  1. Past hour
  2. Sorry you have decided to sell it. I have one and would like to have another. Does it come with the original case? All the best!
  3. "Is this the Potato Farm?" "Yes , I am Albert Potato" Top Secret c.1988
  4. Yesterday
  5. I wholeheartedly concur with @Silky999 - this is a spectacular little bass with a rich and full sound - We even tuned the pickup angles between us, so it sounds perfectly even between each string. If I hadn't taken a 5-string Maruszczyk Mr.Tee Shortscale in P/X last week, I'd be having this myself! The engraved 'MGCS Basses' logo on the body is next level cool, too.
  6. For sale is a my hand-built custom Precision-style bass with quality components throughout. Built as a one-off to explore a few design ideas and hardware combinations. Supplied with Fender gig bag. Specifications: Body: Sapele, poly finish Neck: Wenge, custom headstock shape. Fret levelled, dressed and polished. Tuners: Hipshot USA Ultralight Bridge: Gotoh Pickup: Tonerider Precision Plus Wiring: Bloodstone Guitarworks loom Strings: D’Addario XL (recently fitted) Pickguard: Custom shape (plastic still on) The bass plays very well with a comfortable neck feel, good balance and strong, punchy P-style tone.

  7. Possibly, as a child, likely in a production, he didn’t get to pick and choose ?
  8. It’s been a long time since I posted a board! Shure GLDX16+ into a Quad Cortex Mini, powered by a battery. Testing this evening went from 100% down to 70 odd in about 3hrs 11 mins before I switched it all off. That would be more than enough for a practice or gig. Whether I’m brave enough for that remains to be seen! 😂
  9. Blue Aran do 1U power amps from cheap to expensive .. no idea if they’re any good but worth a look https://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=JMSX16&msh=JMF61 I use a Koch ATR-4502, made for guitar but I think it works fine on bass for me
  10. Richard, I still think yours is an absolutely beast and sounds phenomenal!! If you fancy changing your bridge, the Hipshot has adjustable spacing so you can line up the strings to the poles. Have you used the walnut/graphite in anger yet?
  11. Wow. Your best work yet..? 😎👍🏻
  12. OK.. we're into the Arena now. Tonight was a soundcheck, and a cursory run-through the set. Tomorrow we'll be going into more depth, checking cues etc. Here's some pics:
  13. Yes, kind-of. One of them is now hosting the show, so we have a replacement for her...
  14. In addition to first rate customer support is the value for money of used Ashdown kit.
  15. Arguably, the Crown Jewel of Rickenbacker Basses! 4002 basses were made from 1977-1984 in only two different finishes. It's likely that less than 100 were ever built. Historically, the kicker is that very little has been written about these basses. And yes, a handful of Factory Special 4002-type basses have been sporadically made by Rickenbacker since 2013. This video was created as a resource for anyone who's ever wanted to learn more about this rare bass. There was SO MUCH MORE to this story than I ever imagined! Enjoy!
  16. I musread that and wondered why, if you insisted on singing songs from Oliver, you didn't choose Food Glorious Food?
  17. A slippery slope is the PG version hahahahahahahahaha. Jack sent me this and its be a god send. i have enough space to add the mxr phaser and the rather wide genzler reQ if i decide to go that direction. I think a HPF is always helpful Oh Yes patch cables, thanks for reminding me.
  18. Hi Misdee - Thank you SO much for your kind comments! I appreciate you making the trip to our original location in Calabasas (we were there from October '86-July '88 when we moved to Studio City.) Yeah, I really lucked out with the BRG - I agree it looks great - it's such a freakin' classy color, and you're right, it looks better on some models rather than others. It was great to meet people from all over the world, and was a privilege. I imagine your accent was easy for me at the time working with Brits every day! Are you still gigging? If yes, what are you using? Chris
  19. Recently bought a MM Sabre from David. Had a lovely chat about all things bass over a cuppa. The bass had a few problems that I elected to get repaired by my local guitar tech. I let David have a copy of the invoice and the tech report and he refunded the cost to me. I was not expecting that! I couldn't rate him higher as a basschat seller. Ronnie.
  20. Pedals are indeed a slippery slope! I'd recommend having a play around here to make sure your pedals fit your proposed board and don't forget to leave space for patch cables between pedals, plus room for expansion 😝 https://pedalplayground.com/
  21. I thought I replied to you. my bad. As my pedals are now Tc poly tune 3 mini >Empress bass compressor > Genzler 4 on the floor > Mirco POG > Zoom Ms70 CDR+ > EHX Freeze >Ditto x2 (mate i can't believe how the total amount of pedals doesn't hit you until it's close to completion) i was thinking of this https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_spaceship_power_40.htm What makes me want to slyly vomit is I want to add a phaser pedal ( I learnt i love the phaser effect) and also a EQ with HPF and LPF.
  22. Hi, and many thanks for your reply. I checked out Ishibashi first because they've come recommended by several BC members. Unfortunately they don't have the bass I'm looking for, despite it being widely available in Japan (I'm after certain Ibanez 5 string BTB's). I've also reached out to another popular choice, Zen, by completing and submitting their on line contact form but not heard back from them yet.
  23. Dorset eh? Nice 👍.
