+1 for OBBM. Bought a couple of speaker cables from him a month or so ago. Immense quality gear at amazing prices.

Bought Grahame's Fretless Stagg as a little side project Easy transaction with great comms Deal with him in complete confidence Cheers Grahame

Behold the monstrosity that was [url="http://www.watkinsguitars.co.uk/basses.htm"]My First Bass![/url] Old man bought it off a friend for me in 1982/3. It was strung with four different strings (including one blue nylon thing) and played like sh*te! I ended up painting it black with some Dulux gloss.

All my attachments were well under the recommended 500kb but I've deleted a few that were no longer relevant. "[i]Mony a mickle maks a muckle[/i]" as my granny used to say!

Just took delivery of Seni's Dunlop 105Q Bass Wah. Really nice price for a really nice pedal from a really nice bloke. Deal with him in confidence!

Not much of a MM fan but I agree with Moos3h; that IS lovely! The only thing ruining it for me is that dreadful clear PG. First thing I'd do if I won the bass would be to remove said PG and set fire to it so no-one else could defile such a nice looking instrument with it! PS - Jazz Bass is really nice as well. I take it this person likes their basses to look natural then?

The Series 6 had the GP12 with the one red EQ slider specifically for 5 string basses, didn't it? Never had a chance to try one of those models although I seem to recall they got rave reviews at the time

[quote name='Delberthot' post='1261855' date='Jun 8 2011, 09:09 PM']I forgot about the Mk V 1518 cab... ...I was offered an obscene amount of money for it and away it went[/quote] I tried to get rid of one of my 1518's on here as spares/repair (voice coil had finally given up the ghost after 20odd years) and couldn't shift it for love nor money! I decided to keep it and now have a Fane Axiom 15-300B on order from Blue Aran.

I'm still using the old TE MKV stuff. I have a MKV AH150 which I've owned since 1986 (bought together with a 1048) and as Delberthot says it's an absolute cracking head. I totally refuse to part with it even though I recently purchased a MKV AH250 from a fellow BC'er. I just love the old Trace stuff; built like tanks and the sound is second to none. I currently own the two MKV heads along with two MKV 1518's and a MKV 1048 and I can only see me adding to the gear I have. And yes, Chris Thorneybank is your man for all things Trace!

Bought a neck plate & screws for a wee project I have going. Great communications from start to finish making this a perfect transaction. Deal with Mel in confidence cos she's a top lass!

OK, my avatar is my custom 1987-8 Larkin Recter Fretless 4B: Mahogany body and neck, Irish Walnut veneer with matching headstock, Ebony lined board, Schaller hardware, Kent Armstrong humbuckers, 3band active eq (can't remember what make the preamp is) currently strung with Rotosound 55's. Attached pic is a before/after of my modified Squier Vintage Modified fretless: Gotoh 301, fake grounding strip, tort pg, Fender pull-bar, Fender pup cover, Fender style Jazz Bass knobs, new switchcraft & CTS electrics with an old .05 cap and wired for series/parallel. Currently strung with Rotosound 66's. [attachment=80254:Fretless...ison_001.JPG] I'll post more pics if anyone's interested. [i]I rather like fretless basses! [/i]

Man that bass if effin' tasty! Never mind waiting a few months, get out and gig the damned thing!

[quote name='neepheid' post='1228902' date='May 12 2011, 03:04 PM']Is it ok to dislike them both equally? [/quote] + 1 Although if I HAD to pick one on pain of death it would have to be the blue one. IMHO they're both dreadful but the red one is waaaaaay worse. Again, MHO. Each to their own etc!

Thanks Hillbilly, very informative

Either Rotosound Nickel 66's or their Solo Bass 55's

No-one out there in BC land has any experience of drilling into an ebanol board?

Just bought a Trace Elliot MKV AH250 from Tony. What can I say - what a fantastic guy! He was thoroughly helpful and answered all my questions promptly and honestly and even went as far as organising Parcelforce for the pick-up & delivery! When it arrived yesterday the amp was really well packaged and in immaculate condition. Highly recommended. Cheers Tony, was a pleasure doing business! Ian
