I dunno how he can claim that his necks are set at a 'perfect angle'. A string, from nut to bridge is a straight line. It is only angled by the player. What he's building there, is an odd shaped body on a regular neck. ...then photographing it at an angle other than horizontal. I wonder what his patent is actually for. Maybe we will all have to pay royalties to hang our basses over our shoulders at any angle other than the imperfect *horizontal*? I too would have liked to hear the bass rather than his flapping jaw ...even a little.

[quote name='Finbar' post='1050034' date='Dec 6 2010, 11:21 PM']Guess I should post this here too, even though I still only have this one poop photo. It's my GT200 with it's new 6x10 friend. Having the white matching cab makes the head look 'complete' now I think, and I feel totally vindicated for my choice of bright white with the whole ensemble Oh yeah, the 6x10 owns pretty hard. I'll admit I've never been a fan of any 4x10 I've tried, so I was sceptical. It also definitely has taken me a few weeks to get used to how it sounds. It has so much low end, I'm struggling to roll enough off with the amp's tone controls to get it sounding how I like! Paired with my Precision, this amp just sounds how a rock bass really should IMHO Ace cabs - definitely worth a shout if you're in the market for a new one! Heavy, but ace.[/quote] That looks wicked buddy! Very porn-worthy!

I had a similar problem with a package being couriered by parcel force. It simply never showed up... When I contacted them they said it *had* been delivered and they had a signature so therefore their job was done. I explained and showed proof, that at the time of thier claimed deivery I was out of the country in our India office, and herefore couldn't possibly have signed for it. They posted me a copy of the signature (some scrawl that didn't even look like a word) This coversation went back and forth with them saying someone else at that address must've signed for it, I countered by explaining that I live alone.... back and forth. The end result was that I was told that since I was the receiver, I had no rights anyway, or claims to them, and that the sender would have to start some kind of claim. After a while, he said he'd done all he could and that they'd said there was no case, and felt he'd done everything he needed to, (he didn't put it that way, but that was the crux of it) and that was that. I put the £200 down to experience, and don't use couriers unless I absolutely *have* to. Buyers, you need to know that *you* have nothing but the goodwill of the sender, if your parcel goes missing, and that *you* are completely without insurance or protection, unless I guess you make a claim in court against the sender for the money back. I dunno how hard that would be or how much it might cost.... Maybe my sender was unscrupulous enough to have got the claim money back then just not sent it. I just know I never got anything but a whole mess of frustration and bile from that deal. (This wasn't a music related product, I trust people better on the basschat forums) Can anyone else tell me where I'm missing something, cos that deal still bothers me to this day, and I'd love to feel more secure when I buy things... Edit: Ah SO glad your experience wasn't the same as mine buddy! Your bass turned up! Brilliant. Maybe my nieghbors aren't as honest as yours! Who knows? But I'm sure glad your story turned out to have a happy ending! Andy

SOLD Warwick Thumb Bolt On 4 String - Back up for sale SOLD
GremlinAndy replied to King Tut's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='desmondpot' post='1039151' date='Nov 27 2010, 07:03 PM']It's the just-a-nut 2, and yes, I think it's the angular one with the tabs that are prone to breaking. I think the 3s are supposed to be much better.[/quote] Aye. I can recommend replacing the 2's with 3's. The angular 2's are simply horrible. John Shuker changed mine to 3's which I bought from Thomann. Best few quid I ever spent. -
SOLD Warwick Thumb Bolt On 4 String - Back up for sale SOLD
GremlinAndy replied to King Tut's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='desmondpot' post='1038397' date='Nov 26 2010, 10:56 PM']Sold! To me!! So what's all this nonsense about modern Warwick necks being thick then? This thing feels like my sterling. S'lovely. Top quality fret work too. Not too keen on the Just-a-nuts-poo, though. I think i'll be replacing that one.[/quote] Is the just-a-nut one of the really angular ones? I found that I was hurting my hand (the side of my index finger) on the sharp ones. Had them replaced on both my thumb basses with the newer roundy edged replacement and I never hurt myself on the nut ever since. -
why does no one buy anything on this site
GremlinAndy replied to geofio's topic in General Discussion
Be patient dude. Times are hard at the moment. Not everyone has cash lying around, plus there's a possibility that if something isn't selling, it may be that the potential buyers are not considering it to be enough of a bargain. (ie over priced.) within the last 6 months I have bought from basschat the following, ...an Epifany 3x10, an Eden 2x10 and a really nice high-end Shuker 6 string. There's probably more going on, on basschat than you're aware. -
Love that bass! Would be SUPER proud to own/play it myself. I agree it might take a bit of balls but if you wear pajamas, or a smoking jacket it'd be perfectly camoflaged. "Niiiiice". PM me if you ever wanna sell

