Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.-

I did indeed and it is a great bass 😁 Its price tag does not reflect how well made it is and how good it sounds either. Both my semi acoustics aren’t being used for the simple reason all my work requires Precisions and something with 22 frets. -
Bought a BF Compact from Muzz in another dodgy BC car park meet 🤣 Cab exactly as described. Always good to put a face to a name too. Deal with confidence. Thanks again Muzz. Cheers Dunc

Bought a TC head from Mike. It arrived the next day, well packed and exactly as described. Great communication and a great experience all round. Thanks again 😁 Cheers Dunc

I sold Dave my BF Super Twin. Great transaction. Great communication. Instant payment and a thoroughly good lad to deal with all round. I wouldn’t hesitate to deal with him again. Enjoy the cab Dave 😁 Cheers Dunc

I guess they are just checking everything is working ok and you have some sort of decent level. The presumption being that you will let them know if you need ‘more’ when the band is playing?
-
The thing is, they do get asked back and get decent money!
-
The trouble is they know nothing about PA’s but insist in being in charge of the sound. If the level of the guitars remained a constant then the gain could but each gig the guitar levels are up and down, something I don’t think there’s any need for with in ears. They even turn their amps up sometimes if they need some more guitar in their monitor 😂 There should be no feedback but the singer/guitarist has his guitar way too loud onstage and won’t turn down (or does the pretend to turn the dial). It makes no difference to him as he’s playing rhythm and is on IEM’s anyway. Take just that into account and everything becomes too loud onstage, hence the feedback. Too loud on stage and the PA isn’t doing enough work I think.
-
Far too late 😂 They use an XR18. I’ve been using one for 10 years and when I mentioned we should be using the gains, the reaction was that we should get an engineer in to set it all up. Now I’m very capable of doing that but I think they believe it only needs doing once and then it can be left like that forever. Maybe they’ve misunderstood using ‘scenes’? I’ve even took mine into rehearsals and set it all up, sorted all the in ears etc but they won’t use that desk because they know their desk gets a good sound? It’s a very odd situation. Voodoo almost 😂

I’d certainly opt for choice 2. One band I play in have the oddest way of sound checking I’ve ever come across. Everything goes through the PA regardless the size of the venue. Firstly, the drummer stands out front and gets the levels of the guitars right and then the vocals. Then he gets on his kit and the singer/guitarist goes out front and does the level of guitar/vox with the kit. This is all done using the volume sliders not by adjusting any of the gains at all? Gain does not seem to be important, as it’s messing about? Then, everything starts feeding back and they won’t listen to anything I have to say about everything being all ass about tit. Then they start using the volume controls on the active cabs to control the feedback by turning everything down 😂 Apparently it has to be done that way as we have no time to mess about as it’s unprofessional ? This is virtually every gig we do when we have to use our own PA. As we all use in ears ,I would have thought that feedback wouldn’t be an issue. Maybe that being really loud onstage is though 🤣

As above in good condition. Gigged (not extensively) so not pristine. An easy one man lift. Has built in wheels too for ease of movement. 1200w @4ohm so powerful enough for any situation. I'm using in ears mostly now and so don’t need such a powerful cab but would px with cash my way for an original BF Midget or Compact 15 possobly a Super 3rd. I’ve found some photos of the cab from around Christmas time and put them up. The cab is in the rehearsal room and I don’t have access until next week to take some recent pics but it looks more or less just like it does in the pics below. Collection from BB22SH, meet depending on distance. Postage possible at buyers cost and risk. Will be well packed though.- 1 reply

Mike bought a desk from me. Instant payment and great comms. Nice fella to deal with all round. He even took the Parcelforce Express AM special delivery service that took 3 days to arrive in good spirits 😁 Would have no problem dealing with Mike again. A positive experience all round. Thanks again. Cheers Dunc

Greg Bennet by Samick Royale 3. MM Seymour Duncan Designed Humbucker plus a Seymour Duncan Designed preamp. Volume, Blend,Treble and Bass. It has an Gotoh battery box installed replacing the screw on cover. Also has upgraded Wilkinson machine heads. I guess it’s under 9lb as it doesn’t feel a heavy bass. 40mm at the nut. Nice bass that sounds and plays much better than its price tag suggests. I ended up using it as a first for a while as it excels with vintage chorus type effects. Selling as I’ve acquired far too many Precisions and I still have GAS for Fender shaped things 😞 No case with this. Collection preferred from BB22SH. If the buyer wants it posting at their cost and risk, then I’d have to source suitable packaging. It will be securely packaged.

That would be Parcel Force etc definitely not Evri or DPD! 😁

Bought some rack ears from Rosie. Everything went as it should 😁 Top BC’er. Thanks again! Cheers Dunc
-
Bought a bridge from David. It arrived safely and in no time at all. Exactly as described too 😁 Thanks again David. Cheers Dunc
-
Bought a loom from John for a 66 P Bass build. Great work indeed. Fast safe delivery too. Thanks again John.

I still use my Midiverb lll. The best delay I’ve ever heard on a bass! -
Did a trade with Pete for his lovely BF Compact. It arrived super fast in bulletproof packaging and exactly as described. You can’t ask for more than that. But there is more! Great comms and a thoroughly nice chap to deal with to! Thanks again Pete, enjoy the One10 😁 Cheers Dunc
-
Yes it works as a standalone mixer with FX as well. Postage would depend on the level of service but I should imagine that, next day delivery, fully insured would be no more than ££25. Obviously, a lesser service would cost less.

Did a trade with Graham. All was good and couldn’t have been been better 😁 Thanks again Graham. Cheers Dunc

It’s a great cab, the quality is second to none. As for the initial value, I can only go off what I was told when I got it from a long standing BC member. The MK2 112 equivalent to buy now is about €1200 with a cover and so, by the time shipping and import fees were paid, £1400 sounded about right to me. -
Tried listening to The Stranglers today....

Virtually every band I’ve seen in a decent sized venue for well over a decade have had a ‘generic’ horrible woolly bass sound. Rigs tend to be sub bass heavy (sub isn’t needed for most genres imho). Engineers seem to think that ‘sub bass’ is what it’s all about now. Totally baffles me. Can’t they tell that the bass is just a blur and it’s not actually enhancing the overall sound at all? Was their tutor off that week? I still like to think that bands of a certain ‘level’ have their own sound engineers but I think I’m kidding myself there. Maybe JJ’s sound is much more authentic onstage? I like JJ so I’m blaming the PA guys 😂
