  1. Thanks Andy; this is more of a time and inclination problem though really, Hartke have kindly sent me the schematics already which I'll of course pass on to anyone who wants the amp, but I seriously won't have time to do it myself! Anyway, pics: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/P1040169_zpscb67dee7.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/P1040170_zps35d0f53c.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/P1040171_zps47929d5a.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/P1040175_zps73d60ec3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/P1040176_zps52595af7.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/P1040177_zps8b8d1faa.jpg[/IMG]

  3. I've got a Vintage EST96 Stingray-alike 5-string which is excellent, can't fault it. I also had a Dean Edge which was very good; and Yamaha can't be faulted for build quality, although I can't stand the look of them personally. Also for secondhand, have a look around for a SGC Nanyo-built Bass Collection, the MIJ ones are almost uniformly tremendous.
  4. On eBay: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/smokingbeagle101/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1540"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/smokingbeagle101/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1540[/url]
  5. [quote name='steve' timestamp='1357040117' post='1916564'] Ian, I think my blues band drummer may be interested in the shells, can you pm me your email and i'll pass it on to him, cheers [/quote] Done, thanks Steve; kit'll be on eBay tonight though so kick him up the arse (nicely)
  6. [quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1357046150' post='1916664'] Beautiful looking bass that, what kind of tuners has it got on? [/quote] Cheers Steve - honest answer is I've no idea though, they're decent-quality open-gear adjustable jobs but no clue as to brand; they were just on there when I got it!
  7. [quote name='Moos3h' timestamp='1357045530' post='1916654'] Will ye postify? [/quote] I will indeed, would be sub-£20 - shall find a box and do the weighy/measurey/quotey thing!
  8. 'Still haven't remembered to take pictures and need reminder as I am useless' bump!
  9. Not having much luck selling the other bits and pieces I need to get rid of to keep the car on the road, so this is having to go on the block against my better judgement! Made from a Mighty Mite neck with a very well-done 60s-style F*nder logo, an alder (I think) sonic blue Sue Ryder body, genuine Mex Fender pickup and an off-white scratchplate - it's this one as far as I know (in fact, I'm sure it is) http://basschat.co.uk/topic/144819-ft-bitsa-precision-sonic-blue-maple-tort/page__hl__ryder__fromsearch__1 but it came to me in bits without 'plate or electronics so I've done it up myself. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/P1030953.jpg[/IMG] It had a few dinks when I got it so I've 'reliced' it - to my eyes it looks great and the removal of the slightly over-thick finish on the forearm contour actually makes it more comfortUnidentified Jazz Bass for sale - Narrow 5 string £150 o.n.o Low Price!able to play as well. I'll get some better pictures later on today and also have the scratchplate off to see what the electronics are (I'm pretty sure I put proper quality in there but again I can't be 100%). Some quality bits involved to make a bass easily comparable in quality to a Mex or even Jap Fender for my money, so I'm looking for £220 for this - I'm based in South Birmingham but shall be around South Staffs sometime this week if you get hold of me early enough!
  10. [quote name='sticker' timestamp='1356977469' post='1916012'] Don't suppose you'd be interested in some kind of trade , I have a mint Ashdown Mag evo 3 head and 1x15 that I'm looking to shift? Stu [/quote] I'm all good for amps cheers Stu (which is part of the reason that this has to go - thanks anyway!
  11. Quite fancy going two 1x15s instead of the stereotypical 1x15 + 4x10 (and would be slightly lighter too), so just throwing out there whether anyone'd be interested in doing a straight swap of my 7041 for your 7015? Specs ici: [url="http://www.marshallamps.com/heritage/dbs/dbs_02.asp"]http://www.marshallamps.com/heritage/dbs/dbs_02.asp[/url] condition of yours unimportant as mine's got it's share of road wear, and I THINK the tweeter's blown (not that it makes a massive difference to the sound, but shall check). I know it's a long shot, but if you don't ask etc etc...
