  1. Past hour
  2. I’ve known John W for nearly 40 years, and he’s always been superb at his craft. It’s great to see him getting a deserved mention. A proper hidden gem, and a lovely guy with it!
  3. Freebie alert...Honeycomb Bass OD App. I haven't tried it yet but will give it a whirl a bit later: Honeycomb Bass OD | Free Bass Plugin | Canvas Audio
  4. First Bass: Sire V3 Jazz Go to Bass: Bass Centre Betsy 'Your' Bass: Status S23 * * I would point out that I am in no way good enough yet to have my own sound!
  5. Something like that. 🤣 They’re a very shy and retiring instrument.
  6. Here's what you need to do and how things will go. Buy both. Then buy another one, and another one, then another one. After you've bought the last one, get another couple. Then one or two more. Oh, and then another one. This is how it goes. This is how it always goes. Don't buck the trend.
  7. So here's a game I play roughly once a year. I list a whole bunch of gear for sale (really not wanting to sell any of it you understand) and once a few things have actually sold 😩 I let the remaining listings slide down below the radar. Until the next time. I'm not selling because I'm desperate for the money, and if I was John Entwistle then I'd just keep the lot and have an ever-expanding collection, but the reality is that over half my gear gets used very little, if at all. Common sense says that at least some of this lovely kit should get back out in circulation. I have no interest at all in trades. Replacing an amp or cab that doesn't get used with a different amp or cab that won't get used seems like a complete waste of time and effort. On the other hand, much of my kit is pretty non-standard or left-field and therefore hard to price, so I'm not absolutely wedded to the figure stated. I'm in Harrow HA1, close to Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line, and I gig regularly throughout Beds, Bucks, Herts & Middx, with occasional forays into Surrey. Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option. Here's the original blurb from 10 years ago: The aluminum specialists at Alusonic are getting into the bass cabinet world with the ALU112. Housed in an aircraft grade aluminum hardshell, the cab is loaded with a 12-inch aluminum cast frame woofer with a neodymium magnet. The ALU112 has an 8 ohm impedence with a nominal power handling of 400 watts RMS and continuous power handling of 600 watts RMS. The cab, which weighs in around 20 pounds, has rear bass ports and a top-mounted, recessed handle. It can be ordered with or without a one-inch compression driver, which would also add a 2.5kHz custom crossover with a variable tweeter control on the back panel. Other features include a frequency range of 32 hertz to 18 kilohertz, input and link Neutrik Speakon connections, and an epoxy-polyester finish. The Alusonic ALU112 is built in Italy. The price list for the standard version is approximately $869 while the cabinet with a tweeter goes for $995. This one has been daaaaaahn the lockup for a few months. Time to move on.

  9. Good luck finding one (or even it) 👍
  10. I just bought a pedal from Dave, just what you want from an experienced BCer. It was as advertised, he was quick to send it and insured it properly. Highly recommended.

Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option. Made for me years ago by those lovely folk in Huddersfield, my bad back was at its worst when I ordered it so they undertook to build me the lightest GT100 in captivity. When you're talking about old-school valve amps, "light" is a relative sort of word. This is absolutely not a disguised Class D. Even in super-lightweight form, this beastie still weighs about 15Kg and is an awkward sod to manoevre in tight spaces - those grab handles at the front aren't there because they look good. It's like stepping back 50/60 years, and there are settings that make my bassline sound like it's being filtered through melted chocolate to fill the room, any room. I paired it with a Barefaced 2x12. I imagine it would sound even more majestic with an old-school rig to match its own status. Comes with appropriate very heavy-duty Speakon cable. And an honest-to-God, f***-off flight case built just for it. Which weighs darn near as much as the amp, of course. The price is very low, I know, but that's OK. I just want to see it back in action in the hands of a highly-qualified weight-lifter who also plays bass.
  12. Beautiful.

  14. Sadly, the cab was already on a separate thread. Thanks for the messages from everyone here
  15. I had an FL Thinline, it was a lovely thing 👍
  16. I’m currently ampless in the bass department but have a rather nice black star guitar amp. I’m looking for an aesthetically pleasing small bass amp+ cab or combo to join it but I’m struggling a little. The look tends to be black tolex and coloured speakers, where coloured tolex and a nice cloth grill is what I’m after. Any suggestions for a combo or cab?
  17. @TrevorRis right - if one has only ever heard a bass guitar on a recording, through headphones or a laptop speaker, or even a hifi, then the sound of a real bass is shockingly powerful. One can mute the notes, play them shorter, not let the open strings ring out. One can even set the amp controls to 'flat' (no cut, no boost). All those techniques will tame the bass sound. However, ultimately, the bass is a powerful instrument. I would worry less about the specifications and the numbers, and more about what instrument feels best in your hands.
  18. Now the built in stand is a definite must of a mod 😁
  19. Not hot pink but it's a start https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/annonce-2417837
  20. I can only assume you tried to load pics of the bass but the mods removed it because they didn’t think we could cope in the trouser dept? It’s understandable!
