  1. this link. This is something from my amp building website and I love this bass sound. http://www.wkz-amps.com/samples/WKZ-simply-wicked.wma hopefully it will work
  2. also, the wharfedale EVP powered monitor will also power a normal un powered cab,
  3. I have one of those wharfdale's and it is bloomin good However i have just bought a behringer b205d. very small and light but I haven't tried it at a gig yet. I will let you know when I've tried it
  4. I had a WHUFC Steve Harris bass with the same problem. Under warranty it was replaced with no problem. Tell us how it sounds with the status neck
  5. Deal in South east Kent. Would be cool
  6. I'm still thinking about it. I need to try one
  7. many thanks
  8. thanks, as I said , I'd forgotten just how it was, so this morning I restrung it with a new set of rounds
  9. yep, I can't wait😂
  10. In a few days it's my 50th birthday party (not 50 though until 12th sept) and I have reformed my old band for one set. We haven't all played together for nearly 17 years now but the magic was still there. We quickly put together a set off 11 numbers. I decided to pickup my old '73 P bass which I bought when we formed the band in 1990 but I haven't played the the past 3 years. OMG, what a bass. It literally does, just play itself. It's just unbelievable how good it is. Here's a gratuitous picture of it
  11. bridge saddle screws too
  12. excellent, cheers
  13. I'm sure it's fine. I'm thinking about it.

  17. I love my PF500 but perhaps I should try one.
  18. could be on my shopping list then
  19. sounds great to me Lozz. Is it ampeggy, if you know what I mean
  20. anyone got one? what does it sound like. I have a FB friend that uses an ABM900 and it sounds really great. Thoughts lovely people
  21. I worked it out long ago but by chance. Stumbled into P bass ownership in about 1988. Maple board, alder body 1978. Loved it Bought another, this time rosewood board. again late 70's. Loved it even more. Then started playing a JayDee Mark King. Hated it. Too much to fiddle with and I lost my way. Then a hamer Scarab. Wonderful bass, didn't like the sound Squier JV jazz bass. Yeah not bad at all Then I found my '73 P bass in london. Traded in an Aria SBR-150 that I didnt like the sound of. This rosewood board, alder bodied bass became my goto for nearly 25 years. Others have come and gone but this is it. Ampwise, Trace Elliot, yeah ok I suppose, Then Marshall Jubilee 300. Very good. Then another Trace and it was average again. Then Hartke HA3500. Loved it with its transporter 4x10. Then I bought a Musicman SUB stingray. Absolutely hated the sound until one day (so confused about settings) I set the amp flat. BINGO, a real lights on moment. Just a slight tweak here and there and it was amazing. What ever I plugged in sounded good. My 73 P bass was even more awesome. If in doubt I go back to my 73. These days ampeg PF-500 into a small Mark bass 1x15. Ultra bass switched in and the rest fairly flat. It's as good a sound that I've ever had. My Flea bass sounds ace through it as do all my police basses. But again, alder body, maple neck, rosewood board and the pick up in the Fender sweet spot and I'm happy and I know it will work for me
  22. I'm 50 in a couple of weeks, which makes our singer 74 apparently. You wouldn't know it though
  23. interesting but mainly similar stories. My early bands, same singer. We left our first band together as we got a much better offer from 2 other blokes, plus the guitarist was having an affair with a groupie and I couldn't really cope with it. His wife was lovely and I wanted no part. 2nd band, the singer started an affair. again I didn't want to be anywhere near it, so left. Brings me to my current band. I rejoined this band because the band leader and bass player had terminal cancer and his singer had left. Music had kept him going throughout his treatment. I went back happily. He lasted another 4 months but importantly gigged right up until he passed (3 gigs in 3 days was his swansong) Fast forward 3 years and it's like herding cats. We recruited the original singer (band has been going 31 years now) and it was a laugh. We work well together, a real frontman/ sideman thing. But he now has terrible memory problems. He literally can't remember what he did 10 minutes ago and it makes calling the set out a challenge. He knows he has problems and he's had all sorts of tests. It really is hard work but we still have great gigs. Added to this, the guitarist does PA hire and I never know if he's gigging or not and he tries to call the set out but has no idea how to make it flow. I am, chief cook and bottle washer. I get no help. I'm hoping it will fold as I don't want to let them down by leaving. I just don't know what to do
  24. that has made me want to take mine out this weekend. GLWTS great basses
  25. you scum bag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot That little faggot with the ear ring and the make up leave em be
