  1. Past hour
  2. Jive Talking - The Bee Gees
  3. Pickup only from where?
  4. Yeah I remember going to an Ibanez event at PMT Birmingham before they moved and tried a Talman short scale then. It looked pretty cool - offset, seafoam green, strat style jack socket. Weighed more than my mega heavy Harley Benton Jazz Bass (which Andy ended up hollowing out for me - there's a build thread on here of that process). And it still had massive neck dive.
  5. Rock and Roll - Human League
  6. Bump - due to osteoarthritis in my fingers I’ve decided to scale down my playing and thus move on this guitar.
  7. Agreed on all counts - I paid [used] over £900 for my Aubergine one, and yes, they are excellent basses. There's something about the American Performer. I've got the Competition Burgundy Vintera II as well and nice bass though it is, the Am.Perf is genuinely a step above in both playability and quality. Definitely one of my go-to basses. Best of luck with the sale, Davy.
  8. The nice GK amp will certainly be more than partly responsible too.😊
  9. Large domestic bill forces me to open this up again How does £1850 including UK delivery sound?
  10. Hi Dave, No it's the 3x10. Same height and width as a SuperTwin, but slightly shallower front to back, which is great as it slides under the boot cover in my estate car. I've heard the 6x10 in close quarters and they are great, but I can't imagine me ever needing something that big. The 3x10 has been just perfect in any setting so far. I've had the 12" BF cabs but I just don't get on with them in the same way I do their 10's. Rob
  11. The parking there is a bit of joke from my experience. We went to see Macca there in December, and my son in law booked a disabled space as he’s in a wheelchair. When we arrived the football had already started in the stadium next door and someone had parked in our allocated ( and paid for ) space. I took this up with one of the parking staff who was apologetic but said they couldn’t ensure people didn’t park in the wrong spaces. Pretty crap for us as we needed the space around the car that the disabled bays offered. In the end I found a space on the end of a row and we managed okay but it was a bit of a struggle. 😡 Apparently the football match this Tuesday is starting after the Springsteen gig does, so hopefully we’ll be in with a chance this time.
  12. Roll The Bones - Rush
  13. Spent a few hours on it this afternoon - changed the tuners, oiled the fretboard, general polish up, new strings (my beloved D'addario XLs of course) and a tweak of the setup (intonation mostly). Also, found some hidden treasure on the neck heel - no serial number, but model number confirmed and other mystery letters...
  14. Member #16, joined on 16th May 2007, reporting for duty! I'm an interloper - I joined Bassworld like possibly weeks before the move to BC and happened to be online around the time of initial go live of BC. I know very little of the "before times".
  15. The neck has been stripped, hence no black, hence no logo.
  16. Bonjour. Je suis intéressé, Il est toujours disponible ???
  17. Morning all Up for sale is a set of Squier '77 VMJ pickups. Working perfectly and sound great; I used the bass I got them in for a different build project, so no longer need these. They even come with spring loaded foam, a nice touch. Easy to use for a bitsa build. I'm selling for £27 plus postage. Pete
  18. Today
  19. That’s the full scale version. A brilliant price nevertheless. It’s the TMB 30 & 35 which are the shorties. https://www.ibanez.com/eu/products/model/talman_bass/ I had the 35. Chunky neck and it weighed a ton (apparently they vary a lot). Very noisy, weak Jazz pickup that is not a standard length. Weird Strat style jack socket that I couldn’t get my wireless dongle into. Most people end up spending a lot on upgrades to get a decent bass. Then you can’t recover the outlay if you sell it. Fine, if like me, you are an inveterate modder and enjoy the process.
  20. Not even. There are four inchers that would give good lows if the horn is large enough, but their small displacement would limit their output. Even horn loaded eight inches is the smallest practical size.
  21. Maxi Priest's 'Wild World' brings a reggae twist to Cat Stevens' original. Robbie Shakespeare on bass
  22. Guess you already sold it 😉
  23. Best amp I’ve ever played. Can’t afford, probably don’t need, but boy I wish I could get it! GLWS
