  1. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1321310903' post='1437782'] There is a odd loophole here though, because the ebay forum tells you to stick your own ebay auction link in here, which then wants a price- should that be the price that the ebay auction is at now? or later? or that the guy wants for the bass, or that price minus ebay fees.... [/quote] I'd say it is the price that the guy wants to sell it for! Generally folks who have stuff on ebay for a BIN 'should' consider that if they sold it here it would save them 10-15% of their final sale price and adjust the sale price on here accordingly... but that is entirely up to the individual.
  2. [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1321206513' post='1436464'] Cash sale is my preference, and every day i'm prepared to accept less! [/quote] Cash I have... just tell me how much it is going down each day so that I can calculate when to give you a call!
  3. Be aware that the cost of diesel against petrol these days means that there isn't a significant saving in fuel costs unless you do a lot of miles; it used to be that diesel made sense as it was cheaper than petrol and you generally got more mpg but not strictly true now! Also be aware that some insurance companies are a pita with regard to a 'private' vehicle for day to day use, I had grief as many insurers wouldn't accept that it was my daily transport for me as it was easier to carry my dogs; they were adamant that I needed business use and they wanted to know what business I was using it for! So I'd suggest checking with a few insurers before you dive in... oh and if it is your main mode of transport don't be tempted to just let mates pile in the back to get to and from places the law will hammer you.
  4. Top bloke. Though we've communicated loads via PMs on various things, this is the first meet to do a trade and Chris is a pleasure to deal with; enjoy the Warwick.
  5. Looking at your equipment list this might seem a silly question but... are you ONLY interested in vintage and/or Fender stuff?
  6. [quote name='12stringbassist' timestamp='1321181433' post='1436075'] My favourite band of all time. If someone was starting a tribute, this 12stringbassist would be there like a shot. [/quote] I am! Unfortunately for you that's me doing the bass bit.
  7. Well counting down till I see them at Glasgow and the up coming gig has me starting a Cheap Trick tribute band... small fan base but for a short life-span project I'm excited. Now where's those 12 string basses when you want one!
  8. The deals that used to appear on ebay for Hartke strings (sets of 3) were pretty cheap and the strings weren't half bad!
  9. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1320774388' post='1431277'] slightly off topic.... in a warwick whats the difference between (roughly) between the MEC's and the brats. Barts seem to be so so popular as an upgrade. [/quote]From the off, I have to say that this is unscientific, subjective and anecdotal and just my humble opinion! I used to have a fretless SSI that had MECs which I swapped out for EMGs... and couldn't tell a jot of difference (preamp remained original Warwick MEC)! I then (within a week) took out the EMGs and fitted Barts and I'd say that the Barts sounded 'darker' with a more pronounced low mid tone which certainly suited the Warwick BUT you'd have to take into account that I'd not changed strings (used the same set which had been on and off the bass at least 3 times and may well have mellowed in tone from when they were new with the MECs), however still taking into account that the strings could be a factor AND I'd not heard the MECs for a couple of weeks, I'd still say the Barts had more character (maybe something that some folks wouldn't want?). If I don't flog these Barts they may well end up in my red SSI but I've not been fussed to go to the trouble yet, especially as I'll likely be selling the SSI at some point in the near future (I have another Streamer that I play more frequently).
  10. In the original box with instructions and power supply. The various functions etc can be explored online but basically: Main features • Korg’s modeling technology provides detailed and powerful modeling sounds. • 56 types of modeling effect variations are built-in, and a maximum of eight types of effect can be used simultaneously. • 48 preset programs (3 x 16 banks) and 48 rewritable user programs (3 x 16 banks) are built-in. • You can switch between effect channels (A, to change the combination of the drive amp effect and the cabinet effect without switching programs. • Use the effect block select knobs to instantly switch the effects for each of the five effect blocks (DRIVE-AMP, CABINET, MODULATION, PEDAL, AMBIENCE). • You can use the expression pedal to control eleven types of pedal effects in realtime. • In individual mode you can use foot switches to turn each effect on/off independently. • The Sample & Play function lets you record a phrase that you play (for a maximum of 8 seconds), and then operate the pedal to play back the phrase. • The built-in Phrase Trainer function lets you record sound from an audio device or a guitar performance (maximum 16 seconds), and play it back at a slower speed without changing the pitch. • A metronome is built in for practicing convenience. • Built in tuner mute function for on stage tuning. • An AUX IN jack is provided so that you can play along with a connected audio device. • Use the auto chromatic tuner to tune your instrument when the AX1500G is bypassed or muted. • The LCD (liquid crystal display) features an intuitive visual interface. • The LCD is backlit for easy visibility even in dark locations. I can take pics but it'd look like any other AX1500G that you see! £50
  11. [quote name='aldude' timestamp='1320707025' post='1430468'] Still, I would like a P/J set, and they don't seem to be anywhere (apart from on Bartolini's site). [/quote]I have a PJ set (new and boxed) that were meant to go into a bass... but didn't! I'd sell those to fund a pair of Soapbars for my Bolin.
