    I think it’s a cracking colour too. Also in agreement re: hardware and headstock. An ebony board would have looked great too.

    Have to admit I’ve absolutely no need for another bass at all, and particularly given the current state of play and as I’m playing shorties only for band stuff now. That said it’s been years since I’ve had an MM or MM style bass and I can’t find a good reason to not go for one of these and may well do so in the next couple of days.

    The one clip that I remember him playing bass on from years back was from the short lived C4 music show The White Room. Sure that’s somewhere on YT. But regardless, as above, one of those musicians that seemed great on anything he played...

    I can roll with most things, but amp overhang is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.

    Same body wood I think (alder). I put it down to the hardware. The difference isn’t huge but definitely noticeable between my two.

    Lovely basses. Absolutely love mine and weigh in a bit less than the standard Mex PJ Mustangs IME too. GLWTS, not that you’ll need it...

    Downside is with this you’ve got to dig the Hofner violin style. Seem to be plenty who rate the HB stuff, no experience of this myself though. Regardless, it definitely ticks the ‘cheap’ box... https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_beatbass_fl_vs_vintage_series.htm?o=5&search=1603610928

    That Mick Fleetwood’s let himself go.

    That looks in great condition. Love my Ripper to bits, alas mine was fairly well beaten and modded before it came to me. A tip top one has been on my wish list since.

    Appears this may be in stock (assume it’s been more recently added if so). Weren’t these more than a grand new?!? https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/pre-loved-tc-electronic-blacksmith-bass-head

    Needs tidying up a bit but I’m finally somewhere approaching happy with my dual rig board for my bass/drums two piece.

    I had success, but then I only ordered a used distortion pedal that I collected from Birmingham PMT on Saturday, and a Black Rat hard case, which arrived yesterday. Looks like they rather messed this up though. With so much of the listed sale stock being secondhand/B stock their website really should have been up to the task of real time updates with so many ‘one in stock’ items. The lack of this has no doubt caused them a headache and annoyed punters in the process.

    Had an Ashdown ABM 414T (4ohm 4x10) a good few years back now and man, that was absolutely exquisite. Glass back means I can only do lightweight now, and I must say that my Barefaced Two10 is on a par as my favourite ever cab. Crazy power and superb articulation for such little weight.

    First time in a long while I’ve seen a PMT sale at prices that look like sale prices. Some cracking deals in there for sure.

    I think a fully ‘nice clean tone’ doesn’t really completely happen with octave up effects ever in my experience. That said, I’ve tried a few, largely as I’m in a bass/drums duo where I’m doing a dual channel thing with one being an octave up with distortion. As a result I don’t use the effect clean much, but when I’ve experimented I’ve found the T-Rex Quint Machine to have the better, more natural clean octave up sound of those I’ve tried. It’s a very capable pedal generally as it does a fifth above and octave down too. I’ve also tried the octave up on the Digitech Ricochet (very artificial so wouldn’t recommend if ‘natural’ is your thing, though actually I generally use it for 2 octave up stabs and that’ll always sound synthetic!). Also had the mkii Mooer Tender Octaver for a while. The mkii is still similar to a POG in terms of its octave up sound but still comes some way behind the Quint. YMMV though. Have heard the TC Sub n Up get some decent props too though haven’t tried one. Yet...

    Blimey, great price. Wish I had use for it just now...
  17. mr4stringz
    Also, don’t discount the Revelation bass vi. They’re stupidly good for the price they can be picked up for (got mine used for about £220 from memory) and are a very capable starting place.
  18. mr4stringz
    I had mine paired with a TC Electronic RS212. Not the smallest cab, but not enormous either, and not a backbreaker for weight. Sounds pretty damn good. Gone down the BF route recently so will be moving the TC on actually...
  19. mr4stringz
    This.
  20. mr4stringz
    Looks to be a Lull judging by the headstock.
  21. mr4stringz
    There’s a Behringer one (MX400 I think it’s called) that’s a 4 channel mixer, so more than you need, but will sort this with aplomb for less than £20.
  22. mr4stringz
    I know there aren’t many of us gigging just now but how these ABMs aren’t getting snapped up at prices like this I don’t know. Such great amps. I’ve got an ABM400 that I’ve not been using lately but with prices as they seem to be there’s no way I’m moving it on. GLWTS anyway...
  23. mr4stringz
    Think mine came out at £469 delivered. The price was lower (started at £529 I think) when they had the restock initially and that dropped further and further over a period of a few days. Then I got lucky with a 5% discount voucher too.

    Russian Circles. I've been listening to them loads over the last 12-18 months and massively so since lockdown and while plenty will find the whole instrumental post-metal thing lacking something I love them. Lots going on for a 3 piece too.

    Have to say after all the horror stories I was relieved that my purchasing experience from order to delivery was Absolutely fine. The bass? Well, I’m not sure if I’ve just been unlucky but it’s the second MIM PJ Mustang I’ve bought (12 mths or more apart) and both have had issues on delivery. On the first one (domestically purchased) the pickup selector connection was dodgy, and on this one the jack socket is faulty. Fortunately it’s something fairly minor thing so I’m fixing it myself rather than trying to utilise some/any after sales service from Bax and invoke the warranty. Seems way too much hassle given their location too. Other than that issue I’m very happy with it. It’s lighter than my other PJ Mustang, presumably due to the different bridge and tuners. Will move to number one status in my current band once I’ve sorted the little issue out.
