  1. Past hour
  2. Oh... Wish you were closer! Something else to add to my list of filters on Facebook marketplace and gumtree...
  3. Mike brought my iPad off me. A dull boring sale which is the very best sort No issues at all. Rob
  4. Hi Chris, Seems I don’t automatically get a notification when someone replies! I’ve PM’d you the number. Terry
  5. Yeah, I bet the SP1 will be great. I've been in contact with Bass Direct to get a part-exchange price for my current Bass and they've offered a fair price so I reckon I'll go for it once they have some in stock to try.
  6. Not sure if prices will change in the future on Bassdirect but like you, £1950 is my limit as well. Could've just gone with a used Lakland Skyline tbh. But wanted to try something new and It's my first Dingwall so I don't know what to expect aside from what the forums praise them for. Just waiting for new updates from Bassdirect. Also, I'm on the same boat as you, for any bass I'm keen to get, 4kg below is my limit. More than that, I'd think twice. My heaviest bass was a Lakland Skyline which was 5kgs. Never going back again with such hefty bass! I'm looking forward to the SP1s though! I like a traditional precision body and the touch of Dingwall is realy something!

  8. So are the Bass Direct prices the actuall prices, or just a pre-order estimate? ....I dunno about paying more than £1,950 (for the 5) as even that feels slightly over-priced given that it is about £200 more than the D-Roc 5, and what is there on the SP1 that costs more than the D-Roc to produce given that the D-Roc has 3x pickups, metal flake or colourshift paint? (I'd probably get a D-Roc other than the fact I've seen them weigh up to 10lbs/4.5kg, nobody needs that kind of backache in this day and age!). Compared to other multiscale basses ,the SP1 5 at £1,950 is £250 more than the most expensive new Ibanez EHB (or about £900 more than the basic ones) and £250 more than the Spector NS Dimension. Saying that though, some more real-life weight measures are available now from USA shops for the 4 strings, they tend to be about 8.2lbs (so roughly 3.7kg) so I'm guessing the 5 strings will be slightly under 4kg (which is my self-imposed weight limit). I reckon I'll get one but £1,950 is my spending limit.
  9. Class pedal - I feel like these original ones have a bit of mojo that the new ones don’t quite have
  10. The ultimate do-it-all Swiss Army knife pedal. Bought because we were going in-ear. Turns out we’re not🙄. Immaculate as-new condition and even includes the double-ended cable to use with 9v power bricks. Collect from Chesterfield (5 mins from M1) or add £10 for insured UK postage. Cheers! Sam

  11. Inspired by both new and old, the AfterLife has FOUR different internal analog circuits that provide 2 distortions and 2 fuzzes. Providing plenty of headroom and a ton of gain, these four selections will cover all the distorted ground you’ve got. While the outside boasts a lone Mode selection knob and a Volume control, there’s more under the hood to this one. Internal adjustable trimpots are available for all four modes, with parameters like overall Volume, Bias, Gain and Filter. The enclosure is 100% Solid Aircraft Aluminum Machined. The artwork on the front and back is laser-engraved, and each AfterLife pedal is 100% hand-wired and hand-built. Collect from Chesterfield or add £5 for UK postage. Cheers! Sam
  12. The ultimate pocket-rocket! Fantastic little amp in mint condish. Collect from Chesterfield (5 mins from M1) or add £5 for UK postage. Cheers! Sam

  13. How do those saddles stay in that position? are they bolted to the bottom of the bridge?
  14. Currently working on the move for a Weeds dance routine... https://fb.watch/z-V2O2C-nN/
  15. No problems fitting that new post now
  16. Interesting - just measured its 33.5in scale length!
  17. It's a guitar amp! It's a bass amp! It's a Bluetooth speaker! It's a recording interface! It's a multi effect platform and amp simulator. Absolute class piece of kit for someone who wants a small form factor, multi instrument, practice amp. I dabble in a bit of electric guitar too so this is a great little bit of kit. You can edit the effects and amp Sims from your phone, download other people's patches... It's fantastic. Reason for sale: I've got a Headrush pedal incoming and I now use my Fender Bassman as a guitar amp as well as bass amp so the Positive Grid is getting less use these days. All in very good condition, one small scuff on the corner of the amp Rolex which I've covered with gorilla tape. Other than that it's excellent. I also have the carry bag which are about £40 new. Grab the lot for £100 (amp, PSU, bag). Photos to follow... Collection preferred. Will post via Parcel Force at cost (estimate £12.50ish)
  18. The Akai Headrush covers delay and tape delay effects, but is also a great (if simple) looper. Good condition (small wear spot on left hand side), velcro on bottom. Fully operational. £110 including UK postage (ONO) More info here: https://www.akaipro.com/e2-headrush.html

  19. I'm sure you can easily carry it on the train... Do you know Chris Laurens by any chance? His dad used to run an antique shop in Whitstable.
  20. To my understanding the sound post should be gentle push fit ... enough to keep it in place while string tension goes on certainly - then it is clamped by the belly pushing in under that string tension. This bugger ... and it should be the right one as it was inside the bass ... was not even a push fit ... unless you jammed scrap wood under one end. Someone in the bass's past could have put a wrong sound post in - lord knows. But the post should be firm enough to be able to take all the strings off and it not fall over so long as you keep the bass on its back and don't bounce it around. I will be cutting a new one.
  21. Today
  22. I found this guy on Youtube. He is spot on. Everything he mentions has happened to me and I can totally relate to all of his experiences, even though he lives and gigs in Australia.
  23. Here we have an early CS Jass that I acquired a few years ago It was refinished in a deep pink colour, I took off the neck and could see that it was originally a Daphne blue colour I had my Luthier strip it right back and professionally finished in the original colour that it left the factory Luckily the neck stamp and pocked stamp were intact and you can still see some of the original colour in the pocket Binding has been applied to the outer edges of the neck Gold tuners,knobs, control plate and screws are original to the bass, new gold bridge installed I had the scratchplate imported from the states which is 62-66 period correct The pickups that came with it were not that great and not original to the bass so I have installed Fender pure vintage 66 ones The gold bridge cover came with the bass so I dont know if the original one got replaced at some stage I can just about make out the date as June 1988 or 89 A battery compartment had been added at the back and a toggle switch to the control plate as an active circuit was installed but the original circuit reinstated No case came with it but I will add a Fender moulded case to keep it safe for travel Weight is 4.4 Kg's A black strap and strap locks as pictured are also included any question please fire away

  26. Fender Studio is new and free. I've had a little play and it seems pretty decent. Lots of drum loops to play with. You get some guitar amp sims too, so you can just plug straight into an audio interface, then audio interface into the tablet without needing other hardware. https://uk.fender.com/pages/fender-studio
