Okay, how heavy is this beast, please? I hear they are a bit on the beefy side -
Bought a headphone amp from Ade. No problems or issues, good packing, prompt delivery. I'd happily deal with Ade again. Thanks

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1323027781' post='1458464'] Yes it was [/quote] Okay, let me rephrase that - you guys were excellent Venue was Blandford Corn Exchange, summer of 1980 or '81? The frontman had yellow hair (not blond), really tight-curled. Very, very exotic-looking, in that place and time - at least to me, I was young and innocent. I vaguely remember wondering at the time why the bass player sounded so English, or maybe so not-South-African.

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1322762358' post='1455615'] Welcome mate. I am in Dorset so not so far from you. I played with some guys from SA way back in the 80s. They'd basically escaped the regime and were political exiles. The BBC did a documentary on them, a programme called "Open Space". Anyway i got really excited and when the BBC turned up they didn't want to feature me as i was English Anyway, enjoy the site its informative, funny and annoying all at the same time. [/quote] Was that band called Day One? I saw them in Blandford, they were excellent.

Welcome I'm (also) in Dorset.

Welcome Might be worth pointing out, you will get a lot of people asking "where are you?" in your For Sale threads, so you might want to put a location in your profile. Good luck!

Welcome Are the Pelham Blue EB-0s easy to find? I've never tried (been put off by the comments about mudbuckers) but I have the impression they're not common.

It's not that I don't want it, it's that I prefer being able to pay the mortgage...

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' timestamp='1322148557' post='1447240'] It looks like it has a tight radius on the fingerboard which is carried over to those lovely chunky pickups, so I wonder whether is has some kind of eub capability - or is maybe designed to be bowable. [/quote] That might also explain the rather odd position of the jack socket.

And to my great surprise, fernandobicho is also selling one here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/160896-kramer-the-duke-80s-vintage-aluminiun-neck-bass/ Anyone inspired by his thread could do worse than to have a look at a cheaper alternative

Being sold by someone calling himself ninebobnote, no less. Nothing to be wary of there

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1321897870' post='1444205'] Can you lot get some avatar pics up, please? It's like all these posts are from somebody with a disturbing identity disorder. [/quote] What do you mean, "like"?

My thought was that 2x18 didn't want to mess about with couriers for a bass this cheap. I could be wrong

Problem is, I'm still four hours away... Poole, in Dorset.
