  1. Past hour
  2. FYI I'm giving a 5 string set of Dragonskins away. If anyone wants a spare set then sort me out with an SAE and they're yours. Used a bit, but I don't get on with SS and fully coated. Cut for an AB
  3. Shame the OP didn't post any pics. However based on the description & name I wonder if it's related to the 'Bass Workshop' instrument which is the B-list star of this thread: If you can't be arsed looking - it's a £99 Korean-made through-neck Satellite cheapo from 1980, which someone's painted black & stuck a Letraset 'Custom Build' logo on the end.
  4. Other than not stating what type of music the band will play, it sounds OK to me as these adverts go. If you wanted to perform original music this might be a good opp.
  5. Mini board for some upcoming shows, there’s not really a need for any effects or extra drives so decided to slim it right down from the RB Tres 3.0 to a 2.1. I do miss having the patch bay but it’s far less complicated should I hit any issues. Still can’t help eying up the new QC Mini 👀👀👀
  6. Yeah, I find that to be an issue on almost all pedals that have presets and knobs. There really needs to be more thought into bridging the gap between 'what you see is what you get' pedals and beign able to switch presets and know what's going on with the knob positions. Something like knobs without markers on them that turn infinitely and have leds around them to indicate the setting position. (apologies for saying 'knob' many times on a family friendly forum!)
  7. The ad was certainly effective in weeding out this old fart! As to ‘who are we to mock’, it’s the Internet in 2026 and everyone’s a critic.
  8. Ashdown's take on the Trace Elliot Elf? The Ashdown UK-PBM-200.
  9. How's it going?
  10. that would seem logical... they make those legacy strings too.
  11. EBCFs are really nice strings with a pretty full voice, and they last a long time. You might also try a set of tapewounds. LaBella makes white tapes that are said to be nice and bright. I had D'Addario black tapes, which are a roundwound steel wrapped with a nylon tape, and they're a nice woody sound with some smack to them. But due a lively flat, my finger finds its way back to pointing at the Cobalt Flats...
  12. I have a (6 position) Freeway switch on one of my Rics.
  13. At least people won’t (or shouldn’t, but who knows…) moan that it’s octave tracking is rubbish and that the synth patches aren’t any good 🤣
  14. What's the neck like, Matt? Is it P-like?
  15. I’m selling this incredible little cab which I bought on here to use with my DB. I find my AI upshot sufficiently loud for most things I do so moving the SM on. It’s in excellent condition and has not been gigged (by me). Weighs just 10.5kg, but delivers extraordinary high fidelity volume. Some details here: Single 12XN extended-range high-accuracy driver Low distortion tweeter LR4 crossover with enhanced thermal stability Self-resetting HF driver and crossover protection system Fully variable HF control Monocoque Spaceframe enclosure Vertical slot port and thermal convector Consistent polar response when vertical or horizontal Side strap handle Base and side rubber feet Nickel-plated 2/3-sided steel corners Dual parallel combi speakon + 1/4” sockets Durable textured acrylic finish Powder-coated black steel grill I’m in Somerset (TA11 7DT) but can pack and courier at buyer’s expense. No trades thanks.
  16. I have to admit, Ashdown are doing a great job right now. Bringing more over to the UK, even if it means some prices jump up a little, is a rare and great thing to see. I would definitely consider one of their modern lightweight UK amps now.
  17. Thanks. It looks like a step up from the small bass combos I’ve been looking at. Will get one ordered before the next rehearsal.
  18. I have obscured the full serial number as I have been advised this can impede scammers from claiming ownership somehow. The details shown above attest to the bass being manufactured by Fender USA in 2018. I have also used the official Fender Serial Number Look Up service, which returns the below details:- I hope this is OK. If there's something else you need the full serial number for, can I ask that you send me a personal message, thank you.
  19. It doesn’t seem like they have improved on the biggest functional headache of the BDDI Programable- something I’m currently wrestling with- is the inability to understand the setting on any channel allowing you to either adjust it or add more/less of anything on the next channel. Yeah, I know the LED’s blink when your back in position, and the “lazy knob” feature slowly takes the parameter back rather than sudden jump in volume, for example. I think all Chanel’s sharing the same controls without any visual representation of what’s going on is just a poor design in this day and age
  20. Welcome back Gizmo! It's been a while ey! Do you still have the basses you made? Will you be planning to get the luthiery tools out again? All the best! Dooooood
  21. 1981 4001 BT with personal modifications. Its taken a while to get all the mods I wanted done and I still want to install a parallel/series switch (probably on a push/pull pot). But that can wait a while I think, I just want to enjoy it for now.
  22. Cool. Good to see companies listening and giving their fans what they want.
  23. 2006 Squire Vintage Modified Precision Bass in Olympic White for sale - with some modifications to dress it up like a 70s P bass. I will include the Thomann gig bag with the sale. I have always wanted a 70s P, but as a mainly 5 string player I knew I wouldn't use it that much so I didn't want to commit too much cash to one. So, I found a Squire VM P bass in Olympic white which had a few dings online and then proceeded to create my own. Personally I think it looks great and it saddens me to sell it but I could do with a little cash injection right now. So, the main change is the headstock. The squire details were removed and sanded flat, some discolouration added to age the wood, a 70s decal added and then a vintage amber Nitro lacquer from NorthWest Guitars. I have flatted it back and flatted off the sheen from the back of the neck so it's nice and smooth. Aged string retainer and neck F plate was added (I always intended to add aged tuners and bridge but never got round to it.) Body - it had a few dinks here and there which have been added to (nothing major to be honest) and the bass still has the Seymore Duncan designed pickups, original bridge and tuners. The olympic white has aged and yellowed really nicely and the rosewood board is nice and dark. I know this won't be to everyone's taste but if you fancy a 70s P and don't fancy the price of one, this could be for you! I have included a picture of the original squire serial number for information. Not sure what else to add about the bass. It plays great and sounds just like a P should. The previous owner changed the wiring to cloth wiring and added an orange drop cap to the tone control. Any trial is welcome and I have packaging to post. Will look at quotes and happy to look at various options.

  24. Eh, I just fitted a Freeway 10 way switch to mine. I found this to be a very satisfactory (and very clever) way of opening up many more possiblities on the Triad.
