The switch seems no different to any other switch on any other pedal.[/quote] I've got to say that I agree with bartelby that the casing feels as solid as a solid thing and the switch is pretty robust and solid!

Sorry I was completely distracted by the fact that Spiderman was dancing perfectly in time to the track!

I'm biased but I'd say look at the Aggie 1x12 cabs. Doubled up the DB112s make a formidable noise. Even though I use a Thunderfunk and rate it very highly you're unlikely to find one around so I would suggest matching the Aggie cabs with the 500w Aggie head. However, it has to be said for that kind of budget most of us could go on to list a whole host of alternatives and any one would probably be a stonker! Good luck in your quest, it should be fun.

In true BC style... 'if only it had been in a different colour/short I'd have had this straight off you!'

PM Howie 'the bass doc', he should be able to sort that for you... not sure of cost but a PM will give you a yay or nay!

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='817323' date='Apr 24 2010, 04:50 PM']It looks like it spent a week on the wall in your shop, Uncle H. [/quote] BC quote of the decade for those that knew Howie's place!

I've wondered whether a wet wipe would actually take away the 'patina' or if, as the seller suggests, it is actually the finish that has reacted and it is now fixed this colour. Oddly enough I quite like the colour though I am adverse to Fender basses that are a natural finish. I do think it is staggering to imagine that it is actually white!

Now that's attention to detail... the guy even wears matching strides when he's working on a bass!

[quote name='daveybass' post='817151' date='Apr 24 2010, 12:46 PM']Hmmm, even more debatable is the fact that he had done a buy it now on an auction for £350 about an hour before it was re-listed (the auction which you won) and I bought it, he had said that as he was new to e-bay that he didn't have a clue what to do as I hadn't paid for it instantly and so re-listed.Probably realised that I may have the steal of the century Have paid by paypal so hopefully this will turn up shortly, and will let you know if it all goes pete tong..is it just a caae of reporting to e-bay and paypal if I have been scammed? Cheers Dave[/quote] So you've 'also' won it and HAVE paid via paypal... but this was done after the OP had already offered the seller £500 which he declined! I'd not be expecting the bass to turn up if that is the case.

With the smoking ban firmly in place we may never again see this kind of mojo on a bass... [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=644365"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=644365[/url]

[quote name='lowdown' post='816842' date='Apr 24 2010, 12:07 AM']Good luck with the hunt.[/quote] Have I volunteered for something I don't know about!

Is the speaker grill secure? Sometimes folk assume the worst when they hear a noise and go looking for the most complicated (expensive) answer, when in fact it can be the mundane and simple; so check everything is screwed down tight!

I also remember the name from 'Bassist'... wonder what happened to Gibson Keddie from said mag?

How is this CV P bass working out then?

[quote name='modulusq6' post='815628' date='Apr 22 2010, 11:43 PM']I don't see the point. What's it doing that my Pitchblack isn't ? The Pitchblack being £30 or thereabouts cheaper too. Isn't it just a gimmick ?[/quote] Someone who owns a Free/£5 PlanetWaves tuner could well ask the same question of your Pitchblack! What does it do that their Free/£5 tuner doesn't... they all simply give you a reference so that you can tell if your guitar/bass is in tune.

[quote name='daz' post='815668' date='Apr 23 2010, 01:57 AM']Famous round here is he?[/quote] Our friend has lots of history, a lot of it focused on one particular long running incident with a CAR jazz but if you search either his ebay user-name or '2-gnome-attic' you'll find some stuff.

[quote name='Clarky' post='815588' date='Apr 22 2010, 10:55 PM']without even looking ... let me guess ..... our good friend tune-o-matic? [/quote] ... got it in one!
