The new centre block Gretsches got very positive reviews in [i]Guitarist[/i] magazine.

I use 3M velcro, 5cm wide, about £10 a roll. It sticks fine to metal or painted surfaces, but a bond to a rubber base will always fail. EDIT: That's 3M the brand.

[size=4]This is a 2x10 guitar cab (i.e. NOT suitable for bass!) originally intended as an extension cab for the Laney VC30 combo, which is how I first used it. I have also paired it successfully with an Orange Tiny Terror 15W head, and then a Laney Lionheart 20W head.[/size] [size=4]Here is the spec:[/size][list] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#111111]2x [url="https://www.jensentone.com/vintage_ceramic/c10q"]Jensen C10Q16[/url] speakers[/color][/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#111111]Closed-back design[/color][/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#111111]70W RMS handling[/color][/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#111111]8 ohm impedance[/color][/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#111111]Leather side handle[/color][/font][/size] [/list] [size=4]The cab works perfectly with no issues, and it is in excellent condition. The only cosmetic defect I can find is where the surface of the leather carrying handle has started to flake away (see 3rd pic below).[/size] There is a review on [url="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32485154/20160103_160840.jpg"]Amazon[/url], and one in French [url="http://alatest.co.uk/reviews/speaker-reviews/laney-gs210ve/po3-88117672,35/"]here[/url]. [size=4]I love the sweet sound of Jensen speakers (in fact I have a P12R on back order for a combo I own)[/size], but realistically I don't have the room at home, so it can be yours for [size=5][b][s]£80[/s] [color=#0000ff]£65[/color][/b][/size]. Collection or meet-up preferred, as courier delivery would push up the cost a fair bit. No trades on this thanks, unless you are anxious to offload a Deluxe Memory Man with NOS Panasonic BBD chips on board! -
[quote name='grumpyguts' timestamp='1461921096' post='3038704'] Will be doing it again I hope, just got to think of a band name. [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1461921470' post='3038706'] I suggest 'The Chapel Hat Pegs'. [/quote] What a stand-out idea!

Bump for the weekend. Something else I should mention - there is an audible pop when switching between active and passive. Sometimes it's quite loud, sometimes not, it seems to depend on what amp it's plugged into. Also s small amount of crackl when operating the volume pot, but no crackle when actually playing.

He's at it again...Vintage Marlin Content :)
JapanAxe replied to Chiliwailer's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
My recollection of Marlins is that the hardware was made out of an alloy which scored somewhere between 'Cheddar' and 'Red Leicester' on the cheese hardness scale. -
[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1461155227' post='3031923'] You need to try them, honestly. The Epiphone 339s are pretty good for the money, but honestly the Custom Shop 339 is probably the best value Gibson there is. [/quote] Speaking of which, just seen a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282093-all-original-gibson-custom-shop-es339-2010-vintage-sunburst-50s-neck/"]gorgeous sunburst 339[/url] on sale on BC. NOTE: I have no affiliation to the seller!

Lovely guitars these -
[quote name='pineweasel' timestamp='1461845823' post='3038120'] Looks like this place in Bournemouth have them: [url="http://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk"]http://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk[/url] I tried a Kala U-Bass at Duke of Uke in London and it put me off buying one. Too expensive for what it was. [/quote] Not sure I want to be seen going into a ukulele shop! Looks like Ms Axe and I are off to Bristol today...
-
Thanks for the heads-up chaps. I would really want to try before buying, which would necessitate a trip to either Bass Direct or the Gallery. Anyone know of other bass uke stockists in the South? EDIT: Just found that Hobgoblin Music in Bristol have a couple of Ashbury (budget brand - not Ashbory) bass ukes in stock.

Follow these simple steps to accelerate your bass's ageing process with hardly any effort: (1) Make yourself some sleeves out of sandpaper. (2) Fix a small lump of concrete to your belt buckle with grip-fill. (3) Wear them whenever you play your bass. (4) Round up all the old keys from around your house and chuck them in your bass case or gig-bag

I certainly don't miss old transistor amps. They were cack.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1461774207' post='3037556'] I mean, the funky one about f**king his girlfriend while she sits on the sideboard with her feet in the drawers lacks a certain [i]resonance[/i] under the circs. [/quote] Or indeed the one about getting it on with his sister.

Just had this out for a play and had some second thoughts, but I can't justify keeping it just for home use so still up for sale. Don't forget trade options.
-
Can't argue with that!

Hello BC posse, I am considering a hollow uke style fretted Kala U-bass and I wondered what action and intonation adjustments they had. Or are they built spot-on so that adjustments are unnecessary? Off you go...

Have fun, and make sure the audience knows you are having fun. If you do happen to play a bum note, everyone else will be too busy having fun to notice.

It's in good condition. Apparently.

Love it.

[quote name='Bobthedog' timestamp='1461498060' post='3035104'] The funny things was his favourite was......... my cheapest bass - the Fender P with D'Addario Chrome flats! [/quote] Nothing odd about that - I have 2 and I'm contemplating a third!

Easy like a Sunday morning bump
