  1. SOLD!! Hi Folks I bought this Aphex Bass Xciter unit well over a year ago on here and have used it quite happily since as part of my fx chain..However, as I have just bought Stevie's TC electronics pre-amp, all my other fx units have become redundant! [b]Pictures:[/b] [attachment=58119:IMG01420...901_0827.jpg] [attachment=58120:IMG01421...901_0827.jpg] [attachment=58121:IMG01422...901_0827.jpg] [b]Features:[/b] APHEX 1402 Bass Exciter, 1/4" Jack and XLR-DI Out, Ground Lift, powered via batterie, Netzteil (AC&CS) and Phantompower, connector for AC Adapter ( AC Adapter not included (5-32 VAC) ) [b]Reviews & Switch issue:[/b] I got it quite cheap as I recall because the switch has a slight fault, in that it can be a bit intermittent. However, as I always used this in an 'on' setting, it never troubled me. The reviews on Harmony Central [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/3535"]here[/url] mention this problem with the switch, but like me, most people seem to use this unit in the 'on' setting all the time too! Seems quite a popular effect though... [b]Price:[/b] Price new is anywhere from £85-£95 online (see [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/bass-exciter/12212"]here[/url] and [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/aphex_1402_bass_exiter.htm"]here[/url]), but bearing in mind the switch issue, I'm asking £25 plus p&p for it by PayPal, cheque or cash on collection.. I'm happy to ship it safely packaged to wherever..Any questions, feel free to ask or send me a PM. Thanks for looking Nik
  2. [b]SOLD pending the Usual..[/b] Hi Folks I bought this earlier this year to use with one of my Roscoe Beck V string basses and it was very good indeed..Excellent sounding e.q., plus a great D.I. box and the AGS distortion feature is pretty useful too.. But since I bought Stevie's TC Electronics pre-amp last month, i'm just not using the Tone Hammer at all.. So, here it is offered for sale at [b]£100 o.n.o.[/b] which is a bit less than I paid for it and still about[b] £65-70 cheaper[/b] than you can buy them new at places like Thomann (see [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/aguilar_tone_hammer.htm"]HERE[/url]). [b]Features:[/b] The Thomann site lists the following, which sums it up nicely! [i]'Aguilar Tone Hammer - preamp and D.I. box, foot-switchable 3-band EQ with parametric mids, bass, treble, gain and master volume. AGS (adaptive gain shaping) for more gain, foot switchable D.I. (pre or post EQ), ground lift.'[/i] [b]Reviews:[/b] There is a lot online about it, but the Harmony Central reviews are pretty conclusive I'd say! have a look here at the [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Aguilar/Tone+Hammer/10/1"]Tone Hammer reviews on Harmony Central[/url] [b]Soundclips:[/b] Even better than the reviews, is the soundclips section of the Aguilar website. Have a look & listen [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/tonehammer_settings.htm"]HERE![/url] [b]Photos:[/b] Finally, some photos of the unit itself...As you can see it's in pretty good condition and comes boxed ith the right PSU and manual (though it's very easy to use)..Some velcro was added to the underside by the previous owner which is very helpful as it happens, though it could be removed should you wish.. [attachment=58109:IMG01413...901_0820.jpg] [attachment=58110:IMG01414...901_0820.jpg] [attachment=58111:IMG01415...901_0821.jpg] [attachment=58112:IMG01416...901_0821.jpg] [attachment=58113:IMG01417...901_0821.jpg] [attachment=58114:IMG01418...901_0823.jpg] [attachment=58115:IMG01419...901_0824.jpg] I'm happy to post it and if that is what's required, then I can promise that it will be very well packed! If you're local and want to come and collect it and have a listen, then by all means please do. Payment is cool by Paypal, cheque or cash on collection of course! Thanks for looking..any questions - please PM me or just ask away here! Cheers Nik

  9. Just bought a TC Electronic pre-amp from Stevie and apart from the unit itself being great, the communications were brilliant throughout and the packing was excellent!! Totally pleasant experience, from start to finish.. Highly recommended! Thanks Stevie
  10. Hi Folks, I have just bought a Yamaha bass from fluffo (Mark) and wanted to say that it was a real pleasure from start to finish..great bass too.. Apart from welcoming me into his place quite late in the evening to try out and buy the bass, he made me a grand cup of tea and entertained me with lots and lots of good 'bass-chat'.. Mark knows his stuff and looks after his gear so should you ever have to deal with him, take it from me that you can do so in complete confidence! Thanks again Mark...hope to see you at the next SE Bash in November! Nik
  11. +1 Well said Nick! I can only add to that by saying that when i first met Dave (at the SE Bass Bash in Guildford in 2007), he made me feel very welcome and helped me really enjoy the day, which was great because it was the first bass bash i'd been to and I was a tad nervous at the start.. Every time i've met or spoken to Dave since then, he's been exactly as Nick described; a very kind, knowledgable and supportive member of this bass community which he's made a huge contribution to over the last few years!

