  1. BUMP again - as there's a splurge of Trabens on ebay at the moment
  2. [quote name='Marvin' post='912571' date='Aug 2 2010, 10:25 AM']One is a Korg GA-30 (small cheap little thing) the other is the tuner on a Zoom B2.1u pedal. Tune up on one and the other will then say you're slightly flat (sometimes sharp) and vice verca. I'm assuming it's because neither is particularly accurate as they are fairly cheap (i suppose).[/quote] Have you checked they're both set at 440Hz?
  3. [quote name='EddyGlee' post='909486' date='Jul 29 2010, 05:36 PM']Dunno ... it's a GL fest out there Should buy mine for knowing it's Geddy Lee's Birthday today! [/quote] Good spot = good luck with the sale!
  4. 6 in all - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=19"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=19[/url] - taken at 19:09 Edit: Sorry I didn't state a price!
  5. [quote name='flyfisher' post='909494' date='Jul 29 2010, 05:56 PM']Is Waters never going to move on from The Wall? Yawn.[/quote] He did - it don't sell tickets - end of.
  6. [quote name='Stag' post='909146' date='Jul 29 2010, 12:42 PM']Im seated watching at the O2! Did you watch him do DSoTM? I watched it 3 years running in three different venues... lol[/quote] I can remember 1973 Earls Court - I've even still got the bootleg LP I bought on the steps, the ticket stub & programme - the T shirt has long since gone! First time I saw the Floyd was the free concert in Hyde Park in '68, Atom Heart Mother, loved them ever since.
  7. [quote name='RussFM' post='909309' date='Jul 29 2010, 02:56 PM']I'd love to... but I'd never pay such ridiculous prices for one evening's entertainment. If it was £40 I'd go, but £75 plus booking fees? And I'd have to get the other half one. And then pay for travel to either London or Manchester. Hm, no.[/quote] Tickets direct from O2 online @ £67.25 & no booking fee - worth every penny IMHO. It ain't often I'll travel to that London but as it's Roger PS In July '90 I was working for the company that did the official video of The Wall Live in Berlin, up above the mixing desk with the AV gear, I'll never forget it!
  8. YES! Tickets went on sale today - SORTED! - got mine, anybody else going? Manchester dates = May 20/21 Ooooooooooooh it's a long time since, October 94 IIRC. [url="http://tour.rogerwaters.com/"]Roger Waters Tour[/url] Cheerz, John
  9. [quote name='BassBod' post='905564' date='Jul 26 2010, 10:58 AM']One thing I forgot to mention - the string earth (thru bridge) doesn't work with black plastic strings. I've never had a problem with buzz or noise, but its worth remembering.[/quote] Possible if strung through body but if the ball end is in the bridge you will get continuity through the string core. Your body touching the strings outer only won't have any effect.
  10. [quote name='bassmansky' post='903784' date='Jul 24 2010, 09:26 AM']Always been good to me,cant praise them enough.[/quote] +1 They could not have been more helpful when I wanted to 'update' my Mini48 cab to look the same as my Little Bastard cab. Superb customer service, always reply to emails, a good example to some others! Cheerz, John.
