    [quote name='logicalmike' post='861188' date='Jun 8 2010, 04:40 PM']hi there is this bass a skyline model?[/quote] Yes it is. It's also a terrific instrument - I've played it - and OBBM is a gent to deal with.

    [quote name='walbassist' post='856908' date='Jun 4 2010, 10:07 AM']Ah gotcha! Well, I haven't noticed any real loss in response, but to be honest I am quite a smooth player as I am only playing fretless and upright at the mo, so no slapping for example. I'll give my amp a more "dynamic" workout tonight and report back![/quote] Okay, played at a beer festival last night for about 600 people. Amp worked very well - one 8 ohm cab per side - and it was very loud as already noted. At the soundcheck I deliberately gave the amp a hard workout and was really pleased with how it responded.

    How would you describe the tone from this combo? Is it very modern? Also do TecAmp make an extension cab that is a perfect fit to put under this bad boy? Cheers Gareth

    great bass, great guy selling it

    Gwilym had one but I think he sold it. Might be worth dropping him a line.

    The BSRJ was Ken's first attempt at a less bling and J bass version of his US-made basses. They are very well made, as are all of Ken's US basses, have a good core tone and maintain the Smith reputation. They don't sound like his basses that have the soapbars in them, but you wouldn't expect them too. As to a price, personally, given their bolt on nature and simpler woods etc, I would say something less than £2k tops for a mint condition one. Hope that helps Gareth

    I'm using one. It's very light and has the potential to go very very loud. Seems to be usual PV reliability so far.

    I bought one of these excellent flight cases in March to rack my Demeter power amp and Crown preamp. However, I've since sold the Crown and the Peavey reaplcement is much shallower, so I'd like to get a 3u shallow case instead. The flight case is pretty much mint, used at one gig and a couple of rehearsals. Specs: [list] [*]Thon Rack 4U Economy [*]7 mm plywood panels [*]aluminum edging [*]2 spring grips [*]4 rubber feet [*]rackstrip on front only [*]40cm deep [*]dimensions: 535 x 225 x 505 mm [*]weight: 7.6 kg [/list] [size=5][color="#FF0000"]SOLD[/color][/size] Cheers Gareth

    [quote name='BurritoBass' post='851367' date='May 29 2010, 07:13 PM']OTPJ is right. The mid-late 80s had flipped the logo sizes around by that stage, these are early JV[/quote] Yes, thinking about it my mate's P was bought new 85ish and is definitely an early JV.

    I believe the much vaunted original series Squier basses from the mid to late 80s had this. Really good basses.

    [quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='850349' date='May 28 2010, 02:32 PM']Is this feasible as a one hand lift? Could you take it on the tube easily?[/quote] If you haven't already looked, the spec is 43lb (19.5kg) and measure 13.8" wide x 17.9" deep x 17.5" tall.

    Great basses and a very good price.
  19. franzbassist
    Dimensions and weight please, and where are you located?

    [quote name='Toasted' post='842099' date='May 19 2010, 02:26 PM']Yes, it's really good. I've played this bass and the midi system is one of the best I've used [/quote] Do it Joe, you know you want to!

    Quick update. Used the amp at rehearsal last night - single channel into one Euphonic Audio CXL112 - and it was plenty loud enough. Tone is big and clean. Everyone loved the lights

    [quote name='obbm' post='833778' date='May 10 2010, 11:23 PM']Doesn't look very 1U to me. [/quote] Indeed no Dave, it isn't As I said in the original post, the main criteria was a light and shallow amp; 1u was simply because I like the look of them. Fickle I know....
