    A little bit out the way, but Rich Stubbs over in Nantwich is superb!

    I got dragged kicking and screaming to a C&D gig at Salisbury city hall at the age of about 35... I loved it by the end, great musicians and entertainers. Battered old case full of CDs for a merch stand 😄

    I'm a massive fan of Aguilar pickups, especially the '70s JJs that were OE on my Vox Starstream Artist.

    I don't think the stock preamp helps TBH. Ibby obviously assumed that they would sell more to the metal crowd who want a load of top end and when that is combined with hi-fi pickups like the Nords it's an excessively bright combination. You might have better luck removing the preamp completely and sticking in a passive loom. As they are still humbuckers I'd be tempted to try 500K pots rather than 250K but I'd put a 0.1uF capacitor in there so it can roll off loads of the top and and go super deep. All my passive basses have 0.1uF caps in them now for that reason. As long as you use a good tone pot that doesn't get in the way when it's at 100% there will still be plenty of brightness but with a little roll down it should work very nicely to tame that top end. It would be quite a bit cheaper than swapping pickups or the preamp too. I always follow the Duck Dunn school of tone settings. Back off the bass tone by about a third and then set the amp. Then I've got somewhere to go in both directions without having to tweak the amp mid-gig.

    I am all for beautiful American big name pickups - I have a set of Fralins which are sublime. But I suspect that any of the myriad UK winders could do something which would be easily as good for significantly less. It is just wire and magnets. https://www.catswhiskerpickups.co.uk/ pickups always deliver for me. He listens to what I need and there it is.

    In over 15 years with Laklands I never touched the trussrods.

    One must consider two factors - the act itself, and any premeditation. In this case, there was no premeditation, so a prima facie case fails if that was the sole criterion. However, there is the act itself, and in this case, it was perpetrated not by the (self) accused but by his girlfriend (whether with or without the knowledge of his wife), without any direct solicitation by the accused and apparently without his intention being to cause the purchase. I think a caution would be appropriate, and congratulations on the choice of girlfriend.

    Was wondering why the hell anyone would need two of these things at the same time

    I’d like one of these, but £17 postage on top of the £15 purchase price is putting my off!

    It’s still a purchase, whether or not nostalgia is involved. off with his head …

    She might be a bit cross about his girlfriend buying him a bass.

    I had one of the original RM 500s for a couple of years and thought it was great. The eq frequencies are well thought out. I didn't rate the compressor much, but otherwise it's a very good amp. If you're concerned about repairs, choosing an Ashdown amp is a good move.

    Barber Linden EQ Pedal. Baxandall style EQ pedal, similar in style to a B15/Fender amp EQ but with some interesting options on the toggle switches. Remarkably similar to the Noble DI in the way that these interact and a lovely parter to the JF Luce DI as I've found out this week. Price includes UK Postage.

    Given the nature of the Bird... I'd prefer collection/Delivery but well packaged and very insured postage is possible. This one has been my gateway drug, and before i knew it i've bought myself an old single pickup model. It's in mint condition, and comes with a great padded gigbag. Pretty light at 3.8 kg, and personally I haven't had an issue with neck dive as these sometimes suffer from. These are proper neck-through models like the originals. As always please hit me up with questions/photo requests! .

    I don't really know how to describe this one... can be a preamp, DI, Fuzz, Drive or EQ with a particular flavour of it's own. Great condition, Price includes UK Delivery.

    La Bella 760PN-MUS Stang – Pure Nickel Round Wound A set of never gigged pure nickel Mustang rounds. These are designed for string-through mustangs. Tried on my '69 for a few days, but honestly just don't see that bass being anything other than a flats bass so off they came! Price includes UK postage.
