[quote name='OldGit' post='627578' date='Oct 16 2009, 09:15 AM']Well Eddy Grundy has a hat with horns like that so are you in an Archers Tribute band? Fallon and the Lost Dads maybe? Alt. Borchester Country?

[quote name='Pentode' post='627361' date='Oct 15 2009, 09:20 PM']I've got the 'Xtra Clef' on this page -

Mine's done with a black strap, burgundy pad and gold clef.
It's [b]very[/b] comfortable and beautifully made - well worth the wait....[/quote]
I've got an Eyeland Straposaurus -- they're pricey but very nicely made.
Bet you can't spot the musical genre

Welcome to the forum. Where are you in Sussex?
Cheers

Yup, what Les says is right.
I've used the line out on mine straight into a desk and it worked fine.
Here's the manual, in case you don't have it.

Do you know a bassist who would go along with you to try stuff out? I'm sure somebody in your area on here would help -- most of them probably jump at any excuse to visit a music store
As to value, I'm in the 'buy the best you can afford' camp. You'll enjoy playing a decent bass and if you prefer a different brand a few years down the line at least you'll have something good to sell on.
I took up classical guitar about ten years ago, bought a stunning guitar and I loved the tone every time I picked it up. It made learning a pleasure.

Cheers, Stu. My first Basschat purchase. Thanks for making it such a pleasure

I bought Stu's Mesa Boogie 400+. His description was honest and in-depth, the comms were great and he's a really nice guy.
I'd recommend him to anyone. Buy and sell with confidence.

Like it -- it reminds me a bit of The Fixx (hope that's not an insult -- they're one of my favourites of the Eighties)

Just bought another cable from Dave -- 2m jack to Speakon -- which arrived in super-fast time, as usual. I ordered it Monday night, it was on my doormat Wednesday morning.
Amazing service, lovely cables, great bloke.

Thanks, Mr B.

Good to meet you too, mate -- and thanks for the guided amp tour and coffee.
I've handed your bank details to the missus who will work her magic as soon as possible.
And a bassic bits speaker cable is on its way.
I'll be in touch about Saturday.

Oh, and a public thank you to tayste for his advice. *huge applause noise*

Hi, Stu --
Just a couple of questions, if I may. Do you know when it was last re-valved? And when was it first sold? (I guess the receipt will tell you that).
Cheers
Mark -
I've had dealings with a guy called Chris Hewlett [[email protected]]email here[/email] who's worked for Quo and Deep Purple. He's a nice guy, seems honest and has good contacts in the national press.
Not sure how much he charges, though.

[quote name='dangerboy' post='542674' date='Jul 16 2009, 10:13 PM']Just had a little play. No neck dive at all, and in fact quite a bit lighter than my Travis Bean (which is the bass I'm used to).[/quote]
Good news -- thanks
Cheers
Mark -
Thanks, guys --
I'm really looking for the XL24 shape. Their others don't do as much for me.
Cheers

By the way, the Italian one on ebay went for £859.

[quote name='dangerboy' post='542273' date='Jul 16 2009, 02:36 PM']I have the 8-string version of this (I think joegarcia does too, but his might only be strung up as a 4).
It has the normal aluminium tonal clarity and brightness (and even more top end due to octave strings!).
It is heavy (but only by modern standards), but still lighter than a lot of my other basses. The seller doesn't seem to have mentioned the fact that it's 30" scale anywhere, but it is. The switches are coil taps and phase, I think. Anyway, it can make a lot of different noises.[/quote]
Thanks, dangerboy. Is it heavier than a Thunderbird? -- that's my benchmark.
Is the body shape comfortable? And how's the neck dive on yours?
Cheers

[quote name='ape' post='542195' date='Jul 16 2009, 01:06 PM']Its a shame you don't live closer you could of come round and had a play on mine to get an idea of what they sound and feel like and get an idea of the weight as I imagine the XL24 would sound fairly similar so you'd have an idea of what your dealing with.[/quote]
Thanks for the offer, ape. Sadly, I don't come to Nottingham often -- though I used to live there years ago.
Good luck with selling yours.
Cheers

I've had dealings with them on the drum side of things (my son's starting) and they've been wonderful.
But the bass stuff is lost in the basement. I'd probably insist on them dragging an amp upstairs to the sound-proof booths at the back -- then they'd know where I am.
They're too guitar-orientated, I'd say.
