  1. I did a deacon build on a vintage v4 years ago and used all Wilkinson gold hardware. Looked and played great. In retro spec if I'd have dropped a set of solder less geezer pick ups in, it would have been a killer bass for about £350.
  2. I dj'd for years professionally and theres no real comparison between Alto and QSC for playing music. Depth, warmth, definition, volume, reliability. However, whether it would make such a big difference solely for bass guitar you would have to decide. However, I still would never use just a 1x12. But again, that's personal preference
  3. The traveller 102p is the best cab I've ever used. Lots of tone, weight and oomph (if we are getting tech ical). Its light and easy to carry with the solid scooped carry handle.
  4. O think they're a lot heavier then need be. I think these come in at 30kg+ each?
  5. Shipping would be around £30.
  6. Shipping would be around £30.
  7. Hi, I honestly have no idea, and dont have any scales I'm afraid. It's a Player series so feels like it's not as heavy as a usa model. It's not super light (like a cheapo bass) but just nice. To be honest it balances superb as well too. Hope that helps.
  8. Yeh, I thought that too! ** for clarity for anyone who's interested (as it's a sales thread) it's just 2 separate photos that look like 1 photo **
  9. It's really odd - I didnt like it at all when they first came out, then I saw one and it's just awesome. It shouldnt be, but it is!
  10. Gutted to be selling this, but work/covid/tax have taken their toll so it has to go. In immaculate condition, sounds superb with the maple neck and the looks really are stunning in the flesh. Superb special run, rare colour, all the quality of the Player series. Pick up Leyland Lancashire.
  11. Agreed. I've definitely gone more punchy and got a more powerful bass sound now I've started to cut the real low end.
  12. This may sound daft or obvious too, but ... the fact the cabs were vertical really made a difference, and I could feel the punch in my chest and back depending on which way i was facing. Thinking about it though, that's because they were at chest level. Theres no point expecting a punch in the chest, when the cabs are at calf level. You'll get a punch in the calf then...
  13. The punchiest (in my definition) cabs I've ever used were markbass traveller 102 cabs (running x2 together vertically). Pretty much the only cab ive had that you could really feel punching you / pushing air.

  16. You need a mij fsr midnight precision. I had one when I was in the queen tribute. It's all there in one bass, everything black and gold. I regret selling it. You can still find them, they're only a few years old.
  17. Honestly, it's a fantastic amp. Not much more you could want - full 12 band eq, 600w of ashdown heft and solid state power, loads of ins and outs, harmonic enhancer and Ashdown reliability AND Ashdown customer service should you ever need it.
  18. Yes, these are from the custom shop and are UK made. Thanks.
  19. Open to offers. Could look at postage if needed.
  20. I have the same rig. Love it. I add another 2x10 for big gigs, but it isnt necessary. Great weight, great tone, great volume. Enjoy.
  21. Agreed, I find really stretching the calves / hamstrings (touching toes) helps free up the tightness. Most of my pain comes when I'm tight and havent done any stretching or exercise.
  22. I thought there would only be a few truly unique ones (precision, jazz, stingray) and more keep popping up I've thought of another - McCartney violin bass.
  23. Afternoon all, I'm trying to thin the bass collection at the moment, so I have had an idea..... rather than keep a couple of precisions, jazzes etc which i like, I thought I'd try and settle / look for one of each of the main types of bass guitar - the groundbreaking ones. Trouble is I keep changing my mind over what the main innovations are. So far I have thought of: Precision Jazz Stingray (not got one yet) Headless (hohner b2a) What others have I missed? Or what would be in your 'one of each' collection. I'm not talking basses that are slightly different from the above, but really different in their own right, whether it be hardware, sound, looks etc.
