Extra knob and switch on Entwistle's slab Precision
Cosmo Valdemar replied to John Schoen's topic in Bass Guitars
When I finally get around to putting together a slab 'tribute', it will have an extra knob and switch, just like JE's. They won't do anything though. -
A pair of Gallien Krueger NEO 210 cabs SOLD
Cosmo Valdemar replied to Cosmo Valdemar's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hi Wibble, The cabs are 8ohm each. I'm in Dartford, just off the M25. -
I have two Gallien Krueger NEO 2x10 cabs, bought in May last year and hardly used. They've never been gigged, only played around the house and are in as-new condition. These were supposed to be my cabs for a long time to come, but I've just picked up an old Mesa Boogie so these sadly have to go... These cabs can be stacked in a variety of different ways, as seen in the pictures. You can also, when in the 4x10 arrangement, tilt the top cab monitor-style. These were £370 each new, I'm after £250 each. I could probably knock a bit off if someone wants the pair Collection only, or could deliver/meet up if not too far.[attachment=133556:IMAG1063.jpg]

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1366826845' post='2057817'] If you're referring to the Brune Street one, that was only a pale shadow of the mighty Wapping Bass Centre. Words cannot describe how great that place was. Or the stock they had. Fender, Gibson, Warwick, Dingwall, Alembic, Smith, Status, Parker, Musicman, Vigier, Ovation, Washburn, Steinberger, Kubicki, Yamaha, Ibanez.... And that's just the basses. Never mind the amps, strings, accessories..... [/quote] Agreed. And they greeted you with a smile and made you a cup of tea...

The neck is from a standard Warwick Fortress 5 [quote name='TWILITEZONE' timestamp='1366587701' post='2054658'] not that illiterate. what's the scale length and eventual bridge string spacing please [/quote] [quote name='TWILITEZONE' timestamp='1366587701' post='2054658'] not that illiterate. what's the scale length and eventual bridge string spacing please [/quote] I'm pretty sure it's a 34" scale. Unsure of string spacing but if you look at the Warwick website you should be able to find out what it is - it's a standard neck for the Rockbass Fortress 5. -
[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1366492590' post='2053273'] Don't get these confused with Riverhead instruments. The Riverhead Unicorn is a high quality Japanese-made headless bass that owes more than a bit in styling to the Burns Flyte. IIRC the Riverside headless bass is some nasty PoS that was being flogged off cheap on eBay a while back. There is also a completely different [url="http://www.riversideguitars.net"]Riverside Guitars[/url] based in Bath making what look like very nice vintage guitar copies. [/quote] It seems I was thinking of a Riverhead bass then, it did look like a slimmer Burns Flyte. It was still terrible though.

I had one for a while - slightly more shaped body than a Steinberger, strange sculpted pickups. I think they are quite collectable, and great fun for playing around the house but sadly the amplified tone was pathetic. Despite this shortcoming, Dave Pegg played one with Fairport Convention for a time so he must have liked it.

New Black Sabbath song "God is Dead"
Cosmo Valdemar replied to chrismuzz's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1366476668' post='2053092'] , it kinda sounds like a modern band covering a Masters of Reality era Sabbath song. [/quote] Yes, that's about it. It's missing that [i]grime.[/i] -

If only you were nearer... -
Hi all, I'm selling this neck on behalf of a mate. £100 + shippingattachment=133021:SL270171.JPG][attachment=133023:SL270158.JPG][attachment=133024:SL270156.JPG][attachment=133026:DSC_0032.JPG] Here are the details: Straight from factory, never been used or attached to a bass body. PERFECT CONDITION, BRAND NEW. Maple Neck for a 5 string bass, Rosewood Fingerboard, 24 frets. See photos for serial number. Neck was originally to have been fitted onto a Warwick Fortress as the original neck was damaged but decided to go with another neck instead.

New Black Sabbath song "God is Dead"
Cosmo Valdemar replied to chrismuzz's topic in General Discussion
Just had a proper listen. I liked it, excellent mix and it's always a joy to hear Geezer properly ripping. Strange song to release first maybe, it's a very slow burner. Bu despite all this, I can't help feeling it sounds more like an Ozzy solo track than real Sabbath. Or more accurately, Sabbath trying to sound like what people expect them to. Make sense? Thought not... I'll still buy the album though. -
Beautiful, and just up the road from me too

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1366117066' post='2048495'] No Thunderbird has had "proper" Gibson pickups since 1976. [/quote] This is a very good point.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1365865138' post='2045371'] It's finished and working. It does absolutely nail the Soft Machine fuzz bass thing! It's got that real sandpapery edge that the Muff lacks. I find I prefer the mid-notched setting on bass - it's centred high enough at 1K that there are still some mids going on below that. The normal setting is very midrangey and focussed, though with a little less low end than the notched setting. It'll be fun trying it with the band. We've got a gig tonight, but I should probably try it at a rehearsal first... [/quote] Ooh! Make me one!

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1366043347' post='2047651'] Have to say my first visit left me utterly underwhelmed. I suppose I should be grateful that they let me in at all... [/quote] I don't care how good the gear is, a little friendliness and manners goes a long way. I felt seriously unwelcome in there. And my choice of gear was openly insulted.

I think the Classic IV has 'proper' Gibson pickups too!

I'm sure that clip was a lot longer yesterday..

I've woken up to this news. It's all over FB. I am very saddened by this, more than I expected to be - I like some if the Deftones music but was never a huge fan, but Chi always came across as such a genuine, spiritual guy, all of which was expressed perfectly buy his bass playing. Their music was certainly taken to a higher plane by his soulful lines. A unique player in the metal/rock scene, hugely talented and very humble, and someone I will always have the utmost respect for. RIP

I used to have one of these. Took it apart. Shouldn't have. Great basses!
-
I like the bass tone in the OP. Don't think it suits the music though in this case. I'm more shocked by the singer - isn't that the old drummer from Entombed?!

What CD's you have in the car at the moment?

Very under-rated amps, these! -
[i]I too have bought one of Gary's many Spectors. Lucky for me he doesn't like fancy tops! It's a wonderful bass, and Gary is an honest and trustworthy man indeed. He even made me a lovely cup of tea and put up with my hoo-hahing trying to decide if I wanted the bass or not. I'm glad I did![/i] [i]Thanks [s]Chris [/s]Gary! [/i]
