lengths to ensure that the pedal got here and when it arrived it, was exactly as described and really well packaged.. Great piece of kit too Many thanks Andy - have a good Xmas!
