    You want tacky pics of scantily clad women? Go buy Loaded.

    The Sei Flamboyant I used to own had a piezo bridge -- with all the treble rolled off the Barts, it did a perfect impression of an Ovation acoustic. It was a great sound. I'm seriously considering fitting a piezo bridge to a future project. [quote name='lemmywinks' post='725008' date='Jan 26 2010, 12:12 PM']I'm no expert and would appreciate verification, but i thought the buffer preamp would come before the volume/blend pot, so the impedance matches the mag pickups before it goes to the output jack?[/quote] That would be my understanding, yes.

    Sold pending the usual.

    Cool just wanted to make sure you ended up with the right article..!

    Presumably you mean Bass Guitar Magazine, not Bass Player..?

    It's the £100 'venue expenses' that would have annoyed me. If the sustenance wasn't gratis, they should have bloody said so beforehand so you'd have the option of taking it or not. If you're a five-piece band, that'd be [i]*counts on fingers, makes 3 attempts*[/i] £20 each. What a rip.

    I have a work-in-progress SX J bass in a sort of primrosey yellow. You never know, one of these days I might even finish it..! [attachment=41013:SX_girl.JPG]

    And he's put a two space gap between AND and IT. I would never even consider buying anything at all from anyone who didn't know how to use a space bar properly. Disgraceful.

    I used it as a pre-amp in a rack setup, so I figured it might be best off here with the amps.

    Primarily a microphone preamp/channel strip, this also makes a superb preamp for bass -- it has a very clean transparent sound, and the compressor is one of the best you'll find at any price. I no longer need an outboard compressor but had intended to keep hold of this unit anyway, a} because it's so bloody good and b} 'just in case' -- but to be honest I need the cash more than I need the kit. So reluctantly, it's got to go. Dosh only, no trades thanks. It's in tip top condition, spent its whole time in my rack. A tiny bit of rash on the bottom and some minor screw fixing marks (see pic) but that's all. A copy of the manual is included. One of these went for [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230423889813&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]£137 on fleaBay[/url] recently, so I reckon mine for [b]£85 posted[/b] must be a bargain. Lots of good review bites [url="http://www.guitar.com.au/effects/rack_units/focusrite/platinum/trakmaster/reviews.html"]here[/url]. [attachment=41000:trak2.JPG] [attachment=40999:trak_1.JPG]

    That Sotheby's catalogue makes fascinating reading. There were some real bargains had there -- Fender lap steel for 480 quid, Modulus 8-string for a grand, and that JG Wal for only 2k..!
  13. Rich
    The woods and the finish on the 5 are the best of the three, but the over-fussy bridge looks totally wrong. I generally love überJazzes, but those particular ones really aren't toasting my crumpet to be honest.

    Utterly tragic, such an appalling loss. Living a dream & still had his whole life ahead of him. My heartfelt condolences to all who knew or loved him.

    I'm very lucky, in that [i]all[/i] the drummers I've played with in the last 15 years or so have been rock solid and metronomic (but not at the expense of feel, thankfully). There have been a couple of ropey ones in my dim distant past though. Springsteen's 'Born To Run' speeds up quite dramatically throughout its length. [quote name='Mykesbass' post='720837' date='Jan 22 2010, 09:30 AM']I saw a drummer working with a device called the Beat Bug - it registered his snare beats and let him know if he was wandering. The guy was scarily accurate. Would strongly reccomend them to anyone who is fanatical about time keeping.[/quote] IIRC, when Phil Gould was with the increasingly sequencer-laden Level 42, he never played to a click track... he didn't need to because his timing is uncannily accurate.

    A good amp tech (or better yet, our own good OBBM) would be able to make up a special lead with all the right connections to allow you to connect this to pretty much anything you wanted, I reckon. 150 notes is stupidly cheap for this monster. Have a bijou bumpette on me.
  17. Rich
    The SMX range get slagged in some quarters, but I had a GP12SMX preamp for quite a while and it was utterly brilliant. It sounded quite neutral, didn't have the Marmite 'Trace sound' that many of the older models had, and with the two preshapes and that superb compressor it was everything you could want in a head. In fact I wish I'd never sold it. Keep yours. 80 quid? What an absurd bargain. Well done

    Show us your rig!

    Fantastic rig Joe Can I be your roadie? Not.

    New SWR Headlite

    Rich replied to molan's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Fantastic, & about time. I love SWR gear, the only reason I sold my SM900 was that the weight was just too much. So I'll be very interested to see what these titchy new things are like.
  20. Rich
    Excellent idea, I've just done it. There is now a Master Index, which will be updated as & when new sessions appear.

    The bridge is a Wilkinson. As far as I know these were never factory fitted to Fenders, and didn't even exist in the 70s.

Add to that a loud drummer, and a 4kw PA simply to try to keep a balance out front, and you've got bleeding ears and no chance of another gig at that pub. If you seriously want to lower on-stage volumes, that guitar amp has got to go and the drummer's got to have a bit of a think too.
