So experiments in how easy this finish is to remove. I had 500ml of 99% acetone as a tester amount ... and just over 250ml stripped this C bout. It was fairly unpleasant ... I used Mirlon grey 'Scotchbrite' style pads to agitate the finish as I soaked it in thinners ... and it came off in lumps like toxic toffee. Be aware if you do this acetone is HUGELY inflammable so don't smoke ... work with gloves, a mask, ideally overalls, and most important OUTSIDE. I did this test on a hugely hot day - so the bloody lacquer was solidifying as the acetone evaporated in seconds! I stuck to the bass like a huge fly trap several times! Stage one got me down to what I would imagine is a tinted sanding sealer. Like 'Fullerplast' on Fenders Stage two ... another light wash with acetone and a light sanding once dry and the wood has arrived! Stage 3 .... 5ltrs of acetone on order!

These top class amps are part of an equipment sell off due to finally retiring from gigging. They have a valve preamp stage with a solid state output and are super clear and loud. One of these has been my regular amp to use with a Vanderkley 212MNT cab, also now for sale on this site. I was offered the second LH500 in a private sale and then had two, with one being a back up, but never needed it. I rotated which one I used as a main amp fairly regularly, the other one would come to gigs but remained in my car. (Except one time when a guitarists amp died halfway through a gig) Controls are simple and straightforward, if you are crafting your sound on your pedalboard then just setting the EQ’s around 50% will give you excellent results with no drama. There is a line out for a mixing desk if you need this. Obviously these can be for sale separately, but I’m not asking a lot of money for them as they have clearly been gigged regularly, so maybe you can justify treating yourself to the pair. I’m asking just £70 each for the amps, or £130 for the pair Here’s some Hartke details: The LH500 has a classic 12AX7 Class-A tube front-end design with a solid-state output. Developed with the HyDrive cabs in mind, the LH500 also has more than enough power and tone control to drive any cabinet on the market. This amp provides you with Treble and Bass Shelving to give its warm tone a little edge. Or use the brite and limiter switches to further sculpt your sound. Its intuitive front panel also makes adjustments on the fly a breeze. The LH500 packs a big punch in a portable, roadworthy package. A 2-rackspace metal frame chassis, steel faceplate and handles allow for easy, safe transport from gig to gig. With the needs of modern bass players largely centered around volume and versatility, the LH500 is an ideal solution that gives you plenty of options to create the exact sound you're looking for. Will pack carefully and courier to any UK destination at cost. Or you can arrange to collect from Chichester or Woking, or Putney in London

Basses you hardly ever see for sale

Hi Terry, makes me realise how much I'm missing out living so far away from civilisation - Still the beaches here are nice ! 😂 I've been in touch with Andertons again today to try and obtain a bit more info on their secondhandhand White BB425x. I didn't so I still think it's a bit on the high side - and they won't drop a penny. I've tried researching as much info as I can to find out if the 1025x is really worth the extra premium over the 425x. Seems those in the know have divided opinions 🤔 Actually Terry I quite like the735a. I know many have a lot to say about the capabilities of the 735 - or rather lack of. I've had a go on the 735a (at the Yamaha store in the West End) but never even held a 425 or a 1025 so no idea how they compare 🤔 Are you disappointed the AFR5 has gone ?😔 -

This top class cab is part of my equipment sell off due to finally retiring from gigging. (You can see my recent post in ‘General Discussion’ on this forum) It has been used regularly but has been well cared for and is in excellent condition. I’ve used this with a standard Hartke LH500 and this has made an excellent rig with a clear punchy sound and good portability – cab weight is 25kg. (Hartke is also for sale on here) It comes with an unmarked and undamaged Roqsolid cover, and a standard Speakon cable (can also be used with a regular jack to jack cable) Included is a lightweight crate which is ideal for transporting leads, pedals etc but this also has a high density acoustic damping foam block fixed to the base. When the empty crate is inverted it makes an excellent riser for the cab and the foam helps avoid resonance on hollow stages. See the pictures. It’s easily the best cab I’ve ever owned in my long playing career, and it projects well at all volume levels. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Will pack carefully and courier to any UK destination at cost. Or you can arrange to collect from Chichester or Woking, or Putney in London Sensibly priced at £500, go on, treat yourself ! 😊

You all know this one, but posting as I played it at a small festival a few hours ago. Good to get a bit of Max Romeo (RIP) to a mostly non Reggae crowd.

Ooof, why would you do this to a Barefaced cab?
Mickeyboro replied to ossyrocks's topic in Amps and Cabs
I’d be interested to know as it’s the same with mine! -
I agree that a socket tester should be a vital part of a gigging musicians equipment. Before I left the UK I saw many instances of dangerous practices. One I'll never forget was a 13A plug with about fifty feet of doorbell wire connecting to a VOX AC30. I was terrified for the player!

Anyone know which brand / model of bass this is?
Mrbigstuff replied to Undertone's topic in General Discussion

I've got a couple of Xotic basses and I think that its pretty safe to say that isn't from the same stable. I'm guessing that it's a custom build superjazz - never seen that logo on the headstock before. - Today

Hi, I'm after some information on The Strunal 5/35 hybrid I'm a lefty and this is a proper left handed model At a very reasonable second hand price I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them I've been looking for a good starter bass one that will be a good gigging bass as well Thanks
