[quote name='ari' post='1261958' date='Jun 8 2011, 09:56 PM']Great pedal but eventually I found out I'm not an effects person and I never use it. It's just over 2 year old and I'm the second owner, it works perfectly and is in great condition. Sold with original box and manual. (I also have a pitchfactor I'm considering selling as well). Yours for £250 including mainland UK shipping. [/quote] Open to offers? It's one of these or a time factor. (to add to the pitchfactor.)

[quote name='superjx10' post='1287022' date='Jun 29 2011, 09:59 PM']Bump bump - 2 years and a bit have passed, we are now called Sarus, and thanks to Jonsmith have got ourselves out there gigging prog! www.sarus.info and on facebook. Jon has however decided with heavy heart to leave us at the end of the year - mainly due to his very very long commute (250 mile round trip) to rehearsals. We have 5 gigs to do between now and then, but we have a vacancy! Current set includes nos. by Genesis, Marillion, Rush, IQ, Twelfth Night, Floyd, Spock's Beard, and we are based around Southampton/Portsmouth. If you are somewhere nearby, have your own transport, and preferably some bass pedals, then please PM me, or call/text me on 07824 359602, and we can arrange a bash. Dan [/quote] Gah I wish you were nearer to Sheffield. This is right up my alley! Big It Bites fan and grew up on the Genesis, Rush, Yes stuff! I would even got out my old Taurus II's

[quote name='Quatschmacher' post='1262456' date='Jun 9 2011, 11:22 AM']There was a guy who put up an ad in the wanted section yesterday who was looking for a fretless jazz and a CIJ was on his list.[/quote] Yep that is I I will wait, see what offers arrive if that's ok. But this is pretty much what I had in mind. Cheers.

[quote name='Ed_S' post='1215612' date='Apr 30 2011, 11:06 AM']Hi there! My name's Ed and I'm from Sheffield. I'm a classic-rocker at heart, but play everything up to melodic / epic metal. My current band is on the heavier metal side, but I've got an 80s rock side-project and am the occasional accompanist for my acoustic singer-songwriter friend's coffee-house gigs. I've been a bassist for about 14 years now, and my weapon of choice is a good ol' 4 string Fender P-bass. I have a couple of nice MIAs that I record with, a couple of MIMs that I gig with, a Squier VM that I bought to put in BEAD tuning and my Kingman acoustic. If I can get away without backline I'm not afraid to just put my Sansamp RBI through the desk (and, for that matter, the fx-return of any other bass-amp I find when I arrive), but when it's necessary to take some power I use a MarkBass LMII or Orange Terror Bass 500 through a 1x15 neo cab. Of course, I didn't just arrive at 'grown-up'.. it's taken years of buying everything from the sublime to the ridiculous, finding out it was lovely to behold but impossible to play / carry / tame for small venues etc. and then moving it on to the next guy entering the same phase before trying something new. I've always liked to read opinions on gear forums, but it's only now that I feel I might have put in enough miles to offer something worthwhile back... ultimately I'll let you be the judge of that ;-)[/quote] Welcome aboard buddy... Also in sunny Sheff myself!

[quote name='Danny Fox' post='1167035' date='Mar 18 2011, 01:14 PM']If you ever want to drop by my stooodio and have a bit of help, i would be happy to. Dont mean to be patronising, i just know how boggling the hyperbass is when you first get it! I'll PM you my number[/quote] Thanks for the offer, I'll take you up on it, but I'll give it a while first Danny. I *think* it's the fact that it is *so* boggling that's thrown me. Let me know when you have a gig again and I'll come through and chat with you. (No falling asleep and missing it this time.)

[quote name='RhysP' post='1165844' date='Mar 17 2011, 03:03 PM']Well? What's it like then?[/quote] Hmmmm Difficult to answer. It's absolutely amazing! Truly an awesome piece of work. However, it feels right now, like I bought an instrument *so* specifically intended for use as a Manring type multi tuning instrument that I may never really use it, other than as a "bedroom bass". I *could* tune it to EAGD and file out the bridge and nut to accept normal gauge strings (rather than piccollo) but that would kinda make it a regular bass, and I already have multiple 4's 5's and 6's. I'm not sure I have the raw talent to really make the best use of this bass in the role for which it's actually intended. ...Don't get me wrong, I've had a few hours on it now, and I'm enjoying the challenge. Who knows I may actually be able to play a tune on it eventually. (Currently tuned Bb F Bb F ...and that ignores the complicated way the hipshots and the bridge tuners change that. For example one of the hipshots is tuned to be a Bb in the open position while the rest are tuned in closed position. So that one slides up to a higher note while the others drop.) Mindfeck! I was naieve to think I would be able to [i]easily [/i]use it as a regular (fretless) bass with the band. Ask me again in 2 years and I'll probably have a better idea of how much I can't live without it...

