  1. How about a thread from 2013 to cheer you up?
  2. Very little used since Covid, time to move it on. Comes with all the little bits of cabling etc. Condition is as near pristine as you're likely to find. Full specs are here: https://philjonesbass.net/cms/product-ha-1/

  3. Very decent piece of rack gear, equally suitable for studio or live use (I've used it both ways). The two multi-way cable clips on top are there by self-adhesive stuff and will remove. I found them useful enough to choose to leave them there for the new owner. The original box is present, as seen in the photos, but not the polystyrene inserts. I'll use bubble wrap for postage.

  4. Luxury! Why, when I were a lad ...
  5. I've been asked for dimensions on this amp: W = 21" D = 9.75" H = 9.25" (+ handle)
  6. I went the other way. https://www.thomann.co.uk/hoefner_shorty_violin_bass_bk.htm?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1581403900&gbraid=0AAAAADuDMCU5GOBhwVAGfp_YSSi159bAh&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkILEBhDeARIsAL--pjyExP3JGWHr1XKAM7xK294S-A993_Og9Trzzusp5rCVPRMatXrb1XYaAjB1EALw_wcB I always liked the idea of the Shorty Bass but that thing was just SO hideously ugly. Then a couple of years ago they brought out the Shorty Violin Bass and I thought, I have got to try that. Build quality is exactly the same as the usual Shorty, so it's just another well-made, mass-produced, Chinese instrument. And there's nothing wrong with that. They've kept the teacup knobs and the (truly awful) tuners from the original bass, but fitted a modern-style BBOT bridge with full-on 19mm spacing. It's ludicrously lightweight, balances fine, and is a complete hoot to play.
  7. Incidentally, I feel I have to point out that these were shot in September 2020, just before Lockdown #2 came over the horizon. The reason this matters is that I used Lockdown #2 as an opportunity to learn video editing so these two videos are pretty much the last I ever did before that. And they're both perfect, error-free "One-ers". Eat your heart out, Steven Spielberg ...
  8. The rather 'arch' comment early on about rubber straplocks @ped was a then-current reference to something under discussion on Basschat at the time.
  9. Oh looky looky looky what I've found - my original pair of NBD videos from five years ago!
  10. So here's a game I play roughly once a year. I list a whole bunch of gear for sale (really not wanting to sell any of it you understand) and once a few things have actually sold 😩 I let the remaining listings slide down below the radar. Until the next time. I'm not selling because I'm desperate for the money, and if I was John Entwistle then I'd just keep the lot and have an ever-expanding collection, but the reality is that over half my gear gets used very little, if at all. Common sense says that at least some of this lovely kit should get back out in circulation. I have no interest at all in trades. Replacing an amp or cab that doesn't get used with a different amp or cab that won't get used seems like a complete waste of time and effort. On the other hand, much of my kit is pretty non-standard or left-field and therefore hard to price, so I'm not absolutely wedded to the figure stated. I'm in Harrow HA1, close to Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line, and I gig regularly throughout Beds, Bucks, Herts & Middx, with occasional forays into Surrey. Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option. Here's the original blurb from 10 years ago: The aluminum specialists at Alusonic are getting into the bass cabinet world with the ALU112. Housed in an aircraft grade aluminum hardshell, the cab is loaded with a 12-inch aluminum cast frame woofer with a neodymium magnet. The ALU112 has an 8 ohm impedence with a nominal power handling of 400 watts RMS and continuous power handling of 600 watts RMS. The cab, which weighs in around 20 pounds, has rear bass ports and a top-mounted, recessed handle. It can be ordered with or without a one-inch compression driver, which would also add a 2.5kHz custom crossover with a variable tweeter control on the back panel. Other features include a frequency range of 32 hertz to 18 kilohertz, input and link Neutrik Speakon connections, and an epoxy-polyester finish. The Alusonic ALU112 is built in Italy. The price list for the standard version is approximately $869 while the cabinet with a tweeter goes for $995. This one has been daaaaaahn the lockup for a few months. Time to move on.
