    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='420899' date='Feb 27 2009, 01:58 PM']I got made redundant for the third time in 12 months today so it seems like I'm probably going to be leaving the UK if I want to escape the shadow of job insecurity. Besides which I potentially face a rental bill for 6 months minimum term.[/quote] Sorry to hear that CK.

I like the look of it but need it to handle small/medium gigs![/quote] Where are you located? You're welcome to come and try it out if you are anywhere near Hampshire?

It was plenty loud enough for that.

    I want to buy the mini Schroeder that's for sale on here at the mo, so I need to shift this first. You can get all the details from the [url="http://www.eaamps.com/product_detail.asp?ID=289"]EA website[/url]. I've only had it since the beginning of January and it is totally mint and ungigged, and it also comes with the very groovy backpack that EA make for it, details of which can be found [url="http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product/1602-EA_BACKPACK_FOR_MICRO_300_AND_WIZZY_10.html"]here[/url]. Cheers Gareth

    And is it a new neck? If so, it may take a while to bed down.

    And a visit to a chiro may help too. I saw one when I had restricted movement in my right arm and she freed it up very fast.

    [quote name='Gwilym' post='410065' date='Feb 15 2009, 02:18 PM']hi Gareth - what gauge are they - are the the "Burner" nickel set?[/quote] Yep, those are the fellas. Mediums so 45-65-85-105-130 IIRC. Of interest?
  12. franzbassist
    Ken Smith tapercore nickel set of interest Gwil?

    [quote name='jmesa' post='402248' date='Feb 6 2009, 06:32 PM']Having recently fallen back in love with my Mesa 6x10, I figure I don't need 2 stupidly large cabinets...[/quote] I so wanted this a while back, when it was the 610 you were selling, but have moved on now... Best of luck with the sale. At that price it should fly out the door.

    Nice bass Matt, my guess is that's an early 90s vintage. I had a 6 made around that time that was very similar in styling and appointments.
  15. franzbassist
    Try Elixirs. They're expensive but they last forever and are really fast with minimal finger noise.
  16. franzbassist
    I would recommend Ken Smith tapercores, they are most excellent strings.

  18. franzbassist
    Oh wow, walnut and fretless, my favourite combination...

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='394517' date='Jan 29 2009, 01:16 PM']I thought Derek Smalls played a Sei bass? The only Alembic with a split pick up IIRC was the Persuader which is now discontinued.[/quote] BC Rich wasn't it?

    [quote name='Bassmanc' post='391860' date='Jan 26 2009, 04:10 PM']I have a beautiful Fylde King John Acoustic bass guitar. Sure it's huge, 34" scale and a deep dreadnaught jumbo body, but it's as lond as you need to accompany other acoustic instruments.[/quote] Ooh, let's see some pictures please!

    [quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='373505' date='Jan 7 2009, 09:10 PM']Great guy to deal with. Doug bought a set of Fender Somarium Cobalt Noiseless jazz pickups from me. Excellent communication throughout.[/quote] Bought an OBBM cable off me and was a total gent. Fast payment and great communication throughout.

    [quote name='mcgraham' post='393581' date='Jan 28 2009, 12:35 PM'] It'll be fine. I play and fret very lightly. My other bass had small vintage sized Fender frets and there was little to no fret wear after 4 years of playing around 4 hours a day most days. So good quality ones should be fine... I hope! Mark[/quote] Glad you reacted in the light hearted way I meant the comment to be taken! Seriously love the way you can get that almost fretless thing going with mando/banjo frets, but as you say, a light touch is vital, plus you won't have a low B pounding them into oblivion!!
  23. franzbassist
    Sweet looking bass. I had a lot of dealings with Enrico when he was staring up and he's uber passionate about his stuff. Banjo frets eh? How much does a full refret cost every year I wonder...

    [quote name='Shockwave' post='388343' date='Jan 22 2009, 11:26 AM']Fender 51' reissue P bass in tobacco burst, Japanese.[/quote] Hi Rob How much do you want for this beastie? Cheers Gareth
  25. franzbassist
    Sold a cable to Peter. He paid for it immediately and was a pleasure to deal with.
