  1. Hi, Been using TH500 for a couple of months. No noticeable click on mute. Good wishes, Paul.
  2. I've been using a pair of SL112's with the TH500 amp. They are a great combination. Playing with drums and 2 guitarists who play loud and I can keep up with them easily. What I find is important is to place the cabs on something to raise them up a little, in my case a flightcase. Also I make sure they are not too close to the wall in order to give the ports space to do their thing. Ultimately what I like about the set up is the sound quality. Plenty of variation is available on the amp in terms of tone and the speakers seem to handle it all well. I also use an Aguilar compressor pedal to good effect. Certainly worth checking out.

  3. Was using light weight Markbass 4 x 10 and 2 x 10 for the last 5 years, and although lightweight, I still found the 4 x 10 difficult to lift, though have been very happy with the sound. Recently I changed to Aguilar. The TH500 amp weighing a mere 4lb and pumping out 500 watts of superb sound coupled with 2 SL112 cabinets. The cabs weigh a mere 25lb and handle 250 watts each. Last weekend I had the chance to really see what they could do. I was amazed at their sound quality running the amp at about 10 oclock on the master vol and competing well with 2 guitarists and drums. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you are looking for seriously super light weight cabs that really do handle the lows, mids, and hi's, check out the SL112. I guess the only drawback for some is: as a stack they, together with the tiny amp do look rather diminutive, but people will be amazed at the sound emanating from such a small set up........ cool eh! And at a push you could trave to a gig by bus...... well perhaps not. ATB, Paul.
  4. Five piece Classic Rock band Oi Oi Savaloy, based around Hornchurch Essex area will play The Litten Tree in Brentwood High Street on Thursday 15th September 2011 on stage around 8.30pm. So if you're into classic rock from the 60's, 70's and later, come down for a good night. See us on Facebook.

  6. Dealt with Chris recently. He's a great guy, and a pleasure to do business with, highly recommended.
  7. Mine's an "83 Fullerton Factory '62 Jazz Reissue with stacked pots. As you can see its very well played in and has a great feel to it, and great sound too. Fullerton History: (from a Fullerton Strat ad) 1982 fullerton factory fender '62 reissue stratocaster. serial #V000410, making it one of the earliest known fullerton factory pieces. neck dates to '82 although a little faded because of the pencil numbering, confirming this. for those less familiar with the fullerton factory, it was fender's first return to the pre-cbs leo fender era of making guitars. these are known as some of the best instrument fender produced since '64. built on the pre-cbs machines to vintage spec by master technicians, these instruments play like butter and sound as close as you'll get to a legitimate pre-cbs fender. not to mention, this neck is stamped "J. Torres", one of the most famous fender neck builders ever. just google "j torres fender" and see what people have to say about the quality of his necks.

  8. [quote name='Algae' post='1342843' date='Aug 17 2011, 10:33 AM']To be honest I think they are over rated. If you want a real vintage classic with extreme rarity value you need a seventies dark chocolate toffee crisp bar, the ones in the blue wrappers. Now that was something. I would swap one of my basses for one of those.[/quote] I've heard they get to sound quite brittle with age. Has anyone else experienced that?

  10. Admira by Almeria , made in Spain, about 6 years old. Cost £120. Looking for £40 ono. Condition is good, no case so local pick up. (Close to M25/A12). Ideal for someone starting guitar lessons in the new term.

  11. Hi David, Another question re the refinish. Do you know what sort of lacquer was used? Eg. was it as in the 82-85 Fullerton Reissues the nitrocelulose lacquer a la pre CBS or was it a more modern process? ATB, Paul.
  12. EBS Dynaverb, mint condition, black label, true bypass, just a few months old, used little, this unit has an amazing array of variation in sound and is truly professional. Ideal for live and recording. Original box, manual, registration card etc. RRP £199, but sell normally for for about £175. I'm looking for £90 plus post. This is a real bargain as it is effectively new!

  13. Could you supply a few photos please? Thanks, Paul.
  14. Fender Squier Telecaster cream with rosewood fingerboard; 1 year old, (though made in 2009) mint, has USA scratchplate, nicely set up with low action, no case but will be well packed for shipping. Cost 250.00 Looking for £160.00 + P & P.
  15. Hi I'm wondering why it might not be possible to post the pick up's? Thanks, Paul.
  16. Fender bass case from the '80's. It looks 30 years old (plenty of Mojo) and has a catch missing with a small gap where it was (see picture) Ideal as a cheap case to protect your bass, or if you have or are selling an 80's Fender Precision or Jazz, you can have a 'period correct case'! Looking for £55 plus P&P (about £15 with Parcelforce 48)
  17. Apart from the EBS Stanley Clarke Wah Wah Pedal (see last month's BGM) the EBS Wah One is probably the Rolls Royce of Bass Guitar Wah Wah's! Wah-wah and Volume pedal in one; select wah-wah or envelope filter character, equipped with awarded ”tubesim” circuitry, extremely wide frequency range, especially good for tone shaping and highlighting certain frequencies on a fretless for that Mick Karn sound; possible reversed pedal action. In excellent condition. Purchased new in March 2006, little used. RRP is now £180, though generally sell at about £160. Looking for £80 posted (its quite a heavy unit).

  18. Mike sold me his Aguilar Octamizer. A great guy to deal with, excellent comms, great packing, speedy and reliable delivery. Thanks Mike.
