  1. [quote name='BassManKev' post='66715' date='Sep 28 2007, 07:57 AM']just for reference, a guy sold a mint condition out of the box bass pod pro on here a few weeks back for £85[/quote] Perhaps he should have checked the going rate on ebay then as the bass ones have fetched between £115-£150 lately. Also, this is the guitar one.
  2. Price drop, now asking £150.
  3. At the very top end of your budget you might be lucky and score a used Crest CA9. Excellent power amp for bass, though it weighs a ton...
  4. Now only the volume pedal left.
  5. Now inviting offers.
  6. [quote name='parker_muse' post='43955' date='Aug 10 2007, 07:23 PM']Im looking for a high gain distortion, is this the one im looking for? [/quote] Hi Parker, This pedal is definitely high gain distortion! To quote [url="http://www.ratdistortion.com/turborat.htm"]ProCo's website[/url]: "The Turbo RAT is the most intense pedal in the RAT family. For those brave enough to harness its power, it provides a palette of distortion unequaled by any other pedal... Boasting more than twice the maximum output of the original RAT, the Turbo RAT is hard-clipping while the mid-range frequencies are slightly scooped. With a less compressed signal, it also has a brighter tone, so you'll have no trouble being heard through the mix." If you're familiar with Tool, their bass player Justin Chancellor uses one of these pedals in his "dirty rig" - check out his set-up [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/pop-up.asp?storycode=18703&seq=2&type=P"]here[/url]. [quote name='overwater#1' post='44386' date='Aug 12 2007, 11:37 AM']If you do decide to post, I may have the rockstand.[/quote] Hi Matt, There's already a queue for the stand - I'll let you know if it becomes available again though. The only reason I was reluctant to post was that I didn't think it would be very cost effective.
  7. PM replied to. No trades I'm afraid (other than a Radial DI box).
  8. Continuing my clearout of items currently gathering dust I offer up the following: [b]ProCo Turbo Rat[/b] Distortion pedal. Excellent condition, complete with original box. [b]Sold[/b] [attachment=1673:rat.JPG] [b]Boss BF-2B Bass Flanger[/b] Fair condition. [b]Sold[/b] [attachment=1672:bf2b.JPG] [b]Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive[/b] Good condition. [b]Sold[/b] [attachment=1674:odb3.JPG] [b]Boss FV-50H Volume Pedal[/b] High impedence stereo version. Excellent condition, complete with original box. [b]£40 incl. postage[/b] [attachment=1675:volume.JPG] [b]Warwick RockStand[/b] For 3 basses/guitars. As with a few other people on this board I replaced the original foam (which was too soft and did not provide enough padding) with thicker pipe insulation. Collection from west London only on this as I don't think it would be worth posting. [b]Sold[/b] [attachment=1676:guitarstand.JPG]
  9. Thanks for the bumps fellas (and to [b]the realting[/b] for the kind words!), this amp is now sold
  10. [quote name='rapscallion' post='41352' date='Aug 4 2007, 06:41 PM']Is it 450W at 4ohm? And how loud would you say[/quote] Yep, 450 watts @ 4 ohms, 275 watts @ 8 ohms. [size=1]Edit:[/size] As for how loud, I found myself needing more headroom sometimes but then I've found that with every amp I've owned until I got my current 2,000 watt Crest power amp that is...
  11. It's the discontinued older one - not the current (XT) model, I'll post up some pics tomorrow. Shipping to Northern Ireland shouldn't be a problem.
  12. [b]Line 6 POD Pro[/b] This is the rackmount guitar version of the POD - bought it for a album session a while back that then fell through, consequently this thing is pretty much unused so it's in excellent condition having not left my room. [i]Of interest to the metallers out there this is the model that Meshuggah still use.[/i] Still deciding whether to keep this or the kidney bean XT that I have for use with the Stick but I'm fairly sure this is the one to go, so... [b]£150[/b], complete with manual and original box* [size=1]*box is a bit tatty[/size] [attachment=1592:PODPro1.jpg] [attachment=1593:PODPRo2.jpg] [attachment=1594:PODPro3.jpg]
  13. The first fretless lines I copped were John Giblin's from the early Kate Bush albums.
  14. +1 for the GWB1
  15. Going to be selling a few bits and pieces over the next few weeks, first up is an [b]Ampeg SVT-3PRO[/b] 450w bass head. £350, collection only from west London at the moment. [attachment=1571:AmpegFrontTop.jpg] [attachment=1572:AmpegTop.jpg] [attachment=1573:AmpegBack.jpg]
  16. I got my last one from the Bass Merchant.
  17. [quote name='dood' post='39266' date='Jul 30 2007, 10:15 PM']Yeh, I gotta give the Norwich guys a thumbs up. They have always been spot on for me. Sometimes a bit manic and busy, but hey.. it's a shop![/quote] Haven't been in there for a few years now, was still Academy of Sound when I last visited. Is Greg still there?
  18. Tony Levin: We recorded it in 1986, because . . . I remember the year because my daughter was born that year. And she was only two months old, and I brought her with me to the sessions. And being a typical American, I guess, I didn't know that they had what we call diapers. I didn't know you had those in England. (laughs) Of course you have. You call them nappies. And my suitcases and my bass cases were all full of nappies. And when it came to the second half of that song, "Don't Give Up," I was looking for a bassier sound, and one way I get that in the studio is to put dampening material, usually foam rubber, under the strings of the bass. Well, there wasn't any foam rubber, and I looked around and what there were plenty of were diapers, or nappies. So I put the diaper under the bass strings. It's the only time I've ever done it, and we got a wonderful, very bassy sound. And we named it the "Super Wonder Nappy Sound," which I think we looked for on other albums but never quite reproduced.

  19. PM sent re: the UL502.
  20. [quote name='bass_in_ya_face' post='37648' date='Jul 27 2007, 08:20 AM']i had images of him drumming and Tony fretting for some reason.[/quote] You're correct, Levin was still fretting - I think I read in another interview that Marotta was kneeling in front of him so you can imagine how that must have looked...! Have you heard the story about the nappies and the track 'Don't Give Up'?
  21. [quote name='bass_in_ya_face' post='37275' date='Jul 26 2007, 12:19 PM']I just love that 'funk fingers' thing he did on Peter Gabriel' 'Big Time' ...possibly my favourite 4 seconds of bass playing [/quote] It was actually Jerry Marotta that played that part by drumming on Levin's bass strings - Levin invented the 'Funk Fingers' later in order to reproduce that part live...

  22. [quote name='Toasted' post='6031' date='May 24 2007, 08:51 PM']The Radial JDI is fantastic value for money under £100.[/quote] Where are they available for under £100?
