    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1462134157' post='3040569'] At the expense of hijacking my own thread, does anyone know the demise of Sound Control story? [/quote] Story goes that Royal Bank of Scotland leant them a huge sum of money (I've heard exaggerated claims of 20 million). SC wasn't too well though, spread themselves thin and lost a lot of money from the London flagship store on Oxford Street, it bled money from day one. Then one day, as banks do, they called in the money. Game over. So I was told by a few people in the industry anyway, who knows what else was going on behind the scenes, I wouldn't want to speculate.

    +1 for MXR Micro Amp. The custom shop version has great tone controls, very sensitive should you need them.

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1462128647' post='3040511'] That won't work. It was so long ago I barely remember schools existed. [/quote] Phew, glad you clarified that in the second sentence because my eyes popped out after I read "that won't work" !

    [quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1462126903' post='3040490'] I thought these were nitro and I would expect it to wear rather than chip/flake. [/quote] Nitro is generally a softer less durable finish, so will chip and flake much easier than poly if it takes a knock. You're right in that it will wear quicker from friction than poly, but can chip too. Nice bass to blow all your cash on

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1462127585' post='3040498'] Me too. Desperately trying not to think how good my Foundation 5 would sound sporting these. [/quote] I think old ugly school teachers from your youth is the technique you may be looking for?

    Surprised these are still here

    [quote name='jonnywillmott' timestamp='1462051649' post='3039999'] ill have this! [/quote] Sorry mate, had already agreed to sell it to a fella and he paid late last night so it's now sold

    I've had these briefly on a couple of Precisions, but I'm better suited to bright flats so they didn't stay on for very long at all. The strings have hardly been played in but the ends are frayed from coming on and off, and the bridge end shows where they have been on a regular bridge and through body bridge. Great strings though, and the lighter gauge makes for less tension. £20 including My Hermes postage.

    [quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1462002756' post='3039413'] Do you remember the guage? Is the C string also Thomastik? And will you ship to Denmark [/quote] Hi, they are the regular thomastik gauge, they only do one on flats. I'll check out postage this afternoon and PM you. The high C is also thomastik. Cheers.

    [quote name='adriansmith247' timestamp='1461955051' post='3039161'] These are lovely strings. I just put a set on my 5 string otherwise I would take them. Bargain too! [/quote] Cheers Adrian, I'm a big fan too, got them on my P Bass and Stingray 5

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1461946218' post='3039046'] This is actually not a bad thing for bass, if you want to just balance your output across the strings a tad and add a little punch... [/quote] Well, Gilmour did play most of the best bass parts! Cheers

    I bought this in 1999, it was second hand then and belonged to Adrian Legg, (his name is written on it but is very faded now). Warm pedal, as used by Gilmour at one point. I've sold all my electric guitar gear, no point keeping this now. £30 posted My Hermes [URL=http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/Bits/image_zpsfqjxhb6z.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah227/chiliwailer/Bits/image_zpsfqjxhb6z.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/Bits/image_zpsx77lxo9t.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah227/chiliwailer/Bits/image_zpsx77lxo9t.jpeg[/IMG][/URL]

    Selling my old faithful tuner, we've had some great times over the years and this pedal would have some stories to tell if it could. But for the past year or two it's been in the drawer, waiting to get back on stage. Battered, but Boss, so will last the next millennia. Price includes My Hermes shipping.

    Selling a 2 month old 5 string set. These were on a Warwick Thumb 5 (and man did they sound great), I didn't cut them too short, but they would be better suited to a 3+2 tuner set up. If you like I can also throw in a high C string from another set that was only used for about 15 mins. I've just noticed a slight kink in the string since taking it off, it might come out under tension but I'm not sure in all honesty. Price includes My Hermes shipping.

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1461863059' post='3038334'] I hear '80 was a good year at Marlin, equivalent to '62 at Fullerton? [/quote] Shhh, or the prices will go up.

    [quote name='GCYPbass' timestamp='1461866562' post='3038374'] I won't miss it this time and it is £25 less [/quote] And, once you've had a fictional 'North American maple neck' you never go back...

    My Ozark acoustic bass that I've had since I was 16, so 22 years. Followed very closely by my Lull PJ4, very much hoping I never sell that one. Can't see why I would really.

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1461493569' post='3035049'] I used to like 70s Fender Precisions, have had 3, all were great. Loved the mojo about them having picked up a bit of wear along the way. But then in one of my fits of madness did a cull, sold them all and have gone for the post 2012 Precisions, having heard a soundclip on here - Spongebobs btw. Bought mine (a 2015) online, when it turned up was a bit concerned as for a while my fretting hand ached a bit, as the neck was a bit deeper than I was used to. Now having got used to it - only took a couple of weeks - I`m so glad I did it. The new Precision is a much better instrument, sounds better, plays better (all imo of course, might not be for others) and any wear that happens is going to be mine. I like it so much I`ve bought another, just for home use. So in my mind I like vintage instruments, and to the eye as well, but if honest, I`ve not yet played a vintage instrument I like as much as my 2015. It`s really changed my opinions on new instruments as was never that keen before, thought them too shiny and soul-less. I was wrong. [/quote] Great post Lozz
