It's not only that, The Big Al might be the most versatile bass ever made!!

Absolutely @Mcgiver69!

Anyone who isn’t familiar with the model should check out the video above!

Sweet jeesus! If there's a better bass this year on this forum for less than a grand I'll eat my hat! Somebody buy this before I start getting bad thoughts... 

Thanks @mingsta, it’s a great bass!

My favourite album. I listened to it twice a day as a teenager when it came out both LP and tape. I still own the Live After Death VHS.

It is 'The' album that made me play bass. Got a walking Edddie too ? ( no, I'm not looking for a part time job).

Yes we have a tall friend who comes out dressed as a mummy Eddie 😃

It’s a great album for sure!

Did you break into Maiden's wardrobe? I've been a Maiden fan for 30+ years and play Maiden songs on my Steve Harris p bass. Lots of respect for you guys for  wearing all that gear. I could not do it no matter what.

😆

For me that’s all part of the fun!

It helps me get into character too.

We’re trying to recreate the ‘Live After Death/World Slavery’  tour with as much detail as we can hence the getup.

I joined a startup Iron Maiden tribute last year with little to no knowledge of the band’s music.

I've really enjoyed the process of learning the material and getting the show together and have also gained massive respect for Steve Harris!

I bought a bass from Alex and he was a pleasure to deal with!

Very easy sale and it was packed carefully for shipping.

Hi,
Do you have any luck with this?
I've used a Markbass CMD 121 for years and this has happened to mine twice necessitating in a new (recon) power board.
I got the parts from Real Electronics.

Hope this helps!

Hi, do you still have this?
If so, what is the overall lengh?
Thanks,

Thanks Dan,
Looking forward to giving it a good run out on Saturday.

I've just bought a Genz Benz cabinet from Mark.
Great guy to deal with and very fair.
He was extremely helpful when it came to organise getting this rather bulky item shipped across the Irish Sea.
It arrived quickly and in perfect condition thanks to being packed really well.
Top lad! Thanks Mark.

Thanks Dan!

Whereabouts are you Shaun?

Barefaced Retro Two10 available as 4 ohm.
What's the reason you want a 4 ohm 2x10?

I too have been using a Hercules stand for years, despite it looking a bit awkward it grips the bass well and the small size is great.

A word of warning though, the pivot of each arm that hold the bass on mine have been exposed and the hard tips have destroyed the finish on either side of the strap button on the back of my basses!

I'm not too precious about instruments that are used a lot but this was annoying when I eventually noticed it.
