  1. [quote name='Brother Jones' post='659543' date='Nov 19 2009, 07:29 PM']Before I managed to find a Sonus on here a couple of years ago, I asked the Gallery for a quote on a new one with exactly the same spec as this. The quoted price was getting on for £2,500. Can't recommend these enough. The necks are amazing - the graphite means the action can get vanishingly low. They're very light and balance really well. They're also very 'unclicky' for a graphite necked bass with a very rich, woody sound. Believe me John, if I had the cash...[/quote] Thanks for the plaudits and I have to agree if you've been put off by graphite necks in the past because they are too 'lively', then this is the bass to convert you. [quote name='Schnozzalee' post='659554' date='Nov 19 2009, 07:38 PM']Thats a cracking price! Oh no way, thats you!! I thought it was Mark Wahlberg with long hair haha (no offence intended). This should be gone very soon.[/quote] Must research M Wahlberg and hereby reserve the right to thank you or call you a twazzer! Oh and if the bass isn't gone very soon I may decide I'm in no hurry to let it go... especially as my Sadowsky is now all but sold!
  2. [quote name='XB26354' post='659515' date='Nov 19 2009, 07:01 PM']You'd also have to ask what happened to the bass to get that kind of damage...[/quote] Likely as not propped against a table/chair/amp and then a slow languid fall sideways whilst owner only has time to think "Argh F*CK! Why didn't I spend £15 on a guitar stand'!
  3. Looks a shabby repair to me (and would the tattoo have been reapplied i.e. non-original) and as I know HJ is looking for an unmolested version... possibly not the best idea. HJ'd end up hating this as it will significantly affect it's long term value as an investment piece! Just my take.
  4. [quote name='JTUK' post='658883' date='Nov 19 2009, 08:52 AM']I am looking forward to pairing up two Ag12's if they sound significantly better that a single. I am happy enough sound-wise with just the one but the gains of having two seems a win-win...plus they both go in my car boot...so a win again..!!![/quote] Honestly you'll be amazed at the difference; greater than the sum of the parts. I'm sure Alex, Bill et al will be able to give the science behind it!
  5. [quote name='giblett123' post='658849' date='Nov 19 2009, 06:33 AM']I've got one & it's the only bass I've kept! a great instrument with top build & it sounds absolutely stunning. This is also a very decent price for one of these, well worth a punt![/quote] Many thanks for the kind (but true) words. I'm waiting to hold a conversation with someone re. buying this... might be better if someone got in quick BEFORE it's replacement is delivered otherwise I might change my mind!
  6. Some numpties that I flagged up with a wrong image a couple of weeks ago (Musicman & Rickie combo of description and pic). I wonder of they are deliberately putting up shonky listings in the hope they scr5w someone or are they just sh1t at listing stuff. Oh and I also queried if there was a member of staff on BC as the listing got changed sharpish when I flagged it up?
  7. [quote name='chris_b' post='657966' date='Nov 18 2009, 11:53 AM']Why don't you take the TF and one cab or just the TF? If you're looking for on stage monitoring in conjunction with FOH then this amp and its DI won't be beaten. I recently did some recording and used the TF DI post EQ with my usual flat-ish live setting. The engineer said it was the best bass sound he'd heard coming into the desk for years.[/quote] It's all about portability and compromise. I never gig with just one cab even if I am going to use the PA so it's a case of 2 Aggies and a TF or a combo with the same speaker displacement but the weight of just ONE Aggie cab! Odd though it may seem these Aggie cabs when combined have a resulting tone greater than the individual parts.
  8. [quote name='alanbass1' post='657787' date='Nov 18 2009, 07:45 AM']This is indeed a nice bass which I traded with Beedster. I purchased this new from the Bass Gallery in April this year so it is only 7 months old from the first purchase.[/quote] Excellent, we now have full provenance!
  9. [quote name='Oldman' post='657780' date='Nov 18 2009, 07:10 AM']I have an immaculate AER Amp 1 Combo and a Roland Sub would you trade your rig for my Rig? Oldman[/quote] Sorry, as stated above I have a replacement gig rig already in possession.
  10. [quote name='Musicman20' post='657657' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:36 PM']Very nice bit of kit, good luck. If I didnt own too much Id be interested in the 1x12s. You opting for the Tecamp combo?[/quote] 'If' the Tecamp does it live for me with PA support then yes BUT if it doesn't equal this rig then the Tecamp goes the journey and I stay with this. House and rehearsal volumes the Tecamp is fine but live is where it matters for me. [quote name='uzzell' post='657667' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:51 PM']I appreciate that you would prefere a combined sale but how much would you take for the cabs if you were to split?[/quote] 'If' I split I'd want whatever the going rate is for these cabs in mint condition with covers.
  11. [quote name='JTUK' post='657748' date='Nov 18 2009, 01:17 AM']P.S. I alway think the passive/active thing on a bass is a get out of jail thing...in that it will still work with the battery flat. This is useful on an active bass, but you wouldn't want to swap around otherwise, IMV[/quote] A popular misconception about Warwick basses! The active/passive push/pull pot only helps in the event of a dead battery on the basses equipped with the $$ system. The active Streamers, Dolphins, Corvettes etc. are not truly passive in 'passive' mode. To test; remove the battery from one of those basses and you get nothing, nada, zilch, they don't work. They require battery juice for the actual pup as well as the preamp EQ.
