You know I'd love to, but I'm more likely to be selling than buying in the next few months

[quote name='ped' post='254497' date='Aug 4 2008, 03:11 PM']I might have to sell my V4 soon. Moving house the other day really highlighted how much I don't use it.[/quote] Don't say that out loud to me agin. Please. I will be castrated if I even consider it!

Have a look [url="http://www.britishaudioservice.com/inst/V-Type.pdf"]HERE[/url] Not sure what the frequencies are but I think they're around 100Hz (bass), 400Hz (mid) or 1kHz (mid shift in) and 5kHz (treble).

[quote name='marcus bell' post='249304' date='Jul 28 2008, 01:42 AM']and have a range of basses,[/quote] Do you have as many as: [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='253965' date='Aug 3 2008, 10:16 PM']Nick O' Modest[/quote] ?

Circa 1995-1998 the V-Types had 2 pramp valves as per Catalin's and my amps. 1998/99 Trace brought out the revised V-Type range which was the new V4 head and combos and the V8, boht of which have far more complex valve preamps which are entirely different beasties from the Bassman-inspired earlier range. EDIT: both early and late ranges had a V4 head, hence the confusion which Ped and OBBM were alluding to!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

[quote name='clauster' post='254409' date='Aug 4 2008, 02:07 PM']Cheers Mert! I think I have GAS for a single P, passive, headless, with black hardware and walnut body Smartbass![/quote] Go on, you know you want to!

I believe all Status basses come with cases

Definite steal Kev, nice one!

Thanks guys! Mike, twas a pleasure, sorry I was kinda in a hurry - turned out our drummer didn't turn up for another hour so was no need to panic... Enjoy the cab

Welcome! Get some pics of your custom bass up in the Bass Porn section You must be one of the few people who owns/uses a Carlsboro Delta head too - very select gear all round eh?

[quote name='Monz' post='252717' date='Aug 1 2008, 01:32 PM']My first wedding gig last night... 1) Arranged with groom to be there at 6pm to give us enough time to set up and sound check - Hotel wouldn't let us in the room till 6:45, did sound check playing 1st number "Aint no snshine" 2) Told by hotel droid that we would have to set up between these two fire doors but not to encroach on egress of doors - 5 piece band on 15ft x 10ft patch of carpet 3) Timings are just a joke at weddings 4) Endless trail of drunken wazzacks trying to ask us to play really sh*t songs while we are still playing These are just a few of the minor irritations we encountered, I can see why we charge a lot more for weddings and parties now [/quote] Yup, sounds about right! Hope it went OK other than that?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='252513' date='Aug 1 2008, 09:48 AM']But being the weirdo that i am, I prefer the 5 string one on the left But then I always fancied the brunnette in ABBA more than the blonde..[/quote] Yeah, weirdo! It's ok, I'll polish the Groove and bring that too, just for you

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='251882' date='Jul 31 2008, 10:20 AM']Good man - got any photos of said bass please to whet appetite?[/quote] Of course, only too happy to show it off! (EDIT - apologies for the crappy phone pics!) Looks even cooler with the DR Black Beauty strings on it... Not got a decent pic of that at the mo tho.

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='251875' date='Jul 31 2008, 10:02 AM']Yeah yeah... don't rub it in... Sorry Mert - someone on here was talking about playing your graphite necked bass and wanting to mod a SR, so I got confused. Could you bring your Status though pls?[/quote] No worries! Possibly the_house123 (or Mike as he's more commonly known by his parents and friends!) was saying something coz he tried it out on Tuesday when he bought my Trace cab? Tis my pride and joy - the Retroactive J. That will definitely be there

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='251427' date='Jul 30 2008, 03:47 PM']Merton - can you bring your Stingray with the graphite neck please?[/quote] Don't own such a bass I'm afraid OBBM does tho

Perfect! Mike contacted me about my Trace 1x15 cab and had arrived at my flat to buy it about 3 hours later, that's fast! Lovely chap and a good player too (Mike - Buy a Status, buy a Status, buy a Status)

[quote name='bennifer' post='250319' date='Jul 29 2008, 11:45 AM']But yeah, my mum and dad are the types that like to leave the plastic wrap on to make sure something doesn't get scratched. Didn't work on the kettle when the plastic wrap melted onto the sides of it though...[/quote] My gf's dad does that with their remote controls for TV/Sky/DVD etc

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='250204' date='Jul 29 2008, 09:41 AM']CK - how come you're leaving your band??[/quote] See [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22893"]here[/url]

Yup, ugly!

I've always been an "Ashdown is wooly and horrible" person but I did a gig earlier this year where the headline band's bassist was using an ABM 2x10 combo and P-bass. F**k me did it sound good. If I was in the market for a new amp I wouldn't dismiss them quite as quickly as I have done in the past, certainly. But I'm not, I love my V-Types too much

2 preamp tubes (12AX7s) and 4 power tubes (KT88s I think?) The 2 preamp tubes are situated behing the gain control (roughly) if the board layout is the same as in my combos.
