BUMP!

Probably ebay this next week if I have no takers.

Brilliant band and the I remeber when I first heard Bombtrack, blue my mind, so angry, so groovy, so honest, just full of rage which is exactly what you want when you are a teenage boy! oh and one of the best bass tones ever IMHO

Anyway yes he used a stingray with no pickguard if I remeber (not that that would affect tone) but he did use some jazz basses (75 American Reissue?) as well or was that just with Audioslave? I know I have seen him somewhere using Lakland as well so I would think he can get somewhere close tone wise with a Jazz.

Just bought a reissue Jazz from Ruairidh and can honestly say he is a fantastic chap to deal with. Great communication, well packaged and a superb bass. Also threw in some extra bits like a pickguard and chrome covers that were not part of the deal.

Thanks again, and ggood luck getting that new Jazz.

Cheers,

Nathan

Just a quick note to say I may be interested in a combo of some sort as a trade. Something like a 1x12 around 100-200 watts. PM me with what you have, the worst I will say is no thanks.

Cheers,

Nathan

[quote name='krzysztof' post='542921' date='Jul 17 2009, 09:35 AM']These look really cool. Am I right in thinking it has a different body shape compared to his standard USA Mtd's? Also the headstock shape looks like the Callowhill Junkie headstock. Very nice looking basses[/quote]

It does have a feel of the standard MTD basses in the body shape but it look to be a more substancial body with a hint of Fender thrown in. Yeah teh headstock did remind me of the Callowhill as well (nice looking bass too), it also reminds me of John Shukers J headstock as well for some reason, probably nothing alike if I put them next to each other though.

I gather?......" Alex Sklarevski has left the building?"....
BUMP![/quote]

It has not left the building just yet, just waiting for the go ahead. I will give it a day or two but if I hear nothing its yours if you want it.

Thanks,

Nathan

[quote name='budget bassist' post='542751' date='Jul 16 2009, 11:20 PM']Ashdwon? sounds like a cheap chinese knockoff!

Seriously though, i may be interested in both of these, would you be interested in a trade at all?[/quote]


Ha ha, thanks for that, I was far too tired to be writing last night and it was the second time I wrote it all out as the computer crashed!

Afraid I'm not really after a trade. If I hadn't just bought another bass I would probably be looking at a trade for a combo but I do need to get the new bass paid for before I go looking at getting another amp. The only thing I would be potentially interested in is a SWR workingman combo or a newer style Fender Bassman combo.

Many thanks,

Nathan

I did a search and found nothing here on this so here goes, apologies if its been done.

This is Michael Tobias' version of a Jazz Bass for some artists that needed something a little more conventional looking. I want one so very very much, I think I am too big and fat for a normal MTD but this would be fine.

Hello everyone,

Right to business.... [b]EDIT: CAB NOW SOLD![/b][u][/u][i][/i]

For sale is my Ashdown ABM MINI 48 cab, UK made. The cab is in really good condition with only a few very minor marks. These did not show up in the pictures but if anyone is concerned I will try and get pictures.

The cab is compact and will fit in the boot of my polo with space left and best of all I can carry it with one hand (wouldnt do it all the time but its possible). These are discontinued now and have been replaced with a new Neo series which are quite expensive. I love this cab, its tight and delivers brilliant low end and is very loud at 600watt handling. Ashdowns info: [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=legacy&ID=61"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.as...egacy&ID=61[/url]

So why am I selling if I love it so much? well my band split up. Drummer left us last week and we are basically trying to decide whether to carry on or not. I mostly practice through my computer nowadays and use the rehearsal studio Ampeg, Orange or Ashdown for practice. I have used this live twice, both times DI'd into the PA so didnt need all the power to be honest. So for that reason I will probably go back to a small basic combo until such times as I need big backline again.

Because it is in great condition I would like something around [b][s]£230[/s][/b] Edit: Have found something i really want so going to lower the price on this to [b][u]£180[/u][/b]. If anyone thinks this is a bit high please feel free to make me an offer but I will not let it go for stupid money. I am based in Cheltenham but often in Cardiff and people are more than welcome to come and try before buying but I have no head anymore so will need to bring your own. I will happily ship if anyone wants them but you will have to pay for the courier, postage not included.

Sorry for the bad pics:

Edited - removed details about Head as it is now sold.

Hey all,

Just want to say thanks for some of these bands and bass players names. I have checked out some of the videos and they just had my laughing with shear musical joy! Particularly love that New Direction video, what a brilliant sound and brilliant happy energising music, doesn't matter what they are singing about, i am not religious and I still love it.

Nice one.

Nathan

Well thats just bloomin marvelous.....I give up on the fact that a Cort Elrick will turn up ever and then possibly the finest example of one I have ever seen turns up just as I purchase a new Jazz!!!

I dont regret it though, seriosuly folks these Corts are amazing well worth £400 IMHO.

Good luck with the sales.

I did'nt try it our in case I was tempted - divorce can be very expensive!!![/quote]


Thanks, but I think that is probably the one I sent back, never mind. Actually it has kind of all worked out in an odd way. I only wanted it as it seemed my band would be doing more gigs and generally be playing more but our drummer left so now I basically have no need for a bass amp what so ever. I am probably going to sell my Ashdown setup now and just buy a small cheap combo for home practice, but i usually play through the computer so who knows.

