  1. Past hour
  2. FGTH played Two Tribes, with more or less the same arrangement as the recorded version, on John Peel in 1982, before they got involved with Trevor Horn and ZTT. The band, outside of Johnson and Rutherford, did not play at all on the album version - it was all session players.
  3. Just to say the bass is still available - I bought another one from Kevin instead!
  4. Cheers, it's definitely summat a bit different!
  5. Yes, I had alluded to that in an earlier post although the body edge still looks quite angular but a couple of the guys above has said it's not as bad as it looks in terms of playing comfort. But with JMJ and a Sandberg shorty I fancy something with a bride pickup - even though it's something I only use sparingly - just for some tonal variation. Although the Sandberg and JMJ sound nothing alike despite both being P configuration. Oh, and I have a Harley Benton P/J Mustang too so really it's just a very tenuous excuse for another bass!
  6. Sorry for the thread hi-jack, but I started to build a vertical 2x12 some time ago, then became impatient and bought a Vanderkley 2x12 that came up local to me. As a result, I have a professionally pre-cut plywood carcass ready for assembly sitting in my loft, along with two of the desirable Faital Pro 320 speakers from the Basschat 1x12 cab design if anyone is interested.
  7. I just put a normal set on mine(45-105), zero hassles because of the wide capstans not putting an unsustainable strain on the windings.
  8. This is going to be an interesting topic! So is the brief that you like everything about your Ampeg SVT212 except the weight?
  9. L serial is correct for 1964 veneer board also correct
  10. Different…Sandberg Florence. https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/bass-guitars/products/2017-sandberg-california-vm4-matte-blue-burst-copy
  11. Something different, a Hermeto Pascoal tune called 'Sempre Feliz' from the the 1986 album, 'Brasil, Universo'. The bass player is Itibere Swarg. Some nice Brazilian stuff but not nearly as crippling as it sounds! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/sempre-feliz-hermeto-pascoal/
  12. Awesome bass, I really hope you enjoy it
  13. The knobs in the control plate look badly spaced to me
  14. Just heard this on the radio, great old one and I’m pretty sure Robbie Shakespeare on bass
  15. Having shipped my Head of Doom back to Ashdown I received a call today from the legend who is Dave Green. Turns out she’d popped a capacitor which he has replaced along with its sister, and she is now winging her way back to me, and should be here on Monday. Amazing service again from the Ashdown team.
  16. Today
  17. Assuming you’re just looking for stage volume and it’s mostly di out to a large PA rig then a decent 210 cab would suffice Rumble cabs tend to fart out when pushed and I’m not too sure they would handle the low B that well But they are reasonably priced If you don’t mind heavy gear then the Ampeg SVT 212 AV is a great single use cab and sounds similar to 610 and 810 Ampeg cabs. A decent 500w head should be fine, Darkglass are very good but so many others to consider and if you need drive just run a boss ODB3 in front or Spark Booster job done Amp Brands to choose Ashdown Ampeg Laney Aguilar ToneHammer Make sure they have a DI output Ive always found the best sound comes from heavier gear but some lightweight gear is a close second these days or some would say as good as especially the top end priced cabs Dont cheap out on cabs as they are more important than amps in many cases
  18. That's great, just what I needed to know, thank you... Or not as it's back on the shopping list now
  19. This was on my board for a few years, never let me down but just fancied a change so I’ve got a boss chorus on the board now. The toneprint options make it a pretty versatile pedal, found myself mostly using the Duff McKagan toneprint. No original box for this unfortunately but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers
  20. Got this in a trade on here recently but it’s just not got much use. Between the green Russian and the grey stache that I own I have my fuzz needs covered. This one is two big muffs running in parallel, one of them has a standard tone control, the other has a mid boost/cut. Certainly a lot to play with and a lot of sounds to be gotten out of it! No original box with this but will be packaged securely. Price will include postage in the UK
  21. I have a U5, and like you was concerned about the ‘digging in the arm’ effect of the bound body. Happy to say that there is a small amount of contouring on the body to ease this - see pic below. I’ve used mine without experiencing any problems. ( Mine is a natural / orangey tinted version, probably a couple of years old.)
  22. it's such a crap thing to have happen ... hope they can sort your bass pronto
