  1. Past hour
  2. Sometimes you just know. Wish you luck with any new projects and keep us all posted. Dave
  3. I agree - I had a BG250 15" and it was excellent. I think people have woken up to how good they are as the secod hand price has crept up from £150 to closer to £200.
  4. the spongy type pipe lagging works well. It's easy to get hold of and cheap cheap.
  5. Fender Mustang PJ MIM A feeler and please remove if it’s in the wrong section or if spares/repairs isn’t acceptable. I’m selling this as a spares project although it is functional albeit not pretty. I bought it earlier this year. It looked water damaged and an absolute mess. I bought it for the body and hardware and pickup parts, the plan being to strip it and buy a new neck for it. The neck had a lot of lacquer cracks and splits around the trussrod veneer at the back and headstock fascia. It needed some rewiring and a new tone pot and all the hardware cleaning with a wire brush. The finish was lifting in lots of places but there were no obvious cracks in the body - I thought about stripping it and finishing it with Tru-oil but haven’t got round to it. When it arrived I thought it wasn’t as bad as I had expected so I cleaned it up. Did the work on the pots,etc. the pickups were fine. I watched a video of rescuing a neck in similar condition and had a bash using epoxy resin. So I tried that and clamped it for a few days and gave it a light sanding to make it feel smooth under the hand. I’m no luthier, I just did it for as an experiment for fun. To my surprise the neck was okay to play and the trussrod worked and adjusted as it ought to. I have actually rehearsed and gigged with it as a spare for my old Fender Musicmaster. The headstock fascia and back has lots of hairline splits in it that I filled with titebond and clamped. They’ve been fine but again I wouldn’t really trust it as a main gigging bass. I must emphasise it’s probably best described as a Fender Mustang body (genuinely Roadworn bass) with a free neck. It’s a fun beater as is or you could put some more work into it to make it into a nice project. You could put another neck on it (I had bought a Bronco neck that unfortunately didn’t materialise thanks to a dodgy courier). The parts are all pretty decent after cleaning. It weighs around 3.7kgs. Here are pics, I can post more if there is interest. The last pictures are when I got it. God knows what had happened to the poor thing! No trades I can post in the UK.

  6. Another Kazumi Watanabe/Jeff Berlin tune, this is The User from the 2013 album 'Spinning Globe'. Some interesting ideas in here but no solos per se so we are in with a chance. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-user-kazumi-watanabe/
  7. pretty vacant - Pistols
  8. Nobody Home ~ Pink Floyd
  9. Wavering, WAVERING, WAVERING!! 😂
  10. Also a good choice
  11. Five months in and no sign of wavering. ☺️
  12. I remember those from an HD500 I had. Much more robust than the current ones. I’m on my second one already. It was replaced easily enough under warranty but a faff to sort.
  13. Hi folks, more stuff from the spares draw. These are very lightweight tuners and the one that Low End Lobster has been fitting to his Sire basses as a drop in replacement. This set is of four tuning machines is brand new and unopened. £100 inc. P&P to UK mainland Here are a couple of pics and the link to Lobster's YouTube vid on the subject.
  14. Not if you’ve already sinned it’s like having a quickie with someone else’s wife and congratulating yourself when no pregnancy results yourself, and “the point” are headed off in different directions
  15. Having played through a Monaco I can imagine this is quite the beast of a cab, even with the “lower rated” driver. I’m half tempted myself, but the cat would need to be included 😆
  16. Hey guys, So, this is the older version of the combo, before the 700RBII. I’ve had it for over a year, after about 6 months the power board shorted out after not pressing in the power button fully. I took it to Taunton Audio Visual Services who managed to get it up and running again. About another 6 months later the same issue has happened again. I’ve since bought a replacement head and have been using the 210 exclusively via a speakon adapter and the cab works perfectly fine and sounds great. When the head was working it sounded even better! I’m offering this up as a repair for someone with the know how or knows someone who can help, and just as a good and solid 2x10 cabinet which can be used with any head with the adapter. The overall condition of the combo is pretty good for its age. The handle and wheels all work perfectly fine and there is no major cosmetic damage. This is a collection only from Bridgwater, Somerset. I can also meet up or deliver within a certain distance as well. Thanks, Josh.
  17. Well, I've got a Matt Freeman Squire Precision (white) and a Westone Thunder III in cherry going up for sale somewhere if that would class as redemption? 😎🤞
  18. Hey all, Just bought a couple of boards off Jake, items as described, good clear comms, the postage was arranged quickly and they were well packaged. Thank you and would happily deal with again. Peace.
  19. Who knew? Interesting stuff.😊
  20. With so many fallen, how about a wildcard for re-entry?
  21. I'd also look for a used TC Electronic BG250 combo. They definitely punch well above their weight. The 2x10 is the best of the bunch, but the 15 and 12 are very capable in a band situation too.
  22. Another Basschat bargain!
  23. Surprising myself in that I haven't put my own Ric in this forum. So here is a picture of it, on the event of getting a new strap after my birthday (most of my basses have their own strap) I have just redone the nut, which was too high and fitted lighter strings, which meant I didn't have to adjust the neck as it has brought the action down. I probably do need to do the intonation, but this will be coming with me for a gig tomorrow. Am toying with the idea of putting a dual gang pot in place of the volume to give me a mix of the two pickups.
