    I followed the above advice (option 2) and it worked a treat. Many thanks to @3below!

    Andy bought a Rick 4003 off me and all was fine and dandy! Nice guy and great buyer. ATB Clarky

    As a dissenting voice, I think their SG Standard basses are pretty decent. I own a recently-manufactured ebony one and it plays very nicely (albeit better with Hipshot Supertone bridge) and sounds great. That Rex B does admittedly look a howler

    Agreed. Usual, Amp and On all sound like they mean the same to me! Obviously in practice it will be quick and easy to work out but retaining Pop, Rock and Funk labels would have been better IMO. Similarly On (next to Standby) seems to be strangely worded as Done, at least with my dodgy eyesight. Still looking forward immensely to blasting through this amp though!

    I was wondering the same thing! Any idea @wateroftyne? Thanks!

    Withdrawing as a BCer has offered to take a look over the pickup and fix it if necessary

    I bought this recently on the forum but it doesn't suit my ply bass. Now my bass is not very resonant, like most ply basses, but it doesn't have much output when I plug into an amp. What I don't know is whether there is an issue with the Realist or whether its simply unsuited to my bass. So I propose that the 'buyer' try this out first and - if it works fine - then pay me. Half new price posted, £90, if it works fine. Sound reasonable? Previous ad (and it looks the same):

    Bargainaceous £45 if you take both sets (the LTFs alone would cost £56+ new)

    If you would sacrifice 25W and a few features, my rackmount UK made ABM 500 in Gator bag will be up FS shortly (in London) at half that price. Nowt wrong with it, it was a a stopover until my all-valve Hand Box WB-100 was ready (will be in next 1-2 weeks)

    Both sets cut for 2+2 headstock (Serek, Gibson) La Bella LTFs, little used,silks still pretty good. Will last years, £28 posted in UK DR Hi-Beams, on bass for all of 5 minutes before I realised I prefer nickel over stainless steel. About as unused as 'used' bass strings can be. £22 posted in UK

    The innards have been ready for some time, waiting for the boxes
  13. Clarky
    Hopefully my name is on one of then (not literally obvs)

    Mine for good measure

    An F-deck pedal or clone like this Rafferty will make a big difference https://reverb.com/item/13880879-rafferty-hpf-pre-2-bass-preamp-adjustable-high-pass-filter-phase-switch-custom-color

    According to an (expired) ad on Reverb, this weighs 14kg (just under 31 pounds in old money): "Ashdown has worked in conjunction with Mark King create an amplifier which meets the UK bass legend’s requirements for absolute fidelity and clarity, precision tone shaping and masses of power on tap for stunning dynamics. The result is the AL-MK500, a 575 Watts RMS funk powerhouse with low impedance instrument input, illuminated VU meter, Harmonic Emphasis, 12-band graphic EQ, switchable pre and post EQ balanced DI output, tuner output with mute switch, line output, effects loop and speaker outputs on jack and Speakon connectors.

    If spending over 1k on a new/nearly-new bass I want something pristine!

    I had a ponder about that ex demo SG bass but decided against it. In case you are interested, it weighs 7.46 pounds and I have some pictures of the scratch I could send you?
  19. Clarky
    @Ccwg_Bass you were after one of these
  20. Clarky
    Just agreed to buy a PJB mini combo for my double bass from Rhys. Friendly comms and I am sure it will be just the ticket for small gigs and practice. Cheers!

    Lovely basses, beautifully assembled, with plenty of low end and growing list of fans. In case you want to hear what one of these sounds like, here is me with my orange Midwestern playing through an Orange TB and Barefaced SuperCompact
  22. Clarky
    Thanks! Ed still plays in the Jawbreakers but is Bo's some-time writing and recording partner and his usual lead guitarist. If you google their albums are under "Wily Bo Walker and ED Brayshaw"

    Best chance is to try sending the seller a PM as their profile page says they haven't logged on to BassChat since April 2021
