Thats crazy - I thought that was the purpose of Reverb not facebook marketplace!

I bought Clarky’ TRex power supply, excellent item, well packaged, great comms and prompt delivery, what more do you want. Superb.

I have been extremely lucky to have commissioned a Zemaitis bass, back in 1989 when Tony was still producing guitars from his quirky garage workshop. My 'Z' is also a fretless which makes it rarer than a rare thing. One (fretted) made the cover of Geddy Lee's 'Big Book of Bass' There are two phases of Zemaitis, the original made by the man himself, and the Greco manufactured current line. Never seen either for sale on here. Wouldnt mind a Greco era one but ony if is it wasnt LP style. Dont like LP syle basses.

Paul bought a T Rex power supply unit off me and everything was hunky dory! Many thanks!!!!

Best just swerve these tryers. There's a number of regulars on here that are clearly dealers or at least semi-pro buyers and resellers that always have basses sat for years on end. We all know who they are! There's 3 options really: ● Price high and wait for years to sell if at all. ● Price about right and prepare to sit on it while until person that wants what you have comes along. ● Price lower and sell sooner. The market often dictates price, so crazy prices just won't shift!

You can usually pick up a TC BAM200, BQ250 or Warwick Gnome for sub £100 (and those TC heads are currently £120 on sale new) so there's just not much of a reason to spend a comparable amount on what is probably a considerably worse amp.

Always seems to go down when we throw it in at the end of our set

There’s a double bass bow that was sold on here for £50. It’s been overhauled by a specialist (max £300) and is now being offered for sale at £850 at various places (but not here). It’s not selling.

Andertons has them as being in stock on July 7th........not that I'm longingly looking at the Bristol Fog finish and thinking about selling a bass to make room or anything..........

I recently bought a Boss Chorus pedal off Paddy, excellent communication, well packaged and exactly as described, excellent Basschatter, highly recommended.

Indeed.. Hobgoblin Birmingham were very patient and helpful to me in the past.

Capiche. Thank you. It would appear that a change of amp is required; I can't recommend one, though (I'm a drummer...).

That's a shame - a lost sale for them, and off-putting for you. About 20 years ago, I visited Hobgoblin in Rathbone Place, with my 7 year old daughter. They let her try every instrument in the shop (even a Low Whistle - the holes were so big that her fingers went inside them!). She eventually settled on the violins, and told me that her two favourites "played good and sounded nice". They happened to be the two most expensive in the shop, and the chap behind the counter was so impressed with her technique and her ear, that he offered to let her borrow his own personal violin while we were looking for a ¼-size instrument for her. Hobgoblin - YMMV.

Dont think Ive ever turned the master down once setup after sound chk. Seems an odd problem to have.

I’m playing with blues trio ‘The Alligators’ at this event on Friday evening.

Morning I pulled a John East preamp out of a bass recently (just wanted to try something different). I just want to make certain it's all working before reinstalling elsewhere. Assuming the green wire below goes the ground, anyone know where does the red one goes? I have contacted John about this, no answer yet. Thanks

I've just bought an ABM 500W Evo iii - wow, it sounds amazing, why have I waited all these years. I see I now have to wade through 46 pages of this thread to get up to speed....

Indeed... we went by train last time as parking tipped the cost balance. One time we got an air bnb that had a resident permit. Another time we arranged for a sheaf of 'scratch off the date' parking permits to be in our room whrn we arrived.
