  1. I have sold my head and one cab. What I have left is one BC210 cab, almost new and not gigged. Excellent side handles and only 19kg so easy to cart about. No marks, one or two small faint scuffs. [b]£175[/b] with economy delivery included. Cash on collection much preferred and then the price will be [b]£160[/b] only. Norfolk-Suffolk border. (Sale doesn't include head pictured)
  2. luvly job chap. really mean that. if it was a p bass your arm would be off.
  3. ta! carry on like that and I'll end up keeping it PS do you know how the insides of the drop tuner works? There's a little piece of metal involved but I can't work out what it does, where it should go and why the drop tuner drops OK but not to D. How do you set it up? (I've post in tech but no response). Sorry if this hits the 36 hour buffer, mods, tell me and I'll remove this post - but i do want to know!
  4. I recently restored this BBass Pro 4. New strings, pots cleaned, fingerboard setup and intonation done. Good paint, a couple of minor dings but nothing through to the wood. Everything works. These are really good under-rated guitars, light and well balanced. Red stained maple body, maple neck-thru, rosewood f/board, 34" scale length, 24 frets. Dual EMG pups J style. Active preamp w/ Dual Vol, Stacked Bass/Treble cut/boost, active/passive switch. It has a drop D tuner, but I'm not convinced it's more than a gadget. It's just I really wanted a P Bass when I got sidetracked by the Hohner, so if you've got a Squier Precision in decent nick and want a change, I could be up for it maybe with some cash as well your way, depending. Based in East Anglia so local would be good as double shipping transfers can get messy. You can hear one being played here [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Juo-y0craU[/media]
  5. Faced with a BB300 which kept shedding its strap I contemplated Straplocks, but in the past I had a couple of basses with these and the straplocks kept working loose from the straps. In the end I used two washers off Grolsch bottle stoppers over the strap buttons after the strap is fitted. The strap hasn't slipped off yet. The only problem is the washers are a miserable red brown so it helps if your bass colour matches.
  6. and now you're selling it what went wrong?
  7. Now seriously getting to grips with sorting out my gear. Surplus to requirements is one TC BC210, 2x10 with tweeter. Great sound with good bass and clear highs. The best thing is it only weighs 19kg, which with the excellent handles means lifting it in and out of cars or lugging up stairs is relatively easy - great for bad backs and dodgy knees! Comes with EITHER a Speakon-Speakon cable connector or a Speakon-jack, you decide which you want. Great condition - could pass for new unless you look really close and if the light's right you see a few faint scuff marks. But no gig or transport scores. There is a slight smell of smoke but it is slight - I hate smoke and I happily share an office with the thing. Cash on collection please, based in mid East Anglia. I'll deliver up to 25 miles (Norwich, Ipswich, Bury). I do have original BC210 packaging so I could courier but even at a featherweight 19kg it ain't going to be cheap.
  8. Anyone know what the right size Allen key is? 5mm is too loose and 5.5mm won't go in. Just spent a fiver on Imperial keys and none of them fit either, either far too loose or too big. The socket doesn't [u]look [/u]rounded... Adn the channel is so tight I wonder if the correct tool is a long handled Allen headed T bar.

  10. Be wary of using WD40. I used it on an Ibanez composite body and it interacted with the plastic, leaking throat wrenching fumes for months until I had to get rid of it. Wood neck and WD40 might be OK. If you wnat a comprehensive guide to basic setup I wrote one for Scott's Bass Lessons a year or so ago. It's in this thread, part of the way down http://forums.scottsbasslessons.com/index.php?topic=727.msg3476#msg3476
  11. Well, I keep blowing hot and cold on delivery. If it helps a sale it would be good, but I think I've got to say travel within reason. Weston is a loooonggggg way from here. BTW it does make a surprisingly big difference having the second 2x10, not least because it unleases the full 250w of the head
  12. Alternatively, if you happen to have a really nice Roland CB100 and about £315 I am very happy to swap. And, yup, I'm on the Norfolk / Suffolk border. That's half way to Holland.
  13. I have just bought a Hohner B Bass Pro IV with a Steinberger type bridge. This isn't the one for the headless basses - apart from the dropped E it's almost conventional. What I need to know is what the dropped E mechanism is like inside. As I changed strings, out of the E string channel dropped a piece of metal about an inch (25mm) long and maybe 4mm wide and side. It has like a hook one end and a shiny ramp at the other. But I have no idea what it does. Does it go over or under the string and which way round? Many thanks if you can help.
