    Is that "The Hamsters" with 'Snails Pace Slim' who used to spray his fretboard with WD40? Superb band, I saw maybe early 90's in at the General Wolf in Coventry and Lichfield Arts doing a Hendrix tribute.

    Slight digression. Is it common practice to have position marker dots on a DB?

    I'd recommend listening to the following as well as Bob Marley & the Wailers. The Wailers albums Catch A Fire, Burnin'. Bunny Wailer - Blackheart Man, Struggle Peter Tosh Legalize it, Equal Rights, Mystic Man, Bush Doctor. Burning Spear - Especially the Marcus Garvey and Hail HIM albums. Toots & The Maytals, Third World - 96 degrees in the shade. Any albums by Ijaman Levi, Lee Scratch Perry Keith Hudson, Big Youth, Early Aswad before they became more commercial, Matumbi, Steel Pulse (Handsworth Revolution) first. Ras Michael & the Sons of Negus. Sly & Robbie. There's enough to start you off there.

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of that feature. 🙂

    This bass is now sold. Not sure how I feel about letting it go as i've had the bass since 2005. Can the admin close this thread please.

    Another barefaced BBII and Reidmar 250 head. Sounds a great combination though the head sounds compressed. The amp and single cab make a nice lightweight rig. When I get some time I plan to compare the two cabs with my BTII.

    I have contacted Hypex and they confirmed that they no longer make the plate amp and are going to see if they have a service agent that I can take the plate/cab to for repair. Though it would be cool if Barefaced had one lurking in a corner cupboard in their workshop that they could sell or give me. 🙂Wishful thinking though.

    I've been in an interesting dialogue with a really nice guy originally from Sri Lanka but living in the UK he is interested in my bass but wants a specific sound from it. I have heard this sound on clips on youtube and it seems to be a common tone in popular music from that country. He sent me some video links to the sound and i've got what I think is close and sent it off to him so will see what he thinks. The bass samples he sent are all on Alembic epic basses with bass and treble so will sound different to the europa with filters. Also it requires a pick, which is not something i have needed to do before so used the 3mm Dunlop big stubby. Anyone else had to provide a specific tonal sample to a prospective buyer before they would buy your bass? edn

    For pure self indulgence I have quite fancied a 10 stringer when I was playing in a folk band, but now would have no musical opportunity to use one. Having looked at a few 8 stringers on line some have the octave strings above and some below the main strings and i wonder what is the benefit of each? My simplistic guess would be fingerstyle would be below and pick playing above.

    I bought a Porter & Davies board when the band I was in went all in ears. I did like the added depth and feel that it provided but, the band never got the IEM system set up properly and the whole experience was just frustrating. Also the board weighs more than my bass rig and is more awkward to cart about. I haven't used it in over a year now. I am considering connecting to to my surround sound sub woofer channel and popping the sofa on top and using it to add another dimension when watching films and concerts.

    Sure is a lovely looking bass. I hope you find a buyer. My first alembic was a SC signature and in recent years I got a new loom from alembic to convert it to anniversary electronics. Truly great basses.

    What can I say but agree, they sound great. A bass player whom I depped for a few times, whilst she zig-zagged around the world backpacking, has decided she is not playing bass anymore and contacted me to see if I wanted her bass rig. YEAH!!!!! Now have her Reidmar 250 and another BBII cab which are in as new condition. I remember using that amp at her band's rehearsal room and was really impressed with the quality of the sound, so I'm really glad to have it.