  11. Bumpity bump please ta.
  12. Any info on Andrea's white P bass? Cheerz, John
  13. This is one I've modified to 4 out on a daisy chain, currently powering Tuner, LEDs + 2 pedals. I can make mods like this or whatever to suit your needs - PM me Cheerz, John
  14. [quote name='tom1946' post='900083' date='Jul 20 2010, 02:32 PM']No love for this gorgeous P?[/quote] It would be nice if you could answer the questions I put in my 5th July post & PS - Is it a one piece neck or stuck on maple fretboard? Cheerz, John
  15. [quote name='OldGit' post='899863' date='Jul 20 2010, 11:51 AM']99ster spotted this [url="http://www.gruhn.com/catalog/b.htm"]http://www.gruhn.com/catalog/b.htm[/url] (Garry Beers of INXS - selling his basses)Including his amazing custom built one-off Perspex P Bass.... [/quote] That is ace! Neat wiring too - you sure it's a Fender Who put the P in Perspex - - - - was it the same bloke that put the (*nt in Scunthorpe
  16. [quote name='dannybuoy' post='899248' date='Jul 19 2010, 06:42 PM']I hope the new range have rude names too. Little Bastard, Medium M***erF***er and Massive C**t.[/quote] MoFo's been done long time, if you [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/"]Watch Ashdown TV[/url] closely you'll see a Hayden MOFO in all it's glory! You have to be quick though, just a glimpse onn the vid, they had the full M.th3r F.ck3r badges on at Musikmesse, I haven't seen them in the UK though! Cheerz, John
  17. [quote name='sk8' post='899865' date='Jul 20 2010, 11:53 AM']my LB has been fixed and is on its way back to me Great service from ashdown[/quote] Hey sk8 what's been fixed? Just being nozey like Cheerz, John
  18. Great to see Ashdown represented on the forum at last I've always found them very helpful & friendly to deal with + it is good to support a British company. Cheers, John
  19. "The neck is straight, and the truss rod works fine. The frets seems to be original, and are like new. The only thing that maybe it's not original is the brass nut, but I'm not sure. The witdh at nut is 40mm, and the neck is thin and comfortable (similar to a jazz neck)" First time I've heard of a neck with a 40mm nut on a '73 Precision? I read they changed from the 'C' 1&3/4" to the 'B' 1&5/8" in 72/73. Always thought the 40 mm [i]was/is[/i] a Jazz neck & it was much later they started swapping around?
  20. All I can say is that I had the first LB in the UK (end of March) & I told Ashdown about the switches etc. They've obviously not updated the online manual. No I didn't get a hard copy either! The Up for On is (in my mind) the American way - must be why it seems right to Ben (LuvMusic), but I see it as wrong simply because it's upside down to the notation. I think the guy that designed the amp didn't talk to the guy doing the front panel layout! It's the Bright & Mute that are wrong (to me) the Bass Shift & Mid Shift could be either way Take any switch in the world - if you switch it toward the notation, be it On or OFF - O or I - Loud or Quiet - Mute Bright whatever, what do you expect? It's a lovely little amp though does exactly what I want - beautifully & sounds great Cheers, John
  21. I forgot to mention - my current gas/lust is a '57 Vintage White/Blonde - just how I like my woman too
  22. [quote name='BurritoBass' post='897630' date='Jul 17 2010, 09:28 PM']Further to my earlier post, I found a stand for the 51RI & have also assembled a further P-bass mainly from 70s parts [/quote] Good to see thumb bars in the right place Nice collection Burrito Here's my 2&1/2 - the Bello has a P neck
  23. I have some 'Heavy Duty' 9 Volt DC, 1 Amp UK plug in adaptors for sale - decent quality - perfect for powering your pedals - fitted with 5.5/2.1 mm plug on >1.5m lead. Wired centre + but can soon be changed. These are not the usual feather light jobs, so hopefully should last for years & with 1000mAh output have enough power to daisy chain a few pedals (depending on individual current requirement). Brand new & boxed. They weigh 550g nett so P&P is not cheap, selling for £6.00 each posted - UK - 1st class. PayPal OK. PM me for details please, first come first served. PS If you have any specific wiring configuration requirement let me know & I'll see what I can do (a small fee may apply;-) Edit: I can add plugs & wire to suit at cost of £1.00 per extra plug, so a 4 way daisy chained as shown will cost £9.00 Cheers, John
  24. IIRC one of my mates got the same upgrade back in the early 60's - the 'new electronic pick-up' was a Hofner made 'bolt on' made to screw to the bottom end of the neck & the controls console made to fit over the tailpiece. Probably very collectable now if it still works & no reason why it wouldn't! Cheers, John
