Can you provide more details on the M5-2000 machine heads? I can't find them on the Schaller website so assume they're an older/vintage type. Can you let me know the weight per tuner in gms, the outside diameter of the bushing (ie. the required headstock hole size), and the gear ratio. Thanks

Hi, I’m not sure what the gear ratio is - I’ll try to find out. Each tuner weighs 61g and the bushing outside diameter is 12mm. Cheers

2. Woody - Rickenbacker 4004-L5, maybe Sei Flamboyant, Same old basschat 12" with some amp, other stuff TBC

3. Pinball (tbc) - some interesting basses

Plus whatever I might be selling at the time.

6. Rosie - likely I'll bring my upright, set up for bluegrass/folk/jazz if anyone's not played upright before and fancies a go

7. Phil - BassChat cabs, maybe some sort of shootout?

8. MikeD - Laney Digbeth, Zilla 212, Dingwall Combusion, Revelation PJ, pedals, try to finish home made bass🤞🤞🤞🤞

Don't worry guys, Mrs. Scrumpy has got the cake requirement covered - and then there's the crumble 🙂 

CRUMBLE!!!! YUM!!!

Ooh that is very nice..

Stop it - you’re only down the road!!!

Nice chap to deal with if anyone is looking at these!

Wish I had the space!!

I bought an Ashdown cab off Alex. Absolute credit to Basschat. Couldn’t have been more helpful - even dropped the cab off at a friend’s house near a gig he was playing, which saved me a couple of hours of driving.

Thanks again Alex

Stingray 4 would definitely be of interest.

PM’d re cab

Whereabouts does it need to be collected from?

TC BQ250 bass amp. Only used for a few hours of use whilst I was getting another amp fixed. Has a small mark on top whilst it was clamped into a TC combo cab (see other listing).

Prefer collection but could post it necessary.

I’ve got a TC RS210c 2x10 cab for sale. This is the cab used for the TC RS combos. The shelf is also the right size for a Markbass head. Decent condition - a few scapes in the bottom as to be expected. Comes with a cover and the trolley handle. 
 

I also have a TC BG250 head for sale separately.

Trade wise, I’m looking for a 4x10 cab - thinking Ashdown ABM but not too fussed.
 

Collection from Tewkesbury as I don’t have anything to ship it in

How is this one going @Jabba_the_gut?

Slowly!!!😆

Bought a cab off Paul. Dead easy, well packaged for shipping and exactly as described when I received it.  Really helpful chap and great communication.

Highly recommended.

Cheers

Yes!  @Jabba_the_gut is building again!!!  Absolutely love that 👍

Should look nice when fully sanded and finished 

Got a Boss BR1180 that doesn’t work. Includes the manual and a Sky power supply. The backlight on the display lights up but no-one is home…..

Free to anyone for postage cost.

Cheers

I'm not a fan of the one-string bridges.

I haven’t tried them before so will see what they are like. I have made a jig to install them so they are equal distance apart - certainly easier to install the Hipshot style bridge!

There’s a guy called Chris Seldon who makes stunning basses - look him up. I really like the shape of them and thought it would be a good shape for a headless.  I saw someone else make a patchwork top so I thought that might would be a good use of all the off cuts I have.

I’m trying two different headless bridges on these builds - I’ll let you know what they’re like when I get a bit further on.
