    [quote name='voxpop' post='552312' date='Jul 27 2009, 08:40 AM']What are the connectors on the back? XLR or jacks? Thanks[/quote] Jacks IIRC... Very interesting unit this.. For music which really feature bass at the forefront of the sound, like P-Funk, rare groove, '80's synth-pop etc, etc, it's excellent! I used it when we did a Depeche Mode number and it was perfect for that sort of stuff.. Also, used the octaver on 'Superstition' which was cool as well..

    It's a 450 watt cab by all accounts... Should be OK provided you don't overdo it on your master volume.. Have a look here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7130&hl=mesa+boogie"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=mesa+boogie[/url]

    Just sold my Yamaha NE1 to Emperormingus, a.k.a. John, who was great to deal with! He's relatively new to Basschat but I'm very happy to recommend him to one and all.. Thanks a lot John - hope to see you around here more often! Nik

    Just bought Crez's Metro + 210 and it's absolutely brilliant! This one is a newer set-up with the improved 210 speaker design, so it should be even better sounding rig. For this money, I can't see much else that can compare.. Obviously, shipping is an issue but perhaps you could try either APC or Interparcel for a quote because they've both been very reasonable when I've used them? Good luck with it!

    Got a few things on my list... ..starting with an old Wal Pro bass (that's currently hanging up at the Wal factory at the moment) and if he'd do it, I'd have it modded into a 5 string by Paul Herman to make it the only Wal Pro V in the world. Plus a decent P bass (because every home should have one)!

    Very nice..Quite 'Ritter-esque', which is no bad thing!

    [quote name='I am not excane' post='551484' date='Jul 25 2009, 11:24 PM']If you're referring to the flamed Hagstrom (next to the black one) then, no. Those are Hagstrom's proprietary PU's for those basses. They call them "H rails", they're passive and mediocre sounding. All of the other PU's (in my MTD's and Elrick) are Bartolini.[/quote] Ok, thanks..only they look like a Bill Lawrence designed PU that I had in a 1984 BC Rich eagle some years ago and that sounded superb!

    That's a great looking rig, and an even better looking bass!! Amazing cabs; I heard some Bergantino stuff at the Bass Gallery in May and was very impressed! Good luck with the sale...

    [quote name='Joshbasscana' post='548861' date='Jul 23 2009, 01:07 PM']Hey guys, Here I have my beloved left handed Tokai Jazz Bass. At some point between the 80's and now it's had it's neck replaced with what seems to be a Fender Jazz Bass neck. I am a right handed player so I have the bass strung the other way, but obviously that can be easily redeemed. When I got this, it had no knobs and botched jobs done on the electrics. I've recently had this looked at and fixed so everything is working perfectly It's got awesome tone and sad to put it up for sale. Not really sure what to sell this for really - so I'm up for offer's Cash and possible swaps. Thanks, Josh[/quote] I had a 1984 CAR Tokai Jazzsound and that was a superb bass, certainly as good as any Fender I'd had and in fact, I preferred it to a 1966 jazz that I once had.. Traded it with Beedster 2 years ago and no idea where it is these days, but these vintage Tokais are well worth looking out for. Good luck with the sale!

    Very nice; got one of these myself.. Good luck with the sale..

    Very nice bass; well worth £500 of anyone's money (and more).. Good luck with the sale!

    Great set-up! Are those Bill Lawrence pick ups in the flame-top?
  15. silverfoxnik
    That is gorgeous!! and I agree with Nick; don't sell it.. I had a natural 1979 'Ray about 15 years ago and had to sell it because of getting divorced (sold it to Martin Peteresn at The Gallery) and it was a fabulous bass. IMO, the pre-Ernie Ball models do genuinely have something extra special about them.
  16. silverfoxnik
    We do 'Trouble' in our set and it always goes down well and is a joy to play.. I'd really love to see him live though not got round to it yet, but the BBC programmes are so good it kind of makes up for it.

