  1. That's quite a catchy wee song. Liking the bass too altho a bit too heavy on the fuzz for me. Dave
  2. The bass players 2 mins of stardom every night I'm now gonna have to youtube that song to hear the solo you're talking about Have you ever made a mistake in it tho ? Dave
  3. So she doesn't know about them all then ???
  4. That's just not fair on the rest of us Cetera. I think you distribute some of these to me for safe keeping. Dave
  5. Amp now sold
  6. Looks like a 2nd compartment above the control access panel. Not sure which is which tho but now i'm even more curious. Certainly a stunning bass. Dave
  7. Only one bass makes a WAL.
  8. Bit less than i paid for it plus i've just had the mute switch replaced and basic service completed 3 weeks ago. I like to know all is ok before i sell something. Saving for a Mesa Subway rig so all unused gear needs to go. Dave
  9. Its a Sunday afternoon and you're on the vino
  10. The guy that was giving me lessons was a guitarist right enough so probably a lot easier on a guitar. I could never manage it properly altho i still try every now and again just for fun.
  11. And at such a sensible price too I think i still have the original receipt for this. Dave
  12. Oddly enough someone else was looking for the combo but at this stage i would prefer to sell the rig as a unit. Also the distance will be an issue as i'm not prepared to post. I don't have the original boxes and i don't trust courier services. Sorry Dave
  13. I took lessons for 12-18mths if i remember right. The hardest part for me was first finger first fret 2nd finger 2nd fret thing. I was only 16 and just found the stretch difficult at top of the neck. Time-keeping was something i worked at to make sure i could hold the beat even if drummer was not great and at that tender age most musicians i knew were more or less beginners like me. Then taking basic songs (my first was Little Old Wine Drinker Me) and adapting what i learned to try and play Deep Purple songs Dave
  14. Thanks Kevvo66 Value for money the Peavey basses are hard to beat. No box or case so my apologies. Bit too far to drive for a meet up too Dave
  15. You just can't get past this female drummer Time to let it go. You're verging on stalker now. Dave
  16. Only just posted the ad yesterday but will keep you in mind. It is also advertised elsewhere. Dave
  17. If any trusted fellow BC'ers in your area are heading up North and be willing to pick this up and meet me halfway somewhere i would def take this. This amp is exactly what i'm looking for at the moment. Dave
  18. At the moment i would prefer to keep as a matched pair as i believe the single cab would be difficult to shift on its own. The combo def sounds better with the ext cab tho. Its not the volume just the "stage presence" you get whether that's because the combo speaker is closer to my ears or its simply pushing more air but it def makes a difference when using both. Dave
  19. Thankerton, Biggar near Lanark in Central belt of Scotland.

  21. Ideal practice rig with the well known Trace Elliot 150W amp head. Bought this to use in a small rehearsal room with previous band who's bass player was selling before moving to NZ. The head has a few scuffs on the covering but works fine. Just had the mute switch replaced and amp serviced at GSE in Glasgow. The 210 cab was originally a 410 that the guy had found with no speakers so he cut down to a 210 and fitted a couple of spare Trace speakers. He was a TE geek and had numerous TE gear. He's done a reasonable job and it looks ok to me for what i needed at the time. Its a 4 ohms cab and would be ideal at home for practicing or maybe for smaller venues. Cab has a few scuffs as well but considering their age not too bad hence the lower price tag for them. COLLECTION ONLY or happy to meet if within a reasonable distance
  22. Ampeg SVT4 Pro amp has a tube pre-amp with a STEREO Mosfet power stage. Great condition all round. Just had the built in compressor repaired and full service at GSE in Glasgow. Amp was originally a US amp with exyernal 110V transformer. I had it converted at GSE in Glasgow to 230V few yrs ago. Was fitted with recommended tubes from Watford Valves last year and hasn't been used much since. GSE do all my amp servicing and repairs. Amp has the standard Ampeg EQ along with the switchable Graphic EQ. Has a nice warm tube sound and a massive stage presence. Very adaptable head can be used in full stereo or mono-bridged. I will supply the specially made "bridged" cable which i had custom made by OBBM. Has standard jacks or speakon connectors altho Bridged output is only Speakon. You can do to many variations on the back of this amp to list. Manual is available on-line or i will provide with the amp. COLLECTION ONLY or happy to meet if within a reasonable distance. I can supply a new 3U rack case that i have spare with the amp if required.
  23. Bought this rig new from Bass Direct approx 3-4yrs ago. Its been used on 2 gigs and a couple of rehearsals with different style bands. Rig is in "As New" condition. Extremely lightweight and verstaile rig. I've never had a bad sound from this rig and have had nice comments when used from both audience and sound guys on those rare occasions. It comes with custom padded covers made by HOTCOVERS. Markbass gear is reliable, well built and simply great tone no matter what style you play. Amp is 350W at 8 ohms and 500W at 4ohms. I've never had this amp at more than 9-10 o'clock on the master Volume. These are loud amps / rigs. I've found they work very well in large band situations especially with keys as they seem to cut thru the mix better than any other rig i've used over the years. COLLECTION ONLY or happy to meet if within a reasonable distance
  24. Just listened to the Lemon Twigs and thought they were pretty good to be honest. Not seen them before.