  12. Needs must to keep the band van on the road; gutted to get rid of this and said I never would, as it's awesome! It's a UK-made Premier Artist Club, minus the original 10" rack tom which has gone walkies, so 20x8" bass drum, 13x13" floor tom and 13x5" snare. As you can see, in a lovely sparkly silver finish, and with very little wear for what's been a gigging kit for a good few years! The chrome has abandoned much of the tom legs, and the bass drum spurs have had to be re-engineered as the original screw threads stripped but apart from that there's no battle scars to speak of and it all works perfectly and sounds fantastic. Fitted with Remo reso heads throughout, an Evans Edge Control batter on the snare, Remo CS batter on the kick on a Remo-made Arbiter-badged coated batter on the floor (no idea what the reso on the kick drum is, and there's such a big 'port' cut into it that it scarcely matters ), all with plenty of life left in 'em. Speaks a thousand words, and all that: The kick and snare both have fitted Hardcase, um, hardcases, and the floor tom fits nicely into a Warwick 13" tom bag (all of them with a little road wear, but totally solid and they've done their job!). The hardware would also be going, whether with kit or separately - Gibraltar throughout, mostly the 56-- series (5606 snare stand, 5607 hi-hat stand, 5609 boom cymbal stand and Prowler 5611 kick drum pedal, plus the bulkier-but-more-comfy 9608 stool (which I think has a TINY nick in the seat somewhere, I'll check later)). Right, monies - for the kit in its cases I don't think I'd be taking the p!ss to ask for [b]£250[/b], as a Far East-made shell pack version of the fusion kit went for £190 on the 'bay recently without a snare, and the cases alone would be over £120 new. Hardware from a quick Google would be the thick end of £200 new, so I'd be looking for about [b]£120[/b] for the lot (and I'd throw in the heavy-duty hardware bag pictured - actually a military tow-rope bag, but PERFECT for this!); would of course be willing to separate. The cymbals which are pictured are nothing to write home about in terms of 'vintage', but they sound amazing together and are a perfect match for the kit as a jazz/acoustic ensemble: a pair of 12" Zildjian hi-hats of uncertain heritage (from the logo I think 1950s, but there's no guarantee that they haven't been cut down or even that they're a matching pair, and there's a fair bit of keyholing on the top one which has been fixed with a rubber grommit; all I know is that they sound great) and an 18" Zilco crash/ride badged as being made in Canada (so probably from the late 60s; superb bell sound and a lovely wash, but still crashes beautifully). For these I'd be happy with [b]£80[/b] for both. I'm in south Birmingham for collection, but shall be up to the north East (Hull kinda way), into Staffordshire and probably down into Warwickshire for family-type stuff over the next week or so. Wow, I waffle.
  13. At the Fiddlers Elbow; doors at 7, music from 7:30 - five bands for a mere fiver, can't be faulted for a pre-Christmas Saturday dahn Landan! Let me know if you're going and I'll keep my eyes open for ya, I'll be the dreadlocky bassy one...
  14. [quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1355696713' post='1901596'] TBH the Epi VJ & similar aren't really practice amps, and if you crank one loud enough for overdrive it will be too loud for most households. [/quote] Yep, definitely - admittedly I was running mine through a 4x12, but it was IMPOSSIBLE to get any drive out of it without rattling windows. However, by all accounts the Blackstar HT1 is a bit special; going to be looking at one of those myself when I can afford to.
  15. Quick bump (partly to remind me to take pictures), shall list rack separately when I get chance too!
  16. Out of interest, is this still here? MIGHT be up towards Manchester in the next couple of weeks...
  17. If I hadn't just bought a Marshall...
  18. Quick 'this is tonight' type bump! And I have a full Marshall DBS stack to play it with...
  19. Aw, I've just gone for one of these on eBay - if it turns out to be a winner I might come looking for yours next time I'm in Manchester!
