  1. Past hour
  2. We saw Nik Kershaw live in December 2024 for the 40th anniversary tour of his two first albums and it really was an excellent concert.
  3. I have an HB Shorty with a Tonerider pickup and find it absolutely delightful. You know the score with these so I say copy and paste!
  4. Big Low End

    NPGD

    Previously never been entirely convinced by the look of a tortoiseshell pickguard on a black bass but decided to give it a go. I like it a lot (and yes I wish the fingerboard was a bit darker).
  5. Just a small point. This is one of the limited edition series, not the the 40th anniversary series that had a special logo and LEDs. More faithful to the originals, almost as rare as the 40th and personally I'd prefer this beauty to one with a 40th anniversary logo on it. If this was in the UK I'd be on the way with cash in hand, after a bit of negotiation 😉. GLWTS, and I hope you feel better soon.
  6. That's more likely to be a 'photoflame', which is a lot easier to predict.
  7. Can't remember where I heard those numbers but clearly they were utter tosh! Glad I caveated myself with 'could be wrong!' 😆
  8. Bump! And here is our very own Dood's in depth video review!
  9. Sure. Stay in touch. Pop me a PM and I’ll give you my number. It’s a small thing but has a heft. I’m happy to throw in a cheap old wheelie trolley but I’m not sure it’s a good idea to roll a valve amp along the pavement!
  10. I always introduce it as a song written by Nik Kershaw we also do Wouldn't it be good both great songs
  11. I know New Cross. Used to live Greenwich and took the train from.New Cross Gate to Croydon . I'm looking when I'm next down in London and wondering if I can make it work as I'm on the train.
  12. I can get a box from the local music shop by all means, yes. But you take the risk. (I've posted instruments before and suffered a huge loss, so personally I'm very wary.)
  13. SE14 New Cross but I travel into central WC1e every week so happy to take it in if you want to meet up.
  14. If you're happy to go used you could look at an Ibanez Talman, they often come up within your budget.
  15. Last call before it goes into the box of things.
  16. Well it looks like I will be able to come as the tummy tuck (AKA hernia repair) has worked well. At a recent Bash, I was given a load of faulty cables. I am in the middle of going through them and repairing them. If Mike lets me, I will take a small table and display them to sell. They will not have the lifetime guarantee I give with my bespoke cables, but they will be good spare cables and I will guarantee them for a year. There are instrument (2-6m) and speaker cables (0.5-1.2m). Where the current connectors are usable, I will reuse them, where they are not, I will replace them. Most of the instrument cables will have a straight plug on one end and a right-angled plug on the other. The speaker cables will have SpeakOns on both ends, either Neutrik, or Rean. Prices from £5-10. Of course, I will still be taking orders for any special cable requirements you have in the meantime.
  17. Andertons do an EastCoast Mustang/Precision short scale for about that money. And you're under a tenner away from a Squier Bronco. https://www.andertons.co.uk/eastcoast-msb-short-scale-bass-in-seafoam-green-rosewood-fingerboard-perloid-guard/ https://www.andertons.co.uk/squier-sonic-bronco-bass-guitar-tahitian-coral/ I don't think you're going to get much better for such a small amount of money.
  18. In my other band which is not not exclusively 80's, we do Nik's 'Wouldn't It Be Good'. I don't know what it is about that song, but I just love playing it and it always gets people singing along.
  19. A total of 1246 Anniversary basses made. With regards to the fretboards, 713 were Maple, 477 Rosewood, 21 lined fretless and 35 unlined fretless.
  20. Could be a BG250 or something like that? It's a toneprint loaded one, one of the cheaper ones they brought out in the last few years. Agree with you on the abuse, I had a low opinion of Ashdowns from using abused MAGs in rehearsal rooms, but for years now I've been Ashdowns all the way.
  21. Sheer Heart Attack - Queen
  22. Anyone know who does good repaint/finishes around London or SW area? Going for something like this on my white bass:
  23. Found it, thanks! When I googled the numbers with ‘Fender’ I didn’t get much but plenty of info on TB i can’t fully see the number on the neck p/up as it’s obscured by the foam but I can see the etched number so it turns out they are ……. The 33746/33753 set used in early AmStands ('95-2000), American Series ('01-'07) Thanks Tony
