  1. Yes, the universal praise really surprises me.
  2. I 100 per cent agree with this, and said so in the worst amp thread sometime ago. I found the Subway D800 to be completely gutless, a terrible, terrible bass amp.
  3. 4.437 Kg on my digital kitchen scales.
  4. Wal Mk 1 / Custom 1980 - £6500 - collected Chorley, Lancashire UK. For Sale - due to personal circumstances: Fairly early (1980) Custom, dated as June 1980. Transitional period Custom bass. Basically its a Pro neck on a standard Custom series. Set up and plays beautifully. Lots of wear on this bass - cracking and crazing of the finish and cracking and crazing on the headstock. A Manchester based, well respected luthier has looked at this and is of the opinion that as the cracks arent getting any worse, it is fine to leave as it is, doesnt think they are a problem and that they add character to the bass. Lacquer cracks are actually fairly common place on a Wal bass of this age. The bass is almost 42 years old, and shows signs of use commensurate with this. I've tried to capture all this as best I can in the photos added - happy to send more photos and details as required. £6500 - collected Chorley, Lancashire UK. Shipping unlikely - I would much prefer a potential buyer to check out the bass in person - but I may soften on that if the bass is still around in a couple of weeks.

  9. I have a spare Mighty Mite Haz copy if you get stuck.....
  10. Now £1699 shipped. Sadowsky Japan RV-5 Metro Express. Lovely bass but I'm currently wedded to Spectors to cover all I need at the moment. £1799 shipped Mainland UK. No trades, though may be interested in a Spector Euro or upwards as part ex. This is the Japanese made Metro Express that is no longer produced. These were made in Japan under the direct supervision of Roger Sadowsky. Not to be confused with the newer ones routed through Warwick. Overall very good condition; a few swirls on the back but no significant dings, chips or scratches. Bass is well set up with a lovely playing action. -Lighweight alder body 3.979kg. -Maple neck with Pao Ferro fingerboard -21 frets, minimal wear on frets. -Hum cancelling Sadowsky pickups -Active 2 band EQ with Vintage Tone Control (VTC) and active/passive switch
  11. Have you added any new songs since the last rehearsal?. If you have- how do you go about it?.
  12. This is great advice. Also, do a session on balancing sound with the emphasis on people turning down to balance the sound, not turning up to balance the sound. Drums not loud enough, ok - everybody else turn down a little and we'll see how that helps.
  13. Pickguards £10 each plus £2 to post mainland UK. Tort P Bass .....Now sold Black P Bass.....Now sold White P Bass - slightly strange shape this one so £8 plus £2 to post mainland UK, see picks where I've overlay front and back on the tort one. White J Bass Gold bridge - heavy duty - £20 plus £3 to post mainland UK.
  14. Pickups - £10 each set plus £2.50 to post UK. 4 x P Bass Pickups. The only ones I am sure of the original are the top right ones from a Harley Benton P Bass Edit: Harley Benton P now sold. 1 x J Pickup Set CTS Volume and tone pot with orange cap - again £10 the set plus £2.50 to post UK.
  15. Interested to see this - love my Limelight P!!!
  16. SGC Nanyo Bass Collection SB 315 is a great option for this requirement. You could probably pick one up for about £250 too - an absolute steal. Japan Sadowsky Basses are almost invariably light. I have a RV5 that weighs in at 3.9Kg.
  17. Peavey Unity Bass, Made In USA - Neck Through. - £350 shipped Mainland UK. Passive P / J Pickups. Dates from early 1990s I believe. Overall condition is average - some scratches as shown in the photographs. on the body of the bass. Weight is 3.903KG, or 8lb 9oz.
  18. Wizard Thumper P Bass Pickup -- £65 - can post for £3.50. Cosmetically a bit rough, or roadworn Plenty of cloth covered cable left - snip back the sheath a little, connect up and away you go.
  19. BareKnuckle P Bass '58 Pickup. Plus, soldered onto a copper plate. £90 Posted P BASS - '58 SPLIT COIL P FROM ITS INTRODUCTION IN 1951, THE PRECISION BASS TRANSFORMED THE WORLD OF BASS PLAYING WITH ITS UNIQUE LOOK, FEEL AND TONE. THE BARE KNUCKLE P BASS RANGE CAPTURES THAT GROUND BREAKING TONE IN BOTH ORIGINAL 'TELE' BASS SINGLE COIL AND LATER HUMBUCKING SPLIT COIL DESIGNS. P'58 Split Coil As the Precision bass evolved, the early Tele bass single coil was replaced with a split-coil humbucking design in 1957. The '58 Split Coil P is based on the slightly later split coil design with flat profile, hand bevelled, Alnico V magnets arranged across two coils with opposing wind direction and magnetic polarity to cancel out hum. Scatter-wound by hand with 42AWG plain enamel wire, the tone is stronger in the bass with a more controlled high end and slightly scooped mid compared to the earlier single coil. Characteristic of the later '50s P basses, there's more output on tap for a muscular performance with exceptional punch
  20. Precision Body - Ply - £40 Posted Mainland UK. Clearly a bit rough and ready -as is the paint job. A decent enough starting platform though......
  21. Good stuff - some faith in humanity restored..
