    Cheers guys. Can’t argue for the price. Going to get one ordered. I won’t need to add a 2nd, but do appreciate the IEC plug rather than the usual barrel ones. Also means I don’t need to worry about adapters or changing the 2 pin plug! Plus it’ll power a 350mA pedal I have no sweat.

    https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_1ac_pro_modular.htm Anybody bought one of these? Look promising, individually isolated 500mA outputs and a proper IEC power cable for £50 What use would the AC out be, to power a 2nd one?

    Sold Bert my Helix Stomp, very easy process and great guy to deal with. Very quick payment, great comms and patience, as I was tied up a few days before I could post the Stomp. cheers Bert.

    The Stage 800 you mentioned are actually really good. The effects are useable, it comes with a foot switch and has some nice features that offer something on top of what is already a very good combo, i.e a Rumble 500. If you need a tuner, and aren’t a heavy pedal user, then it is worth the extra on top of a Rumble 500. I had one, sold it, and am pretty tempted to grab another. I liked the filter and chorus, the drive was usable and the compressors were pretty good. The Markbass 121h is tempting too, I like the form factor of the 121p and have used and liked it before, but I prefer the tweeter of the H.

    I’ve had a Sandberg VS5, Sire and Yamaha BBP35 and now have a US Professional P bass. They’re all great, but at being a P bass the Fender is hands down best. Perhaps unsurprisingly. The Sire P5 looks like it’s going to be a winner.

    Dropping this a tad, going by prices for ones sold here rather than eBay. £300 in the unlikely event someone is able to collect, or £310 to your door ☺️

    I got mine in January. Think it was about £130. It’s great! I’d have been more than happy had it cost double. See the Twins pic for scale:

    Edit: price adjusted to £300 for a quick sale. Or, £310 posted . In fantastic condition, boxed and has been very well cared for. This has been my entire rig a couple of years now. Noise gate/amp & cab sim/EQ/compressor/effects/tuner! The full works. The time has come to sell, however, as I need a small combo for a few side gigs I’ve picked up. it’s a great addition to a pedal board, the effects and processing are really very good. Otherwise, as I used it, it’s a full rig paired with a monitor or IEM. I can ship UK and am after a sale, but let me know if you’re interested and have a good 1x12 combo to trade.

    Literally nothing. I’ve grown to love a plain black bass. The blue JMJ look fantastic, but the aged black had an undeniable vibe, especially as pictured above with that pickguard. I really like Fender flats too, that they come with.
  13. M@23
    Nice one. I recently got an Am Pro I P bass and love it. Mine's black/maple/mint. Have to say, it has one of my favourite B strings. It’s uniformly P bass. Do you know which flats it’s strung with?

    They’re not bad are they 😂 Bet it’s great with the EBS. Mine was best for me when used with clean and powerful amps. I turned my Glock up to full volume once, just to see how things went; it just got very, very loud… haha. No sweat at all.
  15. M@23
    I’ve been raving about these since I picked mine up in January. They’re genuinely great basses that have a fantastic feel. It’s probably the most fun-to-play bass I’ve owned.
  16. M@23
    Interested in how? I use a Headrush 112 and find it to be great for bass. 90% of the time mine is used as a monitor for electric drums, backing tracks, my vocal and bass. Sometimes I’ll put some guitar through it. I’ve used it like a traditional amp/cab too, with my Stomp and it does a great job.

    Ooof, the blue JC 🤤 I played a white one the other day and couldn’t quite believe how great it was.
  18. M@23
    Me too! I only quoted you as I wanted to agree with your solo comment, before the rest of my post.
  19. M@23
    Or all solos, on anything that isn’t a bass 👀 Bass playing aside (he’s obviously very good). He has 9m subs because he’s very good at what he does. YouTube is an ad platform. A lot of the things people mention that that irritate them, all the gimmicky stuff, is him playing the game very well. I don’t think we need to be concerned about his employability as a bassist and I don’t think he’d be interested in the pay cut anyway!

    Either use it for the experience, if you’re new to it all, to get your repertoire up and get a few more gigs under your belt, or walk away. I certainly would not start trying to resolve issues of a band I’m brand new to.
  21. M@23
    They are nitro I think. Certainly a really thin finish that didn’t take long to wear, but looked great. Cool basses. I believe they also had the graphite rods in the neck and the Greasebucket circuit. I remember them being a really good price when new for a US Fender, but not too many seem to pop up 2nd hand.
  22. M@23
    To echo a couple others, don’t be put off by their simplicity and lack of options. I grabbed a 5 string one for various gigs coming up where tradition dictates it’s the best fit for the genre. It’s since jumped to the front of the queue for EVERY gig/session. It is so responsive to how it’s played. Also, it’s a Fender, and it has one of the best sounding B strings I’ve played.
  23. M@23
    Sounds like a winner. I’ve never played one, but always think they look cool. What’s the fretboard? Looks very dark.
  24. M@23
    66% of mine qualify. The P5 bass is a recent acquisition, and damn, it is good.
  25. M@23
    Is it an Elrick? What’s the EQ all about? Fantastic looker, that.
