  1. Past hour
  2. Yes. They had several branches locally in Essex during the 1970’s. Not specialists, but at that time they served my need for strings, straps, picks etc. For serious bass stuff I’d often take a trip to Liverpool Street and walk to the Bass Centre in Wapping. Although that was probably in the 80’s or later.
  3. All seemingly OK as I hit 70 years old. Still gigging in a couple of local acts. A duo and a five piece function band. Retired some 2. years ago. Curious about your new location but tell me privately via email. Regards
  4. This amp is now £400 on Amazon. Incredible. I will drop the price for the amp, adapter, pedalboard and case to £500, which is still a good deal I think, but I really cannot go any lower. If it doesn't sell at this price I will just keep it as a spare.
  5. Can we go back to the first statement in the thread. Please justify four basses to yourself otherwise many of us are in deep trouble…..
  6. @Bagman the 4” wide leather straps from The Bass Gallery are on all my basses (including 2 x Warwicks). They look good, last for years and are very comfortable.
  7. It was never like that back in the day Nostalgia isn't what it used to be 😂
  8. Location: Teesside (N.E.)
  9. Cool, that's what we do now on our analogue mixer+headphone amp and looking forward to the day we get an XR to do the same. Another band I play in has started to use an X32 (desktop, not rack, version) but the friend owning it has yet to figure out our individual mix control.
  10. Stay with the Force, do not stray to the Dark Side …
  11. I've not done that approach but it's a good idea. I struggled for a while with the EQ on my terror head (second edition) but over the years have settled on this eq. Sometimes I vary the treble a bit depending how old my strings are. I'm always playing a P bass with a pick and round wound strings so this won't suit everyone. - Bass at 25% ( or 9 using the hands of a clock approach) - Mids at 75% (3 on a clock) - Treble about 40/50% Paul
  12. Sounds a fantastic place, I never had the pleasure. Wanted to see what it had looked like from the outside, but found this cool image instead with a bit of story... (source)
  13. Amazing how many people come up after gigs and say ‘that’s had a hard life’… Also, its the only bass I have owned a drummer has complimented sound-wise🤔
  14. Up for sale is this unopened/new Fender vintage bridge. Happy to ship or pickup near Ashford.
  15. Whites in Sunderland and Windows in Newcastle. Spent a lot of my youth drooling over basses that I could never afford at the time.
  16. This one? (source)
  17. Hi Harlequin74, Yes it is, if would like to buy then pm me your details etc and we can sort 👍 Cheers Matt
  18. Good to see a person's name above the shop, it makes it more personal for me.
  19. I asked Orange what flat eq was supposed to be, even they weren’t sure! But they did have a great suggestion. They suggested plugging the bass into the return to hear what flat is (bypassing the preamp stage), then plugging into the amp as normal to compare the tone by ear…and to these ears it seems that indeed treble fully off, mid fullly on and bass fully off seems to be flat eq! I would be interested to hear what other players opinions would be if they try this method?
