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'!!! 

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.

E............ Swap it for my immaculate bass. We don't know what basses each of us has, sounds exciting!?!

Blackstar U700 Elite in fantastic condition. Price drop to £299 - 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.

I can offer insured postage and can sort a price dependant on how you would like it shipped.

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.

Warman P Bass pickups.

Price includes UK postage.

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?

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.

After talking to Dave @ Ashdown and trying a couple of new fuses the ABM was sent to HQ today. 

Last night's gig my ABM 500 started well and sounded great then just stopped mid gig.

Transpired the fuse under the power in had blown. Replaced the fuse like for like and it blew again straight away.

Anyone else had this happen and can share their knowledge, suggest a fix.

I've messaged Ashdown.

Wal bought my SmoothHound wireless system.

Great chap to deal with.

Mixed bag with my band tonight. My last gig for this band and my amp failed. The band called it karma for leaving.

Luckily the rehearsal studio we use was nearby and lent us a Orange combi. Adjusted on the fly and felt horrible.

Appreciative audience. 

Onwards and upwards.

Just bought a pedal tuner from Ben. Super easy to deal with.

Cheers.

Kate bought my Zoom B6.

She asked if was still for sale in the morning and within a few hours we met just off the M5.

Wonderful super easy transaction.

SmoothHound wireless system.

Good condition and fully working.  Only defect is that the transmitter door is missing a locating lug but still  fits perfectly.

£40 Inc UK postage.

Paddy answered my wanted ad and we did a deal on an Ashdown amp.

Great comms and a hassle free transaction.

When I first met my wife her claim to fame was 'I danced in front of Prince Andrew when she was at school'.

She doesn't mention it any more!!!

Shirley Bassey of course.

Hi how old is the amp and can you give me the measurement of the rubber feet (centre to centre)?
