  1. Yeah, I noticed this last night. It was the same thing with EBS a few years back..... fads in gear come and go..... the EBS stuff had some nice character though. Never liked Markbass myself (YMMV) so doesn't bother me. I predict the same for Darkglass in a year or two....
  2. Great band. We had Richard Searle as our guest at the Basschat SE England Bass Bash last year - fantastic player! Saw them in Guildford last year and will hopefully see them again in Horsham, Surrey shortly... :)
  3. Eric Carr of KISS. I grew up loving KISS and Eric looked amazing and pounded those drums like an animal. Most of all though - he was the loveliest guy you could hope to meet. I was lucky enough to do so in 1990 when I went to the States and saw (what were to be) his last 3 shows ever.... such a friendly, genuine and down to earth chap :( What made it worse was he died on the same day as Freddie Mercury so his passing was all but drowned out in the media....
  4. Cheers! Yep, upper fret access is limited - but hey - it's a thunderbird!! Wear it low and grind out the grooves....who needs the dusty end?!
  5. Notable deaths thread
  6. @therealting - cabs are standard 4x12 cab size (approx 32" wide/high by ?5 or 6" deep) and not heavy (sorry - can't get to weigh them at present as they are at storage). Obviously they are just the very front of Marshall cabs, so no speaker, magnet or side/back of cabinet weight to worry about! Heads are approx 29.5" wide and 11.5" high. Again, only approx 4" deep....
  7. Want a full size fake Marshall stack or 2 fake half stacks for your stage show? Or simply want them to decorate your house or studio? Then here they are....! These are basically just the genuine cut-off fronts of empty heads and cabs - used on Marshall trade stands and NOT available for public purchase! They look GREAT onstage and fill empty/awkward stage spaces with an authentic rock/punk classic visual! Cash on collection from Stoneleigh near Epsom, Surrey. Please see my extensive positive feedback thread for assurance of a clean, honest transaction.
  8. Professional heavy duty flightcase guitar/bass rack stand for 6 instruments. Made by Amptown Cases. In good solid condition and ideal for touring band.

  12. Great - the positioning of the Dunlop strap locks (and the small headstock) means it balances nicely!
  13. Just arrived this weekend after a year long wait since ordering..... a fantastic flipflop blue/purple Dingwall Dbird Standard! Loving it.... particularly the sound with all 3 pickups on!

  21. Best all round cab ever for tone, power, weight and value for money..... GLWTS!
  22. I LOVE this bass...... but need to move it on to clear some funds for a possible upcoming purchase. I'll be sad to see it go as it is a FANTASTIC, high quality and incredible value for money bass with a monstrous selection of tones on board.... but needs be.... Often compared to basses 3 or 4 times it's price and always comes out on top! Body Material : North American Alder which is known for its strong clear full-bodied sound, with beefy mids and excellent lows - perfect for the traditional jazz bass sound. Neck Material : 1 Piece Hardmaple Neck Shape : C-Shape Scale : 34” Fingerboard : Rosewood Fingerboard Radius : 7’25” Frets : Medium Small, 20 Frets String Nut : Natural Bone 38mm width - considered to deliver more balanced, clearer and smoother tone than plastic or eurite material Binding : 1 ply Ivory Inlay : WH Pearloid Block Neck Joint : 4 Bolt Steel Square Plate Pickups : Marcus Super Jazz pickup set made with US fomvar coil, fibre bobbin and alnico 5 magnets in order to reproduce the traditional vintage jazz bass sound. Electronics : 18V Marcus Heritage 3 Band Preamp with Middle Frequency Control and active/passive switch Controls : Volume / Tone (Dual Pot) | Pickup Blender | Treble | Middle / Middle Frequency (Dual Pot) | Bass, Mini Toggle (Active / Passive ) Bridge : Heavy Mass Standard with string-thru-body capability Tuning Gear : Premium Open-Gear Hardware Finish : Chrome Pickguard : Tortoise Condition is excellent/mint minus as it's really only had home/studio use. Controls are all solid and reactive, though vol/tone pot feels a little looser than the rest. Currently strung with 45-105 roundwounds. Payment by Cash (on collection), Bank Transfer or Paypal (you pay any/all fees). I can meet/deliver within the South East for agreed fuel cost or can courier at cost to be agreed with buyer. Please see my extensive feedback for assurance of a clean, honest transaction. Thanks!
