[quote name='bassman2790' post='1329130' date='Aug 5 2011, 07:26 PM']Is there such a thing? Is there a particular bass that I could buy now, and use as a bass, not lock it away in a glass cabinet, that will hold it's value or even increase in value over the next ten years?[/quote] How about one of these? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=149356"]Only 30 made/to be made![/url]already light reliced so no worries about using it, but looked after - who knows the value in 10 years

[attachment=86397:2011LtdCabroBass.jpg] Really like the look & description of this - but if they're only making 30 - what's the chances of even seeing one [url="http://www.musik-schmidt.de/gb-Fender-Custom-Shop-LTD-Relic-La-Cabronita-Porrazo-Precision-Bass-BLK.html"]<3k Euros![/url]

Try [url="http://www.terrapinisland.com/chitzenitza/index.php?main_page=contact_us"]Terrapin[/url] the MM isn't on their list - but send them a email request & you will hopefully get a 100% scale PDF you can print. Cheerz, John

Bloody shame to have to sell it Dan - you sure you need a car that bad? -
[quote name='walbassist' post='1326731' date='Aug 4 2011, 12:11 PM']Guy at Ashdown said they only made 20 of the 2x12s. I think there are more of the 1x12s around though.[/quote] When I ordered my LB (October 09 IIRC) there were no special 'low wattage' cabs planned, then they offered me a 212 to which I replied "surely a 112 would be fine" so they made a 'special 112' just for me so I have 112 serial #1 too, they of course went on to make a few more since then Cheerz, John Edit: [attachment=86259:Custom_C...n_112_LB.jpg] Finished 112 cab in Ashdown's workshop [attachment=86260:31_03_10_1104.jpg] Rear panel serial# 1

[quote name='tomhunt' post='1326669' date='Aug 4 2011, 11:38 AM']Cool!! I always thought Ashdown would of kept No.1 or even passed it on to a famous Ashdown user... Silly me!! Do you use yours for gigs or just home use?[/quote] I am a famous Ashdown user for christs's sake - I've got Little Bastard Number 1 how much famous do you want? Gigs? What's that then?

[quote name='bassman7755' post='1322385' date='Jul 31 2011, 07:22 PM']The sound is typically functional at best, I long to even hear someone use a set of strings that are not several years old - a fresh set of strings is pound for pound by far and away the best investment you can make yet most people I see just cant seem to be bothered. Hearing someone do some slaps/pops with dead strings especially makes me cringe.[/quote] Au contrair, mon ami - someone playing a well worn set of La Bella flats ONO would flick my switch

So if you turned up for 'your average pub gig' with a Custom shop Pino Palladino or similar, let's say £2.5+ks worth - how many people would notice?

I'm pretty sure [url="http://www.blackdogmusic.co.uk/index.php"]Black Dog Music[/url] had them but I can't see them on their website. Give them a call? Cheerz, John

[quote name='Marky L' post='1313569' date='Jul 23 2011, 09:41 AM']That does sound spot on John as I need that little bit of a cutting bite in it. I imagine it could be usuefull for working on a few light body scratches on other things too. Ta [/quote] That's exactly what I do, it's gentle but seems to take out all those little scuffs & scratches without damaging the surrounding. In fact you can use it on any surface - metal, wood painted or varnish etc. Cheerz, John

[quote name='Marky L' post='1313523' date='Jul 23 2011, 08:28 AM']Oh matron!! Actually, I've just got a neck back from a friend who nitro laquered it for me but he said I just need to give it a final rub down to bring up the shine. He did mention what to use, but I forgot and now he's out of the country and I don't want to hassle him. Advice?? Ta.[/quote] I have a old bottle of Carnuaba Polish which I find the best thing for buffing up a nitro finish, (& most everything), it's like a cream polish with a very fine cutting compound all in one. I can give you an email for the guy who makes it if you like. Cheerz, John

Paul has one of my P-bass wiring sets now, so hopefully all the bits will come together today & his P build will be a great success. It's a pleasure doing business with you Paul, best wishes for the build & let's have some pictures when it's done. Cheerz, John

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1311889' date='Jul 21 2011, 06:56 PM']I've been a proud owner of the prototype one (the one without serial numbers) since Nov 2010, and still love it to bits, never had a problem with volume issues, I either mike it up or go d.i. Best sounding amp I've ever had.

[quote name='Muzz' post='1311657' date='Jul 21 2011, 03:38 PM']- but if Ashdown brought the Drophead out as a head only for £5-600, I'd be in trouble...[/quote] Isn't that the Little Bastard?

[quote name='ellie' post='1311423' date='Jul 21 2011, 12:31 PM'][b][/b][i][/i]Hi all. I haven't been called a newbie in years lol. I finally found the time to get myself on here. Seems like a friendly place. My name is Ellie I'm a pro female bassist based in Essex ( no Essex girl jokes please lol). I front my own band as well as working with other musicians when I can. I have a number of basses, but my main workhorse these days is my Warwick Covrette ltd ed 2010 played through a TC staccato 51 rig. I've been playing since I was a teen, only a few years ago turning pro when I was 18! My latest band plays classic rock covers which is just a load of fun. Hope I haven't bored you too much cheers Ellie[/quote] Lo Le & welcome, have fun

I've been using the tcelectronic polytune for a year or so now - it's great I don't bother with the multiple string thing, just in chromatic mode. Easy to see & accurate, allows you to tune very very finely - right down - bottom A is as far as I've gone but it picks it up fine. Wouldn't change it for anything.

Chris now has one of my Jazz bass wiring kits, he's a pleasure to deal with, great comms & instant payment. No hassle, super guy to deal with. Cheerz, John

[quote name='bigjohn' post='1308021' date='Jul 18 2011, 04:10 PM']I think it's easy to tell it's a 100W (2x50W) 2x10. But what else is a bit difficult as it has no serials, model numbers, it doesn't even have the impedance on it.[/quote] Check those labels again 2x15" I reckon Ah! chris_b was typing same time as me Edit again: Looks like they're 2 x 8 Ohm units wired in series so 16 Ohm as is, you could change it to 4 Ohm if you want to wire them in parallel.

[quote name='bassybill' post='1307416' date='Jul 18 2011, 08:14 AM']Weird - I got some interest in this within minutes of posting it and so I thought I might have a sale. Then the guy has to back out (before we'd agreed anything firm, I should add) because he had some very bad luck and his personal circumstances changed. Since then, very quiet. So, BUMP - at least, tell me what you think of the look and condition of the bass. Am I asking too high a price, ya think? Comments appreciated.[/quote] Looks great condition, I love the trans orange but it maybe not flavour of the month Not a MM person myself, I think your price is good - the market is just so bad, spare cash is a rare thing for most. Good luck with the sale, hope the right buyer will be along - er soon. Cheerz, John

[quote name='fatboyslimfast' post='1306975' date='Jul 17 2011, 07:30 PM']At the risk of being told "go google"...whassat then?[/quote] GHS Fast Fret™ String and Neck Lubricant / String Cleaner for All Stringed Instruments. Not a spray! Contains no silicone. It’s a liquid in an applicator. Use it on strings, fretboard, back of neck. Lets fingers slide freely, keeps strings clean, is good for wood.

GHS are my favourite string makers - then one day I saw this Fast Fret advertised, thought I'd try it for £5. As it happens I love it! To be fair though I've only used it on Flatwounds. Vote please
