  1. I have an EBS Octabass pedal which I don't use anymore. Its the old model so not true bypass I guess - although I am not an expert. Good condition but no box or instructions, just the pedal. Yours for £35 posted to mainland UK.
  2. Looks great value for money to me! The fact that it has not been snapped up already shows just how bad the market is out there. Great bargains to be had if you are a buyer with nothing to sell!
  3. Love it! Shouldn't last for long on here. Fortunately I am managing to suppress the GAS for a Stingray. Have a bump - not that you need it!

    obbm's feedback

    Bought several cables from Dave - never occured for me to leave feedback before, so take this one as a way of catching up. Great cables - really don't know why anyone would go anywhere else!
  5. Just collected my GK 700RB Combo from Rich. A easier deal I could not wish for. A credit to the Basschat Marketplace and a guy I would have no hesitation in dealing with again (but he can't have the GK back!). Thanks again Peter
  6. [quote name='Wil' post='1199621' date='Apr 14 2011, 05:07 PM']I had a Cube 30 and I wish I'd never sold it. Stonking sounding little box.[/quote] +1 ... and they are going at a good price now.
  7. [quote name='normontour' post='1194660' date='Apr 10 2011, 02:53 PM']Sod all the batteries you can buy in tescos or maplin. Just go Procell by Duracell. They are cheap and long lasting [url="http://www.buyabattery.co.uk/paintball-9v-batteries-alkaline-duracell-procell-mn1604-p-1730.html?osCsid=4d54b12f5182e7d331913276f4562534"]http://www.buyabattery.co.uk/paintball-9v-...1913276f4562534[/url] You can buy a box on there of 50 for £37. Almost every band I have worked with [and thats a lot] use these.[/quote] Great tip ... thanks
  8. [quote name='BigBeatNut' post='1177323' date='Mar 26 2011, 03:20 PM']Rockbags seem fine to me, as does my newly acquired Mono ... but that ones out of your price bracket.[/quote] Yes I really like the mono but it is too much!
  9. [quote name='chriswilliams666' post='1176788' date='Mar 26 2011, 12:58 AM']Without a doubt [url="http://www.fusion-bags.com/"]Fusion Gigbags[/url] IMO the best on the market. They do a whole range from £20 - £150 with everything in between depending on budget![/quote] Nice one ... they look really interesting.
  10. [quote name='StevieC' post='1134039' date='Feb 20 2011, 08:50 AM']My old 'Catch-O-Matic' stand has been absolutely great. I haven't seen any original versions around, but would buy another if I came across one. Here's a picture of the latest version... [attachment=72734:Catch_o_...ic_stand.gif] Steve[/quote] I really wanted one of these and thought I had got on on ebay but the Royal Mail intervened and trashed the stand. Got my money back immediately from the seller with no hassle but fed up that I nearly had the stand!
  11. Any chance of picture(s) and location ?
  12. It's my pleasure to start up a feedback thread for Jon, who now owns my much loved Ric. Great guy to deal with, good communications, no hassle payment. I would have no hesitation dealing with him again.
  13. [quote name='Pkomor' post='1163910' date='Mar 16 2011, 12:18 AM']protec contego looks like the best option for good protection in your pricerange i'd say![/quote] And a good price at Thomman too! May go for this
  14. Looking for a nice robust, well padded gigbag for my G&L L2000. Budget around £60 max. Fed up with lugging my case around (which does not fit in my car boot!). Any experiences and recommendations would be welcome. If it can carry misc. cables etc. as well that would be a bonus.
  15. Wow ... I knew the market place was slow but felt I was asking a realistic price bump!
  16. Supply and demand early price reduction bump
  17. After much thought I am posting my beloved [b]Rickenbacker 4003[/b] for sale. My band is in limbo at the moment and I don't have any gigs, my Wife wants a new kitchen, I cannot justify two bass guitars so I have decided to hang on to my G&L. [b]It is a 2005 model in Mapleglo[/b] with original Ric case. I love Mapleglo - the grain of the wood makes each bass unique - I hope you can see that. It is strung with Elite nickels. [b]I am looking for £1150[/b]. Alternatively I would only consider part trade/part cash for a 1x15 or 2x10 lightweight combo - probably only Markbass or Gallien-Krueger. The bass has an interesting feature with a block installed behind the treble pickup - this was done by a previous owner. It addresses the known issue of playing finger style whilst retaining the bass pickup cover which is so much part of the Rickenbacker's unique style. The block does not interfere at all playing with a pick. I have tried to capture a blemish on the inlay around the body (last photo), bottom right under the treble volume control. There is also a slight ding on the bottom rear of the headstock which I can feel but it is so small I cannot photograph it even with a macro setting. There is very minor marking on the back of the body which can only be seen when held at a particular angle to the light and is not apparent on the photograph of the back. I have tried to do the bass justice with the attached photographs but they fall a bit short of the real thing, however anyone is welcome to inspect hands on. For the logistics of collection/delivery, I am based between Nottingham and Derby, 2 miles form M1 J25. I do travel regularly on business - particularly down to Croydon, occasionally the North West and South West (as far as Exeter). I do not want to trust this to any couriers and would be happy to travel a reasonable distance for a half way meet up if at least a deposit was paid prior to travelling. If you are interested PM me with your location and I will see what I can do.
  18. I was wondering how the MB200 head plus the 115mbe cabinet would compare to the MB115 combo sound wise? They occasionally come for sale up on Talkbass - I have family in the US and could get the head delivered over here. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of reviews out there.
  19. two come along at the same time alignment mischeif! Is Leicestershire a one off opportunity?
  20. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1113143' date='Feb 2 2011, 10:32 PM']It's utterly ridiculous for a starting bid. Early G&Ls (not that this one is particularly early) don't come up that often over here but something like that would sell in the States for about £650 max.[/quote] Agreed on both points.
  21. [quote name='headofire' post='1117503' date='Feb 6 2011, 11:44 AM']I'd be tempted to say you'd get a better sound from a second hand markbass/ampeg or older GK combo etc.[/quote] I guess I agree with you, but cost and availability (in the right location) is an issue at the moment. I'm not in a great hurry though so I will keep on looking. (Not sure about the Ampeg BA combos) Thoughts on initial feedback are that I won't go in the MB combo direction, unless I have no other option.
  22. [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='1114032' date='Feb 3 2011, 03:55 PM']If you're in the area you're more than welcome to come along and try it out.[/quote] Thanks for the offer - I am down in Croydon on business occasionally .... I may take you up on this.
  23. [quote name='JTUK' post='1114011' date='Feb 3 2011, 03:39 PM']If you could stretch to around £600 the Markbass 102 Sh is far far better..and in a different league, IMO.[/quote] Yes I know ... but £600 is in a different league for me at the moment.
  24. Having parted with my previous set up to downsize and free up a bit of money, I have been looking around for a suitable second hand combo without anything coming up to date. Whilst I have a month or so before I need something, I am looking at contingency plan B and having to buy new when the time comes (much as it pains me to do so but I guess someone has to!). The Gallien-Krueger MB combo - 115 & 210 would seem to meet my requirements in terms of power, size, weight, price point etc.. The size and weight are important as I have an impractical saloon car at the moment (and a dodgy back). I was looking for some feedback on how they perform in small venues. Any thoughts out there? Guidance as usual would be appreciated. Peter
