Hopefully, they'll get some less arrogant and more customer-focused staff as part of the move. Every interaction I've had with the one has been "sub-optimal". I wouldn't employ him to sell plectrums let alone high end spendy bass gear.

If relevant, I'd be happy to do a TonePumpectomy and LHZ preamp install on a Spector, if people wanted to see one being done. I've done 5 already that are documented on the Spector thread.

The Mesa Big Block, every day of the week and twice on Bass Bash Sunday.

I've mailed teh pickup contact to see if he's interested in attending either/both the SE and SW bashes and doing some pickup-related talk or tech comparison for us. I'll update when I get a response. Fingers crossed. ATB Sean

I've just bought a cab from Mike, who's a lovely chap and a absolute gent. I was in a bit of a rush so didn't get much of a chance to chew the fat. Maybe next time. Another great basschat deal and one of the reasons why this community works so well. Thank you, Mike.

“On hold” for a week GK fusion 550 - *SOLD*
Sean replied to patrikmarky's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
You can't go wrong. Last Friday one of the agents that books gigs came to see us and it was the first time I'd met him. He said to me after the first set what a great bass sound I had. The Fusion 550 is a peach. -

A fabulous piece of kit. I gig one. I really like that Gator rack bag too. Lovely. -
How do we feel about me approaching someone I know to do a talk on pickups? He is very very good with an audience and does it for a living. I reckon if we got the numbers up to 40+ I could convince him. It's just a matter of whether we're actually interested. If we videoed it, and put it on The You Tube, as Uncle Bryn calls it, it could be worth while for him.

It's the same distance from me as the SW Bass Bash, so it seems silly not to go. Put me on the list, please.

I've got some lovely emails and a handwritten note from Dennis. I spoke to him on the phone once and he's all about customer support. This was in my parallel life where I'm a guitarist. I've never had a Vintage bass. I've still got the freebies he sent too.

Show us your rig of choice for the weekend ** Basschat edition**
Sean replied to bassace97's topic in Amps and Cabs
Hopefully this is a one time only deal. GK Fusion 550 running through a headless Mesa Walkabout. The Walkabout head needs repairs, my green TWO10s is up for sale, so it's staying at home. It sounded good at sound check but it's really different. -
It's a superb example of Carol Kaye's bass of choice from 2002. These don't come up too often. Condition is remarkable for the age. It's even got the plastic film on the cavity covers. It's Korean-built and we know they know how to do neck-through properly. The build quality is stunning as is the grain of the ash wings. The neck profile is what I'd call slim modern J. Controls are: Vol, Blend, Treble, Bass. It's been deep cleaned and set up beautifully (med/low) with D'Addario EXL170BT strings. that's a balanced tension set. As per all my rosewood board instruments, it's been treated with Montypresso. Frets are level and polished to 7000 grit. All electronics have been checked and all pots cleaned. New battery fitted today. Truss rod is perfect. It's 4.4kg. I've got proper packaging and am happy to ship insured at buyers expense, which will be about £30. If you're undecided and fancy trying it out, I can usually accommodate a try-out with some notice weekdays or weekends.-

Does this apply in reverse? Hypothetically, if one had a collection of Sadowsky, Valenti, AC, Lull etc basses, would one still take the Fender? I mean, Joe Blow doesn't know the difference between a Jack & Danny's and and an Alleva Coppolo, they're both obscure, niche brand FSOs. My Jap Yamahas have been the victims of Fender-snobbery many times.

I've delayed a bit in responding to this but there's been a lot going in in my head with how I can learn from it. I've already been in touch with Wub (if you know, you know) and I'm about 2 weeks away from a new fuzz. Thank you very much for sharing that post. i loves a posh pedal board.

I just sold a cab to Nigel. All very straightforward and another great basschat transaction. Nigel is a top bloke and very easy to deal with. Thanks again.
