    [quote name='Paul Cooke' post='283658' date='Sep 14 2008, 01:38 PM']OK, if the real buyer fails to come forward with how he wanted it routed etc., then I'd like to put my marker in for it.[/quote] Thanks Paul, but the buyer got in touch, so it's still sold I'm afraid.

    Guys, sorry but I can't find out who wanted this body!! I promised it to someone and I just can't find the message!! Please get back in touch or I'll have to put it back up for sale. Cheers

Good luck over there![/quote] Hey, you sound like someone who has made immigration enquiries!! SW route rather than PNP. They've just sorted the LMO so I just need the TWP. ATB, Ian

    Hi My long-term gigging headless bass in my avatar uses EMG CS & P5 pickups, together with their 3-band parametric eq. As a builder I have used EMGs a lot and from personal experience with projects I haven't noticed much difference in tone when using different timber, larger bodies, downsized bodies, chambered bodies etc. However, in my opinion these are noticeable when using passive systems. Particularly timbers used. I've recently gone back to passive jazz basses and the sound improvement compared to the active bass has been quite noticeable to other band members. If you decide to go active, just make sure you can bypass the circuit by means of a passive switch. Don't forget - we all wanna see pics of this bass!! Cheers Ian

    I've now decided to sell my 1001 head. Its in the 'for sale' section. I had two RBH cabs, and the bi-amping feature is really good. Great cabs - just mega heavy.

    bump to the top

    I have no choice but to sell my gear now, as I'm off to Canada!!! So this is going first. Bought new from the Gallery. Brilliant amp, plenty of power. It's been in a rack since new, so only very minor evidence from screw mounting on the ears. Any trial welcome (Essex). Rack ears/handles and screws included. £330, postage extra. Or I'll include a DB112 cab, £550 total. Thanks Ian

    Brilliant workmanship on these basses. What does it sound like?
  23. Chopthebass
    I'm thinking of selling mine now that I've got my 902C
  24. Chopthebass
    SOLD subject to usual

    Another one of my impulse buys that doesn't get used! I don't understand how this thing works but it is amazing. Read the reviews. It kind of increases bottom and clarity in a different way than just tweaking your amps EQ. That's my understanding! Bought new, and still looks new. Its in the original packaging with all instructions. £60 inc delivery. Cheers Ian