  12. [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1320344954' post='1425709'] You are right but nothing to stop one from increasing the depth, no? [/quote] Absolutely agree, it's just that some folks may have thought the pup would just drop straight in and 'may' have been disappointed if it wouldn't.
  13. [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1320344265' post='1425701'] I have a Seymour Duncan SMB-4A unused in box, with mount screws. £90 RRP. £60 posted. Also a EBMM sterling pickups. Its from 1994 and is a little aged on the magnets, but is sonically sound. Ceramic 3 coil pickup. I think you can wire it however you would like (parallel, serires, single coil)and [u]can be retro fitted to stingrays.[/u] No idea for price so... £80 posted. Both ono, no trades need the dosh. Bank transfer prefered. Thanks. [/quote] I could be wrong (often am ) but isn't the depth of the Sterling and Stingray pups different! I've no idea whether the Ray is deepest in which case it could be the case that it's the Sterling that can't take a Ray pup but there is a nagging doubt in my mind that they are different depths... just a nagging doubt, not fact!
  14. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1320302900' post='1424953'] Why wouldn't you get back what you paid for it 3 months earlier? In my experience [b]decent[/b] basses don't really lose much after the initial depreciation from new unless it's been badly treated. In fact the older they get the more they seem to be worth. IMO of course [/quote] I could be wrong but people may be referring to the fact that some folks buy 'New' basses and expect to get back exactly what they paid for them (either immediately or within the next few years); I concur that after the initial depreciation, most basses don't depreciate that much and some can appreciate!
  15. I used to gig with a 250w 2x10 H&K Bassbase combo and it had no problems keeping me in the mix in a 'pub' Rock band setting. However, though I managed fine, it would have been nice to have had more headroom/drivers, so I'd never say never but it does depends on the quality of the gear that you are using. If you are considering going to a stereo/twin stack, then I'd seriously consider [u]all[/u] of your options before going down that route as there are a multitude of ways of being heard effectively.
  16. [quote name='Jondeeman' timestamp='1320241888' post='1424187'] ... seriously must be worth more than this! [/quote] Yes but the auction has days to go, so the price may well be down in the dumps right now but could end anywhere... including staying at the price it is, I suppose!
  17. What sort of music? You could have a quick look here and get some ideas... [url="http://www.onthecasemusic.co.uk/gigs"]http://www.onthecasemusic.co.uk/gigs[/url] If you want to know what a particular band or venue is like, give me a shout as I may know them/it.
  18. Do a search on the forum and you'll uncover views re. NKRV. However that SSII specifically has been listed and relisted for months now!
  19. Absolute pleasure to deal with and his Aria bass couldn't have been better packaged for delivery... and I mean that it literally could NOT have been packed better by anyone; a bomb-proof box custom built to ship the bass!
  20. LEDs on a 91 bass, however it's unlikely that Warwick would be able to do anything for you (they are a factory fit I assume). You may be better off going to Simms or similar but someone competent with a multimeter may be able to identify if it is an easy fix.
  21. The vertical storage shouldn't have any impact whatsoever, I'd have thought it'd be a completely different reason. How old is the amp? I noted that you are in N Sields (I'm less than 10 miles away), I can put you onto a couple of very good local technicians who could give it a service (which is the least that I'd recommend if you are relying on this whilst on cruise/ferries). Better to be safe than sorry!
  22. Yak! It's blue... he should be offering a discount on the BIN for the colour.
  23. I have to agree with WoT that the whole song is great, first half (non-F1) section is as good as the 2nd half. We used to cover it (putting a twist on it) and when you get to the chorus you can really let rip and do stuff with it, especially if you have imaginative musicians that can go with the flow and use a bit of imagination.
  24. So is this for sale by a BC member or is this in the wrong place?
