[quote name='steve' timestamp='1322525347' post='1452284'] Hi Chris, if you decide to sell and split your rig, can you give me first dibs on the Mesa 2 x 10 pls? Oh and my wife wants the bass playing pig! [/quote] Tell Mrs Steve that Jazz Pig is going nowhere (he actually doubles for me at sessions and does a far better job). To be honest Steve I wasn't thinking of letting the cabs go, it was really the size and the expense of the amps that was the main factor, but looking at the size of the whole thing and being honest about how often I use it in its entirety, it's a possibility so I'll certainly keep you in mind C

Anyone have any views/experience on the old (non-tube) pre-amp verses the newer tube version? Chris

[quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1321890704' post='1444091'] So much for a Rick being a one trick pony,great upright sound. [/quote] Too many people judge Rics without ever trying one -
[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1319493832' post='1414983'] Much better speed for me now on all computers, thanks chaps C [/quote] Went bad for me for about a month but the last three days it seems to be fine. Speed is good, functionality is crap (no emails, searches don't work, code al over posts etc), but at least i can read and reply now C

I'm in the fortuitous position of playing a Aguilar DB659 pre through a Mesa Boogie Strategy 400 Stereo power amp, both with very nice tubes. As I'm sure you can imagine, the sound is to die for, but it's a lot to carry, especially if I'm doubling on DB and electric bass. I'm therefore in the market for a trade for something of similar quality and less power (the Mesa is LOUD). The trade-bait would need to be all-tube and in one unit. Powerhouse 2x10 C

I'll bring someone to help me get it into the van as well then All joking aside, does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that has one in stock, I'm getting the feeling that this is on instrument I really will need to try - and through my rig - before I buy C

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1322259078' post='1448815'] Well, at the moment, that's not until March 2nd. [/quote] I'll bring the smoke grenades and the van

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1322258587' post='1448808'] Good luck with that Chris, there can't be many of them around. I'm really enjoying mine although I haven't gigged it yet. [/quote] Must come along to your next gig Dave

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1322250823' post='1448712'] I have heard a very well respected luthier say that he was less than impressed with the East P-Bass circuit (he thought that it was too 'fiddly')! However, I have a East j-retro deluxe in a jazz, which is just awesome..... [/quote] It's a very elegant solution to a complex problem, and therefore required an innovative approach to the controls when compared with circuits for basses that have more space/control options. Once you get used to it, the P-Retro is however an intuitive and versatile preamp.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1322246838' post='1448657'] Yes. That is all. [/quote] +100 See previous threads on the issue. There is no better Xmas present for your Precision

[quote name='dave.c' timestamp='1322172127' post='1447655'] Keep hitting the little arrows by accident as they are just where I scroll on my phone, don't have a clue who or what I have liked or neg'd so apologies, I only just realised that I was doing it and had no intention of using the system, seems a bit silly to me! [/quote] That post made me laugh so much it was worth waiting 60 seconds to reply! I love the idea that somewhere in internetland there are really elated members thrilled that their opinion on, for example, Flea versus Mark King met with such a positive response, whilst elsewhere others are phoning their therapists to discuss why their perfectly rational POV on the matter is meeting with such negativity I would Pos it

Acoustic Image amp - any good for electric bass?
Beedster replied to Clarky's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Precision with flats, AI Contra II + Sansamp VT you'd think you had a B-15 behind you -
Help with broken bridge screw would be much appreciated
Beedster replied to Beedster's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks guys. Unfortunately the screw is broken a few mm below the surface of the wood so pliers or similar are not and option. Having looked a some DIY-style internet content last night I think a screw extractor is the best bet. I'll keep you posted. Having said that, any other suggestions warmly received Chris -
Eko B4 fretless acoustic bass with new K&K p/u and Warwick gigbag

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1322081165' post='1446377'] Back on eBay again ? -- [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EKO-B4-fretless-acoustic-bass-guitar-/180761312863?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BUA%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D180758941287%252B180758941287%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4405302228490261060#ht_500wt_1186"]http://www.ebay.co.u...0#ht_500wt_1186[/url] [/quote] Need the space to be honest, lovely bass but big. I won't be too bothered if it doesn't sell though. Gotta love eBay, it's listed as 'collection only', but nearly every message I've had is along the lines "How much is postage to.......", as well as the usual "My 7 year old son really would like this for Xmas. With that in mind would you accept £50?" EDIT And now sold!
