  1. I had Dragon Skins on the Fender Geddy Jazz I sold a few months back. They were on the bass when I bought it so were perhaps a year or more old. I found them a bit odd feeling and the E was dull and a bit lifeless compared to the other strings, as if there was too much coating compared with the ADG. I much prefer DR Pure Blues 40-100 for similarly forgiving tension (round core) but somewhere between warm and bright tone, whether played pick or fingerstyle. They feel very high quality and I have those on two of my 3 basses. They also have the advantage ... for me ... of being almost identical in tension with TI Flats, if I want to swap between flats and rounds or vice versa.
  2. Will now include post in £550 price, or drop £25 off (to £525) if collected from SW13
  3. 180 pounds? Blimey, another celebrity on Mounjaro Ps, quickest bump ever!
  4. Maybe @bassadder can help as he used to be a distributor for the now sadly no more Acoustic Image?
  5. Pretty sure I have a Mark Bass Bass Keeper kicking around. These are £22 new and I will throw this in. Edit: I found it! Like this (pic from the web, not mine)
  6. Used to be mine. Its a wonderful lightweight and incredibly easy-to-play bass. I am back on long scale basses now, after my hand injury (largely) healed but this is an absolute beauty for those who love a shorter scale. BTW, the brand new one at Bass Gallery is £2,850, so this is a grand or so cheaper and looks to still be in the amazing condition when I sold it. GLWYS!
  7. I now have a box so can post at cost within UK. Looks to be about £20 from the usual suspect delivery couriers
  8. This is a thing of beauty. Have a bump to the top on me!
  9. I think that was when I played the riff from Magnificent Seven by The Clash over and over while you fiddled with compression settings and it became progressively harder to play! Crikey, 15 years... trying to work out why I am actually a worse player than I was then, haha!
  10. Nigel bought some Spector-style inlay stickers from me and all was excellent!
  11. Just to chip in here, this really is slick playing and super light ... a dream for longer gigs. GLWYS Sibob!
  12. OP'S profile says Treharris CF36 in Wales 😉
  13. Brian bought some Spector style fret stickers from me and all was excellent! Cheers Brian
  14. I accidentally ordered two sets of mother of pearl oval crown stickers for my new (to me) Ian Hill Spector. This is the spare unused set. Unavailable in UK, had to source these from a US ebay seller. Avoid the transAtlantic hassle and lob £15 my way to upgrade your dot necked Spector!
  15. Nope, but hoping to join a rock covers band shortly. We will see.
  16. From Spector website:
  17. I specifically bought the Ian Hill model as it has a slimmer neck profile, front to back. As an FYI, the Doug Wimbish models have a J (1.5") width nut, so are also easier on the left hand than a standard Spector
  18. Just did a bass p/x trade with Simon, our first deal in a few years. As always, a gent to deal with and I am very happy with the bass I received in exchange. Top stuff!
  19. I have had this for over a month but the crown mother-of-pearl fret stickers only arrived this week from US. I think they look the part and also tone down the Judas Priest 50 logo at 12th fret. Nice slim neck profile and a comfy 8 lb 2.5 oz in weight (this is the one I got from the Gumtree chap who has a gazillion basses for sale who was the subject of another thread).
  20. Would accept a near offer... and here is the rave review video referenced above: https://youtu.be/WYK5cL2zG2I?si=yuKJ0Ct9zK6qoXoV
  21. The newest version of Markbass' flagship Mini CMD 121 combo, the V (with all functions eg DI on top). Bought new last year, never left house (as all gigs with my [now ex] goth band used the venue back line) and I have since decided to go the way of separates (again, I know....). It's worth too much to gather dust. New prices are typically between £749-830 and it comes with the official padded cover (cost me another £60). Altogether this would be over £800 new .. and its virtually indistinguishable from new (I took the horrid sticker off!) I have no appropriate shipping box at the moment so its collection only from a public space (not my house) in SW13 (Barnes, south of permanently closed Hammersmith Bridge).
