    The Ink in the Well was also my introduction to DT back in the 80s and I have never heard any other player since get close to that characteristic mix of air, power and string vibration on the board. Very funny and self effacing guy too

    Reverb has high fees (can't remember exactly but it's something like 8% or more), which you need to be aware of in setting your price, whereas eBay now charges fees to the buyer. I much prefer eBay and have also had more success with it historically when trying to sell on both platforms simultaneously

    Each of the three £182 pedals (OD, comp, DI) can be found in the Transit B pedal (along with EQ and tuner) for considerably less money, especially second-hand

    BassDirect hasn't added the weights yet, which I thinkare an important measure for those considering this model. But with the (seemingly) full body size, I doubt they will be much less than 9 pounds

    BassDirect has a couple in stock as of today (I think) at £3,299

      Done. It really is very quick to complete.

      Thanks to all who responded. We got a whopping attendance of over 100 MPs and peers. Hoping it makes a difference

    I had both TB10 and DB10. As noted, the only difference was the preamp. I gigged it with an added strap button, bass guitar style, or on its stick, upright style - video of latter here https://wilybo.com/acoustic-band-videos/1982-2/ It was thumpy and great for DB style sounds (I had my most recent, with the cool tube preamp, strung with Rotosound TruBass black nylon strings) but a bit heavy (especially in its tank-proof hard case) and clunky. I sold it in the end as I barely used it in the bands I played in. Were I to go acoustic Americana again, I would consider re-buying

    Withdrawing this after playing it at home today. Won't be my main gigging bass (except for short sets, possibly) but its lovely to play at home (and will be great for recording, when that next happens).

    Happy to include 24 hour courier delivery (UK only) in the asking price

    Sorry just listened back quickly (skipping over tracks), it was In the Cage where I thought the drums were too low. My first listen was using earbuds on a flight... so not the best testing circumstances! I will listen again properly to the whole thing before opening my gob again 😅

    I had the chance to listen to most of the first 'LP' (up to Chamber of 32 doors). Very clear sound vs original but the bass seemed pushed up very high in the mix and Phil Collins' drums too low (very obvious on title track). Need to give it another listen, along with the second 'LP'.

    Bought a couple of months ago from BC stalwart @Sibob, this is absurdly cool (hope it's OK to pinch your advert pic, Si?). However, despite being much lighter than your average late 70s P at 8.87 pounds, its unfortunately still not light enough for my damaged back and neck (back story: horse riding accident, 18 cracked ribs front and back in 2023). Carrying it to and from a 2 hour rehearsal last week resulted in significant pain over the next 24 hours and this made the decision for me. So its collect from a public space in Barnes SW13 or delivery at cost. Asking what I paid, £2200, which I think was a fair price. More details and pics in Si's advert below. It's in the same condition and comes with a padded Fender gig bag. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/514522-1978-precision-olympic-white-maple-lightweight-sold/

    Apparently there have been limited production runs of these in the past but this seems like a full roll out. Would like to see what these look like when played before judging as some shortie derivatives work better than others visually IMO. I had a Willcock Mullarkey which looked great whereas I thought a short scale Stingray looked a bit like a toy on me when I played it (TBF, the Dadbod fat stomach didn't help)

    Good luck but the seller hasn't visited BassChat since January 2023

    Bought a nice Trace Elf amp from Mick and all was good! Top BCer!

    Ah gwaan! Will PM Mickey

    I would concur the TE-1200 and Monza sound fabulous, although I think of the Trace as a small/mid sized head (its not a micro/mini in any sense). The Trace is really quite clean (doesn't overdrive like a valve or hybrid head) but sounds superb. It is not, as noted above, a cheap head and there are many other alternatives with more Watts for your pennies. Disclosure: I have only used at home so far, so haven't tested volume capabilities with a loud band (first rehearsal in a week or so's time)

    Andy bought a MarkBass combo from me and all was hunky dory! Many thanks mate and enjoy

    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.

    Will now include post in £550 price, or drop £25 off (to £525) if collected from SW13

    180 pounds? Blimey, another celebrity on Mounjaro Ps, quickest bump ever!

    Maybe @bassadder can help as he used to be a distributor for the now sadly no more Acoustic Image?
  24. Clarky
    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)

    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!
