    I'll be leaving shortly to go and see the Quo in Glasgow but will reply to any questions/PMs etc when I get home later on.

    Obviously its getting near Christmas and no one has any money at this time so I am open to trades. I've put a value of £360 on the Trace and I'd be happy to get £250 for the Vox cab, so with that in mind, I am interested in, but not limited to trades for: Trace Head Gallien 700RB II, 800RB Trace 4x12" cab an all valve amp - not sure what but 200w will be enough. If you have anything else then let me know, I don;t have anything specific in mind but I dont need any more basses - I'm more than happy with my Precision

    The second item I am selling is an early 70s Vox Super Foundation 2x15" cab There are no drivers installed and the originals are long gone. I was going to get a couple of eminence drivers for this as WinISD shows the Delta LF ones to be the most efficient and provide the best response for the size of the cab. i was also going to fit a new back panel with handles installed and ports so as to preserve the original but I've never got round to it so its been a very large ornament in my livingroom for the last couple of months. Absolutely no idea how much this is worth but there is a company in the US doing them and I think it was working out at about £400 odd to have a reproduction one made and sent over without speakers.

    A couple of impulse buys means that I have a couple of things that I'll probably never use. The first thing I have for sale is a 1985ish Trace Elliot 1110 4X10" combo. Cosmetically its in pretty damn good condition with only some surface marks on the sides and a small tear on the front that I had to search to really find. The original owner that I bought it from had it from new and while working in Essex, popped into Trace and had them modify it to accept an extension cab and while he was at it, had them add a 1/4" input which, when connected, would bypass the amp and allow it to be used a 4x10". The last one of these that went on Ebay went for £360 a couple of weeks ago and that was without the Trace mod to be able to add an extension cab. The GP11s have a 150w amp but as per usual Trace watts are louder than anyone elses - I'm not sure exactly how it works whether its 150w on its own and something like 225w with an extension cab or 150 watts with another cab and 80w on its own. I can;t find any details to clarify this. Its loud whatever it is. I'm not going to bother you with the ebay flannel since most of you will know what this is but if yu need any more info then feel free to get in touch.

    I remember seeing a pic in a mag years ago of Nathan East holding a Clevinger Junior which was a smaller version of the electric upright you could wear with a strap - seems that Neddie's caught up in the pic above.

    When I was playing 12 string basses I used to plug into an Owen bass Gremlin which had 2 outputs and take one signal to my bass rig for bass funnily enough and the high end to a Trace TVT9 guitar combo for high end distorted stuff. Easy peasy - the way forward is either an effects pedal with 2 outputs, an A/B/Y box or wire your pickups separately like a Rick with a stereo cable to send each pickup to a different amp. I did have a 12 string bass that I wired the pickups separately with 2 outputs but the Rick style option would've been neater

    I took my now gone gold warmoth into Jimmy Moon's to have some work done and I got it back with what was the only setup I have ever had that has suited my style of playing. most people will set up a bass exactly how they think it should be setup - my version of a setup is almost always different to what theirs is. Either leave it as it is if you like it or do it yourself and make note of what you touch and by how much in case you don;t like it

    Fender Bass V, Coronado II, Sting's personal 1957 single coil Precision, one of John Deacon's original precisions. Warwick Thumb NT5 with no neck dive. Ditto about a Thunderbird Classic cars - Vauxhall Firenza Droopsnoot, Ford Granada Mk1 coupe, Skoda Rapid 136 & 110R, Ford Cortina Mk3 Crayford convertible. Modern Cars - Bugatti Veyron, Bentley Coupe, Porsche Cayenne. This Friday's Euromillions jackpot to myself

    I could be wrong but that sounds more like a late 80s Precision Bass Plus Deluxe - does it have a smaller headstock than normal and fine tuners on the bridge like an Elite series bass? If so then the serial should still be on the headstock

    [quote name='Stingray5' post='675866' date='Dec 6 2009, 04:59 PM']Lovely collection. I have to ask -- could you pick a 'desert island bass' from that lot? [/quote] it'll be the new one innit? yes it is, no its not etc its behind you

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='675774' date='Dec 6 2009, 03:27 PM']Yes, I looked him up. Strangely, his bass has been stolen from the Tussauds collection figurine of him. Anything to confess? [/quote] It wisnae me officer. some older boys did it and ran away
  13. Delberthot
    He was the late frontman/ bass player / did you spill my pint? from Thin Lizzy I'm not a big fan, its just a coincidence that this ended up looking like his bass

    [quote name='basshead56' post='671460' date='Dec 1 2009, 07:30 PM']maybe a tad old-fashioned, but what about a nice 3ply black one? I reckon the gold would look a wee bit weird. or if you wanna make it look dead-flash, what about a mirror one? Would love a walnut jazz actually. What year/edition is it?[/quote] did someone say mirror?

    The body of my new precision is from an October 2009 MIM precision. Feels quite weighty compared to the mid 80s japanese one that it replaces - another excuse to show a picture of it.
  16. Delberthot
    Most of the basses I have owned have had pictures taken on my settee, these are the most recent - all gone except the black one. usually when they have their pictures taken, its either to put in a porn thread here or to get them onto Ebay
  17. Delberthot
    Unfortunately not - sold it when I began my phase of '4 strings is enough'. what a fool. Absolutely incredible under the lights
  18. Delberthot
    Its new and shiny so its going in every thread it'll fit Basses on the couch next :brow:

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='675673' date='Dec 6 2009, 01:44 PM']Nice looking bass. Not sure on the tie-fighter and the mirror, though! To each their own, though! As to your tort scratch guard comments, I'm not sure on that one. The P isn't exactly a modern bass, it's a relic of the 50's. Isn't it meant to look "classic"? Bet that Lollar sounds huge, though![/quote] When I said classic, I meant the Phil Lynott bass is one of those famous basses that most bass players recognise. Too much time spent on Talkbs with thread after thread of 'show us your tort guards' made me really despise them. I think sunburst is the only colour that really gets away with it. The pickup is phenomenal. about £85 delivered but well worth it. Oh, I also have Darth Vader, C3P0 and Boba Fett knobs - do you think one of those would look better? I've also got the matching Star Wars strap - all released by Schecter in the 90s, I bought the set

    Which takes me nicely up to date with this There's only about 40 basses missing from this that I didn't take pictures of or can't find them I'm still missing 3 or 4 stingrays, 2 Rickenbackers, Fenders, Cheap crap - not japcrap, just crap. my black 5 string stingray and other stuff long forgotten
