DAMN! I knew I should have gone with my first thoughts (hence the illogical numbering of my choices); now that I've seen/heard the other thread I go back to my original choice that in fact #2 is the DeArmond!

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='839376' date='May 16 2010, 11:18 PM']Best way to settle what should stay and what should go. Here you have 3 sound samples the basses are Overwater Evolution 5 strung with flats tuned ADGCF, 35 inch scale. Dearmond Starfire with Darkstar pickups with 50-110 flats tuned DGCF, 30 inch scale, hollowbody. Hofner 185/E2 with 50-110 flats tuned DGCF, 30 inch scale. So the questions to answer are 1. Which is which. 2. Which sounds the most vintage. 3. Which sounds the best. You answers will influence what I sell. Thanks[/quote] I'll stick my neck out... #3 Overwater #1 Starfire #2 Hofner They all sound as vintage(ish) as each other. I personally prefer #1 I have to confess I changed my mid over #1 and #2 at least once! Saying all of that I could stick flats on one of my basses and get it to sound slightly different depending on where I plucked and my technique; so I hope this isn't all one bass and it's a con.

Everything that you need to get yourself going! [size=4]20th Anniversary Squier Strat[/size] Almost pristine condition for an 8yr old guitar and recently restrung so fresh and ready to go. Made in China; I know that the Chinese Squier basses are stonking quality and I have to say this has the same feel of quality. It looks like the body is Alder (don't think it's Ash and too much grain for Basswood) with a nice Rosewood fingerboard neck, I also have the trem bar. The guitar is well set-up and the frets are clean and polished. The neck plate is engraved with the 20th Anniversary legend. [size=4]Marshall G215R CD[/size] Guitar combo with 2x8" speakers and 2x15w output. Features a stereo chorus facility and reverb. Also has a CD input to allow you to play along to CD’s. Only ever used in the house by my mate's son, makes a cracking practice/home amp and could at a push do smaller gigs. [size=4][color="#000000"]KORG AX1500G[/color][/size] Boxed and complete with the original power supply and instructions. The new TONEWORKS AX1500G is packed with 56 different effects and gives you everything from ultra-realistic models of great stomp boxes, amps and speaker cabinets to essential effects like chorus, reverb, delay, pitch shift and more. Features: · 48 preset and 48 user multi-effects programs with up to 8 effects at once. · Two selectable channels per program, just like a channel-switching amp. · Expression pedal for real time effects control. · Super easy to use. Create the sounds you want by turning a few knobs. · Illuminated display for excellent visibility—even on stage. · Phrase Trainer makes it easy to learn riffs by ear. · Sample & Play function lets you record a phrase and loop or reverse it. · Road-rugged metal body and parts. · Korg auto-chromatic tuner and metronome built in. · KORG’s proprietary REMS technology creates the most amazingly realistic digital models of popular effects, amps and speaker cabinets. £175 for the lot

Peavey Databass 'very cheap'!

As it happens I was going to bid but had to go out... and my wife's down in Leicester today! -

[quote name='Geddys nose' post='838499' date='May 15 2010, 10:36 PM']Apart from the Typo in the price of the Rh450 (£11099 ) the Bundled 2x RS410, RH450/pedal seems way too cheap might be worth a punt for someone.[/quote] It does seem daft that you can get the amp and a PAIR of 4x10's cheaper than the amp and any two other cabs. Methinks when you enquire it'll be a single 4x10, another typo from BD... unless they agree to honour the deal!

Fender Precisions - they're fantastic
warwickhunt replied to Ham fisted Bass's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Clarky' post='838406' date='May 15 2010, 08:29 PM']Hey WH, didn't you own that PJ (and sell it) once before? I remember there was a debate about the 70s positioning of the J p/u. Nice looking bass[/quote] Tis true and I got offered it back and collected it just yesterday! I've been looking for a P bass to fit in with a project and as I was potentially going to go to the expense of a used RW P bass (is that an oxymoron) I thought that getting this back made more sense... till a cheaper, lighter option came along today! I make no apologies for succumbing to GAS as I don't have 'many' other vices. I should add that this USA just tips the scales at 9lb so it's hardly an anchor but a CV makes more sense as I can take it into work and not worry about the kids giving it some character dings. -

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='838374' date='May 15 2010, 07:46 PM']I'm confused. The adverts for Active Rockbass Corvettes say that they have active MEC J/J pickups. (or at least some of the adverts do in case there are different versions). Are these actually just passive pickups matched to active EQ?[/quote] I have to say you look spot on with this one. I'm not an officianado on Rockbasses as they are off the bottom of my radar (hope that doesn't sound snobbish, just a statement of fact); however, a quick search on-line does seem to show that at least some of the Rockbasses do have active MEC pups and an active EQ/preamp. I'd be frankly stunned if a Rockbass had the full on active MECs that appear in the top of the range NT basses made in Germany, if that were the case then there'd be very little point in EVER buying the electronics from Warwick direct... you may as well buy a Rockbass, rip the guts from it and sell the skeleton! Hmmmm time for some research methinks!

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='837642' date='May 14 2010, 09:23 PM']I've not seen people using MEC electronics as upgrades before. Not that I claim that means much, I haven't looked that hard. I wonder if someone has cannibalised a Rockbass.[/quote] A Rockbass wouldn't have active MECs. As to whether it 'is' an upgrade... Yes! You'll not see MECs on anything other than Warwicks as MEC were bought out many moons ago by Warwick owner Hans Peter Wilfer. Pure conjecture on my part but allegedly (covering my backside ) when Warwick were made to pay full whack for their EMG pups (couldn't possibly comment on if this had anything to do with a certain Warwick / Spector dispute over licensing for the Streamer), Warwick started producing a fine 'representation' of an EMG pup in house - MEC. I've owned basses with MEC and EMG and I'd be hard pushed to tell the difference in a blind test. To buy an MEC pup direct from Warwick will set you back as much, if not more than ANY Seymour Duncan, EMG etc. In fact 129 Euro (per pup), the cheapest 3 way active MEC circuit is 289 euro! HOWEVER, I am assuming it is an active preamp as those pups do look like the genuine MEC active pups and not the passive dynamic correction jobbies. The caveat being that the bridge appears to be off a much cheaper Warwick than I would imagine the electronics appear to have come off.

High end gear - are we kidding ourselves?
warwickhunt replied to niceguyhomer's topic in Amps and Cabs
It's the law of diminishing returns! Once you get passed a certain point, what you spend then makes less 'real-life' sense. I gig with my Thunderfunk and a pair of Aggie DB112s (cabs used value £550ish) and rehearse with the TF and a tatty Black Widow equipped Peavey 1x15 PA cab (cab used value £30ish). However, would I swap my Thunderfunk/Aggies for a cheapie amp and the 1x15 PA cab... No! -
