  3. MM Stingray 62
    I’m now in the process of getting another beautiful Overwater made. Here are the first pictures for the build diary.
  4. Lozz196 started following AGC Graft Plus 5 String.

    Think @Merton is probably on The Severn Bridge already
  6. briansbrew started following Alembic Epic (4 string) from 1994 with a rare Watermark Koa top - FOR SALE £​​​​​​​2000

    Try the Maroochick ones? Bass Direct can prob get them in for you
  8. dagrev started following Valve Amp - who’s still using them?
  9. dagrev
    Still use my all tube 100w Ampeg head, which sounds like a big, but smooth SVT. And the ABM. Can't live without tubes. The ABM is the best implementation of a one valve head I have ever used. Love it for some of my basses, but the Ampeg just has something special I can't get the ABM to achieve. If I ever do, I'm fine with using the ABM. But for now, the Ampeg gets 60 or so percent of the work depending on the bass and my mood at the time.

    Accounts show 36 sites with 736 studios generating 13m turnover with cost of sales 9m. Administration costs are 14m so a loss of 10m.

    And there’s one for sale on BC right now…

    Viv Wilcock makes a short scale with a 51P pickup. I believe he calls it the 51-P!

    After years I finally invested in ACS moulded plugs and they are saving my ears and keeping me playing. I have mild tinnitus in my left ear and I can’t risk doing any more damage.

    They operate at a loss or at a tiny margin to scale, take on debt to expand, then ramp up prices as the debt (either to banks or VCs) needs to be paid back. It’s a tale as old as time. I may be wrong and they’re generating a massive profit but I reckon they’re probably heavily indebted. Guess you could check the accounts. Smart option would be to buy the buildings then lease them back to the company. So you have the loss making studio part and the profit making property bit. Maybe that’s what they’ve done. Ultimately, Pirate is like all cut price options, Ryannair, for example. You’re probably better off paying a few quid extra.

    This still for sale?…..
  16. JoeEvans
    That's a lovely piece of timber! And no doubt a gorgeous bass.
  17. Woodinblack
    Seems to be reports of issues on some active basses. Not sure about systems with TRS plugs.
  18. ash
    Correct. Great sounding pickup and a great playing little vintage Fender!
  19. JapanAxe
    I drilled the main board the other day and have just swaged the eyelets. There are also 3 turrets, which will support the rectifier diodes and provide connection points for the incoming AC. The red stickers cover the mounting holes where the standoffs will go, so that some eejit doesn't stick eyelets in them...

    Cream - Prince
  26. Sean
    Thanks for that. They look the business and he's got loads of experience of doing it. What are we looking at GBP 5-6k? Or are we into double figures?

  31. warwickhunt started following 12-string Custom Build - Which Builder and Why?
  32. warwickhunt
    There's a guy on BC, based in Holland builds @Brookes basses, they are top notch. I'd have to say that the cost of a custom build might come as a bit of a shock! I priced up with several luthiers and most were talking about having to get custom parts as very little is off the shelf.
  33. Silky999
    You are absolutely right that they did come originally with American made Barts. I still have them so I can include them with sale in case someone wants to put it back to more original.