When we get going again i will use the rehearsal studio backline (usually Ampeg, Orange, or Ashdown) and when we gig again i will think about buying something but that could be 6 months away.

I have been playing 5 string exclusively for the past year and do not even own a four anymore (suppose I do now). last weekend i played a Geddy Lee and it blew me away. The build quality and feel of 4 string jazz neck just sent me off with a mad GAS attack and I just knew i needed to get a Jap Jazz of some kind.

I cannot wait to give this a good workout and i will defo be taking some pictures with my others to go into the gear porn section.

I think I can now say....its mine. Best looking Jazz ever IMHO.

Ruairidh has been ace in getting this deal sorted out, top man.

Thanks again,

Nathan

Hello,

I have a pretty much brand new Korg DT-10 tuner pedal for sale. I bought it about 3 weeks ago and it has barely been used. I bought it for tuning during gigs but forgot it last gig we did and then the band folded so no need for it now. Its a superb tuner and I find it so much better than my (ex) guitarists boss tuner. It also comes with the multi voltage adapter with adapters to fit other pedals which cost me £15 on top. Up until about 3 days ago I had the box and bubble wrap but I threw it away without realising. I do have the instructions though.
Strings Direct have these up for £74.95 at the moment, I am after £60 with power supply. [b]NOW SOLD![/b][u][/u]

Also Got a Guitar Man volume pedal. It sbeen used but not abused. It does what it says on the tin, it works and controls volume. Sturdy enough for my needs for the past year and a bit but I go straight in to my amp now so no need for it.
I am after £15

PM for for any more info or pics etc and as i said open to negotiation.

Cheers,

PM'd

Got to say I would not go for an american standard unless you get a good deal secondhand. Personally I would go for a Jap Fender Jazz. I played a Geddy Lee at the weekend and it was unbelievably good, and was lacking in no way compared to american fenders. I also tried the new Mexican 70s Jazzes and again was very impressed and they look so good with the binding. Also worth a mention is the Marcus Miller. Its not everyones cup of tea aesthetically but again an awesome bass and you can get them very cheap secondhand.

Thanks for the PM, all sounds fine and I may be in touch soon.

thanks,

Nathan

Hello,

My band has just folded (friday) and as such i am completely rethinking my setup. I do not really have a huge need for an amp anymore so am thinking about selling it and my current main bass and getting something really fancy with the proceeds.

I love the look of sadowsky and think one would be a sound investment but just wondering how the necks are finished? I have been trying to find out but I must be a little slow because I cant find info anywhere. Are they gloss or more of a MusicMan feel? I will of course be playing a few before I buy anything but I was just curious as I am not the biggest fan of satin finish.

Cheers,

Nathan

Hello,

Might be looking for a change soon and have always wanted a musicman 5. Just curious about the £150 spent on neck refretting etc. It looks like quite a new bass and I have not heard of these needing a refret or dress at a young age. I dont mean to imply anything just curious if it was major work for some reason or just a thorough set up?

Thanks,

Nathan

Hello,

Really interesting this thread as I played a Geddy Lee for the first time today. Simply put, it was absolutely fantastic! I was actually smiling and laughing with shear joy as I played it the store guy thought I was mad. The neck is unbelievebly slim and quick and has a lovely burpy growlu=y jazz tone. I loved it so much I am currently hunting around for one myself.

I played a Marcus some time ago so tough to compare but from what I remeber it was also a stunning bass that made a big impression on me. I have to say I was not overly fussed with the pre in the MM and didnt find it that versatile (it was a long time ago) but still sounded great if that makes sense.

Anyway yes go for a Geddy...they are awesome and I know what the fuss is about now.

sent a PM with more questions.

Thanks,

Nathan

Hi,

Judging by your location i will assume you tried the one in the Newcastle store which is the one I was sent. I noticed the noise (rattled at higher volume). basically i think the amp had taken a knock (back top corner was slightly caved in) and this knock I think had loosened the whole casing on the combo. the horizontal board that seperates the head from the speaker was not joined tightly to the rest of the case and was coming apart. It was causing a rattle and was I think reducing the amount of bass being produced (A/B against my Ashdown 4x8 and it was nowhere near the level of bass) I got my girlfriend to squeeze the cab together to tighten the joint and it sounded fine but I didnt want it in that condition even if it was only £400.

Guitar Guitar were amazing about it though, no worries they took it back without a worry and I explained the problem I had with it. To be fair it was only noticeabloe because i was really looking for faults, I doubt the guys in the store had even picked up on it. I will definetaly be buying from tehm again, great customer service so far. I was thinking about a Eden 1x10 they had for sale but it wont be powerful enough for my needs so I will be getting a refund and looking around teh forum for something portable.



[quote name='BTGAndy' post='536918' date='Jul 10 2009, 12:21 AM']What was wrong with the amp? I played this one in the shop but didn't buy because it was very noisy when I turned master right up. I ended up buying the Workingmans 2x10C combo from them instead.
GuitarGuitar have always treated me right, it's why I keep going back.[/quote]

You have both confrimed my thoughts, I think I just needed to hear it from someone else. Its a nice looking thing but I need more power and more than a 1x10.

I am curently pestering a few folk on here about some gear so think I will leave it for now. Cheers for your help, this is why i love coming on here.

Many thanks,

Nathan
