  1. My laptop doesn't like that.... to be fair, it is over a hundred in laptop years.
  2. P, J, Ray5 and all the other abbreviated terms are usually omitted when using the search function... which means if I'm looking for one of them I have to scan all the threads using my own bleedin' eyeballs... the nerve.
  3. Sigh. I may have owned one of these cabs once upon a time, as part of a pair. I sold mine reluctantly and I would buy them back if a had a regular gig. GLWTS.
  4. Yeah, if somebody could just buy this ASAP and remove the temptation from me to plunge myself into debt for an attractive bass I don't need [b]but want[/b], that would be much appreciated.
  5. MJs ‘Bille Jean’ segued into Wally Coco’s ‘Message to Society’ then Rolling Stones ‘Miss You’ which segues into Cake’s version of ‘I Will Survive’ The idea in my head being something high tempo, melodic and that moves around the fretboard. I always play the same songs so as better to gauge the difference between instruments, for me, just noodling makes it harder to compare. E2A, and some scales obviously.
  6. [list] [*]The sound of classic studio optical compression of the 60's and 70's at your feet! [*]The first compressor pedal not to suck the life out of your tone. [*]Operation is fairly straightforward. There are two inputs on the front side of the unit: a 1/4" input jack on the right and a 1/4" output jack on the left with a battery-ground switch on the input jack. [*]There are two controls on the unit: compress and volume, plus a foot switch to bypass the effect, and an LED to indicate effect operation. [*]On the side there is a trim pot to set the overall gain of the unit. [*]Compress affects the amount of gain reduction (compression) of the input signal. [*]Turning this clock wise will give you up to 30dB of gain reduction (depending on input gain). [*]Please note that the Compulators max gain is 26dB (see Trim Pot) so in some circumstances if your instrument is very hot you could achieve less than unity gain if you turn up the compress knob too much. [*]Volume increases and decreases the output volume of the Compulator. Use this for level matching between the effected and unaffected signal. [*]Trim pot sets the gain of the compressor's pre-amplifier. If distortion occurs turn this down until the signal is clean. [*]The unit is set at the factory at 20dB of gain which is perfect for most instruments. If you have weaker pickups or want to push the envelope turn it up to its max gain 26dB. [*]Power supply: 9 volts DC. Either external or internal. For internal power, use a 9 volt battery. To access, remove the four screws on the sides of the unit and pull apart. Note: battery must have at least 7 volts for unit to work! External power supply using mini plug, tip positive, 9 volt DC regulated (100 milliamp or more). [/list]
  7. Willie was an inspiration for me to first pick up the bass guitar. A great songwriter and great bassist. Good work.
  8. Thank you AntLockyer. Now £75 delivered in the UK. I think that's it. Any lower and I feel I'll have to keep it, or find somewhere else to sell. I'd consider swapping it for a decent hard case for a Fender Jazz. A Hiscox in good nick would be reasonable.
  9. I've noticed my foot tapping involuntarily recently. I wonder where the noise is coming from, look down, and it's my right foot spasming with the music. A bit like when a dogs leg moves when you scratch it's sweet spot on their back. I want a foot pedal cabasa.
  10. Lovely looking instrument. Very reminiscent of one with a black pickguard that got away from me in the nineties. Good luck with the sale.
  11. Tough crowd eh? It may be a little tatty looking and might have been technically surpassed by shinier newer models but it's still a classic pedal. Heres a link to the ovnilab review... [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/compulator.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.c...ompulator.shtml[/url]
  12. £80 delivered is a stone cold bargain.
  13. No interest? What about £90 delivered?
  14. Classic compression pedal. Bought second hand from this parish a few years back and criminally underused by myself because I couldn't be bothered buying a decent power supply when I only own this pedal and a tuner. Used it live for a few shows and the engineer loved it. I don't gig anymoreand it doesn't get used, it sits forgotten in a box which is a shame. [b]£75 delivered, [/b](I accept Paypal if you pay the fees), in the UK. You're welcome to try before you buy if local to Plymouth. I've bought things and sold things via this forum many times. Thanks for looking.
  15. Sold George a cab today. Thank you for an easy, swift transaction. Hope you enjoy it.
  16. I'm starting a thread for kevvo66 who bought a bass cab from me. He deserves a positive feedback thread because, in a forum that can be fraught with feeble minded tyre-kickers, he made it a decisive and positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. Nice to meet you Kev. Hope you enjoy the cab.
  17. The second cab is on hold, pending sale.
  18. Now only one cab remaining. Thanks Kev.
  19. ...aaand [b]one is provisionally sold again, [/b]pending payment. Only one cab remaining ATM. Apologies to those who only expressed an interest in a pair.
  20. [quote name='kevvo66' timestamp='1404983105' post='2497472'] Hiya Shambo, is second still up for sale? [/quote] Looks like [b]both are back up for sale[/b]. I might be tempted into a trade for something MIJ Fender (but not a Jazz) with some money coming from me for the right instrument.
  21. [quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1404789633' post='2495708'] Vouching for Mr Shambo and that he's a great person to deal with. GLWTS pal [/quote] Thanks Grae. Hope you're keeping well.
