  1. I'm an oceanographer and I'm desperate to buy an amp but nobody takes me seriously.
  2. Just sold my Greco Thunderbird to Martin - well part-ex really, I've come away with a smashing fretless Jazz! To echo earlier sentiments, Martin's a top gent who was good enough to bring his rather lovely rig with him as I am temporarily ampless. He knows his onions too, and a fellow Entwistle fan to boot. Could have chatted for hours, hopefully we will in future.
  3. I would be interested in the Leeds if you were able to ship to the UK...
  4. Why did I ever sell this?!
  5. I've never seen an Alembic Crusader! Is it a bass?
  6. [quote name='eude' timestamp='1395931742' post='2408109'] Oh, by the way, the Mi10 Cabs have a whizzer design, like the EA 10" cabs, not exactly sure how it works, but it's a lot more subtle than a tweeter/horn. A much more natural sounding cab in general, I'm very happy with mine so far. Eude [/quote] That's reassuring. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1395932268' post='2408121'] Yup, make sure there is an actual problem there before attempting to fix it! Not all horns/tweeters are fizzy sounding. I've been scarred by the horrible one in the Markbass CMD121P I used to own! [/quote] Never thought of it like that. I've just never liked the sound of horns in any cab. I have ocassionally had to play through cabs with non-defeatable horns, and have EQd out some treble to compensate but always found that it adversely affected the rest of my tone as I generally go for a trebly, driven tone anyway. Food for thought. I was looking at the Ashdown VS cabs but can't find any info about them anywhere! But that probably deserves it's own thread.
  7. I played one of these at the LBGS. Fantastic bass, hugely underrated. GLWTS!
  8. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1395840088' post='2406913'] I guess you could always unplug it?! [/quote] Interesting... Is this doable?
  9. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1395923539' post='2407939'] Took me about 15 or so gigs before I understood mine, but it's simply a superb cab. [/quote] Dedication!
  10. More to the point, how are you all getting tickets for KB before the official release date?!
  11. Beautiful P, and [i]very[/i] tempting...
  12. I was all ready to buy a couple of these when I noticed the horn is always on.
  13. My word... Can they run at 8ohm?
  14. [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1395441186' post='2402640'] Can someone explain to me why this is still here?? Best value bass on here by a country mile......shouldn't need a bump, but you're getting one anyway! [/quote] Very nice of you to say so! It is fantastic, but of course I have to say that... I would cheerfully entertain trade offers involving lightweight heads/cabs or Yamaha BB basses...
  15. I once found an immaculate DeArmond Starfire in a junk shop. Do I regret selling it? Yes, yes I do. Congratulations on a great find!
  16. Beautiful! Don't be afraid of posting though. Plenty of guides on here to assist you.
  17. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1395438803' post='2402606'] All joking aside, it's not just about ergonomics with Rics, the QC and variability is shocking in an instrument in this price range, way more so than with Fender, EBMM etc. I love my 4001 but I would never again buy a Ric without playing it for a good few hours. They're lovely when they get it right, shocking when they don't. [/quote] Sad but true.
  18. Beautiful. The nut narrowness frightens me though.
  19. I need a backup for my 424x, I wonder if this would be up to the job?
  20. Have you tried adjusting the EQ on the amp? A little low mid boost can work wonders. Maybe the amp just isn't up to the job. What wattage is it?
  21. How much for the Leeds pedal? Does it come with the original tin?
