She's My Cherry Pie - Warrant

with both lakland dj4 and a fender p plugged in going to try again tomorrow but tith the cabs tweeter switched off. and i did try another cable

Yes, you can scroll through presets by holding the main foot switch but it’s clunky and your foot covers the preset lights so it’s guesswork which one you’re on.

Has this been mentioned here yet? Seems like it will hit the spot for a lot of people in this thread, Fender Japan Chilli Beans / Maika Mustang (although it's made in Indonesia I think). Almost exactly what I was after a couple of years ago, if I was still searching for a short scale I would 100% grab one of these.

Pies Without A Face - Billy Idol

TKS: H-15, for clear tone, and portability, and plenty loud. Really sweet, and paired up with a clean head, for projecting the Bass of choice, What a CAb !

I do!

I don't know nuffink about these but I did find this, which calls itself a 2001 Hamer Standard Explorer bass, which is pretty much the same instrument as the Ebay one. https://www.loudandclearmusic.com/shop/c/p/HAMER-STANDARD-EXPLORER-4-STRING-BASS-2001-x88149777.htm I'd guess this is a sort-of reissue of the 80s Blitz (which as I mentioned, I know nuffink about) but much closer to being an unashamed Explorer knockoff, and likely Korean or Indonesian, considering the vintage. There are some minor differences from the Epi Explorer (trc, screw positions, pickups, bridge etc) but it may well be they're both variations of the same thing, from the same factory. The description's a pack of lies - he's trying to fob it off as an original US-made bass when you can actually see there's a country of origin (not legible, but absolutely NOT USA) under the serial number! Googled 'Hamer Explorer bass' & there are loads. Heres one, 2010, Korean. https://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Hamer-Standard-Explorer-Bass-2010-Black-Finish-87420#prettyPhoto I now know much more about these than I previously did...

Yoour joke apart, I believe that Fair Deal Music are an established shop in Birmingham, with decent reviews.

I’ve always been a fan of Ashdown. I had a Mag 300 410 combo that i paired with a Mag 410 cab and it sounded massive. Put a boss sd1 into a odb3 in a loop on a ls2 for drives. Input gain all the way up, all eq’s at midday apart from the hi mid which was back at about 10o’clock, squier pbass bass special with the bottom 4 of a rotosound 5 string set (we were playing in drop c#, so low e a 135 🤘🏻) and a stainless steel tipped Dava pick. It’s still wht i base all my bass sounds on to this day. I’ll build the rig back up again at some point. But damn, it was a good rig for what it cost me back then (being an Ashdown dealer helped 😁)

Lip up fatty - bad manners

Really like that, you don’t see many precisions with matching headstock

Pretty close to one of my dream basses is for sale at the moment with ATB guitars, even though it’s reduced its still a bit pricey for me

Hey BC gang! Cal here. I am over in Belfast for a fesitval showcase on the 17th Jan. Its a big show for the artist, and theyre currently indie and self funded. So im wondering if any fellow BCers might be there and could help me source a (preferably upright) bass to help keep costs down for the artist? Worth a punt before they lay extortionate money to ryanair to fly my P bass! Thanks guys Cal
