    [quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1430506682' post='2762205'] Hi, I'm in a rock band and we play within a musical soundscape. [/quote] Not sure what one of these is. Anything like a pub?

    I am surprised it is still here but hoping it remain here until I have sold my Barefaced Compact....

    I was expecting something more like this: And a microfibre cloth, of course.

    I somehow managed to sell Dunc a whole pile of stuff. He is an absolute gent to deal with - we've had a right old natter, too. I look forward to dealing with him again! That is all

    Hmm. just started to think about practicalities such as carting it about and none of the gig bags and cases I have go anywhere near it. Does anyone know of any strangely offset shaped gig bags? Warwick do a Thunderbird one but I don't think even that will fit! Edit - this will do it.

    A few hours to go and this looks like a bargain. Joodee Performer bass. Google throws up stuff that says these are nice - if i weren't up to my ankles in basses I'd have a go at this myself.

    Very Rock. And, yes, I agree, it would go very well with leopardskin. I believe I have a leopardskin strap somewhere that I may use with it. Or Zebra skin. I, sadly, don't go with leopardskin. Especially not leopardskin Spandex. Or any kind of Spandex, come to that. My Spandex days are well behind me. If, indeed, I ever had any. On stage, off stage, even in the privacy of my own home. Just no. There is that little club I go to sometimes on alternate Tuesdays, but that doesn't count

    Had minor GAS for one of these for a while which was made worse by a recent post about them. My good fortune, then, to catch one within a very short time of it being listed on eBay yesterday and - less than 24hrs later - it is now here at casa S. It certainly doesn't disappoint in the flesh - apart from a few dinks in the pointy bit it is in pretty good condition especially when considered it is best part of 30 years old. This is an A series Japanese Squier made '85-86 - basically a Precision with a bonkers shape body and headstock. Here's the best stuff - 32" medium scale length, neck is 38mm width nut and weighing a ridiculous 7lbs on the luggage scale. Nicely made, sounds great, plays even better. Bit of neck dive, nothing I can't live with. Perfectly posey for my new rock covers band. Happy chap. [attachment=190929:kat1.jpg][attachment=190930:kat2.jpg][attachment=190931:kat3.jpg]

    Bump!

    And on hold....

    Polarises opinions, that for sure.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1430325913' post='2760354'] Poof reading is absolutely essential to avoid embarrassment. [/quote]

    Luvverly. I had the 'Power Jazz Bass Special' version in the same fetching colour scheme that, for some daft reason, I sold.

    [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1430309123' post='2760078'] You think Plant can still sing that high?! [/quote] As I recall Plant ducked out of most of the high notes in the film 'The Song Remained The Same' in 1973, so no chance these days. He now lacks power as well as range. IMO etc etc. To be fair, there aren't many from that era who can still sing. Ian Gillan, probably my favourite male vocalist back in the day, is pitiful. Paul Rogers springs to mind as one of the few who can.

    I recently acquired this - a Yamaha BB414 in a kind of discreetly flecked metallic black. Lovely condition - then again I have no idea how old it is! Lots of love for these on the forum and rightly so. For the price point these are astonishingly good basses with an aggressive P bass tone from the middle pickup - mix it with the bridge via the toggle switch and you have a very nice sound indeed with a character way beyond a bass this cheap should have. This one is set up nicely with a decently low action, neck is 40mm the nut and plays well. Weight is around 9.5lbs - and that is my problem as it is a tad too heavy for me. I considered changing the tuners for lightweight ones but decided in the end to move it on. Plus, having already decided I have too many basses, I have just given in to GAS and bought a Squier Katana bass that just popped up on eBay. Something had to give and this one got the straw. I am asking a very reasonable £140 collected from SS7, meet half way or deliver for fuel costs within a reasonable radius. No case or bag but lots of packaging for courier - Interparcel would be around £17 on top. Bank transfer, PayPal no fees or cash.

    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1430296700' post='2759873'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]And there's your problem. It's all in the ears, and we all have different ears.[/font][/color] [/quote] +1000 I really like TC Electronic amps, some people can't stand them. Once the band kicks in most of the subtle nuances of different amp tones can be drowned out anyway so that it why it is important to get what sounds good to you as you and your amp will spend a lot of time alone together on cosy nights in.

    +1 for Shure SE 215s - they are incredibly good for the money. They sometimes come up with damaged packaging on eBay - I got a set that were brand new with all the bits and warranty but no box for under £60.

    And now on hold, pending payment
  19. Paul S
    You can, and thank you! I am getting confused with the other end - the cab is speakon only isn't it! My brains...

    I've just 'upped the anti' to an RH750 so this is now surplus. Anything you might want to know about specs is on this link [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/classic450/"]http://www.tcelectro...com/classic450/[/url] I've been using this with Barefaced cabs for last couple of years and it is very easy to use and set up in a gigging situation. The Tubetone in particular I find very good as you can dial in a passable tube overdrive emulation from warm to dirty without affecting the volume hugely - so you can make changes on the fly for different sound options. Also the compressor isn't in your face if used with discretion. I tend to use it with the eq flat which, through the Barefaced cabs, is pretty clean - coloured more towards 'old school' than the 'Genz Benz brittle', if you see what I mean. Volume-wise I've used it into 8ohm for rehearsals, master turned up to just 11 or 12 0'clock, less into 4 ohms for gigs. I've now gone over to a one cab set up so felt the need for extra headroom but kept to TC Electronic as I like the tone and overall 'user-friendliness'. This is in pretty decent nick. No issues with the knobs whatsoever. There is a slight dink in the ali casing in one corner and a very slight scuff at the front, other than that is is much as came out of the box. I have no spare kettle leads, though, so this comes without. Speaker out via single speakon, not jack. I'm asking £250 for this, collected from SS7. Could meet half way or deliver for fuel within a reasonable radius. Insured next day courier would be around £15. Not really looking for trades at the moment. Would make a nice partner for my Barefaced Compact, also for sale...

    I bought Geoff's TC Electronic RH750 in what has to be one of the smoothest transaction I have had. Great price, great comms, arrived really quicky, well packaged and in better condition that I could have hoped for. I look forward to dealing with him again!!
  22. Paul S
    I really like it. Great groove, good interpretation, nice playing all round.
  23. Paul S
    Update to this - the Midget is sold pending the usual. I now have the amp I am looking for so this is sale only for the Compact with a tiny price cut. £400 posted or £370 collected.
  24. Paul S
    That's nice.

    noisy pots

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1430146596' post='2758372'] Don't use WD40 on pots. Or bike chains. Jon. [/quote] I never use bike chains on my pots. Not since the first time...
