On a lone to a younger learner, at the mo' - struggling with his Pacifica - getting on with the T-15 much better. As pointed out, it's the proper thing, not a toy - the best bit is the sound. The pickups are stunning. Some really great sounds - surpised your guitarist gave it back to you. Good luck with the sale. Cheers. [/quote] cheers for the input flateric, i absolutely love the sound of the pickups and its nice to have someone agree on that point, i never trust my opinion when it comes to talking about electric guitars, i guess through lack of experience with them but yeah truly lovely tone. it was a struggle to get it back off my guitarist and after practice last night he asked if he could 'borrow' it again as a back up for his gretsch... when I told him it was up for sale he looked like he was gonna cry! to be honest i'm expecting him to make me an offer once payday rolls around but i'm not gonna hold it for him so if it goes it goes! heartless aint i?!
  2. [quote name='Schnozzalee' post='1125520' date='Feb 12 2011, 10:45 PM']Be pretty wicked for someones beginner son or daughter - I'd get it for my sister if I knew she'd actually put the effort in[/quote] yeah that thought had crossed my mind, though its worth noting its not so small it would look weird on a 'grown up' as this picture of my guitarist will prove: [quote name='adledman' post='1125903' date='Feb 13 2011, 01:18 PM']thats lovely and seems bloody cheap to me. skint at present unfortunately.[/quote] yeah tis a beaut, i hope people don't think its cheap rubbish though just cuz its cheap! its purely because its not exactly a well known guitar (over here certainly)... even the peavey T40 and T60 models, which are getting a bit more recognition and winning over new fans now, still go for very cheap for what they are would it help if i write a different name on the headstock?! nah don't get me started on that again!
  3. should also add that its just been restrung with D'addario XL 10's and is playing nicely... even with my fat fingers
  4. i have a cupboard full of strings and things that i clearly don't need. here's the 1st lot on offer: [s]Elites Double ball end extra light gauge (30, 50, 70, 90)[/s] Gone! Elites Double ball end light gauge (35, 55, 75, 95) [s]Elites Stainless Steel Roundwound (40, 60, 80, 100)[/s] Gone! Elites Custom Stainless Steel Medium Scale (45, 65, 85, 105) these are all new, unused and in packaging as pictured. if anyone has any elites player series (nickel) or acoustic bass strings i'd be happy to trade sets or failing that money is always good (£13 a set inc postage)
  5. i had this shipped over from america a couple years ago and then pretty much stright away had it on loan to the guitarist in my band who took a shine to it. i got it back a few weeks ago and its just sitting here not getting played. its a thing of beauty and as with all the USA made peavey T series guitars and basses its really well constructed. however i'm not much of a guitarist and find guitars to be quite fiddly little things, this ones worse being shortscale so its gotta go! 23.5" scale length, 20 frets, metal nut, 2 single coal super ferrite pickups, pickup selector switch and volume and tone controls there are quite a few videos of these on [url="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=peavey+t-15&aq=f"]You Tube[/url] so you can get a pretty good idea of what sorta sounds you can get from it and will be plenty of posts about them if you search [url="http://forums.peavey.com/"]here[/url] or one of the peavey t series fansites it comes with its original case although i've replaced all the foam from inside which had fallen to pieces. i got a new pickguard made for it and replaced the tuners because i wasn't digging the vintage white/cream look. i'll include the originals in the sale though so you can have it as it was intended if you so desire. the only damage i can find is a bit of buckle rash on the back, its in better condition than me and we're the same age! please PM me with any questions and if you need anymore photos or of anything specific let me know and i'll sort it ( i finally have a camera!) Cheers Matt
  6. ahhhh so the extension socket thing is just a feature so you can hook everything up without having to get longer speaker leads or something? thanks for your help!
