    The great deity above invented lightweight bass amps for a reason. You have already voted with your feet for the Fusion. I suspect it's only the cool factor that keeps you thinking of the Burman, and that is not enough of a reason when loading out at midnight after a sweaty gig

    Some friends of the band run a club known as Bluegrass Staines in errr Staines (did you see what they did there?) We are on the bill next Friday, at 9pm or some time thereafter (there is a bluegrass jam from 7.30 to 9pm first). It's a double bill with us and The Jolenes (all girl bluegrass band). Not sure who is on first? Now we are not a bluegrass band so it should make for a varied evening.

    Quick google suggets Japanese 1970s brand. There's an ebay sale in Oz for a Yamaha bass and one of these amps that went for £89, so I don't think its worth much. Sorry

    £100 price drop (last one) to £1800 but would need collecting from London

    Stil not located a box so its remains local pickup/meet. Oh and bump!

    [quote name='tredders' timestamp='1405691724' post='2504402'] Ah, that's my old bass and it's lovely. I had it with TI flats on and it sounded just like a P bass should. These JV basses really are as good as their reputation suggests. [/quote] Agreed my doppelganger JV Precision is a nicer bass all round than the '63 Precision I once owned. The only P bass to rival my JV, that I have played at least, was the Pino and that will set you back a great deal more moolah

    Cheers Lozz! Update: in the event I find a suitable box and can post, one BCer has PM'd me and has first dibs. However, right now I do not have packaging so its still available on a pick-up/meet-up basis in London

    You are too kind Paul and Barrie, cheers!

    [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][sup]Thank you Chris! Not sure I should really sell this but to be honest its just sat at home and in my rare non-DB gigs (eg my Uncle Tupelo tribute) I am playing with acoustic musicians so I only bring the weeny PJB combo along anyway[/sup][/font][/size] [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][sup]Edit: this is sale only, no trades, as I need to raise some money for excitinmg house repairs [/sup][/font][/size]

    Thanks Fionn but I think that is a bit of a historic statement on Jamie's part. After selling to me, he ended up buying another Markbass combo (the very similar CMD121H), which he recently sold again on BC to help pay for his teacher training
  13. Clarky
    I find myself with a surfeit (4) of combos and as my PJB Briefcase isn't attracting any interest, thought I would post this up. Its the highly regarded Mini CMD121P combo and I bought it in May 2013 from BC'er Toasting (aka Jamie) in excellent near-mint condition with a padded custom RoqSolid cover. Its hardly left my house since (as I tend to use smaller PJB or Acoustic Image combo with my DB gigs) so it remains in excellent condition. No box so its collected/meet-up only in London area. I am after £475 including custom cover Specs here: [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=41"]http://www.markbass....etail.php?id=41[/url] Stock pic here (not mine but you couldn't tell the difference): [attachment=166786:Mini_CMD_121P(0).jpg] Original FS thread including pics of combo and cover here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/207807-sold-markbass-mini-cmd121p-ny121-even-bigger-price-drop/page__p__2095228__hl__markbass%20mini__fromsearch__1#entry2095228"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2095228[/url]

    If I could find a box and add a tenner to cover postage would that interest anyone here?

    Couple of PMs but still available type bump

    I would email Kris Kedzior directly and ask his recommendation - he is best placed to know (he plays his instruments as well as builds them). For a warm jazzy thump I would recommend Presto Nylonwound Ultralight strings but they are not great for bowing. For a more traditional steel string that bows, maybe Thomastik Superflexible or Spirocore Solo Tuning (these are meant to be tuned higher than EADG so in downtuning them they become lower tension under the fingers). Many BB players use Thomastik Solo strings

    It certainly wasn't my intention to encourage further disharmony. I merely thought it might lighten the mood. Ho hum
  18. Clarky
    Drop a PM to Mr Bassman (aka Keith) as he is after one of these. He is in Harrogate so would need posting but maybe he could sort this out with you?

    Had a fantastic pint here [attachment=166697:Warwickpub.jpg] Very friendly barmaid [attachment=166698:Bradford-Street-Anchor-Hannah.jpg]

    I had an Eminence at one point and it sounded great amplified (Realist) but terrible unamplified - like a cigarette box with rubber bands on. No microphone would have made it sound good. If your bass is similar to an Eminence I suspect you will struggle to find any mic will make it sound good, which means you will need to stick to a transducer mic. The Realist is known for being quite dark so maybe you can borrow a different type of piezo pickup? A BassMax or Underwood for example that slot in the bridge wings with no modification (the Underwood definitely sounds great on my smaller bodied Kolstein travel bass as. It's brighter).

    Trade option added: vgc Tecamp Puma 500

    Resuscitating this for sale thread as between my 3/4 bass and my Kolstein travel bass I have all I need on the upright front (oo err missus)
  23. Clarky
    I've been through all of this, trying to find a portable alternative to my DB in my band. The nearest I got was a Takamine TB10 (which uses piezo pickups) but it was quite heavy for my knackered shoulder (although it can be played on a pin) and its very expensive. I now use a downsized DB (Kolstein Travel Bass) or Ampeg Baby Bass or - last night in the tiny Green Note in Camden - a good old Fender Precision

    I was only playing his album Nocturne this evening on the way to my gig. Fabulous player. How sad
