    When the Mrs was a poor student, we sussed out how to remove pen ink that the train conductor had used to spoiled her train ticket. Funnily enough it was E-Cig fluid that did the trick. Not all brands worked though. Saved us a good few quid on fares commuting back and forth to Uni!

    I am no longer surprised with the great stuff you put up for sale Walshy. It may be easier listing the gear you don't have 😂 GLWTS

    Thanks John, I'll give that a whirl!

    It's not mine unfortunately . The photo is from the previous owner, fellow BC'er Geddys Nose. I'm sure he would let you know any details if you messaged him 👍

    I picked up a Quilter Bass Block 800 and two BF 1x10's last night. So far, I'm very impressed. The size of the stack looks a bit toy like and comical but it sounds and puts out like a pro rig. I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces and the comments from other band members when they first see it and then after they hear it 😂 Nice pairing of head and cabs. Great sound and farcical portability! Hats off to Quilter and Alex, the brainchild of these mighty but tiny BF cabs 😀

    Regardless of the current situation I'd say no. Over the years I've played loads of "free supporting" something events and everyone of them has been a complete fiasco. Badly run events with 12 bands on etc etc. By the time you take away the band members and partners, there's virtually nobody else there to donate etc. Local venues wanting local bands with a following to play for nothing while they pay some unknown Peruvian punk band a small fortune to waffle some claptrap and not have a single person pay entry to see them. Most of the venues here can't profess to be going under because of Covid as nobody paid in before it.

    If I hadn't already got a Big Twin, I'd be the owner of this. Cheaper than chips for an Ampeg cab and at 4ohm, what more could anyone want? I'm tempted to sell the Twin and go for this. No brainier if you are after a nice cab for silly money really. GLWTS

    I'd have to put the price up for such a rare commodity 😂

    Cleaned up and photos added type bump.

    It needs a damned good clean. Not got round to it yet though. I might relic it by using a wire brush and dettol! 😂😂

    Recording over lockdown. Like everyone else, I found myself without a band and so recorded some stuff on my own. Stuck it on Soundclod and here it is. Under the name of 154.

    Hope the link is working!

      Christ! Have you recorded all that lot during lockdown? I told myself I'd get some recording done, but I've been getting caught up in the minutiae. Probably recorded about 16 bars so far. Good work man!

      There’s more that need some finishing!

    Please ignore the £365. I can’t edit it to £400! Trade - studio equipment. P bass maple board. Oly would be perfect but not essential. Cash adjustment either way. Back up for sale after a long think! Alas, it’s just too heavy for me now. Noticed a bit of a crackle (which isn't really bad) on the pup selector today. Only does it when changing pups though. I'll spray it with switch cleaner when I get a chance. Hopefully that will sort it out. Westone Thunder II MK2. I think it's a MK2. If my memory serves me right, there's 3 versions in the series. http://www.westoneguitars.net/basses/thunder/ Nice bass in decent condition for a gigging bass and its age (early 80's). Increasingly hard to find. Passive or 18v active, although I've never used the active circuit. I played a Thunder 3 for over 20 years and this is basically the same bass with a different headstock logo and cream pup covers. I never used the active on that either as I found it sounded better without (I'm not really a fan of active basses). I used the active switch a mute. It's missing the truss rod cover. It wasn't there when I got it. The metal active toggle seems to bet a bit bent too. I've not used the bass much in a while as it's getting a bit heavy for me. It’s approx 10lb 11oz as I recall. I do not have a hard case for it and as it's a thru neck I'd be reluctant to post without (see below). Maybe something could be sorted out though. Collection and trial to make sure everyone is happy would be ideal or meet up possible. I'm in Blackburn Lancs BB22SH. Will only consider posting (well packaged of course) if potential buyer organises their own courier and insurance. UK only please.

    Hi, does it come with the power supply?
  15. itsmedunc
    Oh no! I was dreaming about getting one of these last night!
  16. itsmedunc
    I have one of these. Great basses. This model is basically the same as the Thunder 3 alert from the logo and truss rod cover. Mine is missing the cover and not in as good condition as that one though. It's a bit too heavy for me nowadays and so may appear on here at sometime.soon.

    That's mad! He's not that fast but does have a tendency to be a very shouty too!
  18. itsmedunc
    It's a great amp. Newer doesn't mean better or any more able. Doesn't matter what it is. If you like it, that's good enough. Some of the greatest heads are over 50 years old! And so are the bass players 😏😂😂

    Is there a record for words per minute in a song? If not, the singer in one of the bands I play in should easily take the title. I sent him a song with only vocals on a bit of a chorus. There's four words over approximately 5 secs of music. He returned his take on the song and there's about a hundred words per minute . EDIT - Maybe 250! 😂😂😂😂 Why do some singers feel the need to tell us the "whole story" instead of giving us the basic idea and letting us come to our own conclusion?It's almost like he thinks he's having to explain every scenario possible to an idiot. Wouldn't be so bad but it takes him 6 months to remember all the lyrics that he's managed to cram in! 😂

    Top rig. £400! It's a no brainer really. Wish you were closer as I'm sorely tempted and I don't need it! GLWTS.
  21. itsmedunc
    I'm sure the last bass I posted went with Parcel Force and cost about £18 (no insurance) I had to book and pay online though to get it at that price.
  22. itsmedunc
    These always crop up when I'm either skint or sorted for heads! This time, the latter unfortunately. Won't stop me thinking about it and formulating a reason why I need it though! 😂
  23. itsmedunc
    If only the money was there for me, I'd definitely be in touch. Great system. GLWTS.
  24. itsmedunc
    Do you gat wafers with it?

    Bought Paul's Zoom recorder. Great experience. Everything as it should be. Nice chap too. The recorder is exactly as described and it got here as quick as could be expected. A credit to BC. Thanks again Paul. Cheers Dunc