  7. ok i've searched through all the various information on here and i think i'm just confusing myself even more! basically ever since i started using my 1st amp & cab setup (hartke 3500 head and an 8 ohm vx410 cab) i've linked them based on the information in the manual for that cab. when i bought another cab i linked the 1st from an output on the amp and the 2nd from the 'extension' output on that cab so the cabs would be linked in parallel and the impedance would be 4 ohms (as it said in the manual) so two 8 ohm cabs linked in parallel via the extension socket there is 4 ohm impedance but if i take two 8 ohm outputs from the back of my amp thats series (?) and it says for cabs wired in series, the impedance is the 'sum of the speakers individual impedance' the other day i bought a new head and started looking for cabs but noticed not many had 'extension' sockets on the back so that got me thinking maybe i don't understand this afterall! [b]so once and for all, if i link everything up in series and use the two 8ohm outputs from the head and go into two 8ohm cabs is the impedance reduced to 4ohm well? [/b] if so why does the manual for the cab say to link in parallel to achieve this and completely glosses over the series linkup option?! confused.
  8. [quote name='FlatEric' post='1094782' date='Jan 19 2011, 08:03 AM']Bonjour! Glad you like it - pics look very good. Let me know when you have recorded some stuff with it. Cheers. Got another one, Burst - Maple - Blade, with the smaller switches, made in. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1982!!! Only teasing!! Cheers. [/quote] Ha!
  9. awesome! that is a stunner!
  10. [quote name='Blademan_98' post='1070080' date='Dec 27 2010, 01:07 PM']Hi Matt I'd just like to say a public thanks for the CD. It looks and sounds really professional. It's on my mp3 player now too! Great job Brian[/quote] no problem at all brian, i'm glad you like it! cheers matt
  11. [quote name='AntLockyer' post='1069978' date='Dec 27 2010, 10:47 AM']I really like it. I'm inspired enough to work on my vocals to do my own solo effort.[/quote] cool! yeah i'm no singer and only very recently, last year sometime, ever actually sang in front of anyone (backing vocals in a band i joined) but its definitly worth giving it a go! the whole solo album thing may be a lonely way to go but i really enjoyed it, sounds obvious but everytime i finished something i thought "right now the guitar/bass/whatever.... oh yeah thats me as well, awesome!" also i guess as with all of the stuff i did on this its easier to do it yourself than try to explain to someone how you want it played/sung without sounding like a dictator! cheers for listening and good luck with your project! [quote name='BottomE' post='1068229' date='Dec 23 2010, 08:47 PM']good work m8. i am into the funk/soul vibe but can appreciate work well done.[/quote] thank you for giving it a listen! its nice to hear you can find something in it to like even though its not quite your style, thats a good way to be!
  12. [quote name='bkman42' post='1069664' date='Dec 26 2010, 04:37 PM']Anyone seen any Tobias basses in UK bass stores?? Would love to get a hold of one :-([/quote] when i went to denmark street in london a couple of years ago a couple of the stores had 2nd hand tobias basses and one had new tobias renegades and growlers but they were pretty dear and i can't remember what shop it was! hmmm... helpful.
  13. [quote name='Pete Academy' post='1066148' date='Dec 21 2010, 08:43 PM']Really tight playing, Great sound.[/quote] Thanks!
  14. [quote name='Blademan_98' post='1066117' date='Dec 21 2010, 08:22 PM']Wow, really cool. I would like a CD! Can you make the tracks available for download? Cheers Brian[/quote] for some reason every time i tried to select the download thing my computer kept freezing so i gave up... i got a load of cds made though so if you PM me an address i'll stick one in the post to you! Thanks Matt
  15. [quote name='Jigster' post='1065603' date='Dec 21 2010, 01:02 PM']good work mate - the production sounds spot on, good mix - the vocals feel perhaps weakest, they sound a bit dry and don't have a lot of tone somehow, but that's just preference and I really am NOT a producer so feel free to ignore me!! I'd love to hear a bit about the set up of the recordings - ie. did you get loan of a studio? How did you capture the drum tracks, and which track did you lay down first? Also what software you used.. Nice work[/quote] cheers fo the reply, it was recorded at a local studio, I recorded a guide bass with a click track at home on audition, then rehearsed drums to that, went in the studio (they used logic 9 i believe) and recorded drums to the bass click tracks, then bass, then guitar and then all the vocals. Cheers for taking the time to give it a listen!
