Incredible depth and punch for such tiny speakers! [attachment=10244:Rhino.jpg] (photo - yorks5stringer)
Mikey D Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Cheers Bassman...you think Rhino will want another one for a stereo setup!? Price reduction bump.
yorks5stringer Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Seeing as I got a photo credit from Mr Bassman, please have a bump!
Mikey D Posted July 5, 2008 Author Posted July 5, 2008 Willing to split. £550 For Suitcase. £230 for 4b extension cab
Mikey D Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 6 monthly bump!! As it says above, for sale again as it has only been gigged once since I put the advert up and due to a move has been in storage so it exactly the same condition as when I listed it. Mint. Selling the rig to fund my 8 string purchase which due to the exchange rate changes since i originally wanted it that there is a lot more to pay! £700. PM me or call 07914814348. I can only answer calls after 6pm, but if you text I can call back later.
Matte_black Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 If it doesn't sell fast I think I could go for it in a while... I've just got a new cab and was in the process to get another power amp... timing isn't awesome! Straight sale only?
Mikey D Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 Unless you have an 8 string fanned fret hybrid guitar/bass ala Charlie Hunter laying about, it is a straight sale only.
Matte_black Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 This one has been sold... but I guess it was wide enough!
Mikey D Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 Sorry, I'm talking something like this. Just to clarify, I am looking to sell both the combo and cab together initially, but it there is no interest in both together, I will split, but want to see if people are interested in both first. Cheers.
Matte_black Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I've never built an instrument like that but it can be done for sure Anyway, if you already had a builder in mind, I'm not trying to steal a customer to other builders I've found locally the same combo for sale so I don't know.
Happy Jack Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 [quote name='Mikey D' post='383171' date='Jan 17 2009, 12:48 PM']Sorry, I'm talking something like this. [/quote] That's a bit of a beast! I get the bass/guitar combo idea, but why the fanned frets? Won't that make the guitar part much harder to play? I should point out that I love fanned frets (I have a Dingwall Z2) but I don't really understand them on a guitar.
Mikey D Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 To answer the question about the fanned frets, to quote ralph novax: Why Fanned-Fret®? The "fanning" of the frets results from manipulating the scale length of the bass side of the neck relative to the treble side: the fret spacing is wider for the long scale and closer for the short scale. Looking inside a grand piano, or at a harp, we see that the string lengths vary with the pitches of the strings. But fretted instruments are traditionally constructed to a single scale length, negating the benefits of scale length relative to pitch. Since there are relatively few strings on most stringed instruments, compromises are made and string gauges are manipulated for workable results. Players, accustomed to the compromises of single scale-length construction, are often pleasantly surprised by the richness and clarity of Fanned-Fret® instruments. When the fanned-fret concept is applied to the six-string guitar, the resulting instrument has a "focused" sound - clear, articulate and balanced. Some players say "more in tune" or "more accurate." One of the real advantages of the Fanned-Fret® concept lies in its application to instruments like the seven-string guitar, eight-string guitar, five-string bass, six-string bass, baritone guitar, and mandolin. The range of tunings and number of strings force compromises that make these instruments poor performers or even impractical when constructed with the traditional single scale-length. The fanned-fret concept addresses those problems and makes these intruments playable and practical. Why is Scale Length Important? Scale Length influences both the tonal quality of the notes produced and the tension of the string at a paticular pitch. The tonal effects of scale length are crucial to the final tone of the instrument. Woods, hardware, and electronics act as "filters" to string tone. They do not produce tone of their own and only modify input from the vibrating string. If paticular harmonics are very strong, or altogether absent, those characteristics will be present in the final tone of the instrument.
Tomash Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Very interested in this stack. Out of interest, have you ever plugged a double bass into it?
steviedee Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) This is really cool man I'd love one of these, I have the briefcase and its great for the upright... I'd have to have serious will power not to buy this if you were local! Edited January 22, 2009 by steviedee
Mikey D Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 It's great with double bass. I have used it with a double on many occasions. Also a guy from my college used it at a gig. Malcolm Creese (great great bassist) was supposedly there and was very impressed with the sound supposedly. Let me know via pm or call me if you are interested. You are welcome to come and try it. Got some other interest this week.
Kubickiboy Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hi. I'm interested in both of these. What would you sell them for if I collected? Cheers
Mikey D Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 May consider trades for a fretted 5 string (or any of the non-gwb35 gary willis basses) with cash either way (not so much going from me to you though ) depending on the value.
leftybassman392 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Did I hear you say £700 for both? If so I'll take it. New to this forum so unsure how to proceed, but have traded on eBay for years (as Guitarplayer392). I live in Northampton area so should be no prob to collect. Free all next week. Andy K.
