  3. Hi All Long time without being here as I've been busy with my 'new' daughter (she is almost 3 now!), work and trying to play more instead of endlessly reading about basses here! I bought a NS Design just over 2 years ago as my 40th birthday treat from bass direct and has had very little use (12 times?) at home. his is bass is in great, as new condition, have even kept it in bubble wrap inside the soft case! For those of you not familiar with this bass, it sounds great, looks beautiful and is very easy to play and hence a great entry into the world of EUBs, I just don't have the time to play it and am more keen into playing the guitar for the kind of music I am making. Unfortunately for me (and luckily for you) this bass has to go as I am looking to buy a guitar (I know... ) Pictures to follow soon but it looks exactly as any other! Collection is preferred, I am based in West London W11 very near to Ladbroke Grove Station. You can come and try it. I am usually around evening and weekends. Delivery can be considered. Get in touch if you are interested. In case you have a guitar to trade I am interested in semi-hollow Gibson 339 style and will consider others. Full description of the web: [color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [i][color=#000000][size=3]The NXT Series Double Bass opens up a new horizon for the serious bassist looking to play a great instrument on a limited budget. These new instruments, crafted in the Czech Republic by the makers of the renowned CR Series, exemplify flawless workmanship at an incredible value.[/size][/color][/i][/size][/font][/color] [color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [i][color=#000000][size=3]Pizzicato and arco techniques have almost unlimited expressive potential, thanks to the Polar™ Pickup System (SEE BELOW). A convenient switch allows selection of the traditional arco mode for percussive attack and dynamic bowed response, or pizzicato mode for a smooth, sustained tone. Equipped with single volume and tone controls, the passive electronics deliver unlimited overhead for the ultimate sound without cumbersome batteries.[/size][/color][/i][/size][/font][/color] [color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [i][color=#000000][size=3]The solid maple body and neck, together with the graduated ebony fingerboard, deliver a rich, full tone that rings true for every note. Asymmetrical fingerboard relief facilitates an even 'growl' from the higher strings and a clear, powerful lower register. The adjustable bridge and truss rod allow for low, fast action, or for higher string settings that encourage the traditional acoustic player to 'dig in' with gusto.[/size][/color][/i][/size][/font][/color] [color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [i][color=#000000][size=3]NS Electric Strings and most traditional acoustic strings fit all NS Double Basses, allowing the player to select from a wide range, each with a unique sound a feel. In combination with the easy adjustment of basic set-up parameters, the NXT Series Bass is adaptable to many different styles of music. [/size][/color][/i][/size][/font][/color][color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [i][color=#000000][size=3]A wide array of interchangeable support systems make the NXT Double Bass adaptable to virtually any situation. Standard equipment includes a self-supporting tripod stand with full adjustments for height and angle. A more traditional end pin stand is available, as well as shoulder strap options that allow for full mobility.[/size][/color][/i][/size][/font][/color] [color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [i][color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][i]NXT SERIES 4-String Double Bass:[/i][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3] SPECIFICATIONS[/size][/font][/color][/i][/size][/font][/color][color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [i][color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Length:[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][size=3] 132 cm (52") [/size][/color][/i][/size][/font][/color][color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [i][color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Weight:[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][size=3] 4.8 kg (10.5 lbs.)

  13. there is a small article on compression on the latest issue of bass player mag, there is also a couple of pages with a review of the best pedals, could scan you a copy if you can't find it...
  14. Hi I am very interested in this, have you tried it with the Sonus B2M, I am very curious how they work together? You have any clips or videos? Cheers Carlos
  15. Thanks to all, I will give Martin a ring
  16. anybody got any suggestions for a tech in London please?
  17. [quote name='Mykesbass' post='1035696' date='Nov 24 2010, 10:24 PM']Now up for trades and to hell with the credit card bill!![/quote] Hi I am interested in this, would you be interested in an Epiphone Jack Cassidy by any chance? Cheers Carlos
  18. [quote name='YouMa' post='1035624' date='Nov 24 2010, 09:22 PM']Is your preamp overdriving? there should be a couple of white plastic screws on the small circuit boards inside the control cavity it might help if you turn these down,if not then its highly likely a capacitor is crapping out on you,see if any oil is leaking out from any of them,hope this helps.[/quote] I don't think is overdriving. Second option about capacitor might be the cause but have no idea of electronics and wouldnt like messing with it, would prefer a professional to have a look and sort it out...
  19. [quote name='fingerz' post='1034825' date='Nov 24 2010, 10:27 AM']Hello mate, Speaking from experience, the best place to look after it would be the Gallery in Camden: [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/[/url] Martin in the workshop is the electronics guy and is a total pro. None of the sucking air through teeth malarky we've all had in the past! A lot of people depend on them to look after their instruments and they always do a fantastic job, and talk sense. Hope that helps, Cheers[/quote] Cheers, will give them a ring
  20. Please send me a pm if you have any specific info to share, thanks!
  21. Hi all I have a 18yo Warwick Streamer II and have a little technical issue. The preamp when engaged makes a bad noise (sounds like muffled clapping...). A fellow bass player mentioned it could be preamp the wiring. I am considering changing the pups. Does anybody know any good tech in London (near West London, W14 preferbly) that could please help me? Any suggestions much appreciated Thanks Carlos
  22. Hi all As the title says, I have an old (almost 18yo) Warwick Streamer II and have some preamp issues. I would like a tech to have a look at it. The main problem is that when the preamp is engaged it produces a bad noise, a fellow bass player thin might be just a small contact issue. I am also thinking of upgrading pups, any suggestions in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all, please PM with specific contact details for a tech if possible PS I am based in West London, so local would be best if at all possible Cheers Carlos
  23. Hi I have an old version with true bypass mod that am consider in sellling as got an octavius squeezer. Please let me know if you would be interested. (it's got box and adaptor too by the way). Cheers Carlos
