  1. Just waiting for York5stringer to return from a trip, then we'll decide on the choice of venues we're looking at. Sorry for delay, but the venue choice is largely dependant on numbers committed to come. But it's happening for sure on Sunday 18th 12-4 p.m. and likely to be in Sherborne. John.
  2. Did a trade with Julian. Great communications, very straightforward, friendly and trustworthy guy to deal with. Thanks, John
  3. [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1351193049' post='1848594'] The Brown Special acoustic fretless [/quote] Whoooohooo!
  4. Madness! £325??? I have a 1991 B4, its immense. Seriously underrated bass the Blade.
  5. I'll be brining an old Blade B4, Wilkes BI, Kydd EUB and am happy to bring my old DB, if people want to try groping a big old 'gal?!
  6. [quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1350981232' post='1845703'] A cheaper alternative to the K&K Bassmax is the Tacoman, available from superiorbassworks.com. It has a lower output than the Bassmax but, to my ears, has a flatter, cleaner response. At around £40 inc p&p, you'll have cash left over for a decent preamp. [/quote] I've been using a TM pickup for 2.5 years, never had feedback issues, very much like what it produces on my old ply with Prestos.
  7. No, its not that one Ash, the one I'm looking at is a private deal...:-)
  8. Thanks Ash. I don't need an EUB, but they look very portable for rehearsal, tight spaces, etc, and could be modded to be strapped like Mr. levin and his NS EUB I read about the feedback on a forum or two this afternoon, but I use a DHA DI with my DB, so would probably use that too. Damn GAS...:-) Cheers, John
  9. Hi, Has anyone any experience of these? 30" scale, have people had difficulty in changing between standard scale DB, to this? What's the tone like, fretless electric?, or "woody"? Thanks for any info. John
  10. Hi bluejay. We are looking at a choice of venues at the moment and will let people know ASAP. It will be in the Sherborne, or Shaftesbury area.
  11. It's probably the right decision Chris......., especially at that price. All the best gear seems to be in the south east at the mo' John
  12. That's very nice,......... black with maple, ...P/J config, what more do you need?....I'm sure you'll think of something..;-) Simply gawjus!
  13. [quote name='deaver' timestamp='1350736478' post='1842846'] Might be able to make it again to this one. All good stuff last time, even the bagpipe jazz bit. If anyone can offer a lift from Salisbury then all the better. [/quote] Be great to see you there Jon. Bring your PJ stuff, once someone's heard it they'll have it off you!
  14. [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1350686248' post='1842437'] Is it worth if ppl are bringing stuff to say what there bringing or not? [/quote] Up to you really. It can be quite interesting to see what will be on display. These events can be a useful place to bring stuff you're looking to sell too, as people have the chance to try it out, negotiate face to face, and take it away. So bring your cash too folks, you could go home with more than you came with, (best bring some "smuggling/cloaking devices" with you for unloading the other end).
  15. Again, thanks for the info Chris. I'll have think. I do wonder if I'm after the impossible. The nearest I had was an LMII and Epifani 1x12.....which, of course, I sold. Did the DB, open and airy when needed but deep and rocky when called upon......GAS..sigh!
  16. Bump for sale now or trade for P or J passive bass Small amp/rig/combo Acoustic 6 string Or £450 ono.
  17. Sorry for dumb question Chris, but what's the power rating on the combo alone, then with the ext. It's probably in the thread, or previous thread, but my eyes aren't seeing it. I've tried a google search and all that comes up are yours and Clarky's exchange threads!! :-) I'm wondering if this would work as a DB, electric bass and acoustic guitar "all in one set up"....?? I'm playing less electric bass these days, and more acoustic guitar and DB....sooooo....a one amp solution?? Might be up for a trip onto the M25. John
