  1. Past hour
  2. Thanks for your input guys. I'll go and have a look at it. I've talked my D B player mate into coming along so will see how it works out.
  3. 400 miles?....well it's got wheels and it's all downhill when you look at the map.
  4. Congrats! They are amazing and versatile heads--and generally much underappreciated. I'm an Ampeg tube head guy, but love my ABM (same as yours). One pre tube doesn't replace a head full of tubes, but Ashdown has the best implementation of one tube pre I've ever played. I wish I had bought one years ago.
  5. Well I may be in Edinburgh at the weekend and travelling to Peterborough on Thursday if that helps? Don’t mind bringing it that far buddy
  6. Well there’s a Fodera in the classifieds for £5! Same scenario maybe? 😂
  7. Powers up (with generic 9V) but has very quiet, slightly distorted sound. I suspect it’s the volume pot gone but could be more… Otherwise in physically good condition. Could be a good project for the DIY enthusiasts out there.. Price is posted to the uk.
  8. All unused, top quality sets. Double ball ends but possibly can be used for shorter basses. 37” length. (I could use the outer strings on my standard scale bass but would rather sell as sets). * Newtone 5 string sets x 6: Diamond Bass, hex core, stainless steel, 46-130, length 37” (ball end to ball end) with tapered B. £25 each (discount for multi purchase) ( I also have a Hot Wires 5 string flat wound set…pm me)
  9. Shame that this is still here…. Took it out on a gig on Sat and it was as expected…..special!👌🏽 Waiting on a luck owner🤞🏽
  10. Have no idea.🤷🏽‍♂️ Not really prepared to mess with anything. A quick clean sale is preferable….
  11. Maybe usable with other similar guitars? Unused so in mint condition. Postage possible…

  13. It's all very subjective. I wanted to get the Electra closer to German, so I did preamp, pickups and tuners. Aguilar are small pole and Alnico so psychologically more vintage. And I had the bits here already. Tone is good across the Sandbergs without any tweaking though! VM4 and Central to go, then I have the full set!
  14. Lionel is active with passive switching, I traded a Stingray for it, it's not the Bass Direct one!
  15. @horrorshowbass, you could also try a set of Dogal Hellborg Perfect Pitch JH171 (6S) round wound nickel strings as they are made with only one wire wrapped around the core, so (almost) completely eliminating any intonation issue especially on the lower strings. Their tension is very low, think Thomastik, but your bass will thank you as well as your ears. BUT, they are very very very expensive. https://www.dogalstrings.it/en/perfect-pitch Worth reading their explanation. 😉
  16. Always wanted to try one of these... 400 miles away though 🥲

  18. Just as @Belka said raising the thickness of the string is absolutely not the solution, except if you only play an opened B and nothing else. The thicker the string, the worse the intonation is, so with a B string, never go thicker than 0.135 gauge. The clarity and definition (and more important intonation) can be improved by the string construction, not by its thickness, which will do the opposite. Guess why piano strings are exposed core for most of them, especially in low end part...
  19. A week too late, bugger! Epic cabs these 👌
  20. Thanks. It felt like something that happens in a hospital drama, not real life.! I was just meaning that it goes both ways after someone dies and it isn't always just old people with perhaps more complicated estates.
  21. That is something I had hoped to make clear in the original post, and I believe why the classification of Bronchiectasis came into being. As for how the lung damage happened, my "Asthma" started at 1 year of age. At exactly the same time as the Great Smog (Dec 1952). The Great Smog lasted 6 days and the air contained sulphur dioxide plus moisture. Mix those two and you have dilute Sulphuric Acid to breathe.
  22. Reduced to £150 - bargain or what!
  23. Today
  24. I bought this new in 2019 direct from Barefaced with a custom white baffle. It is the clearest and loudest sounding cab I've ever owned but it's really a bit too much for the gigs I'm doing. It's happy with a wide range of amps, I've used TC Electronics, Mark Bass, Ashdown and even a Trace Elf! All sounded super. Prefer collection for this one or meet up in central belt. Includes the original barefaced padded cover. If you are in the area, pop round for a coffee and a tryout. Thanks for looking.
