  1. I don't know - people waste more than that on fags!
  2. I’ve got a vovox cable that I was given - not sure I’d buy at nearly £100 but it does sound fantastic. I’ve A/B tested it with a variety of others and it actually does sound better.
  3. AH yes of course!!
  4. In about 2002 I bought my first decent bass - a Pedulla MVP from an ex session guy in London. I remember going home on the tube then the coach to Oxford with the case and really wanting to open it up all the way. I think I paid £500. A few days later he offered me a shell pink ‘57 P bass reissue for the same price which I got too. I kept the pedulla for a long time (it’s why I’m called ped, used to be pedullaman) Those two basses gave me the initial capital to trade almost every bass since without having to put much more money in. Until I ended up with more than two of course - I think the most I’ve ever had at once is five and now I’m very happy with one (and one for sale!)
  5. At the moment it looks like a guest can post, notifications are sent but the message isn’t visible unless the user registers afterwards. I think. Hopefully the update will fix but In the meantime nothing to be done.
  6. Sorry I don’t follow
  7. Don’t think it can I’m afraid
  8. No I don’t think so
  9. I think the 'guest' post will become visible if said guest then registers their account, otherwise it doesn't show. We have a software update pending so maybe that'll fix it.
  10. Welcome! Moved the post to ‘introductions’ Cheers
  11. Thanks for the replies folks I'm hoping a future release will have a 'search this forum' function which is easier to see, but for now another way to do it is to go to the forum in question (Basses for sale) and then click the search box, and select 'this forum only', and 'search titles only' Let me know if you want me to set up a specific search for you then paste the link here - you can then save that search to your own custom 'stream' Cheers Chris P.S here's an example I set up for Vigier Arpege basses. You can change the term for what you're after https://www.basschat.co.uk/search/?q=vigier arpege&type=forums_topic&nodes=19&updated_after=any&sortby=newest&search_in=titles&search_and_or=and
  12. When wearing to the gate make sure you strap it on upside down so the bass points at the floor. if you stand correctly it just looks like a backpack, and even if they see it's a bass then it doesn't seem so bulky.
  13. You have to have at least one post before 'Wanted' becomes visible (It's a long story but it's to stop spammers)
  14. Bass +200%
  15. Whatever you say about his marketing you can’t deny that it doesn’t work - Don’t hate the player, hate the game! (And opting out is always possible and easy)
  16. I know how much work went into it and think it’s a brilliant idea. Best of luck to him with it.
  17. Thanks, good to know. I’m in Pocklington so fairly close!
  18. No problem at all, you’re welcome here, I just wanted to make sure you don’t post anything that could be flagged as spam! Cheers
  19. Welcome to the forum. Please feel free to get involved but to advertise your products please contact me first. Thanks
  20. Every time I used the switch Ken phoned me up and had a go. He MADE me sell it
  21. Mine had a switch
  22. Well it sounded exactly the same with the preamp flat as it did bypassed, and to me a great bass sounds great with everything flat so you have the extra on tap if you need it.
  23. Yes worth a go. Honestly one of the most ‘Smith’ sounding Smiths I ever played was one of the burner models with jazz pickups so I don’t necessarily believe the pickups and electronics (I mostly played mine passive) have as big an impact as the placement and the construction of the ‘chassis’
  24. Hi folks I haven’t been pushing this due to meet up restrictions recently and I’m not in any rush but now that meeting within reason is possible then I’ll just bump it to say it’s still available if you can travel to York to collect. Postage may become an option but not for the foreseeable. Thanks ped
  25. It’s about where you put them IMO.
