  1. The black nitro one is the same. I think the Fiesta red one is a poly finish
  2. Oooh a Classic Lacquer nitro one too. Rare and a lovely bass. GLWTS
  3. At least an hour I'm afraid and the A12 is borked with roadworks on top of that!
  4. If it's an ABM600 push the shape button in (to turn it off weirdly!), turn the compressor off, don't use the sub octave thingy. Then eq it with your ears and not your eyes. You can seriously whack up some of the frequencies to get the sound going. They're amazingly flexible amps in my opinion - one of the few I would have back in a heartbeat. If it's an ABM500 throw it in the bin......
  5. It's got a pretty flat fretboard so would probably work well
  6. SOLD Purchased recently to alleviate my back issues as it's super light at 3.5kg but I've realised I'm a 4 string kind of guy and could do with the cash to put into something else (but at some point I'm definitely going to grab the 4 string version!) I've added great quality fretboard stickers and side dots and the previous owner added a second strap button to improve the playing position (the paint chipped a little when he did this so it's covered with some black tape so doesn't look bad) Probably one of the best necks I've ever played - lovely dark roasted birdseye maple fingerboard, a great flat profile and solid as a rock. Truss rod functions perfectly. Active/passive modes and a sweepable mid along with bass and treble controls. Takes regular strings and I've just restrung it with 125 -40 Dunlop Superbright Steels. Comes with the Ibanez gig bag. Priced at what I bought it for plus what I've put in to it. Collect from near Stansted Airport (I'm 4 minutes from J7a of the M11) or can meet/deliver by arrangement depending on your location. Sorry, but I don't like posting stuff.
  7. I've been using a Digitech Drop pedal recently and its pretty good.
  8. How about a Source Audio Atlas instead and have a squillion different compressors in one box?
  9. A great song from back in the 80's that I thought nobody else had heard. But why have you only done the main riff bit?
  10. Proper Vicious Lesbians encounter?????
  11. The Herald in Harlow....how did it go there?
  12. Mesa BB750 for sale One of the best rock amps ever made and increasingly hard to find. I have 2 and would like to release some cash for something else. I rotate it with the other one at each gig so it's used regularly. If you need some slam in your sound this will do the trick! Sounds incredible with the valve driven front end and a valve also driving the FET power amp. 750 watts at 2 ohms 500 watts at 4 ohms Perfect working order and includes the footswitch to engage the overdrive channel. Housed in a 3u rack case. No shipping option so collection or a meet up somewhere is preferred. I have biscuits and a cab in the house.
  13. I think it looks like a bit like the Bass Direct shop site in Warwick, UK. It's not their normal site but looks very similar so maybe a scammer has cloned the site? Maybe give them a call via their normal contact details?
  14. Nope, they sound fine to me too
  15. I've got the 4 string version. Probably one of the best basses I've ever had and it's an undiscovered gem generally. (It's seen off Spectors, Warwicks and Stingrays in the last few years)
  16. You could just get a female/male short cable and plug the transmitter into that
  17. This is one of the finest lines I've ever seen on Basschat!
  18. Similar to me.....been playing for donkeys years on 4 strings and currently doing about 40+ gigs a year in a covers band. I use a detuner on a few songs and thought a 5er might work a bit better a few years back. Traded for one on here, tried to get my head around it for about a month, did a gig with it. Lasted about 6 songs and i had to switch back. Sold it.... Fast forward to a couple of months ago and I inadvertently tried a 5er in a music store. It was actually a £1500 fan fret headless 5er. Loved it and actually found it a lot easier to play than my previous attempt a few years back. I don't really know why but i can only think that it was SO different to my previous one that my brain was treating it as a different instrument rather than trying to adjust to something sort of familiar. So I now have a lower spec used version of the same bass bought from Basschat for a third of the cost of a new one residing in the rack. It's a no pressure situation and I'm treating it as a project over the next few months and having a noodle when i feel like it. I'm not rushing into any gigs with it. If i get on with it confidently I'll introduce it into the band or i can just have some fun at home. Or flip it of course.
  19. Is it a bar in/near Brentwood, Essex by any chance? I really wouldn't bother - you're building your confidence by the sounds of things and this won't help at all if no one shows up. I don't think you can even treat it as a paid rehearsal either. Mainly on the basis that if 5 people do actually come through the door and drink £100 of beer they're going to be expecting to see some sort of band performance and not a practice. You'll be expected to treat it as a proper gig by the management or you definitely won't be getting paid at all. Plainly and simply, if any of you don't think it's worthwhile for any reason just don't do it. It can be because it doesn't pay enough for you, has a dodgy crowd/management, sound limiters, bad load in/out or anything like that. It's supposed to be fun unless it's your primary source of income.
  20. The ones I'm talking about aren't sold by Amazon. They're on the Amazon site but from a 3rd party and not from the Amazon warehouse. Mrs Pup got conned last year buying some perfume from what looked like a legit seller and it turned out to be fake.
  21. The £16 heavy gauge NYXL strings on Amazon all seem to be sold from stores full of hair straighteners and various other popular counterfeit items. Check the storefronts before you spend money....I'm suspicious and sure they're going to be fakes
  22. I had the bass combo version of this back in the 80's (think it was a GA140 or something like that). It was great as you said - really clear and punchy
  23. By me 😁😁😁 And very lovely they are too
  24. Oddly enough I actually meant the small furry rubbish collecting critters. It's a ritual there.
  25. That's one of our regular gigs and probably one of our faves. Lovely crowd there - you know you've cracked them when they get the Wombles out of the bag and start waving them at you. Have a good one!
