  1. Past hour
  2. Harry bought my Markbass cabinet. Had a great chat about all things bass. A pleasure to deal with. Thanks @Harry
  3. They are hard dow Andy...chocking off accross the strings when I go above the 14th fret...

  5. I had one; the neck is wider to keep the string spacing. I would've preferred it to have a narrower neck and closer strings.
  6. Molded plugs usually have crimped or welded connections. I think crimping is the most popular way because it is fast, cheap, and reliable.
  7. The usual high quality piece of Hercules kit. I used it for one gig, so it's still as new. All of the supplied components/attachments are present. £20 collected. If you want it posted, let me know and I'll get a price.
  8. Just received a message from the previous owner that it was bought like this new. I think this will be worth the effort to upgrade the electrics.
  9. I love the look of these early P basses but at the end of the day I'm also sure there are sound reasons why Leo Fender tweaked the design and stuck with those changes for the rest of his time at Fender. Ergonomics and quieter pickups being 2 of the obvious ones.
  10. Thanks, it’s a little darker than it’s bigger brother - also Starry Night finish.
  11. 3.4 kg
  12. Yes, actually was thinking about two possibilities Either a third switch, as those having the big enclosure like myself have space for it - depends if the board can accomodate an extra switch. If not possible to add a button to the current board, but the board can accept a change of function of the Bypass to program down, it would be nice for those using their FI with a MFX on the FX loop (or a looper). I myself use a Boss MS-3 and could dedicate a loop for that bit. Of course the MIDI can do Program Changes but sometimes you may want to change the presets on FI alone, without changing on the other device.
  13. If that was just defretted it would have had to have the entire fingerboard replaced, because there's no hiding the original fingerboard dots unless you shave off a few millimeters! Either way, cool score. It looks great!
  14. Cheers for that, just purchased one 👍🏻
  15. I saved this bass from CashConverters a few years ago, lovely instrument
  16. I was not doubting the quality or maximum SPL of the Altos. It’s just that the marketing specs surpass RCF and QSC speakers costing many times more. Mackie were very bad at clawing thousands of watts for tveit Thump series and when I looked inside, they had a 340 watt class D amplifier. Even the mighty RCF do not put limits on their frequency response figures. it is a malaise that goes throughout the industry.
  17. Even it were a B15, I imagine it’d be the same format as the other BassRigs so the cab sim would not be defeatable on the XLR in engaged mode. From the teaser, I’m thinking it might be more like a Marshall recreation for guitarists (and maybe bass).
  18. That looks like you've achieved a glass like finish. Can we see some different lighting angles please? It's impressive.
  19. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!
  20. Today
  21. B - in the process of being restored, PSU caps done, but mucho funny business being displayed ATM.
  22. To be fair, that particular piece of kit has to be a good 40 years old. Model A or B, btw?
  23. I appreciate that @Basvarken you're a Gibson person. How custom are you prepared to go? Is the basses being active possible? Custom circuits? Is putting say a pair of EMG's in something that might be considered for example? It's just a question. They're spectacular instruments by the way.
  24. If I can get away with 19 basses, you can get away with 9
  25. Yep, Big Horizon were fabulous. Great to see you there Trev..... Gotta say that Lee Pomeroy and Donavan Hepburn are a seriously tight rhythm section... wonderful to watch and listen to!
  26. My Stingray acquired a little brother this morning. I think the previous owner has had the fingerboard professionally replaced, and a very good job has been done too. Hardware and electronics are not great but am hoping I can pickup some secondhand upgrades. Update: I am told by the previous owner it was bought as new in fretless. Lovely stuff.
