I've been meaning to do this for a while. Here's my current board The chain goes right to left, top to bottom. Pretty self explanatory. Diago power supply, George L's... I'm sure you guys and girls know what it all does. A short sound clip of the Animato. It's taken straight out of my pedal board into the computer, nothing fancy going on, just a fade out to kill the endless sustain from the Thunderbird, so you'll have to excuse the crap quality. Clean for a bit then Animato after about 10 or 12 seconds. [attachment=25758:Animato_Demo_MP3.mp3]

I like Elites, I think quite a few people here use them. I usually change them once every 2-3 months depending on how many gigs I've played and how much practice I've done. I find they have a long life. I don't sweat that much so can't comment on the effects of sweat on string life. In the past I've used lots of different brands and found Elites to be the ones that work best for me. If you're looking for a place to bulk buy strings then Strings Direct is the place I would recommend. I'm sure there's plenty of other places online to buy from though. I met a guy once who told me he boiled his string in oil (Engine oil, not vegetable oil) to clean them and imporve tone! Not sure if there was any truth to this. Apparently it works quite well on old bike chains as well.

Thanks for taking the time and posting all that information. I really appreciate it. I've been using a TU-2 for years and never had a problem with it. I find the b and bb settings really useful, especially when on stage. I play guitar and piano as well as bass and my theory is pretty good, but I still prefer to tune by 'numbers' when it's dark and I've been jumping around a bit. (I'm sure you'll understand that theory isn't a top priority at those times). I was curious to find out why so many people are raving about the PitchBlack, so I went into the guitar shop in Brighton and spoke to a friend who works in there. He said they've had to replace a few faulty/broken PitchBlacks but he's never seen a faulty TU-2. (Not saying they don't crop up from time to time of course). Think I'll stick wit my old TU-2. Interesting to see the pros and cons though. Thanks again.

Can anyone tell me if the Korg Pitchblack lets you set the tuning mode down a semi-tone or a full step like the TU-2?

I've managed to get the offending strap button out so all is now sorted. Thanks all.

Hi guys, I've tried every metric and imperial hex key I have and none of them do anything. I've tried to unscrew it with pliers but like I said earlier the top just spins and the screw stays firmly in place. I'm really tempted to take a hacksaw to it but have so far resisted. I'm still hoping that a former owner had installed them and can shed some light on it. Thanks all, Alex.
-
I tried with pliers, the lug spins but the screw/nail/whatever doesn't. Sorry if it isn't a Dunlop strap lock. I thought it was. I'll get some more pictures up of the complete set. Thanks for all the advice so far. Alex.

And for Sussex?

Hi all. Problem solved Thanks, Alex.

I agree with the flavour of the month comment, go into GAK in Brighton and listen to the staff talk crap about Marshall and Trace bass amps. I guess it's their opinion though. From my experience the Marshall valve and solid state amps are worlds apart. The guitarist in my band uses a '82 JCM800 and it is without a doubt the nicest Marshall I have heard, if not the nicest amp I've heard. I like it so much that I'd whip up the JCM800 Bass head on the for sale section if I could afford it. OT: for all things Chris Wolstenholme look [url="http://www.musewiki.org/Bass"]here[/url]

Is this the one that sold on eBay recently? -

Whenever I follow links to youtube of basschat residents playing I'm always astounded by the level of technicality and musicianship. The first video is cracking. One day my tapping will be that good.

If I lived closer to Leeds I'd take a punt on this. I'd love some all valve Mesa goodness.

The StingRay has now been sold. Thanks for all the interest and comments. Alex.

Hi Everyone. I'm selling my Mexican made Fender Telecaster. I bought it a few years ago from my guitarists dad who had bought it new from GAK in Brighton. It's never been gigged and has had home use only. It's a standard Tele in three colour sunburst with the stock pick-ups. No mods or upgrades at all. The serial number dates it to '96 - '97 on the [url="http://www.fender.com/support/mexican_instruments.php"]Fender website[/url] There are a couple of dings on the headstock, a small scratch on the bottom edge next to the strap button and a small scratch on the top of the body. I've taken pictures of these very minor blemishes as best I can. There are no other dents, dings or scratches anywhere else on the guitar including the neck. The neck is 1-Piece Maple and the body is Alder. Everything on the guitar is standard so the fender website will give you all the details. I've just bought a Gibson Les Paul Junior and really can't justify having two guitars. So this one has to go. If I were to keep it the only thing I would do it the guitar is have it set-up nicely because I'm a fussy bugger. I bought a black scratch plate which I had on the guitar in the past but it's no longer in perfect condition. I also have a Fender strap and the standard Fender branded hardshell case for the guitar. This is in really good condition and it's really solid. All these are included in the sale. I live in the Horsham area of West Sussex and anyone is more than welcome to come and have a play. I'm more than happy to ship this guitar in the hard case and in the box I received the Gibson in. I'm looking for [b]SOLD[/b]. If you live outside the UK and Ireland drop me a PM and I'll see if I can get a quote on shipping. I have uploaded 22 photos of the guitar to [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25816737@N08/sets/72157616974495532/"]Flickr here[/url] so you can see more images there. [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25816737@N08/sets/72157617345226526/"]Sunny day photos[/url] Any questions then feel free to drop me a PM or leave a message. Thanks, Alex.

I've always played Trace Elliot amps. I have a TE Series 6 AH300 made in '91 going through a TE 4X10" cab brought at the same time. I've played through lots of amp and there's isn't much that compares that I’ve tried. One of those V series heads would be nice though. I can’t recommend it enough, what you get for your money in the second hand market is amazing. I’ve seen some major TE rigs sell for under £600 on BC. I've never liked Ashdown amps myself. Although I think I've only used the cheaper models. If you're seriously considering a change in set up and moving to Trace Elliot then you need look no further then the for sale thread here. I've been having a poke through today and there are some great bargains to be had.

A lot of people rave about the S1 switching on the Jazz bass. I'm suprised this hasn't been sold.

[quote name='starman' post='464248' date='Apr 16 2009, 06:21 PM']It has a small amount of worming on the back, otherwise in excellent condition. Push/pull pots for coil taps on both pick ups, in series/parallel, in/out of phase giving 21 options. Jimmy Page shaped neck (thinner in the middle than at the ends). Swap for a Bass or a cheaper Bass and 300w+ portable (as in small and light as i'm getting old) bass combo of similar value (about £2000).[/quote] The finish on that is stunning. Gibson sure know how to paint a guitar. Good luck finding a deal.
