  1. Past hour
  2. Wow, looking at the dates bandied around my Kestrel could have been a ‘prototype’ for the model produced under that name? I know it was one of the 1st 100 instruments he made (dated 1981). Sports the single Kent Armstrong & still sounds amazing! Has this ‘oink’ I’ve not heard on another bass. With the through neck I can’t get the action as low as I’d like but I’m not usually up the dusty end!
  3. I can't believe it's not sold. A beautiful vintage bass with case...what's not to like. I have 6 basses that l gig and alternate on a regular basis, but if l could warrant spending on another bass l would definitely buy this and just hang it on the wall and admire it like an expensive painting while sipping on a malt whisky....apologies in advance for the ramble l'll get my coat.... Glwts bud.
  4. Agreed @BassAdder60 I keep saying I find the TE1200 an excellent “pedal platform”. The core tone is superb but if you want grit or anything else, the amp just soaks it up and makes it sound better. A really impressive noise machine 😎
  5. You can buy one direct from the manufacturer at: https://michalik.cz/bp-4
  6. IMHO Combo speaker sections tend to be a compromise to fit into the combo format. you'd be far better off buying a proper well designed speaker cabinet.
  7. Lovely 2010 Bryant handmade British double bass. This is one of his top models and thus more costly than his other models. Serial number 91. John Lott flat back model 3/4 size Scale length 41.25”/105cm Back wood English Sycamore. Front wood is medium grained Alpine spruce. Neck is high grade Ebony (as are the nut and tailpiece). Beautiful tuning machines (Baker Model) and tail-pin complete this lovely instrument. It’s in great condition and has been well looked after/maintained/set up by the great Laurence Dixon. He put some lovey ebony ‘feet’ on the treble side to help prevent damaging the instrument when it’s laid on the side. Strings are lightly used D’Addario Zyex. The instrument is in Aylesbury, Bucks, UK. Feel free to ask for any further info.
  8. Personally I wouldn't bother. Old school 15's (Ashdown/Trace/Peavey etc) can be had cheap, and would be more sellable than something that's been hacked about. Just my opinion...
  9. I've just realised I neglected to upload a photo of the face of the headstock 🤦🏻‍♂️
  10. Selling all my pedals. I decided to switch to Zoom B6. All prices include postage within the mainland UK. I will also create separate topics for the 2 pedalboards (NUX Bumblebee and Temple Audio).

  11. 8lbs - nice and light and yes it’s a cracker
  12. I was listening to a few vol beat albums a few years ago . Something was missing ...guitar solos ! I don't know if anyone would know their stuff in the dog and duck etc . Just a thought ..
  13. For me I thinks it’s several things on the TE1200 that offer a better sounding amp The bass EQ frequency values are not as low as say Ampeg and Ashdown and this seems to make it less “ wooly” or “ dark” sounding as it’s 70hz. The dual compressors are excellent and the clean headroom is fantastic. I think the TE1200 can get close to the Ashdown or Ampeg sound especially with a pedal in front but its fair to say they can’t near the sound of the TE1200 and that’s what surprised me, a noticeable clarity and great sounding amp
  14. 1/2" Hipshot Ultralite Licensed clover tuners in shiny chrome. 4 x bass side 1 x treble side i.e. for a right-handed five-string bass with the common 4+1 tuner configuration. All dimensions on Hipshot's webpage, here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1574/0577/files/206K.PDF?147414096911308745 Original screws slightly worn, so new replacements included (non-Hipshot). £90 including postage. I'd split at £18 each + postage at cost, if I have buyers lined up for all five.
  15. That's a very good point, I was thinking, since I have room in the bottom of the bass body, to move the neck a bit lower so the pickup and the bridge in order to have more body wood for the neck?
  16. Can't help but be disappointed that the two new products were just revamps! Find it a bit odd they bigged it up...
  17. Just bought some strings off David. Easy deal and quick delivery. Excellent thank you.👍
  18. Today
  19. Bass The World Review He seems to think it’s good!

  21. Cool! Puts me in mind of these:
  22. Back to back gigs for my lot, Tore Down. Having skipped a month we are back at the Shamrock in Ipswich for our residency tomorrow. Then Saturday, 2 sets during the day starting at 11am we are playing at Black Bear Harley-Davidson in Newmarket. They are holding a birthday bash all day and asked us to play, which was nice. Free entry and some food, I believe.