  16. hey all, in the summer i recorded 8 songs with me playing Guitar, Bass & Drums + 3 lots of vocals. basically tried to make it sound like a 3 piece band all singing... see what you reckon: [url="http://www.myspace.com/thebastardsonsuk"]The Bastard Sons[/url] Cheers Matt
  17. you're a brave man getting rid of these mr flateric sir, i've been trying to list my white/maple one for ages but i just can't bring myself to do it! still i guess with your collection this doesn't exactly leave you light on T40's does it! good luck with the sale!
  18. cool, thanks for the link! looks alot like the gedo musik ones to me, i'll send him an email and find out
  19. thanks for the pics Dr Phibes, the more i look at those violin type corners the more i want them! hadn't really bothered me before but now... of course the strunal doesn't have them but then, am i really that shallow? yes, yes i am. the other one i didn't include in the list (which looks exactly how i'd want it) is the[url="http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product/1244-ENGELHARDT_SWINGMASTER_ES_9_EG_9_BASS.html"]engelhardt es-9[/url] but thats because i couldn't find anywhere in europe you could get them... and there are a bunch of people on various forums saying you should just get a strunal because they're pretty much as good and easier to get hold of... hmmm. feel like i'm tying myself up in knots a bit here. i've checked on ebay loads over the past year but only ever seen the gedo musik blonde basses. guess i keep missing the good ones or my search is too specific cheers for all the info and help guys!
  20. cool, cheers for the info, things like projection and build quality are the bits that scare me really, can't tell that from pictures so thats really helpful thanks. also if anyone has any suggestions of other basses i should check out let me know
  21. i've been looking for about a year at various double basses and the only real decision i've made is i now know i definitely want a blonde! these are the ones i've found; [url="http://www.westmount-music.co.uk/product/STRUNAL_50|4_%27Blond%27_Double_Bass_3|4_SDB50-4"]Strunal[/url] [url="http://www.djmmusic.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=BF052-3-4"]Primavera[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Double-Bass-3-4-size-NATURAL-blonde-new-/380290502503?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Sting_Instruments&hash=item588b148f67"]gedo musik[/url] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_kontrabass_1_e_blond_3_4.htm?sid=caa2461ef7b9ab01c4ebbbd808d101f5"]Thomann[/url] anybody who has any experience with these please let me know your opinions, the good and bad points etc. i've been looking for a while and i don't think i'm really getting anywhere, the only one i've been able to try was the gedo musik one. A friend of mine bought one and it sounds and feels pretty good to me but its the only double bass i've ever played so what do i know!?
  22. [quote name='Dr Phibes' post='1031280' date='Nov 21 2010, 11:50 AM']I like it a lot. I've owned a few basses including a B&H and it compares favourably. It's had a few tweaks, including replacing the adjustable bridge (it rattled) with a solid one and swapping out the metal tailpiece for a wooden one, but I've no complaints. To be brutally honest I bought it because I'm a sucker for blonde basses with violin corners rather than for the acoustic tone but I've been pleasantly surprised.[/quote] cool, thanks for the reply. to be honest i have the same problem, i'm very keen to pick up a blonde double bass but finding a decent second hand one is a bit needle in a haystack so i've been looking at the various new cheapish ones but trying to pick between them is a bit tough without playing them... anyway i guess this is going a bit off topic. think i may need to start a thread about it and ask for advice cuz its starting to drive me mad
  23. have you tried a blend pedal to mix the dirt in with the clean signal rather than completely change it? i messed around for ages with tons of distortions and fuzz effects until i sussed that what i was looking for was some way of adding the dirt to my sound without destroying my clean tone. i'm currently using a barge concepts VFB-2 to blend a fulltone bassdrive in with my other sounds and i'm really happy with the sound
  24. thats what i'd heard about the lower strings but i haven't found them that bad at all, they are really thick though which took some getting used to. tone wise i get kinda of a dead thumpy sound but for what we're playing i think it works! shoulda said earlier, check out the link in my signature to 'the seven year itch' the full band songs on there are played on a stagg edb with weedwackers i see you have the blonde prima bass Dr Phibes, how is it?
  25. i like the ones i use (i [i]think[/i] they're the same as the ones you're getting...) but to be honest i'm pretty new to upright playing and the only other strings i've tried are the ones that come on a stagg edb... i think when/if i get a double bass i'll try out some decent strings but right now for the stagg these are cool, cheap and in my opinion an improvement in sound and feel over the stock strings
