  1. Great cabs. All the spec is [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=205"]here[/url]. Only reason I am selling is I have two, and really only need the one. Only gigged three or four times, and a similar number of rehearsals. I have taken the Markbass badge off, but it's obvisouly included in the sale. Comes with Roqsolid cover and original box. £490 couriered to your door, £475 collected from NE Hampshire. Cheers Gareth
  2. Soundslive and Academy of Sound often have good deals on Ashdown stuff, may be worth checking them out/getting in touch? Good BTA prices [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-BTA-300---Ex-display~ID~17452.asp"]here[/url] and [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/preowned_amps_detail.asp?stock=px-EH127XF2939"]here[/url] If cabs weren't an issue as well I'd add [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/176452-peavey-vb2-all-tube-bass-amplifier/"]Peavey VB2[/url] and [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/traynor_yba200_2.htm"]Traynor YB200[/url] as other possibilities.

  4. Andy is a top bloke. Great communication and very fast payment. I would highly recommend him.
  5. Simple sale of a valve to Lee, but great communication and instant payment. Very happily deal with Untune again!
  6. Good thread Even if a vintage bass doesn't increase in value at a rate that makes it a good investment at the moment, it will almost certainly hold its value better than a bass bought new. I have bought a number of boutique basses over the years and, much like driving a new car off the forecourt, they have always lost a large chunk of their value as soon as I picked them up - the one exception to this rule are Wals! - so now I'd rather pay a decent price for a used instrumet that I know is a fantastic player. This applies to proper vintage basses as well as instruments of more recent construction. My 1970 fretless P bass is a good example: it's an absolute tone machine and is just a joy to play. It wasn't cheap, has plenty of "mojo" and isn't 100% original as the original pots had been removed (I put a vintage set back in though ), but it will hold value. Happy hunting! Gareth
  7. Too far for me Hope you find someone!
  8. Will bought a Pedaltrain and some valves from me. He is a credit to BC with excellent comms and speedy payment. I would happily do business with him again.
  9. Good shout! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvLVSPPLZZY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvLVSPPLZZY[/url] The cool bass kicks in around 2.48 for those that are interested! One of the first basslines I ever worked out. Tricky to play and sing, and the bass tone on that album is fantastic. And welcome to Basschat!
  10. Protetcion Racket [url="http://www.djmmusic.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=GB7051"]electric bass case[/url] is pretty deep front to back, so it may well fit in one of those!
  11. I have had a similar situation for a few years now, as I both play electric and EUB at virtually every gig. Switching pedal and EQ is definitely the way to do, and my two options have been: i) Radial Bassbone, which is a great all in one unit ii) Radial i/o for the switching with a separate programmable eq pedal to give me four preshapes on the fly Both work well, but I am just in the process of selling off the i/o and eq pedal to go back to a Bassbone. Cheers Gareth
  12. Pedaltrain and Polytune ON HOLD
  13. Where are you based?
  14. Hi chaps I have no idea if anyone will be interested in this, but I have one of the original UK LB30 sleeves available. It's similar to the PRC version, but the main difference is it only has a vent on the top, rather than the top and side. £25 posted, if anyone's interested. Cheers Gareth
  15. Hello all Decided to go back to a Bassbone, so these bits are up for sale. All are in excellent condition, only three months old (gigged twice) and in original boxes. All prices are plus postage. Pedaltrain Nano with bag - £35 Source Audio Programmable EQ (four different EQ settings at the push of a footswitch!) - £110 Bigshot i/o - £55 TC Polytune tuner - £55 Discounts for multiple purchases, or trades for a Bassbone welcome, as is collection from NE Hampshire or Central London. Cheers Gareth
  16. How different do these sound to the all-valve fellas?
  17. Just leave it there. There's a slight recess on the underside of the bridge for it to slot into no?
  18. [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1347575747' post='1802790'] No prob - and what a fabulous looking bass. Have you modified the controls? [/quote] Thanks. The original pots were long gone when I bought it so I added the P Retro pictured. I've since managed to source an original set of pots and taken it back to passive.
  19. [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1347561385' post='1802516'] To clarify the Jamerson reference, it was the fretless Precision (ref is Standing in the Shadows of Motown - Life and Music of Legendary Bassist James Jamerson) - it refers to him having played the fretless on the Supremes 'Someday, We'll Be Together' - it's actually a quote from keyboard player Earl Van Dyke who said he almost threw it at the wall and said "don't you ever let me play this piece of sh*t again". Presumably didn't work how he wanted. [/quote] Well there you go, apologies To make up for the error of my ways I offer up my 1970 fretless P in (viewing only) tribute....
  20. [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1347399907' post='1800427'] James Jamerson - a noted upright and fretted Precision bass player, is reputed to have thrown a fretless Precision at the wall of the Motown studio, after using it for a session. Not precise enough, perhaps [/quote] I'm pretty sure the reputed bass was a Fender Bass V and not a fretless P.
  21. Sold my lovely Ashdown LB30 to Carl a while back. A pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.