  12. [s]Not 'absolutely' certain that this is definitely going but I'm running through a PA with bass bins now so I don't 'need' a rig that can fill a pub room with low end, hence my buying a 300w combo and selling this.[/s] Or NOT as the case may be! I'd kick myself if I got rid of this rig... no matter how much more convenient a 2x12 combo would be. Now if TF did a 2x12 neo combo!
  13. [quote name='phsycoandy' post='657510' date='Nov 17 2009, 09:33 PM']Me likey, and would if I hadnt just bought one, Great band leading basses. Buy it![/quote] Cheers Andy, glad you got sorted. [quote name='Beedster' post='657514' date='Nov 17 2009, 09:38 PM']This is an awesome bass, really. I sold this to John at a time when I was moving to fretless. I'd considered defretting it and decided against, hence the sale. It's a truly stunning bass and I'm very tempted to buy it back and do the defret. I might be in touch John Chris[/quote] Ditto Chris... I hope I don't regret this! [quote name='captain black' post='657611' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:03 PM']Really tempted to say I'm interested and can afford this so I can come along and have a go. Think it's my ideal bass. Sadly that would just be p@@sing you about. I'd have to selll the kids to afford this. Good luck with the sale.[/quote] Kids... sell one! costs nowt to knock another one out! (I jest of course) [quote name='Musicman20' post='657616' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:08 PM']Stunning...tempted far too much[/quote] Make it quick before people convince me otherwise.
  14. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='657479' date='Nov 17 2009, 08:55 PM']I've played this and I love it and it's not sunburst or even a Fender.[/quote] Fine testament indeed. [quote name='Brother Jones' post='657480' date='Nov 17 2009, 08:57 PM']I bet this sounds incredible. Hang on, did someone say 'Sonus for sale'? Where?[/quote] It does... and here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=63706&hl=zon"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=63706&hl=zon[/url]
  15. This is 'probably' one of the best PJ basses out there. Superb tone and fantastically well set-up with fresh DR Sunbeam strings on. Not marked or dinged anywhere (not even the headstock) and with only the expected surface swirls on the pickguard from a bit of slap and pop. The colour in the images is a bit pants but it is a kind of see-thru blonde finish but I'll get better pics when it's light (only just reached the decision tonight to sell it) and the batteries are charged for the better camera. Comes complete with a Sadowsky NYC Lite-flite semi hardcase. I'm only selling as my Bolin has taken number one spot and I can't justify having this much money tied up in a bass when I have sourced a cheaper alternative for a 2nd bass (hence my Zon Sonus and Warwick Streamer are also up for sale). If you are local you are more than welcome to come and try it. £1200
  16. [quote name='deaky' post='657367' date='Nov 17 2009, 07:06 PM']So could you attach a Phil Jones Suitcase Extension Cab to it then![/quote] If you are talking ext cab and not combo then yes. You can also connect a combo but not from the speaker out, you'd use the line-out.
  17. [quote name='deaky' post='657333' date='Nov 17 2009, 06:48 PM']Hi all, Is it a possibility to connect a bass cabinet to a Tecamp 112 combo and does it need to be a tecamp cabinet?? Thanks Deaky[/quote] Yes and No in that order! To expand; the combo will have an extension cab output which you link to your other [i][b]8 OHM[/b][/i] cab [u][/u] be sure it is NOT a 4 ohm cab you are linking in.
  18. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='656296' date='Nov 16 2009, 07:37 PM']You shouldn't have linked it from this thread when I linked this thread from that thread, it could rip a hole in the space time continuum.[/quote] Don't worry there'll be a new Doctor along soon who can fix it!
  19. Now available on Basschat! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=67566"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=67566[/url]
  20. The seller ended this listing earlier on today to relist it with a significantly higher 'starting' price of £400 (previously no reserve and a bid price that was sub £100). No guarantee you'd get this for £400 but by the same token, Blade are hardly a household name so this may well get snagged for the starting price!
  21. I like their superalloys but the cost now proves prohibitive!
  22. [quote name='cd_david' post='655117' date='Nov 15 2009, 12:36 PM']Knew it was a mistake as soon as i added it lol [/quote] Nah! It brought a smile to my face and cheered me up no end Dave... now if only the rest of us had the bottle to put up 'blasts from the past'!
  23. [quote name='cd_david' post='655077' date='Nov 15 2009, 11:23 AM']Hi Jamie? I think i remember you from Baker St studios and rehearsals? I used to be in a prog band called Force Majeure and I played bass in Howard Bakers band. Old pic of me on tour with Bakers band, ATB Dave[/quote] Phhhhewww Coffee - keyboard! Now that is some image Dave! I remember Vox Populi from Baker St as well... in fact the band I rehearsed there with (Destiny - Hope to f*ck Dave hasn't got an old picture of us ) had a single as a double header with Vox Populi. Mind that was recorded before I joined. Anyways enough reminiscing, good to have another Geordie on board.
  24. Widest 4 string neck I have ever encountered was the Warwick Dolphin Pro I. Warwick presently state on their site that the nut width is 44mm wide (comparable with a Precision) but I'm sure my 91 bass was '[i][b]way[/b][/i]' wider than that.
  25. Does this have the rolled fingerboard edges and what is the weight? Cheers.
