    I bought one of these and always thought that my cab was always on the edge of breaking up. One night at a marquee venue, two songs from the end, it cut out. A minute later it came back on and a week later it was out of here. replaced it with a Hartke LH1000 which I run in bridged mono and the cab is very, very loud with no hint of getting anywhere near its limit. After An Orange Terror Bass, Shuttle 6.0, Gallien MB500 and this I've had it with light weight heads. There's a certain amount of heft missing from all of them that I can only get from solid state amps

    Those blocks don't look right. They're all abalone multi coloured - stick on jobbies perhaps and that's what's throwing everyone?

    My Chromes sound just as bright and trebbly after a year than they did when they were new.

    Personally, it would have to be Sting's single coil Precision, not the current Fender model, his actual one And, a 30th anniversay unlined fretless Stingray of which I think there were 20 or 28 made

    EB recommend Murphy's Oil soap which I haven't been able to find in the UK, however, [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Soap-floors-furniture-wood-surfaces/dp/B00383OJ2Q"]this[/url] is apprently very similar, if not the same.

    There are loads of short scale choices out there now if you want something that sounds different. Squier have the Mustang, Tele in 2 versions, The Mikey Way Mustang & Bronco. Fender have the Mustang and Pawn Shop Mustang. Gretsch do the Junior Jet 1 & 2 and so on. I don't think there's ever been so much choice for short scale basses. If you want to go down the route of picking and choices woods, electronics etc, Warmoth now do [url="http://www.warmoth.com/Bass/ShortScale/"]short scale[/url] designs

    I've been having a good old rake around for a second bass to go with the Precision and have been on Youtube a lot looking for some demos to give me a rough idea of what something will sound like. Is it just me or do the vast majority of people who post on Youtube not have any concept of the purpose of a demo? ie to give someone else an idea of how it sounds in a normal band situation. If I hear another video of "Portrait of Tracy" then I'm going to throw something at the telly. Likewise for tapping and general w***iness. I want to hear a bass played with fingers, a pick and slapped as a last resort. I want to hear a fretless played normally and not with vibrato covering 5 frets on every note. There's even an official Fender video where the entire demo is with a pick with heavy distortion so you can't even hear the bloody thing properly. Also demos of certain basses tend to be played the way you'd expect them to be played. ie every Hofner violin bass is played with a plectrum, every old school semi acoustic is played with the right hand at the end of the neck. I've heard the bass player from either Airborne or Wolfmother playing an Epiphone Jack Cassady with a pick and it sounded awesome

    [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1382422015' post='2251820'] I've seen some s/h ones on eBay for silly money [/quote] You're not kidding - I've just had a look and there's a fair few have sold for less than £1000 As much as Ilike the colour I think the blue may not be for me as it'll show up every little swirl & finger mark. I'd love to get my Blue Boy back. [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Rickenbackers/DSC01673Large.jpg.html"][/url]

    I'm looking specifically for a Rick 4003 in midnight blue but nowhere I've checked so far has one in stock and they're all months away from having any. Has anyone been anywhere recently that has had any in stock? Thanks in advance
  12. Delberthot
    Price drop time. £320 + £12 postage by bank transfer, cash or gold dabloons

    Of course - here's my car, you can clearly see the registration, there are cameras in the car park, you can clearly see me so the obvious next move is to bludgeon you to death with a tyre iron Bumtree seems to attract a lot of tyre kickers and crackpots
  14. Delberthot
    This is still for sale - the guy who was interested in it accused me of being dodgy because I offered to meet up with him in a car park to make it easier for him to get to me. Very angry right now
  15. Delberthot
    I have some interest on Bumtree so if anyone's been watching this and interested then let me know.

    Panic over - I've been gigging the last few nights so hadn't had the chance to respond due to trying to catch up on sleep. PM sent

    I don't think that there's enough between them that can't be sorted with a change of strings or an adjustment of your amp. If you prefer the look of something then don't go getting something that you don't like as much. For example if you click on the link below in my sig for my Precision, I would never even have gone to Glasgow to look at it had it been a rosewood fretboard, never mind bought it. Likewise, if you look at the olympic white jazz that I am selling, I would never have bought it in the first place had it been maple.

    I've been asked to provide some sound clips so go easy on me, its the first time I've done this. They were recorded on the Jazz using the Rotoround Flats directly into a Line6 Backtrack. I haven't touched the recordings (wouldn't know how to ) and they include all mistakes. Sir Duke & Kansas were with bridge volume full and neck slightly rolled off, Hey Bulldog was the opposite way round and there's a wee jam thing in there where I swap from one to the other [url="https://soundcloud.com/delberthot/sir-duke-wav"]https://soundcloud.c...ot/sir-duke-wav[/url] [url="https://soundcloud.com/delberthot/hey-bulldog-wav"]https://soundcloud.c...hey-bulldog-wav[/url] [url="https://soundcloud.com/delberthot/jam-wav"]https://soundcloud.c...berthot/jam-wav[/url] [url="https://soundcloud.com/delberthot/carry-on-wav"]https://soundcloud.c...ot/carry-on-wav[/url]

    A very good price

    Well I did take this to tonight's gig and all I can say is wow. I was playing through the house backline which is an Ampeg PF500 and an Ampeg cab that sounds like it is full of cotton wool - at least that's how it makes you sound Although it did not sound as good as it would through my setup I was very impressed with it. Playability is fantastic. It was an effortless gig and I found the funk that had been hiding since I began my rock phase a couple of years ago If it's still here on Saturday then I'll be gigging it. I believe the backline supplied is an SVT Pro II and 8x10" although I'll still take my own just in case I don't get on with it
  21. Delberthot
    I'm giving serious thought to taking this to Whistle Binkies in Edinburgh for tonight's gig to give it another try and also if there's any local interest you can hear this tonight from 9.45

    My Roto flats cost me £30 and I've had them 5 years, don't get much cheaper than that. £6 per year

    As well as preserving the label inside with the model number I also had the foresight to take a picture of the model number as well in case I needed to contact Ibanez to see about a replacement decal etc and I believe that should the EQ not be fixable it is still possible to buy them or at least was the last time I checked
