  1. Past hour
  2. Shame they are still so big. IME both the Stomp and the HXFX are a little too limited, but the full size ones are too huge to go on a board. I should probably try the Stomp XL...
  3. WOW. You never see these early TRBp,s with a quilted top ever especially in this condition. Really rare bass.
  4. Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Since acquiring four Precisions and eying up another plus also needing a Jazz, it’s become surplus. I have an addiction at the moment. I admit it. There I’ve said it. I also need an original Barefaced Compact 15 and an original Midget 😂😂😂😂 Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.

  5. I did indeed and it is a great bass 😁 Its price tag does not reflect how well made it is and how good it sounds either. Both my semi acoustics aren’t being used for the simple reason all my work requires Precisions and something with 22 frets.
  6. I had a fretless with Pau Ferro and I really didn't like it, it felt cold and brittle. I also feel like that with Rosewood a little but not as bad. Ebony for fretless is unbelievable and my preferred wood for fretless followed by graphite. For a fretted bass then I don't think it makes any difference as you are fretting onto the frets.
  7. Thats the direction we are headed, or at least slowly trying to get there
  8. Also had a fretless (Warmoth Jazz) with Pau Ferro board and neck, great to play and very hard wearing. As a fingerboard wood it's like a halfway house between rosewood and ebony really, definitely didn't find it dry although I think my bass (I got it used) had an oiled finish. As a neck wood it felt nice and smooth, I never needed to adjust it (it did also have carbon rods IIRC) and great to play, again not dry at all. Liked it and would have another, in fact if I was to spec a custom bass I'd probably lean towards it as it was both practical and visually appealing. I wish I hadn't sold the bass tbh!
  9. The most Entwistle type bass he (surprisingly) never owned. Super cool!
  10. Also owning one, they are great little desks, and at that price a steal.
  11. Lol. I’ve still got one of those (in storage) and it really is unfeasibly heavy. When I recover it I am toying with putting the amp bit in a sleeve and dumping the cab as it is unusably heavy all together.
  12. One of the most recognizable and enduring hits of the disco era. Also a good octave exercise Lipps inc. - Funkytown | Terry Grant
  13. I just love reading old Trace Elliot brochures describing the 4x10 combo as a 'portable gigging solution'
  14. Yeah it’s too good to be a backup amp that’s for sure, needs the taps opening more often than I can. Hopefully she finds a new home soon
  15. I found a kijiji ad that was about six months old , someone in Cape Breton was selling a Dan Armstrong for about $450 Cdn. Messaged the seller , no reply. And made a post on Facebook about the one that got away. An old friend in California told he had a Chinese copy , and it was mine , completely unexpected. And when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised. Put a worn in set of flats on it , slightly tweaked the action , and have used it on gigs. The weight was lighter than expected but it does have some heft. Quite a chunky neck , I’m ok with that , I’m quite accustomed to various neck sizes , and I’ve found a good old school thump with flats and the tone rolled back. I quite enjoy it! 32 inch scale.
  16. 4.4kg give or take...weighed by me getting on scales with and without bass!:)
  17. I had a pair of hs210s, absolutely fabulous and sound huge and punchy for their size.
  18. Long story short, no I can’t find it. I kept it safe for years and haven’t thrown it away but I’ve moved twice since and put things in storage and I can’t find it anywhere. That safe place I put it in is a bit too safe apparently. Sorry
  19. Andy Manners's work is top notch. He was Vintage & Rares’ go to tech when they were operating in Bath. I take any work to Andy since moving to Bath. Thats a cool bass 😎
  20. They kinda look like they’ve been stored in a damp shed. You’d want to make sure the coils haven perished. Also the cabinets are made from MDF, so that could also be fooked.
  21. Thanks. I've forwarded that to Mrs Norris, who likes both ballet and The Who
  22. Bargain. I've had four of them over the years, one was my main gigging bass for years. I bought one at the end of last year but I've gotten used to lighter basses and rounder radiuses in the intervening years so could really gel with it unfortunately.
  23. Today
  24. The problem is that there are limited transport options through the ‘sunlit uplands’, what with all of the unicorns and such…
