    Hmm. Only one out of three for me last night, then...

    Just returned from the show. I found it disappointing on a number of levels. Firstly, poor acoustics due to the cavernous roof. The venue is quite bright and airy, but really not suited to a music show. The stands seemed to be dominated by the bigger manufacturers, and there was nothing that really floated my boat, but I accept that I don't really have what might be called 'mainstream' tastes! I don't know what it costs to have a stand at a show like this, but a bit more variety and a few more oddities would have been nice. Perhaps the smaller makers can't justify the outlay if it doesn't guarantee increased sales. Despite being combined with the g**tar show, it actually felt smaller than previous years, but that could perhaps be due in part to the scale of the venue. It would have been nice to see more home-grown, niche manufacturers. In past years, you could pretty much be certain to come across a good number of the unusual, different or interesting. This time, it seemed like it was just all the usual suspects, nothing that really stopped me in my tracks. I did have a nice cuppa and a slice of chocolate cake, but I was still in and out in less that an hour. It also didn't seem that busy. The organisers are certainly going to have to do better to get me to go again next year.

    What a fantastic description!!

    Victor bought a bass from me, and the transaction was very smooth. It was a pleasure to do business with him - prompt payment, and concise, friendly communication. Thanks, and enjoy the bass!

    Graham bought my Thunderfunk bass head. As is often the way, we met in a lay-by near Winchester, and no doubt the other drivers parked there were wondering what kind of dodgy deal was being done! We met before a few years back when he bought one of my basses, so it was very nice to renew our acquaintance. Sorry for being late, and thanks for your patience!

    Just bought a rather lovely Parker Fly 5 string from Colin. We had a great chat, and he was a pleasure to meet and do business with. Thanks!

    What a fabulous bass! Most of my current employers would probably have an apoplectic fit if I turned up on a gig with that, but it would be SO worth it! 🙂

    Custom build I had hoped to get my grubby mitts on by the end of the month delayed by tardy hardware from the manufacturer. Bah humbug.

    I was just thinking the other day that you don't see many of these for sale anymore....
  11. lowregisterhead
    That first one is bonkers. You can see where the later ones came from though. Fascinating stuff. Thanks!
  12. lowregisterhead
    Yup! Feel free to PM me if you want more info...

    I think that's more due to the exchange rate with the Yen - not good at the moment!
  14. lowregisterhead
    That's dollars, so it works out at about £4800 (plus shipping, VAT, import duty etc., admittedly). Although it sounds like a lot, an L2 or XL2 in very good nick will be around the 2K mark these days, so for a very early prototype in near mint condition, I wouldn't be too surprised if there's someone in the States who might be prepared to pay that amount.

    I may well take you up on that! How do you feel about wearing spandex?? 🤣

    It sold. Didn't go well, apparently... https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=ashdown-amps&iid=293040183544&de=off&items=25&searchInterval=30&which=negative&interval=365&_trkparms=negative_365

    For sale is a hand made 5-string by Patrick Koopman (Stevie Vai's guitar tech) in the Netherlands. It weighs in at 3.9 kilos, has a 34" scale, 5-piece maple/wenge graphite reinforced neck, and a rosewood board with 'eye' markers at the 12th fret! 45mm at the nut, an ash body, Bartolini 72MV5K splitable dual coil pickup, with front coil, back coil, series and parallel settings via a rotary switch. Fitted with a Seymour Duncan STC-3M3 3-band preamp, with "slap" setting via pulling out the volume pot. Light weight Schaller carbon fibre/aluminium tuners, ABM Bridge. Spacing is currently set at about 18mm, but is adjustable. Strung with D'Addario EXL170's (45-130). It's in excellent condition, apart from a small dent in the lower bout, and filled holes where the original string retainer was, which was replaced by the previous owner. It's beautifully made, and has a huge array of sounds, but I've decided that the neck is just a little too slim for my gorilla mitts! When I first saw a picture of this bass on here a year or so ago, it wasn't for sale. I actually contacted Patrick to see what it would cost to build another with similar specs, and he quoted me 2500-2700 Euros, so what I'm asking for it (which is just what I paid for it) is an absolute bargain for a custom built bass. NOW SOLD

    That's pretty. At first I wasn't sure about the headstock, but it's growing on me...

    Dave bought my mixer. A wonderfully smooth transaction, and a charming fella to boot. Highly recommended!

    I only experienced that once, and it was after I left it plugged the bass sitting on a stand for several minutes. All I did was remove it from the jack (there's a micro switch on it, so no thump) and it came straight on.

    Allen & Heath ZED6FX Mixer in excellent condition. Really easy to use, justifiably great reviews. £85 posted in the UK. Sorry, I'm not looking for any trades. NOW SOLD

    Line6 Relay G10 Wireless System, very good condition. Really easy to use, great performance. NOW SOLD
  24. lowregisterhead
    Shure PSM200 Personal Monitoring System, in very good condition. Boxed and complete with rack-mount kit, although in-ears included are generic ear buds, not the ones that came with the kit (they were actually pretty poor to be honest). Well over £400 new, so grab yourself a bargain. NOW SOLD

    Sony DWZ-B30GB wireless system in very good condition. Only used a handful of times, excellent performance. Really robust belt pack with a metal case. Base unit operates on mains or battery. NOW SOLD
