  1. You could always brag that you'd been to Hull and back! 😂😂
  2. Absolutely love the sound of these 🙂
  3. You are right, the Elf is a good amp in it's own right. I got one as a spare and it sounds great to me. Plenty loud enough through a pair of BF 110's. I play with PA support (usually! That's a laugh at the moment 😂) though. I'm sure that with the right cabs, as a standalone, it could be enough for smaller venues. Depends on the style of music though too. If portability is a necessity then it's a good choice. Unfortunately, there's always a trade off when choosing between micro heads and those that.curve your spine.
  4. A mate of mine bought the blue model when they first come out. Heavy as but a really nice bass indeed. He got into raving in the 90's and swapped it for a couple of record decks. We all do very silly things.
  5. Sometimes I wonder why you bother advertising your stuff Si.You may as well just contact me and I'll open an account with you! 😂 Even though I've got the R16 I still keep on looking at this! Top guy to deal with folks. GLWTS
  6. I can't e even blag it as she doesn't even know about the other acquisitions yet! 😂😂😂😂
  7. Somehow you always manage it Si! Another item that's been on my list 😂 If I hadn't just splashed out on a couple of basses, I'd be having it for sure!
  8. Borax, that's a downer indeed. I know it was obvious about changing the lead but I got confused with mine when it still made a noise at the tip? Have you tried this -
  9. Try another lead Karl. I've literally just plugged a bass in and all was well, tried another and nothing but the lead worked when I pressed the tip? Plugged it in again, nothing, pulled it part way out and it started working. Before I took the bass to bits, I tried another lead. Hey presto! Equilibrium is restored 😀
  10. I had a play on this yesterday. It's a lovely looking bass that plays even better than it looks. GLWTS.
  11. Bought a couple of basses from a Ash today. Great deal, great basses exactly as described. What more could a man want? Deal with confidence. Thanks again Ash. Cheers Dunc
  12. Due to a couple of new acquisitions incoming, up for sale is my De Armond Starfire wearing fairly new groundwound strings. I've got a set of flats that came off it when I bought it that I'll include too. It's in good condition for its age and has had a couple of mods by the previous owner. The jack socket has been moved to the front of the bass (pic of the old hole added). To be honest, it's much better on the front as they don't sit too well on a stand plugged in in the original position. There's also an extra strap button, it was there when I bought it and to be honest, that works well too for a quick height change. Has USA pups. Hard case included. It's short scale but takes medium scale strings due to the tailpiece. Trades - Try me with anything music related. Basses to Macs. I'll get some better pictures tomorrow in the daylight. Collection and trial much preferred from BB22SH but can ship. Buyer to arrange their own courier and insurance.
  13. I had a crafted in Japan P in oly. Sold it on here a number of years ago and still regret doing so. Lovely thing.
  14. Surprised this is still here. Perhaps if you'd put it up for £100 more in the first place and said offers invited, you would have got £50 more than you actually wanted! 😀 GLWTS
  15. I thought you were going to say he wanted it back after you'd fixed it! 😂 Some of the old Peavey gear is great!
  16. The combo was abandoned and was left at the rehearsal room as no one wanted to store it. It wasn’t left for the bands benefit. The singer didn’t want it in his room. It only stayed there as no one would take it away.
  17. Imagine this scenario. Bassist joins band approx 8 years ago. Perhaps longer. Bassist leaves band and leaves his combo with the guitarist. Approx 7 years ago Guitarist takes combo to the singers rehearsal room as he doesn't want to store it. Afore mentioned bassists father then joins the same band as the bassist. Approx 7 years ago Father uses the combo for rehearsals and gigs. The father leaves the band 2 years ago and leaves his sons combo. A few months later, the guitarist who the combo was originally left with also leaves the band and forms a band with the bassist who had left shortly before him. He also leaves the combo. Are you following? 2 years ago, I join the band and the combo is still there. I used it a couple of times in rehearsals only before taking my gear there. Last week, the original bassist sends a message via his father that he wants his combo back 🙄 His father goes to collect it with the same guitarist who the combo was originally left with. Next thing, posted on Facebook is a load of insults about the singer and he was "going to pay" for damage to the tolex on the combo? They didn't mention this whilst picking it up? Tonight a tirade of threatening text messages are sent to the singer! Honestly, you couldn't write it. All this over a decade old Behringer combo that wouldn't fetch £40 if it was mint! 😂😂😂😂 Personally I think they were lucky that the combo still exists, never mind a little bit of damage to the carpet covering!
  18. If it sounds good to you - use it. If it doesn't then don't. Same scenario with any gear really. Personally, I've used Peavey gear quite a lot, mostly in the early 90's. Bass gear and PA's. Sounded great then. A while ago, I did a PA and the bassist had an old Peavey TNT combo, it sounded really great. He had bought it a couple of weeks before For £70. In many ways it's all a personal preference. There's also the fact that the cab you used could have been old but really tired? Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to use a PA cab if needs be.
  19. Hi Karl, what's the neck like? It it a bat (doesn't look like one in the pics) or a more modern profile? I'd like this but same as ever I need to move something on first 😔
  20. Mac basses. Try me with anything. I very nearly made the switch to 6 but another project (which is taking up most of my time) has come along that requires 4's only. I've had it about 12 months. It didn't look used when I bought it and it hasn't left the house since. Squier dater website says that it was built in 2015. 3 tone Sunburst. Looks like new, comes with a nice new looking Armourdillo rigid case (with keys). Has a Staytrem bridge fitted (original included) and is strung with rounds. Don't think they are stock strings as they are far better than the ones on the new Vi that I previously owned. I bought it with 2 sets of strings one of which is a set of La Bella flats. I took them off and fitted the rounds. The top E on the La Bella's broke when I took it off. They may go back on ok but I cannot guarantee that they will. I would much prefer collection and trial from BB22SH but you can arrange a courier or I could probably meet up depending on distance.The case is still in the loft so pics or that to follow.
  21. No pics for me either? I picked up one of these from around 2000. It's great. Sounds and plays far better than any Mex I've owned.
  22. These are fab little heads. I picked one up recently from here and it's one of the best purchases I've made on BC. Bought it as a spare but wouldn't hesitate to use it as a main. GLWTS
