  1. Past hour
  2. I understand your curiosity ! but I'd rather not do it myself since the ramp seems to be securely attached to the body. I mean I don't think there's any problem removing it but perhaps during a routine visit to a luthier ? Thanks for your comment!
  3. regardless of the Harry connection, I like the look of it, but it's way too pricey for a Mex IMO Japanese perhaps, but still no spb4 or BA sadly
  4. 2 minutes from me, you'll have to call in for a cup of something some time Actually if you want to drop in I could lend you a Micromon I don't use it very oten, just to tempt reluctant singers to try in-ears
  5. Surplus to requirements £30 uk posted
  6. I can’t believe nobody hasn’t snapped this up at this price! It’s absurd. I’ve got one for sale myself and I’d never let it go at this price. If I had the spare cash I’d buy this! Either, folk haven’t used one of these or, everyone is being more than coy with their money. You will never really need another amp or effects, this covers it all. Absolutely baffling.

  8. This is an analog amp simulator. Goes really well with external pedals. A must have tool for music production or if you play live and want to go amp-less but still have a warm analog tone. This is a boutique pedal, hand made in Chile Can post at buyers expense. Would trade for a bass amp head (class d) thanks for reading https://youtu.be/rO9rSRmehNM?si=pSS8OrZP9D2uGrY3&t=547

  11. Hi Folks, Like my amps and cabs, I'm sure my basses have been multiplying while my back was turned. I now have too many and I have to thin the herd. Up for sale is my Nordstrand Acinonyx V1 4 string in Lake Placid Blue. This one is not from the original batch and consequently hasn't suffered from some of the issues those had, like the dropping bridge saddles and pickups. The full spec of the bass can be found here on the Nordstrand website: https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/acinonyx-short-scale-bass?srsltid=AfmBOoqXRCMzsQ38QEkKuMECUYDt-DGX53aeBYqGr9AYmHWpuGsqi1lr. The headlines are that it is an extremely light bass, with a 30.7" scale and 1.4" nut. Bridge spacing is 17mm. Combined with the slim neck, it is extremely easy to play and great ergonomically. A great bass for those 3 hour gigs.The Nordstrand made pickups are very powerful and it has a wide range of tonal options. It has quality Hipshot hardware as well. I got a bit fed up of the original push button switches for pickup selection and tone. I liked the concept of being able to get predictable tones at the press of a switch but I didn't much like the execution. I found it particularly difficult to select the series "all-in" option. Consequently I had a new scratch plate made (while pearl) that allowed me to wire it up with a 4 position telecaster switch and a baritone switch for tone. The switch positions are 1. fully forward - both pickups in series ("all-in"); 2. front pickup solo; 3. both pickups in parallel; 4. bridge pickup solo. The varitone switch has 6 positions ranging from off to 0.1 uf. The volume pot is now a full sized CTS 250 k audio taper and the jack socket is a Pure Tone. While I was doing this I took the opportunity to improve the shielding with copper tape in the cavity and back of the scratch plate. It is now a lot quieter than standard. I find this switching and tone arrangement much easier to use than the original. However, these modifications can be easily reversed. I have the original electronics and scratch plate, so the bass can be returned to standard very easily but with improved shielding. If you would prefer, I can return the bass to original spec before posting/collection. You can have the new parts (which cost around £130) as well, or if you opt to keep my mods, I will provide the original parts in the price. I have included a picture of the bass in original spec. The bass is in very good condition. I can't find any marks, dings or scratches on the body and there is only one small ding on the neck, which I have pictured. There are a few scrtaches on the original scrtachplate from using a pick but again, nothing significant. It is fitted with new D'Addario light gauge nickel rounds (45-100). I tried flats on it and they were fun but I prefer the extra bite from the rounds. Nordstrand have stopped making these basses in the Far East, so new ones are going to be US made to order and expensive. You are very welcome to come and try it through various amps at my place in Fakenham (refreshments provided). That may not work for many and I have the original box, so can post at buyer's expense. I can meet up within about 50 miles of Fakenham. I am thinning the herd, so not looking for a trade at the moment.
  12. Yet another painless transaction with the doyen of Basschat buyers! 👏
  13. Agreed - I have loads of packages in plastic wrapping every day! Did you pay them though or did they go away?
  14. Not often you see a Stenback up for sale - wonderful basses and rare as hens teeth! That is a great price too.
  15. I'd imagine Mr Harris would have had to have signed it off. What was he thinking?
  16. I doggedly kept on at them that my packaging was appropriate and that I would challenge Interparcel via the Ombudsman as my contract was with them and not the courier (ergo they couldn't lay off the blame). I'd certainly be challenging that plastic bags are not appropriate; it needs to be waterproof and there are plenty of major companies use plastic bags.
  17. Thanks all. At £14 inc the power supply it would be rude not to. I was down The Drift last week Phil. It is nice down there.
  18. I've just had the same from Interparcel last week - used them to send an effects pedal and they are saying that because it was a cardboard box wrapped in plastic bag and packing tape it was not the right packing material. I have challenged their charge and they are saying that the charge is from the courier and not them: "Plastic wrapping can occasionally cause issues with the automated sorting equipment at the depot, usually due to reflecting lights and lasers and thus rendering a parcel non-compatible for automated processing. When situations like this arise, the parcel is instead manually handled throughout the network and the carrier do unfortunately issue a charge for this." Did you pay their charge in the end or ignore it?
  19. Thank you! The Fifteen hasn’t had a negative impact on the Octabvre to my ears. It tames the low low end, but it still sounds like and octave, and you can turn it off, or only have it on when the pedal is active.
  20. I have two Monzas but often use just one, they are extremely capable units and every time I’m lugging out after a rehearsal/gig I’m pretty sure I made the right choice over the Monaco…. though it doesn’t stop me wanting one! I have versatility now when needed. I doubt very much you’ll be disappointed . Go for it! X
  21. Today
  22. Oooo liking the headstock too, sort of reminds me of that friendly old horse we’ve all met whilst out walking int‘countryside who plods over to ya and sticks his head over the fence and tries to nibble ya hand off ….. or am i just losing it? 🤣x
  23. Politically speaking (Stop it!) you are correct because that is how the city council views it. If you stated that as fact to an old Spondonian however you'd best be wearing a cricket box as a slap in the knackers could cause discomfort. Spondon and its population are very much a village. Road access is limited from the city. As a consequence we still live in a village both geographically and notionally. I have only lived in the village for fifteen years so don't take my word for it as a blow-in. Instead, gird your loins and ask one of the indigenous inhabitants... from a safe distance.
  24. Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.
