That's bloody lovely!
-
Yup. Swings/roundabouts and a balancing act. Plus the risk of being mugged for the gear rather than the car window bricked 😞

OK, lots of lovely valve heft and tone! I'll not bore you with that you already know. I bought this about two years ago, and it had not been gigged or rehearsed - home use only and not a lot of that as I have a Bassman 135! There's a Roqsolid cover to go with it - I can't see any difference in the amp from new. It's a great amp to pop on top of a modern lightweight cab to hold it in place 🙂 Being big, heavy and fragile, In the first instance I am looking at collection - Manchester/Bolton/Wigan area. Thanks for looking, Paul. -
Absolutely.
-
That rather assumes they know what was in the bag - it may have been an opportunistic passing scrote that saw the gig bag. The sad option may be they realise too late they will struggle to move it on, and damage it 😞
-
Just that has made a world of difference!

or a whole bass in that price band https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pb_50_sb_vintage_series.htm?sid=016035ddb050f26c0494fe6c3d21f5e0Hought

Not directly bass related - I built a Tele partscaster a while back. I ordered some ludicrously expensive pups from the states, but lead time was about three months. I ordered some toneriders as a stopgap. I haven't got round to fitting the expensive ones. P.

Love it thanks - tweaked the setup a fair bit - reduced neck relief, adjusted action a little. Mainly going to be a bedroom toy - I don't really have time for being in a band for the next couple of years. My repertoire is also such that local dep jobs would be awkward too! once the kids are old enough to get themselves around and be left unattended I might start looking.

New embassy (and also thunderbird) bass, Classic style!

I suspect a realisation of the demand. I think there was initial surprise that the price was so low. -

Nor I. I don't *NEED* one of these, I was happy with my existing T-bird. This came along and I WANTED one. At £500 I could persuade myself is wouldn't cost a lot to change, £600 just makes it easier for me to say no. -

Richtone & Dawson's too :-( -
Indeed - that Ibby is rather nice - to be fair they do some good looking basses.
-
Anderton's don't have them listed but may be worth a call. Richtone aad Gear4music have them as orderable

How many LEDs to light? it depends! The LEDs say it's doing some compression. The more LEDs the more compression. If you want a more extreme compression, head into the yellow. The red is pretty much hitting a limiter. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you like. Do what sounds right to you.

A Mr Tee with PJ setup...

I used to hanker after a bass machine 250...

As WoT says, there's something about valves for heft, if not portability. I have been messing about more recently - using mt streamliner 900. Plugged in the bassman 135 as a change. Into my 8ohm cab, I'd guess tops 80 watts. More heft than the Genz.
-
I bet damping strings on that's going to be challenging!
-
Thanks - sounds and plays nice.

Just bought the Schecter 8 from Alex - very helpful and communicative, the weather made things awkward but all went well.
-
I think I can say with a degree of confidence the schecter isn't for sale anymore :-) Paul.
-
I did wonder if he actually had been sold a fake.

Fun - that what too many of us forget, and is utterly infectious.
