  1. Past hour
  2. You need a flame torch or TIG for proper silver solder.
  3. Price dropped to £60!
  4. Ibanez EHB 1005 MS £750 Excellent condition, with gig bag. 3.4kg. Bought new less than a year ago. These are great basses with just two annoying things: Fret markers are difficult to see and the locking jack socket needs two hands for you to remove the cable. I've addressed both of those: Lumo fret stickers (removable) and I took the small spring out of the socket so it doesn't push in to lock (I still have the small spring so it could be put back in). Collection from Chichester, or I'm in Central London on Mondays. I have the Ibanez box it could potentially be posted in (will add a photo once I've gone up to the loft). I'm sort of testing the water with this as I have seen a 4 string Bass I want, so I might remove this advert if that sells first. I keep buying these Basses when I feel I 'need' a 5 string, then after about a year I feel I 'need' a 4 string! And I'm always a one Bass at a time sort of person - I don't like swopping between different onces especially if different scale lengths, and I always need to sell a Bass to fund the next one so I carry on with the annual cycle of selling 5 string to get a 4 and vice versa. Really as a 5 string I think these are hard to beat: Clear 35" B string, even tone and confortable to play the multiscale, about as lightweight as any 5 string you can get, decent 3 band EQ with sweepable mids. This time next year when I 'need' a 5 string again I'll probbaly buy one of these!
  5. Very nice bass. You don't see many for sale, and a great story. BTW, you'd be advised to follow the forum recommendation about proof of ownership at the top of the thread.
  6. It turned a few heads, especially the head of R&D who is a design sepcialist
  7. Yep - I tried adding more and that didn't work. My old iron is an Antex; it can't do silver solder though.

    Boss GX-1B

    I’m the person who bought this, I wasn’t allowed to talk about this until today. It was mistakenly for sale on eBay and I snapped it up. I've had almost two weeks with it and here’s my thoughts. Two outputs but no option to split signals, no di out valeton has two. No fx loop again the valeton has one. only 3 fx slots that can be any effect but reverb and delay aren’t able to be swapped for another usable fx, why? Plus points for the pitch shifter, much better than my digitech drop. The drive sounds are good using the sansamp one at the moment. Amps and cabs are great. Great as a practice tool definitely with built in Bluetooth and headphone out. It’s nice to see boss catering to bass players, just don’t understand why some of the most useful tools for a bass player have been omitted. Honestly it sounds good, I’ve used it at practice and the band liked it but preferred my normal setup. Am I going to keep it? Probably not. It’s just missing things that I find useful. What’s keeping it with me right now is the pitch shifter and the fact it’s much more compact than my board. Now that the tone studio and app are out I’ll be playing with that before I make my final decision on it.
  9. There's one on ebay Fender Mex. Truss Rod Nut Guitar/Bass (2pcs) - 003-8454-049 | eBay UK
  10. Would likely take an interesting swap for this. I was hoping to use the money towards a short scale ACG, but also in the market for a Jazz, preferably a Flea signature in pink if there's any going round. Send me a PM, always up for a chat!
  11. People who have to have the application they're using on full screen on a shared terminal... and don't close it. They're not using the full functionality of the windows... thing. Actually, I think that's a daily annoyance
  12. MM mutes never used £25 including UK postage.
  13. Pickguards in general tbh. Let's take this lovely piece of wood and stick a random bit of horrible plastic on... Especially Stingray/round Musicman ones (see my profile pic...) why would I want an expensive instrument to resemble a toilet seat...
  14. Badass 3 bridge never been used. £90 including UK postage
  15. How upright? There are vans which get close to tall enough. E.g. Fiat Ducato/Citroen Relay in H3 format is 2.17 m max load height. Loading the basses with a slight lean this may be tall enough.
  16. Late to the party, but I’ve found Canva has become even more useful lately, especially with the newer animation and quick-resize tools. Has anyone here tried using it for gig setlists or simple lyric videos? I’ve been testing a few templates, and it’s surprisingly quick to put something together that looks tidy. Curious how others are using it for band or promo stuff these days.
  17. David Hood played on the original Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind
  18. My dad still has it, yes.
  19. Today
  20. Hi folks I'm potentially needing a bass collected, packed and couriered to Scotland if anyone can recommend a local courier in Lichfield. Or if you are making such a journey then I'll happily reimburse you for your troubles. Appreciated. Ian.
  21. While nowhere near as bad as they used to be i find Reverbs Fee's to still be a little off putting, I've also started to get a lot of Fraudulent "sold" Spam, I reported this via there system but the messages are still coming in from various accounts.. here's the last one (minus the "hot ink") Hey, Your item has been sold on Reverb. This message includes a link where you can look over your account details. There’s no rush and it doesn’t take long — most people just skim through the info and move on. This step usually comes up around this point as the sale wraps up,http://*****.org/lkajdo just to keep everything aligned in the final stage. Once you’ve had a look, you can leave it there. The rest of the process continues without any follow-ups or extra steps. If something catches your eye while you’re checking, you can always reach out — but generally it’s a quick pass and that’s it. Deli‌very Te‍am Seems Reverb have a problem they can't fix.....
  22. Do you still have the loco?
  23. Caught in a web - dream theatre
  24. I recently purchased this from a small solo builder. Fantastic build quality and to my ears it's identical to the Darkglass I had. I had no need for a DI like the original, this doesn't have one. So it's just a killer dirt box. It was a kind of impulse purchase for me, as awesome as it is I've really no use for it sadly (I can get similar with what I already have) . I put it on my board but it's had very little use so it's as new. £93 posted. Always happy to hear trades w.h.y(possibly another vintage micro tubes)👍 I forgot to take a pic, but I've put fresh pedal tape on the bottom (I can remove if needed)
  25. I'm not a fan of Reverb now. Used it a bit in the past with no issues whatsoever, but last year I wanted to list some items and found that my account was suspended for some reason. It started to become a right faff to get it working again so I left it. Couldn't be ars£d. Ebay is super easy now so I just use them if I have no success on Basschat.
  26. Can't remember whether you ever went down the Ampeg SGT DI route? I've just come across this: Ampeg SGT-DI vs Origin effects Bassrigs - Effects - Basschat and quite a few BC'ers are really liking how Ampeg are delivering an authentic Ampeg sound!
