    Which ones did you go for?

    I’ve not heard of these before but I’m quite into the addition of the wheels… 🤔

    @DDRDave! Fancy seeing you here! Hope you’re well mate. Loooong time no see… Looks like the RB bags are pretty easy to get now. Not sure I’ll ever be brave enough to stick a bass in the hold in a gigbag though. Big respect to you for going for it. Maybe one of these posh bags will convince me too. Have you carted about two basses a lot? What’s the weight like in the Mono?

    I know this is a really old thread but thought it was worth asking… Has anyone tried the Reunion Blues Continental Voyager dual bass bag? Any comparisons with the Mono M80 dual bag regarding relative weight, size etc? Not looking for an every day bag, but in certain situations where I need to lug two electrics plus an upright/small amp on the tube I’m after possible solutions. Two electric gigbags is usually enough to throw the balance off…

    Price drop bump… Now £1200 collected

    Selling my MXR M81 Bass Preamp. Lovely bit of kit but I used it very rarely; just for some home recording. It’s in excellent condition, good as new really. Has Velcro on the bottom and miraculously I still have the little stick on rubber feet if you like that sort of thing. No box but will be packed safely if you need it posting. Can be collected from Peckham SE15 or happy to post it (UK only) for £10

    As many have said here already you’d really need to go to visit either The Gallery or Bass Direct. They’re the only places where you can realistically try a wide variety of instruments at all price points; both new and used. Seeking out various branches of PMT or Guitar Guitar would not prove particularly fruitful as neither of those chains stock that many basses and would only cover and handful of brands. If it were me I’d be straight down to The Gallery. Even all the way from Leicester. It’d be well worth the extra time

    I’d agree with @bremen. Instant extra bite and you don’t have to butcher your bass. Plus you can easily swap back to the flats when you do have your favourite amp setup.

    This whole album by The Cinematic Orchestra has some amazing upright bass playing by Phil France. Over twenty years ago now but still sounds fresh

    I’ll DM you his number right now 😎

    Not sure where you’re based but I’ve been to the guy at JPF Amps in Denmark Street (same workshop as Stairway To Kevin). I can DM you his number if you’re in London. He’s fixed a couple of misbehaving pedals for me in the past.

    Following this thread with great interest 🕵🏻‍♂️ Had a quick Google and it looks like he’s possibly a trumpet player from Atlanta. Why he’s churning out all that tat at such a rate is quite beyond me though. The videos are clearly a load of stock footage clips cobbled together. I’m sure if you really put your mind to it you could run off a stack of tunes exactly like this in a fairly short space of time as they’re all pretty generic, but what would be the end goal? Really not sure who this music is for??

    @richh I’d imagine most good bows hold their value pretty well as long as they’re well-maintained. Antique bows will only go up in value…

    Only happened a couple of times but one of them was quite a big show and it made life rather awkward! 😬

    I used to have a PF500 which sounded great. The only issue was if I pushed it too hard it would go into some kind of standby mode, so I’d be a little cautious going with a less powerful version; especially if it’s driving two cabinets.

    These as fantastic basses. GLWTS 👍

    Having just switched from the CMD121P+NY121 to the newer MB58r cabs I can confirm they are significantly deeper! What used to fit easy in the car behind my upright bass is now a bit of a squeeze… sounds great though
  21. simonlittle
    @beanydcThese are the ones I use. Not sure whether they make this version specifically anymore but they’re great https://levysleathers.com/collections/leather-guitar-straps/products/signature-tri-glide-suede-series

    I’ve always used all-suede straps on all my basses as it sticks to your clothes and never slips. Also can help with neck dive. Levy’s used to make some great ones.

    Lovely looking bass. GLWTS 👍

    I’m probably going to regret this, but I think it’s time to let this one go. This is the first Sandberg bass I bought. It was my main bass for a good few years and I did at least two tours with The Divine Comedy on it. It’s a TM4 in a gorgeous blackburst finish, and it’s one of the original jazz bass-style shapes from 2006, before they changed to the current design. It has a pau ferro fingerboard with no inlays, Delano pickups and the original preamp. Comes with the original Sandberg gig bag which is looking a bit tatty on the front (🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛) but is still perfectly serviceable. It sounds absolutely glorious and plays like butter. I usually played it in passive mode but the active preamp is excellent. There is a scratch on the back which you can see in the photos and a little tiny dent in the back of the neck which was never an issue. Apart from that it’s in fantastic condition for an 18 year old bass. The one downside is the weight. It’s pretty hefty. My luggage scales bring it somewhere between 4.75-5kg. Unfortunately my back doesn’t agree with me playing long shows with this bass anymore. My number one bass nowadays is a masterpiece aged TM4 that I had built for me a few years ago and that bass essentially usurped this one when it arrived so sadly it isn’t getting played anymore. You can hear/watch this bass in action! We did a very strange gig on French TV back in 2019 where we played the whole of the (then) new album Office Politics in an office. The bass comes though great in the recording… Not looking for any trades thanks. Collection from Peckham SE15 is preferred so you can try it out. Could also meet up somewhere in London if that helps. I don’t fancy posting it I’m afraid. Cheers! Simon

    Oops… forgot the weight! According to my luggage scales this weighs about 3.8kg ⚖️
