  1. I've played it briefly and it's very nice indeed. Not quite Stingray in feel or tone - but that's not a criticism. It is it's own thing - a custom built instrument with Stingray as a starting point. Jonathan is an absolute top guy too.
  2. [quote name='bottomfeed' post='1213843' date='Apr 28 2011, 02:30 PM']nice bumps!.... what's the SFX micro fuzz like?... is it modeled on a Tonebender?[/quote] Cheers! I'm afraid I can't comment as I don't know the Tonebender. There are some sound samples on the SFX website: [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=micro_fuzz"]http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=micro_fuzz[/url] They are built by Silent Fly who is a member here. It's beautifully made and is hugely fuzzy. My Micro fuzz doesn't have the mid frequency switch that you see on the current models. You're welcome to come over and try it if you're near Crystal Palace, South London.
  3. No idea if this has been posted already, but this thread could do with a bump anyway....
  4. The bridges around 1994-95 had bolts in place of the string mute/spring/thumbscrew assembly. They can be retro-fitted and now with the Classic series they are available again. I bought my mutes/springs from Mark at Bass Direct. The bridge needs to come off to fit them. They cost me all of £25 delivered
  5. Hi Skippy, Thanks for that. In a week where a few BC member's integrity has been called into question it's good to get the thumbs up! Bump for today:
  6. [quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='1196376' date='Apr 11 2011, 11:26 PM']Oh good lord! How much is that worth?![/quote] They've got a '58 Precision in slightly less mint condition for $16500, and a mint '63 Jazz for $25000!
  7. Hello All, I've a few pedals for sale that haven't found their way onto my pedalboard permanently. These were all bought from fellow BCers. They're all good but ultimately not to my taste. Chunk Systems Octavius Squeezer - Very good condition, no box or manual. Velcro strip on back - [b]Sold.[/b] Electro Harmonix Bass Micro Synth - the older 24v version, not the smaller XO version. Good condition with power supply, box and manual. Modified for true bypass by the previous owner. Velcro strip on back - [b]Sold[/b] MXR M188 Bass Auto Q - pedal itself is in very good condition but the plastic battery compartment cover is broken and doesn't "snap" in place. A bit of gaffer tape or velcro will do the job. Battery clip itself is fine. Box and info sheet included. Velcro on back - [b]Sold[/b] SFX Micro Fuzz - I bought this from dannybuoy last week but it's not the tone I'm after. Very good condition, no box. Velcro on back. [b]Sold.[/b] Any questions please ask. Cheers!

  8. I got an email from Jules yesterday. The band have found their new bass player. I get the feeling that might have been advertised on other sites before he posted on BC. The search continues......

    SOLD

    What are you after? (and as I type this I can see the usual MM suspects reading this topic )
  10. That's not a Series 2 or an S2. It looks more like an Empathy (though I'm no expert in all Statii). Head over to www.statii.com. There's a resource page there from which I'm sure you'll be able to identify this bass. Then get a good idea of its worth comparing similar on here and on ebay. Good luck. Looking on statii myself I'd say it was most likely a Series 1. Which came a long time after the original graphite necked Series II! This is not a graphite necked bass obviously, but one of the cheaper wooden necked models.
