    And bump

    I too had a love hate relationship with 'Rays. But I discovered through extensive trial and error that I hate 3 bands and love 2 bands. I used a three band extensively in the studio and live in the nineties and it was clicky/boomy struggle. Roll forward to about a decade ago and I found the Stingray motherlode with a 2 band Classic. I discovered that a great sound out of the 2 band is all about nickel strings -> letting them bed in -> rolling the treble knob off just enough to tame the zing and keeping the bass knob about halfway or a tad above that. Amazing punch, lo-mids and definition (maple fretboard for me of course) That was my big moment of clarity. YMMV of course!

    I had the pleasure of owning a German Club for a while. Had to move it on as it was too expensive to be a 'core bass' but that was a beautiful instrument. Just wonderful. Played like a dream and recorded incredibly well

    I like the look of those Hofner Clubs

    One of the greats. Otherworldy. Cheers!

    Have a bump for the lovely box of FM fun Offers considered!

    OMG beautiful - I love the U neck on these basses. Argh ouch...
  8. Cairobill
    These are such beautifully made basses. And this one is especially flamey. GLWTS!

    Weekend bump for this wonderful black box of FM. Offers considered
  10. Cairobill
    That looks very nice!

    Exactly - weight is a key question. For e.g. I'm also quite interested in the 50s tele reissues. My brother has a beautiful AVRI blackguard that weighs in at 6.5lbs. I've already seen a comparison video where the comparable AVII is much heavier.
  12. Cairobill
    Yup - I thought the same. Fully expected them to be hovering up near 2.5K.

    Allo all, If anyone has picked up the new 66 reissue jazz bass, would be good to get your thoughts especially if you've played the older AVRIs. They look rather nice

    Price drop to £350 ONO Up for sale is my very nice Yamaha TX802. It is based on the DX7-II architecture, but with a highly flexible 8 individual outs plus a stereo pair, and 8 layers of voicing (vs 2 for the DX7-II). It’s a very powerful FM workhorse (especially in conjunction with editor software that you can hook up from your Mac/PC). It’s a very versatile, great sounding machine. Only selling as I need a telecaster (Which I could take as a part ex with dosh from me if you're interested). Specifically a 90s US Standard with a maple fretboard. Handover preferred in Kent/Sussex/M25 sorta region. Shipping possible too. Anyhow, here are a couple of pics and a couple of links to what this great box can do. And everyone's favourite synth nerd, Espen Kraft, singing the praises of the TX802

    And le Sunday boomp
  16. Cairobill
    Looking for a trade or part-ex on a more open, less mid oriented cab to match my Trace Elliot AH250 e.g. a big 2x12 or a 4x10
  17. Cairobill
    And le boomp for this solid state beast
  18. Cairobill
    And a Sunday bump for this formidable glowing head.
  19. Cairobill
    I had the bigger version of this amp when I was a kid. I used to do feedback solos with the bass pressed up against the grille and everything up on full. It sounded like a 747 taking off! Ahhh what fun
  20. Cairobill
    And just to add - if you have a smaller/lower powered head like an LMII or similar up for trade (with cash from me), that could work too
  21. Cairobill
    Going to withdraw this amp and work on swapping out my cab for some thing a bit less mid-voiced than the Aguilar DB112 I currently have. I will leave the pics up though as it's gawjus...
  22. Cairobill
    Bump
  23. Cairobill
    Here's a bump for a new plan... Looking to part ex for a good condition DB212. Apologies for varying price estimates in the title - if you're interested in a part-ex let me know and we can work something out...
  24. Cairobill
    Ah it looks fantastic...such great basses. As a Bass Centre lurker around 86/87 I would have picked one of these up over going anywhere near a Wal. So playable and punchy.
  25. Cairobill
    @Rib13Bass ha ha - very close timescale to me 1994 - first 3 band Ray 2012 - Classic 2 band Ray 2019 to present - late 80s 2 bands And probably about 10 J-basses peppered around that lot...
