I think you nail it with the word 'hype'. They're good enough basses, but IMHO, no better than many other flavours out there. I've owned three of them and sold each, as they just never made the cut when times got hard financially and things had to go. They had very comfortable necks and stable tubers; the bridge was rock solid and the controls top quality, however, I always found the tone controls fiddly and difficult to dial in a useable tone quickly on the fly. BTW, my first Wal cost me £50 (not a typo), when I bought it second-hand, as the guy selling it loathed it with a passion!

As new, used once. Very nice bag, decent padding and support etc. carrying straps fold away when not in use. Which is nice. £75 posted or a bit cheaper if you want to collect. Cheapest I could find online was 117…-

If you're thinking of buying new then best get your skates on; start of the month Steve was talking about shutting up shop 🙁 Should you be in sunny Scotland anytime give me a shout, be happy to let you loose on a Lobe 👍

Just prior to going on, a man on a mobility scooter stopped to sing “Sharp Dressed Man” to me. It set me up for the gig!

Just seen that a couple of you are struggling to get a refund. I didn't hear anything back after the initial cancellation message and then agreeing to refund me. 2 days ago I messaged them for an update on this email: [email protected] They responded quickly and then put my refund through straight away after over a month since the cancellation. This does fill me with a bit of suspicion that they're hoping to get away with not paying everyone back who forget about it.

I recently bought a Tech 21 MIDI Footswitch from Mike. He sent the unit well packaged and with 24 hour delivery. He forgot the psu but ordered one next day delivery from Amazon. Very helpful, great communication and he went above and beyond. Thank you Mike. Peter

Oooohh, this’ll sit really well alongside the Greco! And I know of no better justification than it was there and you fancied it 😄

2008 Lakland 55-02 Black/Rosewood - Price drop - £800

Superb price for such a capable bass. -
We had a lovely gig last night, in what must be a unique venue, The Heron Theatre, Beetham, Cumbria. It's a grade 2 listed building in a small village, run as a charity entirely by volunteers. It serves a large rural catchment around south Cumbria where there aren't really many other venues of its kind. It was sold out well in advance at £15 a ticket. Great people to work with, nice dressing room, free tea, coffee & beer! We ran our own PA but spent the time to get the sound right and it really did sound great in the room as well as on stage. The audience loved it and many of them told us so. They are booked up June 2026, but we'll get another date after that. Rob

Yes, MarkBass amplifiers tend to make vintagey, wooden basses sound very gritty and growly. I get a completely different sound from my MarkBass 210 tilting combo than from my TC Electronic stuff. MarkBass tends to have a very boosted, yet honest sound. You hear literally everything, whereas the TC's are very smooth and sweet sounding, but heavily processed. -
I guess that is it. These are specs that I can take or leave. The 34.5 scale length intrigues me though because I struggled previously with a 35” so need to try one.

GMR Soundboard custom 4 HSC 8lb price drop £650
G-bitch replied to G-bitch's topic in Basses For Sale
It really is enormously versatile, like a more refined/polished version of my old G&L L2000. if finances allowed it would be a keeper, but my days of keeping a 'stable' are long gone (alongside the days of having disposable income 😁). -
Although tbf you'd expect a capture to respond much more like the real thing when you push the input in most cases.

My offer is still on! 😉 -

This is the onboard model of the SVT, same with the GK. It could just be a capture under the hood though I suppose.

Muffin's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship

Isn’t that the nature of captures vs models? captures the SVT again with the gain up a load to have a more gainy version?

Fender Jazz Bass 4 bolt maple neck (1973A). Quite a succesfull design... 😉 Black binding/blocks. Very old black over walnut finish (probably factory refin as they did in those days to comply with custom orders) white 3ply pick guard. Stackpole potmeters (1973), Fender pickups (1972). This bass has been refretted and a brass nut (a trendy repkacement in the late seventies/early eighties) is restored with a bone one. The bass plays perfectly with action as low as you wanna go. Pickup output is very powerfull. This beautiful thing really is as good as an early seventies Jazz Bass is gonna get and most certainly it won’t lose value either. A nice weight of 4000 grams/8.8LBS of groovy funky jazzy coolness. Looots of Geddy Lee , Chris Squire, Larry Graham and Marcus Miller vibes. Comes with (later) Fender case-

Selling this lovely Bitmap in great shape with original box - it's basically mint apart of velcro. These received significant software update last year with additional clipping modes etc. Red Panda has also very convenient web editor for presets. Happy to trade (with price adjustments) for interesting dirt pedals. Bitmap occupies my "loose spot" for additional dirt in pedalboard and I'm just happy to experiment. Basic overdrive I'm covering with Capo. The ones I would love to try are EAE, Damnation Audio, Broughton, Bearfoot, Hiero etc. Would've thrown 3leaf in but what are the chances-
