    Still open to a swap but I only want to swap for a 4 of the same cab, so sadly I must decline pleas to sell my cab.

    [quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1494842130' post='3298848'] Ooooh that's tempting. Are the necks on these a.)very chunky? b.)slightly chunky? c.not chunky? [/quote] Astonishingly playable. This is the easiest to play 5 I've had.

    [quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1494578943' post='3297052'] Lovely. Err weight of bass and your location? [/quote] 9.5/10 lbs if you trust my bathroom scales. They don't tell me I weigh the same as when i was 18 so I must assume they're fairly accurate. Location: in my man cave. Which is twixt Norfolk and Suffolk, near Diss.

    [quote name='No. 8 Wire' timestamp='1494577623' post='3297044'] Can I buy this on a guaranteed buy back scheme? Meaning I buy it now for 220 and when you regret selling such a great bass you buy it back from me for £250? Say in about 2 weeks Anticipating your response I say good luck with the sale regardless! [/quote] That's pretty much how it works - a lending library.

    My Squier Precision V 5 string. This is a great bass in perfect condition with the added benefit of a Kiogon solderless wiring loom including CTS pots, switchcraft jack and new chrome flat top knobs. Brand new set of D'Addario EXL strings. Properly set up with low action. Comes with Dunlop straplock pins. Will post well packed and insured and the cost of posting is included in the price. It's obviously easier for me if you collect and the collected price would be £200.

    Scott Devine raves about his in a recent vlog, comparing it to Fender Nate Mendel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YarWwi7gRqI

    Nah, Fodera, Fender et al are just overpriced Squier clones. Me and a few other cogniscenti are sticking with the quality

    Goodness me! Lots. I'd be astonished if they were being remaindered soley to make way for new stock, aren't the new basses the PJs and therefore supplementing the range and not updating it. Basses go B stock for many reasons.

    Thanks guys. I wonder if it isn't intentional. Looking down the bass from the top end, the 'pissed' string tree is only wonky relative to the headstock, it's actually tangental to the sharp curvature of the fingerboard, given that it takes the higher 4 strings only. See pic. If it also took the B string then it would have to be parallel to the headstock. I think I answered my own question. Basses - endless fun for all the family.

    I have a Barefaced Retro 210 in near mint condition but I need the 4 ohm version. If you also have this cab in similar condition but need to come the other way, that is, you have a 4 ohm but want a 12 ohm version for more flexibility, I'm keen to talk.
  20. lownote
    I asked Barefaced to quote for the work. Reply was 'we're too busy to deal with this'. Make of that what you will.

    The string tree on my newly acquired VMP appears to be wonky, higher under the E string than under the D by a good margin. Plus the screws are in at angle looked at down the length of the bass. Can you do me a favour? If you have one of these basses can you tell me if yours is the same. If yours is parallel to the headstock surface can you tell me what height the underside of the string tree bar is above the wood of the headstock. Thx.

    Just bought a squier vmp5 off deedee. Not even got it yet and already super impressed with his efficiency and unflappable cooperativeness. Awesome chap.

    Fender N3. You need to be more specific Alex, what do you want people to do?

    If you've tried finding a secondhand 500w cab you'll know it isn't super-easy. Most cabs are 300w or under. This Ashdown ABM500 Compact 1x15 is the real deal. 500w, and I have an email from Mr Ashdown to say so! So if you have a 500w head and an 8 ohm cab and need another to free up all those lovely watts, here's the answer. Previously owned by a jazzist who swears he never turned this cab up full and he had it from new. The covering is a little scuffed in places and torn slightly on the back but nothing too awful by any means. See pics. Handles and feet in good nick. Dimensions (H x W x D): 474 x 610 x 420 mm Weight: 28 Kgs. Hefty lift but no problem carrying it about because it's quite compact. Due to size and weight I'm not posting it, but will deliver up to 25 miles for £10 petrol money. So that's Ipswich, Norwich or Bury. Now £125

    I'm now rockin a Markbass head, Barefaced Retro Twin + Ashdown ABM500 15 incher to get my full watts allowance. Like I said at the start this isn't a match totally made in heaven. But I'm on at the Dereham Blues Fest in July and have been warned I need mega trouser flapping capability. And playing blues with flats, oomph is probably more important than tonal niceties and delicate harmonics. I have been told upping my wattage from around 300 - 500 won't really make that much difference. But I'm not yet totally sure about that. With just my BF cab on the head, full throttle is noisy but not too huge and I would worry about it being lost in a big hall with drums and heavy guitar. Hook the Ashdown into the mix and anything over 2 o'clock on the gain knob is getting unpleasant. So I think it does make a difference.
