  1. Past hour
  2. Years subscription for me too. So looking forward to reading a proper magazine again. Happy days. Dave
  3. Walshy probably a ridiculous question, but if you A/B'd the Noble vs the Nobelium how close do you get?
  4. Once the fretboard is removed I'd assume it would be unsalvageable. The rest of the neck would be fine but I've never heard of any luthier/tech being able to reattach one.
  5. Oh, I don't know....maybe it was ghostwritten?
  6. Markbass Little Mark 58R 500 Watt Amp Head I bought this new from Thomann in August 2025 and have used it a handful of times in rehearsal and gigged it twice. It is like new and has been kept in its original box most of the time. I have decided to move it on as I have gone back to the convenience of using a Markbass combo for most gigs. This is a really powerful amp and has the latest MB preamp. Comes with box and mains lead. Made in Italy. No trades sorry. I can post at your cost in the UK if you can’t pick it up. Weight: 2 kg Series: MB58R Power Handling: 500w@4ohm / 300w@8ohm Preamp: Solid State Power Amp: Mpt (Mark Proprietary Technology) Power: 500w@4ohm / 300w@8ohm EQ: Low – Mid/low – Mid/high – High Old School Filter: Flat/Scooped Mid/Fsw Switch Other Features: XLR Line Out With Level Control and Pre/Post EQ and Gnd Lift Switches, Bi-band Limiter | Mute Switch, FX Send/return Dimensions: 10.87”/ 27.6 Cm (W); 3.27”/ 8.3 Cm (H); 10.08”/ 25.6 Cm(D)
  7. Just weighed it. It comes in at 4.3kg on the bathroom scales (Sorry for the delay my old scales were broken)
  8. I absolutely agree with your comments and as you can see from the front cover of our sample issue we will be looking at bassists from all genres and we want to ensure that whatever you play you can get something from the magazine. I'm going to chat to as many people as I can at the show to galvanise what people want to read about but like you I share an interest in what the average grass roots working bass player is using and why. Hopefully you will give us a try and like what you see/read!
  9. I Love Single Cuts but TBH i can't tell you that plugged in they sound any different than any other bass with the same pickup+placement/hardware/string combo (i also do not do the "tonewood" myth) I've seen some people will argue the extra "mass" add to Tone/Sustain...but again i can't say i ever noticed (also check out BASStheworlds YT Hollow body HB review that has a HB in the MM sweetspot...yep you guessed it it sounds like a MM...) i do feel a bit more rumble/sound/tone in my chest due to the way they sit against your torso which i think is nice, this might be what people think is enhancing their tone (is this a bit like Bone induction earphones?) I've built/building a few Singlecuts myself and im also looking at a BTB SC 5 the "BTB865SC" (wow ibby have such memorable Names don't they!) Make sure you order a WIDE strap if you do get one as even the lighter ones are still quite heavy, So SC basses ....are (still) Marmite ?
  10. Un-mic'd drums. Who's playing them is the question. Bernard Purdy or Dave Lombardo?
  11. Negativ Nein - Einstürzende Neubauten
  12. Very much this. I've got a 91 Stingray (no case) that I don't use much and I've been advised by a couple of guys in the trade that I could easily get £1,500-1,600 for it (although I am in no rush to cash in on it). Ten years or so ago, I was buying and selling US Stingrays for £700-800, which then creeped up to about £1k. The price has definitely gone up since then.
  13. Today

    De-Fret??

    On my lineless/unmarked board they are located on the fretline/note position.
  15. In an ideal world, I'd have a half-cut bass.
  16. Well, BAH! Just got an email from Royal Mail saying they took the strings to Carlisle delivery office by accident and that it will be delayed. Eijits.

  18. just seen one popup on evilbay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/147130313709 collection only, london ...Id have gone for it with postage but it's a 6 hour round trip for me to collect so....
  19. Given that a Sterling Ray 34 is £900 now, a budget EBMM Stingray is likely to be £1200+ so still not exactly cheap. Ive had a couple Sterling Ray 34's and 35's and they are really good. Used EBMM Stingrays on Reverb vary from £1265 - £4069. It looks like a budget of £1800 gets you a decent choice.
  20. Just Say No - the kids from Grange Hill
  21. CKK Gears Compressor. Shouldn't be here 😄
  22. I’ve just seen this Fender orange sparkle relic on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GDUFJfTv6/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  23. Paul bought some strings from me and the whole transaction from start to finish couldn’t have been any easier. Super fast payment and great communications!
  24. This will likely be going to Bassdirect soon so last chance