    Peavey gear

    silverfoxnik replied to a topic in Amps and Cabs

    + 1 on all the positive comments above! When I started playing bass and gigging again after a break of 12 years, I bought an old Peavey Mk IV (1982) head & an unnamed 115 cab from someone on Bassworld as it was then, to start me off and it was great! At the time, I was using that amp/cab combination with an MTD passive 5 string that I bought for £200, so all in all, it was a £300 set-up..but our guitarist (who really knows his stuff where gear is concerned) was astonished at how good it all sounded! Eventually, I added a Peavey 210TX to that set-up to run it all at 2 ohms and that was even better and had no problems with running at all 2 ohms.. As well as that, I've tried the Session amp that Alex mentioned and that was good too, though a tad underpowered for me, plus a T-Max which was very good for the money.. and I've also had the 410 TVX which really does produce a lot of low-end and is excellent at delivering a low-B string! I still have the initial Mark IV head that I bought 3 years ago and have also recently accuired Barney's MKIII (1979) as well and, though I've just upgraded my rig to an Eden Metro, I will definitely be keeping at least one of the two Peavey heads as a low-cost/low-maintenance back up because they're just so good!

    Those are just fabulous looking basses!! Can't afford one myself at the moment but just wanted to BUMP them up as they deserve it..

    [quote name='Mr.T' post='548991' date='Jul 23 2009, 03:01 PM']Having owned a WT series Eden, and now an RS700 Nemesis... I would describe the 'flat' (no eq) sound to be quite similar, i.e clean, clear and slightly scooped.[/quote] Thanks; that's a real help... good to have a direct comparison made etc, etc..

    [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='548787' date='Jul 23 2009, 12:13 PM']Does this sound like a proper Eden head?[/quote] That's a good question and a difficult one to answer.. The Nemesis e.q architecture (to borrow their very highbrow phrase) is very similar to all Eden heads, though there are 2 distinct differences IMO: 1) the NA650 is a solid state amp so it uses a solid state bit of trickery to emulate the valve pre-amp design / sound that lots of the other World Touring series Eden heads have. It does it well - a bit like Gallien Krueger's 'boost and G.I.V.E. technology - but it is definitely not a 'valve' sound. 2) the semi-parametric e.q. on the NA650 is good but nowhere near as flexible as the World Touring series Eden heads Hope that helps to answer your question in part but come back to me if not!

    BUMP! Last couple of days before the auction ends on Evil Bay. Though would much rather see it go to a fellow BC member if possible...

    [quote name='cgordonfreeman' post='548105' date='Jul 22 2009, 08:14 PM']It sounds pretty much like a Jazz but a bit beefier. You can add a huge amount of low end or top end sheen with the Aguilar or you can just go passive by pulling the volume pot. You can get an approximation of a P-bass too by messing around with the coil taps. All in all, it's quite versatile but I've a Bongo 5HH and a Carvin 5er. Any interest? Cheers, John.[/quote] Thanks.. I've always fancied a Valenti to be honest, more than a Sadowsky for example, and this is only the 2nd (or maybe 3rd) 5 string I've seen on Basschat which makes it quite unique! However, having just upgraded my rig, I can't spend money on more basses and the only two 5 string basses I have are both Jazzes, so that kind of rules me out of the equation when it comes to trades.. So best I can do is say 'lovely bass' and give you a free BUMP!
  23. silverfoxnik
    Saw this amp the other night up at Jay's place and it looks the business.. This is a real bargain at this price!
  24. silverfoxnik
    Looks like a great bass with excellent electronics! Looking at the Talkbass forums, Valenti has a pretty good reputation too.. But what does it actually sound like?

    [quote name='crez5150' post='545985' date='Jul 21 2009, 08:15 AM']Cheers Nik, It was good to meet you last night... That Jazz bass of yours sounds 'bloomin lurvly guvna'!![/quote] Cheers.. As did your Status which really surprised me....