    [quote name='Stingray5' post='933296' date='Aug 23 2010, 03:38 AM']Dear Ros, I've just seen your post and would like to express my sincerest condolences to you personally for your sad loss and say thank you for taking the time to reply to all here. I think it's safe to say Simon will not be forgotten here on Basschat and as you've seen (and already know), he was a very well-respected and valued member of the bass community. I'll also look forward to news of whichever charity you decided to nominate in Si's memory. A tribute gig is a great idea, too! Best wishes to you and your family, Steve (Stingray5)[/quote] +1

    [quote name='Beedster' post='926081' date='Aug 16 2010, 06:40 AM']Very very sad. We never met but we PM'd many times about vintage Precisions! He was one of the real experts here, no attitude or rhetoric, just knowledge and experience, these coupled with a real desire to share both without any sense of "I'm the expert". His many threads and posts over many years will ensure that we and future members will continue to benefit from his generous nature and extensive experience. My thoughts are with his family and friends. Chris[/quote] +1 Like Chris, I never met Si but we shared a number PMs over the years about a diverse range of things..basses (obviously), websites, setting up Bass Bashes, marketing etc..On all occassions he was warm, funny, generous and sincere and you can't ask for much more than that from the people you meet in life! I've only just found out this news this morning and am truly shocked.. I've got 2 gigs this weekend and will dedicate them to him I think.. My condolences go out to all those who he held dear and to all those who knew him.
  14. [quote name='NickThomas' post='931442' date='Aug 20 2010, 10:30 PM']Damm I'd have liked to have gone to this , but we're heading up North tomorrow for a few days . Hope it all goes well !. I think the forecast is pretty reasonable :-)[/quote] Cheers Nick! Have a good trip...
  15. [quote name='TPJ' post='928415' date='Aug 18 2010, 10:32 AM']Wont he have a tough time of it if he doesn't regularly play DB? An EUB might be easier for him unless the gig is totally acoustic.[/quote] Definitely! In fact, that's what he's sorted out now.. Thanks for the help folks!
  16. Thanks guys! Any other suggestions near to the south coast at all..? I should have said in my OP that this person lives in Brighton..
  17. [b]SORTED THANKS[/b] Hi Folks First time I've ever ventured into this Forum, so please be gentle with me! A friend of mine who's an electric bass player asked me if I knew anywhere he could hire or borrow a double-bass for one gig in September. I said that I had no idea but that i'd ask on Basschat to see what the score is.. To be honest, quite how he's going to play it, even if he can find one, is another story entirely....but in the meantime, if anyone here has any info/advice I can pass on to him I'd be very grateful! Many thanks Nik
  18. Don't know about their power amps, but in the mid 80s, Dynacord bass rigs were very highly rated IIRC... German made I think..
  19. [quote name='JMT3781' post='927826' date='Aug 17 2010, 06:27 PM']Good Man! If anything, get another 2x12 lol[/quote]
  20. Great basses these, and I'm saying that though i'm not a Warwick fan particularly.. Luke Ward had a blue one that i played at the SE Bass Bash a few years ago and it was brilliant..very funky, very growly..quite un-put-down-able (if there's such a word) Good luck with the sale!
  21. [quote name='andy67' post='926988' date='Aug 16 2010, 10:08 PM']Great collection, although you may want to seek advice re the VOX; I suspect its worth more than the £80 you are asking. (70/80's Jap crap) good luck andy[/quote] +1
  22. Amazing looking bass; never seen one of those before! Good luck with the sale...
  23. [quote name='nobody's prefect' post='926246' date='Aug 16 2010, 10:50 AM']No recommendations for ACME? My two LOW-B2s move quite a bit of air with sufficient power - and let's face it, with Peavey IPR 1600 costing £350 now is the golden age of low sensitivity, high fidelity designs - and the hifiness is absolutely there. Not Genelec studio monitor (which I also had, and A/B'ed) precise, perhaps, but then, is the rest of your signal chain up to being reproduced by Genelecs? There are other similar designs, ACME was what was available when I bought my big rig. Caveat: some amps will sound like mud through ACMEs.[/quote] I think Alex Claber used to own a couple of their 210's IIRC...he always rated them very highly!
