  1. Been listening to a load of Colin Hay from Men at work since the first lockdown and over the last few weeks he has been posting MAW`s catalogue that he recorded with his newer version of the band. Some really good stuff and they are a great band.
  2. NOW SOLD Sennheiser HD 599 for sale only. Got as a present but I prefer my AT headphones so they have only been used a couple of times so in very good condition. Will post to UK mainland only for £40 but will knock off the postage if you can collect from me. No trades thanks.
  3. SOLD Fender Player P bass in the classic black and maple finish. Very good condition, Tonerider pickup, one of Kiogon`s solderless looms fitted so easy to swap the pickup, Gotoh Japan bridge, tort guard, original white one included. I don`t have the original bridge or pickup. Weight is 3.8 kg or 8.3 lb`s. Collection from Paisley or localish meet up preferred and I will knock off the postage or I will post UK mainland only for £490. Please note if you req postage I won`t be able to ship until Friday the 2nd onwards.
  4. I`m beginning to think that it`s me that UPS don`t like....
  5. A few years back, I sold an amp to a guy from the Cumbernauld area who played in a Free tribute band called Tons of slobs. Always thought that was a cool twist on the album name. I seem to remember he played a Stingray 5 fretless, not an EB in sight!
  6. I like how it says in the advert "Frets have been sanded to a "fretless wonder" style so it plays with a nice low action." In other words gubbed!
  7. I wouldn`t get too excited about them using UPS. Ordered a pedal from Thomann on Sunday, got a shipping conformation on Monday saying UPS were collecting. Since then I have had 2 updates that say "Your parcel was cleared after the scheduled transport departure. We will reschedule for the next available departure. Frankfurt, Germany" This happened on the 23 rd and again today. If I could have bought the pedal here I would have. Thomann used to be so good you could set your watch by them but not now.
  8. I have the 715 and on the 2 occasions I manged to use it I was happy with it. I bought s/h MXR bass di to use through it and it`s got sod all output (not sure if it`s working right as the output is very low) compared to the ART Mic pre I was using before as a di with a pedal in front of it. But you are right, it`s rather a large box. I have a Sadowsky SP B1 di pre amp coming next week from Thomann for £134 delivered so I will try that into the 715 and then it will be: bass - tuner - Sadowsky - RCF
  9. Looks great in that colour mate. Give me a shout when your are moving it on!
  10. I recently bought a Squier affinity P bass for £200 and the fret work was better than a recent Yamaha purchase in that I had to get the edges of the frets on the Yamaha dressed. Call me crazy but when you are spending £500 on a bass, things like the frets should be spot on.
  11. Those 4 tw*ts called The Beatles that ripped off the Real Kings of Merseybeat, The Rutles
  12. Sorry I can`t show it as the dog ate it. Or was that my homework?
  13. So, this is the wrong night to put my Pensa Jazz up for sale in the forum is it?
  14. I have used APC through OverlandExpress with good results, usually around £30 for UK to UK insured. But check the hard case re the insurance as some specify it must be in a hard case wrapped in cardboard. Nice bass by the way.
  15. @dub_junkie is looking for one of these in the wanted section.
  16. Just noticed when putting it in it`s box, there is a small crack in the laquer at the neck pocket. Because of this the price is now £110 delivered.
  17. NOW SOLD Here is a 2 piece alder Northwest guitar P body. Finished in a natural finish for your John Deacon project! Fitted with a tort pickguard and a hi mass bridge both from NW guitars. Please note, there was another bridge fitted and there is a couple of holes under the bridge so no good if you are looking to fit a BBOT bridge but as you can see, they are not seen with the type of bridge fitted here. The body is in vgc just one small mark on the edge under the tone control knob which can`t be seen from the front and I can see one very small ding on the rear of the body near the bottom. The weight is 2.5 kg or 5.5 lb`s. The neck pocket is the correct size for a Fender neck and I had a Nate Mendel Mexican neck fitted and it was a perfect fit. The neck pocket is listed below. I`m looking for £120 posted in the UK, if you want to collect from me in Paisley I will knock off the postage. Material: 2-piece alder Body thickness: 44mm (1 3/4") Neck pocket width: 62mm (2 7/16") Neck pocket depth: 17mm (43/74") Control cavity depth: 38.5mm (1 33/64") Pickup cavity depth: 17mm (43/64") Finish: Polyurethane
  18. I agree with this point 100%! Or do I disagree with this point 100%?
  19. You should be able to find out how much power that the pedals need and then get a suitable power supply. Do check first as Badhands says above, some pedals use different kinds of power such as centre positive and such like. The 1 Spot I posted above is fine for me as my needs are simple and straight forward (3 9v 100ma pedals) but it is still a decent power supply but I would avoid the (sometime) cheap power bricks that you can buy from Amazon, E bay etc.
  20. As above, another lovely bit of kit from John. Ta!
  21. Thats bad re the state of the bridge. I bought a Gotoh bridge that looks reliced but works as it should. It cost 50 quid though and is expensive for what it is.
  22. The way I look at it, if you are being paid for a gig you should always have a back up. £80 odd quid for a Harley Benton PB 20 just to leave in the car or in a corner. It might never happen but if something goes wrong with your bass and you can`t repair it (and it can happen no matter how well you look after your gear), you will look like a right plonker without a back up. I even take 2 to a rehearsal in a Gator double gig bag.
  23. I could be wrong but if you get a daisy chain cable, you can run a few pedals via the boss tuner? Funnily enough, I just bought a 1 Spot combo pack from Guitarguitar that can run 8 standard pedals from the one plug, cost £35. Cheaper than a brick power block but no good for some kinds of pedals.
  24. Don`t know about that Jack. I sold 2 basses in a shop within 5 days that sat on here for a few weeks with less interest than a HSBC bank account. Granted the shop will take their commission but they went. If you price them right people are still buying.
