  1. Such sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting Nick whilst buying a bass. He made quite an impression on me due to his enthusiasm. RIP Nick.
  2. Blackstar U700 Elite in fantastic condition. Price drop to £350 - new would set you back about £680 and this is pristine condition. Selling with additional 4 way official Blackstar footswitch. The amp came with a 2 way footswitch so now 6 way switchable giving multiple effects. I would prefer collection and I can drive approx 1hr to meet up If you would like to arrange your own courier/insurance then I will package up for collection. The labels on the footswitch will peel off. I placed these to remind me what each switch does and they are intuitive coloured coded - footswitch lights different colours to correlate with each effect. Paddy.
  3. Yep, same models as the pictures. Well I might just give it a go and if the holes line up then hopefully just a set up required. I don't think I will venture down the route of drilling and doweling but who knows. Thanks for the reply.
  4. BTW the T Rod is p bass compared to single of the 51 - so swapping pickups isn't feasible. I'm confident in doing my own set up post neck swap as well.
  5. I have a Retrovibe t rod Tele and a Squire 51 Tele. I prefer the sound of the Retrovibe but the neck of the squire. Should I be able to swap the necks without issue and what could be the possible pitfalls of this. The measurements appear the same. Technically it doesn't bother me but I don't want to waste my time. Paddy.
  6. I am crap at answering these type of questions. What I can say is I could hear my sound more evenly across the pickups. I doubt this helps!
  7. Ahhhh, I've just bought a set of these and fitted them! I had my first practice last night with them and very pleased.
  8. I just had my first practice with a band with newly fitted toneriders p bass pickups (I have always had Kiogon solderless looms fitted to my basses) and they sounded absolutely mint!
  9. A local shop 'Martins' years ago sold me a book that fell apart on a holiday to Dominican Republic (it was bloody hot and I thinks the glue couldn't handle it). On return I tried to get a refund to be told I must've dropped the book in the sea. I never went back to that shop no matter if there was something I really needed. The shop has since folded (not because of my lack of funding). Whenever I boycott a shop or online store because of bad service my wife comments 'are they the new Martins'!!!
  10. Not bass related but I was scammed with an advert on my browser for a camera. All looked absolutely genuine and I still couldn't believe a dodgy advert could appear where it did. Anyway it was an item I wanted at a too good to be true price and I was suckered in. Realised almost immediately as I didn't receive a email receipt but too late to stop the transaction even though I was straight on to my bank. I felt angry and foolish. Just go careful out there with your hard earned money.
  11. E............ Swap it for my immaculate bass. We don't know what basses each of us has, sounds exciting!?!
  12. I have a couple of Nuetrik speakon connectors and want to make my own cable to use from Ashdown ABM 500 to Barefaced 210. What cable do I use and where can I buy 1m?
  13. I had a great chat with Dave from Ashdown. Bad news the amp needed a new power board and perhaps had been tinkered about with before. Good news the amp now has a clean bill of health and should go on for a number of years. Dave was great with his communication and his dry wit made me laugh even though I was parting with my hard earned money.
