    Brought back some great memories...cheers mate! I used Trace gear in all the bands I played in throughout the mid 80's right to the late 90's.............then my back started complaining, loudly!

    If its anything like my R400 I've gigged for a while now, it will definitely be awesome!

    Just bumping this up for Mark. I bought the SR1805 from him last week and its an incredible bass to play, fast, low action with a fairly slim neck. The Nordstrand pups are as good as anything I've heard..to my ears anyway! and I own Status/Musicman/Warwick basses.. This is the first 5 stringer I've ever owned and tbh it didn't take me long to get used to the extra string and the neck. These basses are superbly made and this current one should be virtually the same as the one I bought so whoever buys it will be very pleased. Glwts Mark.....not a lot of money for a hell of a lot of bass that's for sure.

    I absolutely love gigging whether its to 20 people at the Dog and Duck or 200 at the main stage at the Magna Beer Festival... I love every aspect of it...the nervous anticipation of loading the car, meeting the other band members at the gig...setting up, sound checking and then walking on stage knowing you are supremely confident in playing the songs you've been rehearsing for a couple of night at home. I love trying out any new gear, different strings and different amp settings. I just love the buzz of performing and being as tight as possible with the other band members. Then after the gig, ragging down asap with a large beer, chatting with anyone who might have appreciated my bass playing and finally loading up to drive home for a sandwich and a whisky. I just simply love it, been doing it for 50 years while holding down a stressful full time job too....l must be some sort of crazed, demented animal who doesn't mind feeling knacked all the next day with blisters on his fingers....l just can't stop myself and l will gig till l eventually can't stand up anymore. I simply love it.........

    Now that's a lot of amp for the money. GLWTS bud.

    Would imagine it would be fairly easy to fit another speakon connection in the compact cab. I'm sure Alex would help you out with this if you emailed him.

    More piccys please...
  11. Woody1957
    Bargain especially as its the newer improved model. Ive got one and its a great little amp with a good range of tones...whats not to like.
  12. Woody1957
    Great amp...great price! Glwts mate!

    Just bought a R400 off basschat a few weeks ago and l love it. I wonder who's going to join our Handbox owners club?

    Absolutely perfect piece of vintage kit for a young kid setting off in their life long expensive low end journey! What a steal at 70 bombs too! I won't say glwts as you won't need it.
  15. Woody1957
    Excellent power amps and totally reliable and probably why a lot of PA hire companies use them too. Glwts bud.
  16. Woody1957
    Had one of these monsters for donkeys years as my main gigging amp......simply awesome! My back won't allow me to buy this one though.....
  17. Woody1957
    Lovely!! This is my collector grade '71 Jazz.......
  18. Woody1957
    Lovely bass by the looks of things...is it vintage? What year?
  19. Woody1957
    Saw Jimmy Lea (Slade) play this combo....and a few more at a Sheffield City Hall concert in the early 70's........what a wall of sound..still looking for my lost fillings!
  20. Woody1957
    How many valves does it have?
  21. Woody1957
    This is exactly how a Fender Precision from the Punk era should look! Anyone wanting instant mojo has it right there.......forget this road worn factory made stuff, it can never replace the real deal imo. Glwts mate!
  22. Woody1957
    Any updates Mr Scrumpy? Did you get it sorted?
  23. Woody1957
    Bargain...just come back from a gig in Sheffield (Media Vale pub) using one of these and 2x Barefaced SC's....cracking sound, punchy and loud. GLWTS.
  24. Woody1957
    Top man, keep on rocking mate!!

    I'm a big believer that these wonderful, vintage basses were made to be played. But what's the point of putting them under the bed or on a stand and staring at them. Fair enough, it costs an arm and a leg but you can insure them for damage or theft. I have a collector grade 71 fender Jazz (bought from Si off here) that I regularly gig in pubs in and around Sheffield and I have absolutely no qualms about doing it. It sounds absolutely epic too and it's a joy to know I'm playing a beautiful piece of Fender history.
