The ability to kick in a bit (or a lot) of grind would be beneficial tbh so yeah, I would probably favour the OB over the 4 stroke. Good food for thought there though!

Cheers doomed, Using a Terror Bass combo at present so versatility over the TB is a plus for sure...

Hey all, Considering a new amp, Orange OB series (probs 500w) in the running. Any of you lovely lot own one, tried one or have any experience with them generally? cheers

Bought a power brick from Andy. Great comms, quick delivery and superbly packed. Excellent all told! 😀

Bought a Vintage fretless. Really smooth transaction. No messing, great communication. Arrived on time and as described. All good. 100% awesome.

Thanks all for your views. Went for the Vintage in the end, one having come up on here, having been just about to pull the trigger on one of the HBs. Looking forward to getting back to it now!

Some great stuff there to keep me investigating. Big thanks to those who have offered responses and guys... keep them coming. Lost in a world of GAS with time to kill!!!

After many years of not playing fretless I’m considering dipping my toe back in the water, and so I’m after suggestions for a good, solid and decent fretless. Lower end of the cost spectrum would be good as not convinced I’ll stick at it but want to give it another go. I’m mostly a Fender player and have had a brief look at (but yet to try) the Squier VM fretless P, and the Vintage Jaco tribute thing. Any opinions on these out there guys? Any others worthy of consideration in a similar budget? Lined would be ideal (hahaha) but not essential. Cheers.

Crikey, that’s beautiful!

Yes, absolutely my experience through owning a TB500 is as per dannybuoy’s advice. It’s a cracking rig with the 2x12s but the flat position on the amp makes no sense, which incidentally I find rather wonderful! I’m not one for too much treble in my tone and love a big, beefy bass heavy tone but anything past 9 o’clock on the bass dial on the TB is excessively bassy.

Couldn’t find an open thread so thought best I open a new one... Bought an Epiphone Rumblekat off Steve. great price, great condition. Agreed a meet part way between our locations. Taking into account the festive period and as we did the deal in New Year’s Day Steve was a pleasure to interact with. Great comms, nice and easy, good bloke. Buy with confidence, BCers.

Just received pedal. Communication great. Transaction completed Monday night and here I am on the Wednesday having received it. Great stuff and pedal as described. A1.

Thanks v much for this Richard and Tontee. TBH I’m not sure on the speakers at this point as the guitarist has them in storage. So far as I know they are passive. And thanks, yes, a mixer and an amp is needed. I shall return once I have the info suggested above! Bass gear I’m fine with this stuff though, over my head! thanks again guys ??

Hey all. been a good long while since I’ve been in a band that needed a lockup, but my current band is now looking at going down this route. Things have moved in a lot since the big old Peavey brick I had years ago...so...Any suggestions or recommendations for a decent quality mixing desk? Budget sub-£300 if at all possible. Got decent speakers so it’s just the board we need. Analogue preferably. We don’t plan on mic’ing gear up so it’ll only be needed for 3 vocal mics and needs enough oomph to hold its power with a reasonably loud one guitar, bass and drums set up. Thanks in advance.

If they still haven’t refunded you contact your card issuer. Whether credit card or debit card you have chargeback rights regardless; effectively your bank would contact the merchant’s bank under chargeback rules to obtain refund of the sum due to goods not being delivered. Hope that helps.

More good stuff there dudes. Close to pulling the trigger on one of 3 or 4. Going to go with a cheaper option first I think. The Marshall looks interesting. On the subject of (very) cheap and cheerful, anyone got any thoughts on the Belcat trem?

Having owned a (modern) Ricky for a while I wouldn’t go B-D on one personally as tonally I don’t find they have enough resonance or beef at the low end. Just my opinion though but Ricky’s are all about the bite, mids and highs for me. I string both my Precisions B-D though. Wouldn’t have it any other way and find it works beautifully for heavy rock, stoner and doom.
