    IME, the Sansamp is very, very coloured, and will make a remarkable range of basses sound very similar. If you like that sound, it's a Godsend.

    Mark Knopfler's band. I actually got a taste of it earlier in the year and it was every bit as awesome as I'd hoped.

    Beautiful! I used to own an identical one. Loved it - it was a dream to play and the pre is fantastic. Mine was very heavy, though - 9lbs is amazing for one one these! Good luck with the sale...

    What colour did you go for?

[/quote] Nah - it's out on about 50% of my gigs. I've just got that old 'What if?' feeling, and unfortunately it's the only chip I have left...

    Ha ha Nice try.... A few more specs for any interested parties:[list] [*]Custom cast fully adjustable bridge - string-thru body option [*]2 x custom Bill Lawrence pickups with dual poles to aid sustain [*]Each pickup is independently switchable to series (hot'n'fat) / parallel (bite-y and slappy) / single-coil (standard Jazz) [*]In single-coil mode, the coils are exactly in 60s Jazz position [*]Hipshot Ultralite tuners [*]Drop-D tuner [*]Graphite reinforced neck [/list]

[/quote] Mrs. WoT's scales suggest 8.5lbs. I never trust measurements with kitchen or bathroom scales, but that doesn't feel far off. It might even be a smidge less...

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1387464256' post='2312268'] GAS is an extremely cruel mistress, but she must obeyed in order to avoid having an aneurism (at least that's my excuse). What are you gassing for? [/quote] I'm quite open, to be honest. I fancy an nice old maple-necked P (I miss my old '72). Maybe.. GASP... something Oly white. Or maybe... GASP... a PJ. Or, EVEN BIGGER GASP... something not Fender. I dunno, but that's half the fun, isn't it?
  16. wateroftyne
    Yeah - you're absolutely right. Truth is, I have a three-bass limit. My 71P's can't go anywhere - it's enshrined in my constitution. So the RB stands between me and that terrible affliction known as GAS. At the moment, GAS is winning.

    It's back up for sale. Here's a vid of me using it last week... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRZt8AeR974

    Dark Lord - before you go, would you answer my earlier question, please? I think it's important to put your views into context. Thank you. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1387386788' post='2311417'] Dark Lord - have you seen / used any of the current range of cabs? [/quote]

    David Crosby's 1971 solo album 'If I Coild Only Remember My Name' is beautifully recorded. Also, a lot of Buddy Holly's stuff sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday.
  20. wateroftyne
    I just wish they'd add more colours. That 'burst is... meh.

    I'd like to give one a run out, too...
  23. wateroftyne
    I feel your pain. There's no reason a band needs to be stupidly loud unless it's SUNN O))) or something like that. The thing is, if they tried playing at a reasonable volume, they'd probably like it. Strangely, most of the bands I play in that suffer from this problem do it because they're all deaf. Because they play too loud.
  24. wateroftyne
    Yep, as far as I'm aware...
  25. wateroftyne
    Cheers, folks :-)