[quote name='Danny Fox' post='1143769' date='Feb 27 2011, 08:06 PM']Have fun Andy! welcome to the club dude [/quote] It arrived today (Friday 4th March.) It an amazing piece of work. Tuly it is. It's as different from a bass as a trombone is though... It's gonna take me a long time to get to know how to make it sing. Not plugged it in an played it but I'll keep you posted on how I get on!

[/quote] ooooof Might be better to tell her you have an expensive mistress next time. (While secretly storing a mamoth PA.) Get well soon!

[quote name='Soliloquy' post='1127836' date='Feb 14 2011, 11:53 PM']Bump. I've added an 'in progress' photo that John took for me last year. It was taken just before the bass was reassembled. I'll take some more photos tomorrow daytime, hopefully it'll be sunny. These photos are off the Jaydee website, but the bass is exactly the same.[/quote] want...

Yeah I wanted the bass chat forums to have first chance at it as I'm making a terrible loss, which might be someone elses gain. I reckon it's actually worth about 10k as parts. I've already had a few offers on parts of it from squatjuice forums, but really wanted to shift the whole thing in one go However thanks for the info. I shall consider putting it on there.... or maybe evil-bay.

[quote name='Rumble' post='1118303' date='Feb 6 2011, 09:26 PM']To be perfectly honest, I'm still not absolutely sure that I'm doing the right thing here, but I'm employing the 'flip a coin, call and judge you decision by your reaction' type approach. Make no mistake, this is a fantastic bass (hence my hesitant approach), but I'm just not using the 6th string and in truth, would probably like something a little more growly in the low end. I'll try not to bore you with loads of blurb, so I've attached a pic that'll probably tell you most of what you need to know - Mahogony wings with Walnut tone block, bolt-on neck, gold hardware, lovely top which I think is a figured Walnut.... It's also absolutely MINT. Comes with Status hardcase Only trades considered at the moment for something Warwick or similar, but they must be 5'ers I'm afraid. Might consider cash sale but only if there's something on the forum that takes my interest. [attachment=71436:IMG_2741__50__.JPG] Get in touch if you have any interesting offers[/quote] PM'd you re a Thumb 5-string trade Nice pre bb-bat neck.

This is a truly massive sounding, and fully pro rig. 4 x Turbosound TFL-760H 8 x Turbosound TSE-118 1 x Powersoft 7000 1 x Powersoft 5000 1 x Powersoft 3002 1 x Powersoft 2004 Also with brand new DBX Driverack 260 Digital EQ & Loudspeaker management system (Crossover) and DBX Driverack "PA" Digital EQ & Management system. (Use both X-Overs to achieve 4 way stereo system) Includes all the linking cables and Long speaker 4 way multicore, and also a 24-4 way multicore (XLR boxes each end) 16u Flightcase with castors All speakers are the original Turbosound drivers and have been checked and any faulty/scratchy ones replaced/reconed. The idea was to use it for my band, but the band split after just 3 gigs, and my fallback plan was to hire it out (It could be made to pay for itself quite quickly that way, just check out the cost of a PA of this calibre to rent, however, I'm just too lazy) Looking for an offer of about £8000 for the lot, and the loss I'm taking on this is staggering, but it's costing me just to keep it in storage, so it's gotta go. (used tse118's can sell on e-bay for up to £700 a pair and the amps alone (which toured Robbie Williams) would cost half the asking price Even the cabling cost a couple of hundred quid. I'm gonna keep the Allen and Heath desk, but apart from that, it's a complete, fully operational, tour ready PA for sale here... [color="#FF0000"]I don't have any photos of my rig[/color] but here are some of what they look like. these are TSE118 bottom end cabs... The top-most cabs in this shot are the Floodlight TFL760's This shot makes the Floodlights look small (1 each side of the ridiculously large horn) but they're really not. If you read this far it's also worth looking at the web page to see what they say about this rig [url="http://www.kssaudio.co.uk/clients2.html"](See halfway down the page)[/url] All stored in the Sheffield/Rotherham area. PM me if any of this is of interest to you. Andy
