Martin (MB1), this used to be yours, am I right in thinking you had it on a USA Stingray? -
This is it, [URL=http://s1289.photobucket.com/user/ern500evo/media/5D0CA5DE-47A9-42F9-A85B-6265787EB1F0_zps6mcxopzk.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b502/ern500evo/5D0CA5DE-47A9-42F9-A85B-6265787EB1F0_zps6mcxopzk.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I bought this as a project with the intention of upgrading it to a budget Stingray. However I ended up buying a USA 'Ray so this never got off the ground. Black and maple combo and comes with both black and white scratchplates. The pickup and control plate are removed as you can see but they will be included (the p/up has no foams, springs or screws). So all in all, a cheap little project that can be turned back into a usable bass with minimal work and just the p/up bits, or a good basis for upgrading to a higher spec. I have no box or case so would need to be collected from Bristol or can meet up within approx 25 miles from me.

Line 6 Bass Pod XT Live, this is a great piece of kit, loads of useful effects and some really good amp and cab sims. It's fairly easy to use, but I've come to the conclusion that the only effect I really have any use for is drive/grit so it's just been used as a practice tool with headphones. It's in excellent condition and comes with original box. The only thing I'm struggling to lay my hands on is the manual, I'm sure I've got it somewhere, but failing that you can download it from the Line 6 website. Payment by bank transfer preferred of you want it posted. Or of course you are welcome to come collect it/meet up somewhere and pay cash. I'm based in Bristol.

I'm not entirely sure to be honest, I bought it used. The guy I bought it from had it on a USA Stingray, which is what I bought if for but never got around to fitting it. I'll have to look up the different shaft lengths and measure this one.

Here I have a Seymour Duncan SMB4-D ceramic pick up. Bought from this forum for my USA Stingray but never got around to fitting it. The writing on the front has worn off but you can tell it's an original SD p/up as it has the part number on the back. I don't have the mounting springs with it, but if you're upgrading an existing pup you can obviously just re-use your existing springs. Price includes postage.

Hipshot BT1 d-tuner in chrome, fits Musicman and G&L basses. Bought this from this forum for my USA Stingray but sold the bass before I got around to fitting it. Comes with fitting instructions. Price includes postage.

They've started having an annual fake festival near us, people seem to love it. Day out in the sun, drinking beer and listening to music, why not! My good friend was the 'Angus' in a very popular AC/DC tribute band, he did very well out of it. Played to some huge crowds all over Europe and got paid handsomely for it too. Also, given the amount of AC/DC tribute bands around, he's never short of offers for very well paid deps now.

What about adding a second BB2 or a Compact to give you a modular 2x12 rig? Like Dan (Dood), I also use a Barefaced Big Twin 2. It's a great cab for my needs. Having said that, I've always loved the look of Berg cabs. They're IMO probably the classiest looking cabs on the market and those who use them always speak highly of them, I played through a NV610 once and it was epic! Maybe see if there's a bass bash going on near you anytime soon, which would give you the opportunity to try some options out.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1452608530' post='2951566'] I had a similar conversation with somebody about swirled Ibanez guitars. If you got one of those out at the local pub, you better make damn sure you can sweep, pick and tap to hell to avoid any cringe... [/quote] Yes, absolutely agree. A friend of mine had an Ibanez Jem 77 floral when they first came out, it was his 21st birthday present from his parents. Amazing instrument to play but he ended up leaving it at home and using a much cheaper/plainer model as he got fed up with people asking him "can you play (insert any Vai lick/riff/song)?" all the time.

I'd say in the case of signature basses it can even have the opposite effect. For years I wanted a Yamaha Attitude Ltd but always felt that if I turned up at a gig with one, people would be expecting masses of two handed tapping through a stereo rig at 500mph! Having said that, I'm at the age now where I don't really care about that, which is probably why I can't stop looking at Torvic's sea foam green ltd in the ads section!

Of all the songs I've ever listened to, by any artist, there's only one which makes me feel emotional for no apparent reason. By which I mean it's not attached to any life event, it doesn't stir a memory to cause the emotion, it's just the song itself that does it. That song is Heroes, so it has to be that one for me. As someone as said already, when you start trying to pick a song it hits home just how many fantastic songs he gave us.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1452522978' post='2950762'] Tone Hammer or Fusion, it's a win-win. [/quote] Hmmmm, there's does seem to be a few TH's about at the moment, and not having any gigs for a few weeks now could mean a good time to put the Shuttle up for sale!
-
I must admit I'm very very tempted to replace my Shuttle 9.2 with a TH500. Something a bit warmer would probably suit me better at the moment. Then again I've also been looking at GK MB500 Fusions and Markbass LM Tube 500's! I do keep arriving back at the TH though.
-
Seems to be a flurry of TH500's in the BC market place recently.
-
Yamaha Attitude Ltd, every gig I do lately I take the Streamer and Sire V7, sold my 'Ray so you'd think that these two have established themselves as my main gigging basses. So, why have I looked at Torvic's ad for his sea foam green attitude ltd 2 about 20 times in the last week or so!!

A little pre Xmas bump! -
Billy Sheehan has one of his Attitude 3's up for auction, with the proceeds going to Tony Macalpine. Included in the sale is an hour with Billy to either have a lesson, jam, go for a beer, chat about

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1449042839' post='2920248'] I still can't decide if I like the bongo, but this one is awesome!! Good luck with the sale! [/quote] Thanks man, much appreciated!
-
Would be interested in a px with a TH500.
-
if i recall correctly, our very own EBS_Freak is in a really good function band that does that type of music. I think they're called The Blue Smarties. I've never seen them live but have seen videos of them and they are very good.

Weekend bump before it goes off to evilbay!
