  1. No longer made, but our Nissan Terrano has done a terrific job for us for a while now. I can fit two PA subs and all the gear in my sig in it no problem, plus it has had no trouble getting up and down the snowbound single track hill we live on!
  2. A few pictures I took when I received the bass. I shall snap more in due course.
  3. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1113730' date='Feb 3 2011, 12:21 PM']And it was, the guy is trying it on.[/quote] Absolutely. [i]Caveat emptor[/i], as always, applies; if he wanted to know the condition of the case he should have asked.
  4. Do we need more pictures? Sound clips perhaps?
  5. I have Innovation Silver Slaps on my bass. They are nice, low tension and bow pretty well too. Not that expensive either.
  6. [quote name='TheGreek' post='1107407' date='Jan 29 2011, 05:38 PM']If Philw's fretless 4 string is anything to go by this must be some bass - I own 2 Veillettes from the 80s and can't speak highly enough about them - the modern stuff must have got better..Hope you get (something like) what this is worth..[/quote] Thanks for the post TheGreek. It's a great bass, and makes a fine stablemate to my Veillette Archtop (which I should add is almost certainly "the one"), but as I said in the OP I'm just not playing it and would rather release the funds. It's certainly going no lower than the £1800 I've now got it advertised at. Cheers Gareth
  7. [quote name='philw' post='1104515' date='Jan 26 2011, 10:50 PM']and could be prized from my sweaty grasp if somebody wanted it....[/quote] !!!!!!!
  8. As a relative newbie to upright, I put some temporary dots on the side of my BSX when I first got it. However, I removed them pretty quick as, quite frankly, they were offputting and I spent more time looking at them than listening to what I was playing.
  9. Just picked up Toasted's Zoom H2 (thanks Joe) and I am amazed at how good it sounds. After downloading Reaper, I hooked it up to my PC and, after a couple of minutes setting levels and working out the basics of Reaper, recorded three tracks (one mandolin rythym track, one lead mandolin track, double bass) and finished my first tune! I think this will be really a really useful bit of kit, both for recording gigs and rehearsals, as well as more studio based stuff. Well chuffed! Gareth PS I would upload the tune, but unfortunately I deleted it by mistake!!!
  10. Just bought a Zoom H2 from Joe. He posted it on the afternoon we agreed the deal, even though I couldn't get to the bank to pay him until that evening. Item was 100% as described. Definitely one of the good guys.
  11. These are great cabs. I had two of the 1x12s from this era and they really were superb.
  12. [quote name='fiatcoupe432' post='1099075' date='Jan 22 2011, 08:59 PM']if this one was fretless........ my god just a beauty[/quote] Defrets are not expensive
  13. Putting up the set of [b]1/2 scale [/b]Spiro Weich plus a medium low B that came fitted to my BSX Allegro. They've seen better days, with some fraying of the silks and tape separation at the headstock end of the strings, but they tuned up okay when I put them on the BSX when it arrived (it had been shipped with the neck off) before I replaced them with Silver Slaps. They are about 60" total length, made up of 5.5" ball end silk, then 48" actual string, then 14-15" [A and D], 9" [E and G] and 8" [low B] of silk at the headstock end. Cheers Gareth [color="#FF0000"]NOW SOLD[/color]
  14. UK dealer says it'll probably be £799 RRP.
  15. [quote name='Bassman' post='1096693' date='Jan 20 2011, 07:22 PM']But how much ? I'm scared about the price...[/quote] Yes, that's the bottom line for me too. If it's a competitive price I am sure I'll buy one to replace the M-300, if not the M-300 will do just fine.
  16. [quote name='bumnote' post='1096662' date='Jan 20 2011, 07:04 PM']Is this the same man as was selling his PJB a week ago? [/quote] Yes indeed! I have wanted the D600 ever since I first saw the protoype, so this is one change that will happen!
  17. Gilles, when this arrives you can buy my M-300 (if you still want it)
  18. [quote name='james_guitar' post='1094732' date='Jan 19 2011, 02:53 AM']Gareth = I'm fairly torn between either a PJB or EA head. If the EA Doubler sounds as good as the PJ M300 head through my cab, I'd rather go for that as it's considerably lighter. I noticed in the Sale section of the forum that you almost sold your PJB rig to buy an EA rig... - Was this because of weight, or purely because of sound? If it was the sound, was it the EA head you prefered, or the EA cab? - Have you tried an EA head through your PJB cabs? If so, did it sound as good as your PJ head and which head did you try/consider?[/quote] Hi James Truth is I think both are great setups. I watched a video of my band playing last Saturday, where I used my full PJB rig, and it sounded amazing; the room was filled with wonderfully warm yet articulate bass, but without any boom. Haven't tried EA into PJB. I like the EA micro heads because they are small and powerful, but the M300 is more versatile. I have a felling the Doubler or Micro with a PJB cab would be the ideal solution... Does that help? Gareth
  19. [quote name='EskimoBassist' post='1093785' date='Jan 18 2011, 01:24 PM']Free bump for a FANTASTIC piece of kit. Absolutely brilliant for full band live recordings or more pristine solo efforts.[/quote] Which is whay I am going to buy it!
  20. Hi Joe What condition is it in? SD card and PSU included? Cheers Gareth
  21. [quote name='owen' post='1093259' date='Jan 17 2011, 10:51 PM']Why is there a garden hose fitted on the back of the amp? Is it for cooling?[/quote] Indeed, not to mention the ride on mower and mountain bikes that I included as optional extras!!
  22. Sorry folks, decided to withdraw this as I really can't justify the expense of changing rigs even if I do sell this. Apologies.
  23. [quote name='Bassman' post='1092850' date='Jan 17 2011, 06:01 PM']Hello, won't you split ? (M300)[/quote] Hi Gilles The amp and custom flight case would be £625 plus shipping. Cheers Gareth
  24. [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='1092545' date='Jan 17 2011, 02:36 PM'] Thought that rig would be a keeper Gareth.[/quote] There's very little in it to be honest. I really like this rig and won't lose any sleep if it doesn't sell. The Cub is definitely a keeper.
  25. Hello all I have no real desire to sell this rig, but a real lack of finances force my hand.... What you get: [list] [*]One M300 amp wth custom flight case [*]Two 6B cabs with soft covers plus one padded cover from Hotcovers [*]One PJB speaker cable [/list] You can see my review of the rig [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=99150"]here[/url]. I don't think I need to add anything, other than to say this is a hell of a lot of rig! Price is a very firm [b]£1500[/b] for a six month old rig that would total £1900 if you bought it new. Buyer collects from NE Hampshire. Thanks Gareth
