  1. Past hour
  2. Good Darts, loves a HBP50 modder post. - here is mine.
  3. Beautiful bass. Elwoods seem to be prone to truss rod snappery. Seen others with the same complaint! Great peace of mind for the buyer that it's been replaced with a much more stable one. The bound ebony I think looks better than Rosewood anyway...
  4. You can’t slap flats 🤔
  5. Off to the recycling centre in the morning, please lock tomorrow.
  6. It's not my youtube movie, but get similar results with my 4003 + YYZ pedal
  7. It's for those who like to play unplugged. Not for me, I have two Dean Exotica acoustic basses and I always plug in...it's all about the tone. I'm not saying my Deans sound better, but I bet they do. Other than that, Brian seems to like it because he's playing it again and again.
  8. I'm definitely a fretless player, wanna proof? Check this... And a lot are missing...
  9. What’s that bridge? Looks just like my cup of tea.
  10. It lives...!
  11. Hi folks - up for sale is an Ashdown Amp - the little amp that could. Fine amps, awesome on a pedalboard. But I have six amps and even I think that's ridiculous, so last in first out. Bought here 2-3 months ago, not gigged since I got it so up for what I paid - £160 including UK postage.
  12. Hi folks - up for sale is a Tech21 Leeds pedal. Long discontinued, lordy knows why - a fine fine fine pedal. Excellent condition - it may well have been new old stock when I found it. Comes with original Tech21 tin. Looking for £180 posted.
  13. Hi Folks - up for sale is a Maruszczyk Elwood L 6P bass. Original owner, I had the bass made in June 2017. Here's the specs: 24 fret - flame maple neck with a bound ebony fingerboard, 34 inch scale Passive Volume/Blend/Tone controls, Sadowsky-style knobs Olympic White on alder body Hipshot A bridge - 19mm adjustable spacing Hipshot Ultralite Y-tuners Delano JSBC-HE pickups Weight is 4.3kg Deluxe gigbag included. The bass is in excellent condition, with a few minor nicks on the headstock. The neck originally had a rosewood fingerboard when it was made, but the truss rod was made of cheese and snapped in early 2021. I had the fingerboard replaced with ebony and had carbon fibre rods added at the time. Work was done by Balazs Prohaszka at the Avalon Guitar company in N.Ireland. Here's some of his own work: https://prohaszkaguitars.com/ The same bass spec'd today from Maruszczyk is €2620, working out at £2275. I'm selling this for £1350 including shipping within the UK. Insured shipping at your cost. Bass comes with a semi-rigid deluxe gigbag and will be very well packed. And now the pics:
  14. Why did I have to click on this... 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 I thought all active Anaconda basses utilised an 18v pre. Seems I was wrong.
  15. Yep i ended up deleting all my very old pics. Dave
  16. Defo take a towel at least. And water. You don’t realise the heat that can be on stages. And you’ll hopefully be having a great time so end up a sweaty mess. Maybe that’s just me. 😂
  17. Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory Vintage Chorus Pedal NYC Made 70’s/80’s This is the one made famous in the 80’s by musicians including Peter Hook, John McGeoch and again later by Kirk Cobain. You can get sweeping chorus, subtle vibrato, to mad flange and synth like sounds from this unit. It’s a hard wired mains unit and the casing has plenty of dings and touch ups to the paint. It works perfectly and sounds great. These are quite rare now. I’ve owned two and this is the one that is all original. It’s an old pedal and like most vintage EH gear a bit noisy but it’s not a particular issue for live gigs.
  18. Tape wound bass strings, nice and thumpy. Used on an old Gibson bass briefly and a Shortscale Stingray. Silks a bit scruffy. UK postage included. Medium gauge. Paypal please.
  19. As per title used briefly on a shortscale Stingray. Cut for 3+1 or 2+2 basses. Lightly used. Price includes UK postage. PayPal please.
  20. Correct. Great sounding pickup and a great playing little vintage Fender!
  21. Horses - Patti Smith
  22. Could go for an SR5 neck, on the basis that I could just find a body to attach it to easily.
  23. Two x 2 hour gigs at the Dereham Blues Festival on Sunday. These were the inaugural gigs for the Checkmate Kings new line up and the first the band has done since last year’s festival. The first was outdoors at the George Hotel to a packed beer garden and pub. Despite some significant cock ups it went well and we got plenty of positive feedback, including a possible return match later. It was pretty hot but we were under two gazebos, which gave us the space to spread out. Gear was 2 x LFSys Monzas, Blackstar U700, MB LMIII 500 back-up, Mooer Envelope filter pedal, Boss Tu3, Maruszczyk Elwood 4a 32” and Greco Atomic 32” as spare. Everything was DI’d, so the master didn’t go above 9 o’clock on the U700. One of these days I’ll get the chance to open up the rig! The second gig was early evening at the Red Lion and indoors. Hot, hot! We were squashed into a small space at the end of the bar. It’s a small pub, so pretty tight. However, our keyboard player wasn’t able to attend as he was playing at the Ely folk festival, so at least we were down to 5. Minimal equipment, just vocals, kick and sax into one PA column. I only used one cab and the guitarist used a small combo. Without the keyboard player we had to drop some material and rearrange on the fly, which had mixed success. I had some brain farts, which was embarrassing given some of the people who came to see us. Just as we were starting, I noticed that one side of the bridge saddle on the A string had dropped, which explained why I could hardly hear it (choking off). Fortunately I had my guitar multi-tool with me and I was able to fix it. Ah! I can’t post the pics, I seem to have a 43KB limit! That’s tiny these days!
