    [quote name='stingrayfan' post='251432' date='Jul 30 2008, 03:53 PM'] Is there going to be a disco then? [/quote] Can you imagine the music that'd be played at a bass players disco...??

    [quote name='benwhiteuk' post='251175' date='Jul 30 2008, 11:44 AM']2nd hand prices are occasionally hugely inflated down Denmark St due to the London factor, as well as the fact it’s in a shop and that they’re gonna try their luck to see if they can find a rich buyer who doesn’t really understand what they’re buying as well as current market trends. ‘Denmark Street Guitars’ have been trying to sell a Trace Elliot V4 combo for £1800 for the last year or so, and fundamentally it’s 2nd hand. To put that price in perspective, there’s one selling for £1k on there at the moment that looks to be in really good condition, but some people are saying that it’s still overpriced at £1k, let alone £1800. This bass looks to be in fantastic condition though, so it should achieve a price towards to top end of the current market value, but I don’t really know what that would be at the moment.[/quote] I lived in London for 30 years before happily escaping to the south coast in 2000. In all of the time I was a working musician in London, Denmark Street prices were hugely over-priced; they were then and they still are now.. IMO, anyone who spends their hard-earned on guitars in Denmark Street has more money than sense! Back on topic, this is a lovely bass and good luck with the sale!

    [quote name='Captain Bassman' post='251138' date='Jul 30 2008, 11:18 AM']I'm hoping to make it down, Guildford's not too far from me and I ain't gigging that Saturday (for a change!). If so, I'll bring my GA24 Custom, GBIV and maybe lug my Aguilar DB750 down, in case the venue fancies putting in some new windows! More laters...[/quote] Cool - must make sure I have my public liability insurance sorted by then!

    We've just bought an excellent 8u rack case from Ian for our band for an unbelievably reasonable price! I didn't get to meet Ian myself as our guitarist Tony did all the running around.. Suffice to say that Tony was made very welcome over there in Leigh-on Sea by Ian and he's very pleased with the case! So, thanks for everything Ian and to quote Bassmandan: [i]"Highly recommended, A+++ as they say in ebay-land!"[/i] Cheers Nik

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='250801' date='Jul 29 2008, 08:55 PM']and a spanking?[/quote] Nope - spanking denied! However, what you Ken Smith and Celinder owners get up to in the privacy of your own homes is your own business..

    Definitely a great idea! Following on from OG's comments I'd say that if the same thing is played each time a change is made, it'd make sense to have the same person play it each time as well to keep all things as equal as possible.. Look forward to hearing the outcome of your get-together.. Have fun!

    [quote name='walbassist' post='250371' date='Jul 29 2008, 12:29 PM']I second that. Nik's Wal has a really nasty tone, but "nasty" in a good way!!!!!![/quote] Cheers !! And yes CK, it does involve tweaking a few knobs.. Well, 5 to be precise...

Look forward to hearing your review...

    [quote name='bassplace' post='250126' date='Jul 29 2008, 02:40 AM']Very good summary. If anyone wants to dig more, try here... [url="http://www.trevorandthea.eclipse.co.uk/wal_history.htm"]Wal History[/url] I have a ProIIe which can sound very much like a MkI or, as some have described, a PBass on steroids. One warning... Pro electronics are aging and some parts may be impossible to replace. It wouldn't keep me from buying one but I wouldn't make it an everyday bass. dunc[/quote] Hi dunc, Absolutely - Trevor's site is a fantastic introduction to the Wal history and is full of really interesting and unusual info that surprises even old gits like me who've owned Wals for years.. I hear what you're saying about the Pro models and I do worry about what I'll do if /when the circuitry starts to go wrong in mine? And partly for that reason and partly because I get worried it'll get damaged, I've stopped gigging with it this year. Mind you; I was using it for the first time in ages yesterday and it sounded just amazing.. So I'm planning to give it a whirl at a couple of gigs next week just to remind myself how lucky I am

    [quote name='stingrayfan' post='250046' date='Jul 28 2008, 10:55 PM']Silverfox - I might be able to make this after all. Got to be at the outlaws in the PM but could do a drive-by in the morning. Not sure what gear I can bring as I'll be en-route to East Anglia but might be able to bring a G&L Tribute if anyone wants to have a go. Maybe my Trace head too?[/quote] Great news Matt! It'd be really good to bring the Tribute if you can because they've generated a bit of interest here in recent months, especially over the USA vs Tribute debate.. WalMan's USA L2500 will be there so a direct comparison of the two would be very interesting! CK - how come you're leaving your band??
  14. silverfoxnik
    Very interesting looking bass, Steve! Unusual looking pick up configuration and circuitry - what does it all do exactly? Hope it goes well tomorrow night! Nik

    [quote name='walbassist' post='249418' date='Jul 28 2008, 10:16 AM']Hi Mike Sweet bass - the older Smiths are wonderful basses. That one must be what, late 80s or very early 90s? Cheers Gareth[/quote] +1 Though I'm not a 6 string player at all, having played one of these and heard a number of them over the years, there's just something about these Ken Smiths that kind of define what a 6 string bass is IMO.. Good luck with it!

    Hi Ian Do you have the dimensions of the unit please? We're looking for something like this for some of our PA gear but the guitarist & keyboard player deal with all this so they're bound to ask me for a bit more detail.. Cheers Nik

See you Thursday @ The Crown [/quote] Al, Have you considered talking to someone about this, so you can move on with your life and 'let go'??? Seriously, I was thinking very specifically of the Pro models, not the Customs which you do see come up for sale a bit more often... See you Thursday! Nik
