    I have a Warwick Gnome which I bought on a whim and which I am really enjoying - it's perfect as a small practice set-up (along with my BC House Jam micro cab). However, as I use it in our lounge and often play at quite low volumes, I can find the fan quite intrusive on occasion. I wouldn't notice it if accompanying another instrument but alongside low volume recordings, it's reasonably audible. Just wondering which out of the Gnome, TE Elf and TC BAM 200 has the quietest fan. Anyone compared them at all?

    My memory is a bit foggy but I do recall playing a couple of Peter Cook basses back in the early eighties, when I was distributing leaflets for a local music shop at the London Guitar Show (then called The Live Music Show) at Olympia (I think, could have been Earls Court). The foggy bit is whether they were set up in the show itself or whether it was down the road in a hotel, as I remember a manufacturer mini-show in a hotel suite down the road, showcasing their wares away from TLMS. I remember the basses being fabulous though, and gave me my first glimpse of how a handmade, high-end bass compared to its more mass produced brethren.

    Bump for Easter Monday price drop & trade option.

    Damn you - you've triggered a huge wave 'why the f**k did I move mine on?' regret! I had the same combo about 20 years ago.

    You're quite right, of course. I was completely ignorant of the considerations involved in replacing speakers back then, so I suspect I may well have been able to source a much more suitable driver had I referred the query to the BC hive mind.
  6. Bass Culture
    Full report please! 😊 I'd love to hear how you feel it stacks up against some of your other/previous gear.

    Bump for price drop
  8. Bass Culture
    Thinking I may have priced this just a little too high, so reduced accordingly.

    I bought this from a fellow BC-er, but being currenlty band-less, I know I'm just not going to use it. So, I have this Tech 21 Flyrig for sale, in excllent condition andwith original tin. This is the original version, not sure if it differs at all from the V2.so I have this V1 Flyrig for sale. If you're looking you'll already know what an excellent piece of kit this is (for someone who will actually use it, of course) - covers all the basic needs and includes the Sansamp as well as compression, octaver, fuzz and chorus. I have to say it makes some great sounds; they're just ones I'm never likely to need or use. Price includes delivery within the UK.

    Just listed this on ebay with a BIN of £120. Still available here for a tenner cheaper to include delivery whilst it remains unsold there.

    Thanks for the additional replies, folks. Defintely thinking about the buiild route as the price difference between that and the most suitable alternative (probably the C2) is substantial. There's been some great suggestions - thanks for all the input so far.

    Now you mention it, I'm pretty sure my local B&Q does - or at least did - offer this service. I'll check.

    Brilliant, thank you; precisley what I would need to do, I think. Did that price include the wood or did you have to send that to them in the first instance? How did the build go after that?
  15. Bass Culture
    Maybe, maybe not. My 1 x 10's (Purple Chili customs) are pretty compact but size is definitely a factor as this set up will stay in our sitting room and needs to be as unobtrusive as possible. Phil's cab looks quite a bit smaller in every dimension and that will be extremely advantageous - certainly as Mrs Culture is concerned.

    i've never got used to usng headphnes, to be honest. I tend to simply play along to tracks I stream through my stereo, hence the requirement for a small practice cab. I say 'practice' but I'm not really talking about dedicated practice or exercises so much as simply playing along to anything Spotify chucks my way when I'm chilling. I take the same approach to learning a new song when it's needed too.

    Thanks, both, for your replies. @TheGreek- that Schroeder cab looks brilliant, but probable too much (money!) for the specific role I ave in mind for it. @Phil Starr- I've read so many of your cab build threads and have often found myself wondering whether I could 'grow a pair' and try one. My woodworking skills are pretty limited and I don't really own the tools to make a good enough job of it, but I'm sorely tempted to have a go at this one. The difficulty for me would be to get the panels cut accurately and neatly. I think, with care, I could assemble and secure them. I guess I'd need to try to find someone in the Chester area with a CNC machine who could cut them for me.

    I'm trying to put a set-up together that I can stick in the corner of our lounge to have a tinker downstairs when the mmod takes me (phnarr, phnarr...), so size is central consideration. I have a couple of 1 x 10's for rehearsals and gigs so it really only be needed for lower volume playing, and will be paired with a Warwick Gnome. Anyone know of any sensibly priced options put there? Thanks.

    Hi Lapolpora, I'll take this if I may. I'll PM you for payment details. Thanks.

    I bought this a few months ago for a specific project - namely some front room practice with my guitarist ahead of my 60th birthday party gig. Birthday's been had, gig has been played and I have no further gigs in the diary nor band to play in, so this has now served its purpose. It's an excellent little combo with some really useful features for practice - semi-parametric EQ, for example, and on-board tuner (who doesn't love an on-board tuner, hey?). It's in pristine, as new condition and has all the original packaging/instruction booklet etc. It's easy to get a decent sound out off courtesy of the flexible EQ and goes loud enough to accompany acoustic instruments and low volume electric easily. GAK have these at £149 at present so how does £110 delivered within mainland UK sound? I am located in the fair city of Chester, the third point of the Liverpool/Manchester triangle and eminently accessible by rail or car. So if anyone wants to try it/collect it I can do it for £100. The wee beasty itself: Thanks for looking everyone. I'm presently off work for two weeks as I have Bell's Palsy (or Bell-end's Palsy as a wag 'friend' coined it) so can get this sent out quite quickly.

    As well as making fantastic basses, Mike also makes great cabs (I've got two of his 1 x 10's). GLWTS
  22. Bass Culture
    Yep, same here - TNT 130 user about 35 years ago. I remember it being an absolute belter.

    I'm having a 60th birthday party in Chester in February and I'm looking for a 2/3/4 piece band with a repertoire of 60s/70s/80s/90s party/pop/soul/disco stuff to play. No metal or heavy/hard rock, just stuff people might dance to. Has anyone got any recommendations? Can you PM me with details if so? Many thanks. Thanks, Mark

    I'm so late to the party on this - sorry. Just posted my own review now though.

    Lovely to see Peter again today, when he came to pick my Zoot Funkmeister up. It's nice to know it's going to such a great home. We had a good catch up for an hour and a half or so, played a bit and the next door neighbour's even popped his head round the door to say hello. Absolute pleasure to do business with him again, Peter - a true gent and 100% trustworthy. Enjoy the bass, my friend.
