  3. He always does that, they are used to it. I thought it was a masterpiece of showmanship. The riff does vary a bit.

  5. She can always get another husband with cheaper hobbies
  6. Once upon a time I was a little irresponsible.....Schroeder 4x10 AND 2x15 Where the heck did I think I was playing? Wembley 🤣 I replaced it with a "more sedate" Barefaced Big Twin T. 🤣
  7. Don't fancy yours. Bass, that is, not other half.

    Agree with you @paul_5 - also don’t forget washers mean you can drill 1-2mm up to give you some wiggle room.

  13. Man, that's very nice indeed.... I had (and stupidly sold) a paisley Telecaster, and have wanted a bass in the same scheme for ages.
  14. lovely condition £45 including UK shipping will ship internationally at cost
  15. If, like me you're a big Primus fan, that's got to be tempting. But unless you're pretty darn rich I can't recommend it in good concience.
  16. I'll take £12.50 a set and offers for more than one
  17. Today
  18. I've had great fun and satisfaction out of this instrument. It is much modified, as you'll see, and it took me a couple of years to get it to just where I wanted it. I've really enjoyed having it, but have moved on in my mind, so happy to pass it to someone else. Specs: 30" scale Semi hollow 38mm nut width Mahogany body and neck Maple top Bound fingerboard, not sure what wood (likely rosewood), 20 frets. Modifications: (loads!) Tuners - Wilkinson gold Y tuners Neck - I don't like shiny, so I took the neck back to bare wood, then danish oiled it. It feels fantastic, very tactile. I'm not good at fine finishing, so the points where I left off sanding are obvious (see pictures) Body - same as above, don't like shiny. Back and sides have just had the shine taken off, but I went to town on the top - took all the finish off, then danish oil. It's a matte finish that allows the wood pattern to present well. Again, see pics for a couple of bits where I went too hard... Tailpiece - I wanted to use a long scale set of TI flats, so fitted the tailpiece. This has worked very well, with a couple of unexpected benefits - the usual 3 point bridge 'problems' have been bypassed. Also there is a pleasing natural saturation to the tone. It's very much a blues bass. Pickups - as you can see, I've replaced the 2 mini humbuckers with 3 matching AliExpress specials. I really like the Thundertron vibes, and they sound excellent. Controls - wired the pickups to master vol/tone and a 5 way selector. I don't like positions 2 and 4, but each pickup on it's own sounds great - real plummy warmth from the neck, P vibes from the middle, and just a tighter P sound from the bridge. So there we are. I think it looks splendid, you might disagree. I believe the current examples have 42mm necks, so this one might appeal to those who prefer a jazz neck... Very happy to answer questions, or take any good natured abuse...

  19. Nah! Red h green works I have gigged the C4 with an Elf too!
  20. Thank you! Tinytone will work 👌
  21. Will part trade toward a cali76 CB cash your way.
  22. This was probably the one you wanted
  23. I always gigged with the angled driver pointing up, being pretty tall playing on small stages was always a pain for me but this was like having a regular cab and a wedge monitor in one compact box. I did tiny pubs and ballrooms with it like this, always delivered the goods. I later recreated this with the Markbass Club 121 cabs (after struggling with the TRV151p) - one facing forward and the other angled upwards on top of it with my head on an Ikea laptop tray! Looking back I should have just kept the Schroeder..
  24. As new, used a handful of times , have attached Velcro to the underside. Comes with all the original packaging & price includes recorded postage.

  25. Bartolini 6RC Pickup. This is a direct drop-in for your Rickenbacker bridge pickup. Only selling as I am using an alternative in my 4003. Just a bit of shine on the top of the pup where the string rubs a little. Bass Direct have these new at £118 < only asking £75, UK postage included. PM for any more info, thanks for looking! SB 😀
  26. Live Aid was on my eleventh birthday. I remember watching it and thinking "They're going to have to do something BLOODY spectacular for my twelfth..."
