  1. Past hour
  2. Up for grabs - the pedal I thought I'd never sell, but GAS is a cruel mistress and my solo ambient bass noodling isn't something that's getting a lot of focus right now. Incredible granular delay, micro looper, ambient soundscape generator. So good that sometimes it feels like cheating at music! This is boxed, in perfect condition, never gigged, with manual and power supply. Has velcro on the underside. Postage in the UK is £5, or collection in Derby welcomed.
  3. Slacking you are.
  4. If they "work their way out", push them back in!!!
  5. Or you could order them direct… https://www.public-peace.de/maruszczyk-instruments-mf5-medium-scale.html
  6. TBH @Lozz196, if this were a 32” I probably would be considering it 🤪 Out of interest @Soulman, why the change of ACG pickups for the Nordys?
  7. Yes still up for grabs
  8. Milk It - Nirvana
  9. You could try H J Williams too (Ex Overwater).
  10. bought a power supply from Patrick very quick delivery with no issues and a very smooth transaction thanks, jimmy
  11. Loss leader owned by Russian (insert county of your choice) billionaire?
  12. I’m now in the process of getting another beautiful Overwater made. Here are the first pictures for the build diary.

  13. Think @Merton is probably on The Severn Bridge already
  14. Today
  15. Try the Maroochick ones? Bass Direct can prob get them in for you
  16. Still use my all tube 100w Ampeg head, which sounds like a big, but smooth SVT. And the ABM. Can't live without tubes. The ABM is the best implementation of a one valve head I have ever used. Love it for some of my basses, but the Ampeg just has something special I can't get the ABM to achieve. If I ever do, I'm fine with using the ABM. But for now, the Ampeg gets 60 or so percent of the work depending on the bass and my mood at the time.
  17. Accounts show 36 sites with 736 studios generating 13m turnover with cost of sales 9m. Administration costs are 14m so a loss of 10m.
  18. Viv Wilcock makes a short scale with a 51P pickup. I believe he calls it the 51-P!
  19. After years I finally invested in ACS moulded plugs and they are saving my ears and keeping me playing. I have mild tinnitus in my left ear and I can’t risk doing any more damage.
  20. They operate at a loss or at a tiny margin to scale, take on debt to expand, then ramp up prices as the debt (either to banks or VCs) needs to be paid back. It’s a tale as old as time. I may be wrong and they’re generating a massive profit but I reckon they’re probably heavily indebted. Guess you could check the accounts. Smart option would be to buy the buildings then lease them back to the company. So you have the loss making studio part and the profit making property bit. Maybe that’s what they’ve done. Ultimately, Pirate is like all cut price options, Ryannair, for example. You’re probably better off paying a few quid extra.
  21. That's a lovely piece of timber! And no doubt a gorgeous bass.
  22. Seems to be reports of issues on some active basses. Not sure about systems with TRS plugs.
  23. Correct. Great sounding pickup and a great playing little vintage Fender!
  24. I drilled the main board the other day and have just swaged the eyelets. There are also 3 turrets, which will support the rectifier diodes and provide connection points for the incoming AC. The red stickers cover the mounting holes where the standoffs will go, so that some eejit doesn't stick eyelets in them...
