  1. Bought a Vanderkley 112EXT from Gilles (truly as new, not a mark on it, even still smells new!!).
    Great communication and references allayed my fears of private international transactions.
    I researched both Paypal and Bank Transfer costs and we settled on Paypal to speed things up.

    Payment went through about 5pm Monday, confirmation of receipt and choice of courier (who I checked out) within an hour.
    Cabinet was at Courier just after 3pm Tuesday and I had both tracking numbers (GLS and Parcel Force) soon after.
    Been like a kid on Christmas morning since seeing it was on a van in Rotherham at 6.26am.
    So arrived in less than 3 days from payment and 2 days from starting it's journey. Brilliant!

    Packaging was the original Vanderkley box, labelled up as requested.

    Check out Gilles' website gear list. He is a true gear head. You (like me) may benefit as items are sold on ;)
    He has been a pleasure to deal with. But then I would say that, I just saved 40% on what is effectively a brand new Vanderkley Cab thanks to his preference for Aguilar tone !

  2. Gilles, Vous êtes génial ! Il est parfait.

    3 days from payment and 45 hours from courier receipt. I am happy as a pig in poo !!! Merry Christmas to me :D

    Now...
    ...off to Gilles' Feedback thread to say thank you
    ...then later I'll fully report on my new compact rig.
    ...and the no doubt start the hunt down the back of the sofa (and a few for sale ad's) to raise cash to buy a 210MNT

    Perfect international transaction. Merci Gilles !

  3. Just tested and bought a BH250 at Dawsons in Leeds (wanted to try first).
    Great tool but will need footswitch to be really versatile to switch between last two loaded patches.
    Been through most of the online Toneprints and some of them are flawed and drop out (particularly Flangers so not concerned).
    The Spectracomp Compressor is impressive as are some of the Chorus and Cleaner Octave effects. Rosco beck's harmonic Butler Octave is a bit of a beast :)

    Think it unlikely they will ever release the Toneprint editor. I really want something that takes advange of the +1 Octave so will have to be patient.

    Now to find cab(s) to use with it :)

  4. Snarky Puppy - Tell Your Friends
    Saw them last night at The Wardrobe in Leeds..... I implore you go see them in Glasgow (in a few minutes), Edinburgh, Manchester or London.
    One of those bands where recordings cannot come close (which is why they record live). Michael League and Friends I salute you !!!
    Check out their videos for Thing of Gold or Bent Nails online B)

  6. Crikey, not sure I should bump this up the forum ;) . Shocked it's still here as priced to sell, the [u]only[/u] reason I've not bought it is 3 basses bought in last 3 months :o .
    I have briefly tried this (probably good job it was brief else I'd be handing over the readies) !
    If still here tonight I may have to think again regards my current 2 out, 1 in rule....and I have an understanding Missus :lol:

  7. Two spring to mind both about 20 years ago. First trying to walk (pissed and full of cold) through a door to go shout our percussionist back in from the garden (stoned and asleep by garden pond). Door Frame 1, Squier Jazz Headstock and Tuner 0. Still has scar 20 years later and Hipshot D Tuner (to replace the bent one off the G)

    Second one, playing in Sheffield City Hall Ballroom (Big band gig, Motorhead were upstairs :) ) and my untrusted Carlsbro Cobra 90 was playing up. Unscrewed the front cover and inspected (live) to find Bridge Rectifier had broken solder. I pointed this out by touching said item, and blew a perfect 2mm square hole deep into my right index finger. Made the gig hard work but learned Electrical safety in one painful lesson.

  8. Just bought cheapest bass I've ever bought from Will. Worth 1/3 the asking price for the strings alone.
    I can feel an uber cheap Tele Neck/Precision project coming on.
    Pleasure to deal with, only emailed last night.

    All hail the flatwound :)
