  2. Fender acoustic bass with gig bag. Its seen very light use and doesn't seem to have any marks on it. In built preamp with tuner. Truss rod in working order. Pick up in Ashby-de-la-Zouch or Hull area.

  3. You posted on Monday and purchased today?! That's no paralysis, I create spreadsheets!

  5. A very pleasant and straightforward marketplace transaction with Stu ☺️ - enjoy the pedal mate.
  6. Thank you all for your replies, it really is appreciated Pleased to say I went with a Lakland Skyline 44.02 I felt this is the one to start my journey with and keep me motivated to overcome the inevitable setbacks
  7. Seeing as this thread seems to have attracted the attention of many a Stingray lover, this might be a good opportunity to shamelessly attempt to locate my pre-EB (but heavily modified) Stingray that I sold for £450 in 1985, when I couldn't afford to pay the rent one month. If anyone knows where it might be, please let me know - and I know I'd have to pay substantially more than that to get it back! 🙄
  8. I quite fancy one of these. As always, my timing is off so I can’t take advantage of this offer. Great form factor and plenty of amps will sit nicely on top (including my Ampeg PF350). GLWTS!
  9. The truss rod (actually the wood it works on) on my G&L L1505 failed resulting in fretboard lift and breakage. Jon Shuker repaired it, the new board is many times better than the original. My takeaway is that even if you fail to get the fretboard off intact all is not lost. A new board can be fitted. You have nothing to lose at this stage.
  10. Bought a set of flats off David in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  11. I’ll check my diary and get back to you Rob. Peter
  12. I’m not normally a fan of green basses, but that really looks great, very nice
  13. Bought a OBP-3 Preamp from Bob. Smooth transaction. Top bloke to deal with!

    De-Fret??

    It'd be a great bass if you did it. 😬 thing about the block inlays; this has of course been discussed 😁
  15. I thought i should contribute as I have an M Bass by Marleaux. But can't say if they are better than a standard bass of the same construction material(wood type). Only the Luthiers would be able to say that there is a benefit. Do they all agree, that make one in their range or are they just following the trend to corner a piece of that market. ?? This is a great bass, now with an East preamp as i didn't find the stock preamp had enough top end clarity. we are never satisfied are we 🤭 I like the look of these as the upper horn folds back to compliment and meet the lower horn, like a well sucked lozenge. So prefer this over the mark II when they brought the top horn down another two frets up. Not as pretty as this earlier one. Probably had this about 17 - 18 years now, Its a keeper.
  16. And as if by magic... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/522279-precision-gold-anodised-pickguard-with-gold-screws/
  17. Love this! Sadly no longer for me either but what fantastic functionality matey glwts
  18. Hi, this bass is a beauty. I am looking for a nice vintage sounding PBass. The weight is important as well, do you have the exact weight in kg ? Thank you. Tot
  19. Today
  20. Love me a single cut bass! Binky is the ultimate single cut (in my humble opinion of course!) Aesthetically I get that they're marmite, but correctly done they look awesome. Sound wise, honestly, I really couldn't claim to hear much of a difference at all. Binky has a pair of custom spec Nordstrands paired with a bespoke to Binky 'BeePre' preamp, those two contribute 99% of the tone post-amp, maybe 1% at best could be attributed to the fact Binky is single cut.

  22. From memory, I don't think he ever had a signature model. I think Jackson just made a one off custom for him. Looks like schecter have done the same thing.
  23. BB-1X arrived and will try it loud tomorrow night. At home it sounds like a mild drive and warm sounding pedal Seems to be more like what I’m after but need to pop through an amp at gig volume. The tone controls are handy too and find drive set 10-11am is a nice grit kind of sound
  24. Sorry - only just saw this! I’ve dropped you a message on WhatsApp 👍
