  1. How about this? Cool as....., and 350w of plug and go groove! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/312740-fender-tv-bassman-duo-ten-350w-combo-amazing-vintage-loveliness/page__pid__3381773#entry3381773 Shameless plug, but sounds just what you're after. Rick
  2. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1506881561' post='3381761'] Wow, that really looks the part! PS: I use CubeUpload for pics since PhotoBucket went tits-up, it's really simple: [url="https://cubeupload.com/welcome"]https://cubeupload.com/welcome[/url] [/quote] Thanks Mark, sounds easier, will give it a look. Appreciate the help! Hopefully the pics are visible now? Rick
  3. That's how i used to do it, those links aren't visible anymore, it just has one copy link, and it doesn't work, it isn't even visible. If i could post pics, I'd show you the screen I have, and yes, I'm using a PC. Appreciate the help, but only basschat seems to have this complex way of posting pics. Seems you have to right click the picture on imgur now, for the links drop box to appear. It was always as the screen shot shown above, now you have to guess yourself where everything is. Think they call it progress or improvement....
  4. What can I say, it doesn't work, it says its not supported? The link options quoted on the basschat help page aren't there any more, so they said to use the direct link, which I tried. It seems I'm not alone though. There was a time when every post had pics, now its probably 20%.
  5. [b][size=5][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Reduced to sell.[/font][/size][/b] [b][size=5][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Now £395[/font][/size][/b] [b][size=5][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Fender TV Bassman, Duo-Ten 350w tweed combo[/font][/size][/b] This amp has been my main playing amp for a few years, and most of the relic wear is genuine road wear. Huge sound, very loud, as you'd expect. Vintage tones. If you want a vintage style look, with modern reliability and features, in a compact combo, with plenty of headroom, then you wont get any better than this. I still dont understand why Fender only made these briefly? Not keen on posting, so collection only initially, trial welcome. Midlands based, so in the middle of everywhere! These are rare anywhere, especially in the UK, the only other I've seen is over £1300: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Bassman-TV-Duo-Ten-Type-PR-811-350W-2x10-Bass-Combo-Amplifier-Tweed-/253127657817?epid=1024558234&hash=item3aef958959:g:MH8AAOSwkRJZqOVL"]http://www.ebay.co.u...H8AAOSwkRJZqOVL[/url] Grab a bargain! Here's the spec, the pics tell the rest. Link to Pics here, not sure if they are showing on the ad below?; [url="https://imgur.com/a/S2GBO"]https://imgur.com/a/S2GBO[/url] (PM me your email address for pics if that doesnt work!) By the way, the '52 TV bassman in the pic, is just to show the size of it.

With a unique look that is unmistakably Fender, Bassman TV amps are sure to class up any stage, cutting through the mix and the monotony of a world full of black boxes. [/b][/size][/font][/center] [center][font=comic sans ms,cursive][size=4][color=#000000][b]The tube preamp is classy and simple, with black chicken head knobs sitting on top of a chrome chassis. It feels like looking down at the dashboard of your favorite muscle car, while the red jewel light glows, signifying "I'm ready to jam." Two instrument inputs provide both a normal and a padded input stage, accommodating basses of various output levels. But don't be afraid to lean into it. The more you push this Fender bass amp, the more it pushes back.[/b][/color][/size][/font][/center] [center][font=comic sans ms,cursive][size=4][color=#000000][b]The TV DuoTen has one indispensable modern luxury”an XLR output that lets you send a direct signal to recording or live performance gear.

  6. More than happy to add to these positive comments, it was just easy, simple as that, just how it should be. Great comms, great packaging, item as described, sent super promptly. Happy days. Thank you Etienne. Deal with confidence folks. Rick
  7. Agree with comments above. Lots of white pickguards in the late 60's had pearloid backs, as they had a huge surplus of the sheet material. Most Telecaster bass's have pearloid back white guards, or did before they perished. Surplus was probably because they realised it looked awful, and didn't widen the use across the range.
  8. Loving this Luke, fantastic work, you must be chuffed so far!
  9. [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Space needed, so time to shift some bits, and make way for a new project.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]This is the last Relic project I put together.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Replica tribute to a 1966 Fender Slab Precision.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]2 piece alder slab body Finished in nitro white blonde, with vein aged checking and authentic, sympathetic wear, no belt sander job here. Original template, router hump etc.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Neck is a new, genuine Fender maple-cap neck, this has also been aged, amber tinted, rolled fingerboard, frets dressed, these maple-cap necks are near impossible to find or have made for you. It has a period correct ’66 decal applied, and heel date (Note: The heel date will be removed and replaced with etched ‘REPLICA’ prior to sale. Handmade genuine aged bone nut. Looks every bit original.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Reproduction ‘F’ neckplate with ’66 date (May be replaced for sale)[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Seymour Duncan, Steve Harris pups in to a solder less wiring harness with PIO Russian caps, lots of growl.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Vintage style aged threaded bridge unit.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Black, white bevel 3ply pickguard[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Currently fitted with original 1966 tuners, but price includes genuine Fender reissue vintage style reverse klusons, with long stems, as I will retain the original set[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Aged chrome covers and thumbrest complete the look.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]No case, its currently in an original 66 black tolex case, that may be sold separately.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Prefer in-hand inspection, rather than shipping, but contact me by PM with any queries regarding that.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]All in all, an excellent replica bass, looks, feels, and sounds the part. Better than any others I’ve seen, and certainly more accurate. Pricing is not easy, as the parts alone add up to quite a bit, let alone the time spent in ageing it all. I know the price of Limelights, but this certainly isn’t one of those. I also know the price of Bravewoods, and it isn’t one of those either (they are excellent, although the replica he made many years ago didn’t have a maple-cap neck), so I figure a price in the middle of those two would be sensible, so that’s what I’ve done. Any comments on price, or sensible offers, drop me a PM.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]If it doesn’t sell, it’ll go in the loft for resurrection in another few years.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]PX wise?, not really looking for anything, and need space, but a first series export ’57 JV P would be a possible exception.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Can take more pics if necessary, just ask.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Get that 'Live at Leeds' look and feel, without the £25k price tag in fact for the price of a MIM!![/font][/size][/font][/color]
  10. Price drop bump. Lots of interest, lots of people ignoring my replies. Reduced for quick, genuine sale, an absolute steal.
  11. [quote name='slap_it_hard' timestamp='1498298909' post='3323687'] Interest in a 1960s East German ply bass in awesome condition,no breaks ever, Ebony fingerboard &amp; cash my way? [/quote] Not sure what that is, but looking for a sale. Thanks for the interest.
  12. Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I've now done. I now need to decide if I sell as it is, or spend a bit to restore, and then sell for much more?