[quote name='leloupa' post='1025079' date='Nov 15 2010, 07:47 PM']just curious.. why isnt there any intrest at all ? .. Is it too cheap ? ..too expensive ? i cant believe its still there personally, MTD's are among the best basses in the world. Maybe all you guys are looking for rip-off Fender junk or what ? 25 years ago i started with a Fender, sometimes i play a Fender in my search for a nostalgic 'coming home' kind of feeling but after playing a Fender for 1 minute i realise that they are just lousy basses with an oversized dead sounding body. I think i'll withdraw this, i dont need the money anyway. It will give myself a better feeling just to give it away for free to someone who would die to own a bass like this.[/quote] Well... £1300 is a lot of money (regardless of the value of the bass) so there are only going to be a limited number of people with that kind of cash... ...and for those with the cash, there are a LOT of great basses with very modest price tags at the moment. ...and you're in Belgium which means anyone interested, has no-chance to try it which is not ideal for an expensive bass. And being in Belgium just adds shipping onto the price. Plus difficulty if the buyer is dissapointed. It may be one, or all of these reasons. ...or maybe it's overpriced. I dunno. I was interested enough to look myself, but will probably keep looking for something for a while longer. Ironically I may be in the market for a clunky old Fender if I can see the right one. But it's a buyers market at the moment so I'll sit tight for a while I reckon. Good luck with the sale. I would suggest patience. I'm sure the right person will come along, but you may have to wait.

[quote name='Meenie' post='945070' date='Sep 3 2010, 11:35 PM']I'm putting my Trace Elliot 4x10 up for sale on Ebay this weekend but it has no plate on it telling me the Ohms or Output. People are gonna want to know these things obviously. I know there is/was a website somewhere with loads of old Trace stuff and the specs but i cant seem to find it. Any help would be much appreciated. Its a mid nineties one, cube shaped with the red stripes across the front in between the top and bottom pairs of speakers if that helps? Thats all i have to go on.[/quote] well, are you sure the speakers in it are original? The best way would be to take a look inside and work out the ohms from what it says on the labels, and how they're wired. There's plenty of material which explains that, and it's fairly straightforward really... If you don't know the history of the cab, it's the only way you can be sure. I hope that's helpful buddy.

[quote name='Muzz' post='934154' date='Aug 23 2010, 08:45 PM']Oh my Lord - [i]2[/i] x 1515Ls? I thoughtI had enough headroom to kill small animals with one...are they 8 ohm or 4? What are you driving them with? +about a zillion on their rock credentials, size, and weight - I even had the guitarist offering to carry mine from the van at the last gig...[/quote] They are 4 ohm each. I use a powersoft Digam 3002 which gives 1500 watt at 2ohm each side. (I also have 2x 21012L's too, and they are awesome. But right now I'm preferring the older school (no tweeter) sound of the 15s.)

I recently tried out a small but powerful PA/powered monitor by Dynacord. It was *VERY* impressive. It was a better sounding active cab than any of the other gear I got to try out, but here's the downside. ...It was 3 times the price of the others. I dunno about this particular amp, but if the price is right, I'd have no worries buying it myself, based on my limited experience of the brand. I hope that helps...

Very rare Zon VB4 in immaculate condition - SOLD pending usual stuff
GremlinAndy replied to molan's topic in Basses For Sale
I'd be all over this if I wasn't waiting for delivery of a Zon myself. I will just add that if you wanted to buy a Zon new, there is a 6month waiting list and mine has been overdue for 3 month now. So when these come up for sale, it's a worthwhile proposition if you're interested. Or like me, it'll be a year long wait... -
[quote name='thumperbob 2002' post='591530' date='Sep 6 2009, 05:41 PM']Heres my 1212L and 1515L schroeder rig- Marshall Amp is hardly lightweight but my Markbass does great with either cab- just not both of them as they go to 2 ohms- 4 ohms each [attachment=32313:schroeder_rig_1.jpg] [attachment=32314:Schroeder_rig_2.jpg] Best sound ever- and I can carry each cab at once!! Bob[/quote] The other day I used my 2 1515L's stacked on their side, to create as close to a vertical stack as Schro's allow do, with their 2nd angled speaker, and they were truly astounding for the rock music I was playing (Thumb bass through a Sans Amp for the grind.) The sound was awesome and I had more room for volume than you can even imagine. For dirty rock they were better than my 2x 21012L's which have more clear top end (The 1515L's have no tweeter in them but for the rock stuff, they sounded great) I personally reccommend Schroeder (I also own an Epi 310, and 212, which are FANTASTIC cabs, but for volume, size and weight, the Schro's win easily (It's hard to imagine they contain *2* 15's because they aren't any bigger than most 1x15's and are smaller than some compact 15's)) But you should try them out before you buy. As has been stated on here often, your preferred tone is very personal thing.
