  1. Furthering the cull of my heavier basses, this beauty is 9.7lbs and is causing me back pain unlike my lighter basses. A bit gutted as this bass looks and sounds great and is far too nice to live in my home studio only (got my beater P for that!) - it needs to be out to breath with the loads of tonal flexibility. This bass is also pretty much immaculate, only been used for a handful of times. Plays beautifully with an unusual combination of a rosewood/cherry fret board and a bit of Birdseye throughout too - a classy bass. F/S £300 collected, £340 with nice Gator case. Collection preferred but have a box and cheap old gig bag so could ship at buyers expense...estimate around £25 ish. F/T Looking for a Class D Amp of at least 700Watts + ( i need the headroom for a reggae project), preference for a more hifi modern type - could add around £300 ish to upgrade i.e. Genzler, Darkglass etc, or a Darkglass D112N cab. Typical G&L blurb: When Leo Fender† launched the G&L L•2000 bass in 1980, it was clear he was ready to make history all over again. Never before had such a wide range of tones come from a single bass, and throughout its evolution the iconic L•2000 has continued to win the hearts of bassists of every style and musical taste. The foundation of the L•2000 is a pair of G&L Magnetic Field Design humbuckers backed by the flexible Tri-Tone control system,* providing the sort of versatility that’ll let you find your tone no matter what kind of bass line you’re laying down. The Tri-Tone system features a trio of mini toggles for pickup selection, series/parallel signal routing and active/passive operation, as well as a trio of knobs for volume, treble and bass. With all that under the hood, Leo gave the L•2000 the kind of chops that’ll fit in any situation, from classic R&B to power-packed rock to poppin’ funk. What’s more, the L•2000 features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. The Tribute® Series L•2000 delivers the magic of Leo’s revolutionary bass at a price attainable for every working musician. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.
  2. Very chuffed with my second 1st Gen ME recently purchased from Thomann, can't believe it at only £349. It is also much lighter than a Sire in the same price range and the quality on this one is truly excellent, quiet electrics, a nice set up will low buzz free action, great fret work and a beautiful neck. Really happy with my decal job too
  3. Same boat, just ordered this evening...decal is the first job.
  4. Saddened to read this. He was top and friendly Basschatter.
  5. Having been through many amps I keep coming bass to the Orange Terror bass when it comes to class D. Something about their core sound. Does it for me…3rd time round 😂
  6. Selling off a few of my heavier basses that i don't gig anymore. This is a lovely Yamaha BB414, 9.4lbs weight wise, fresh Elites strings, a few marks here and there but nothing tragic. Plays and sounds great like a good BB should. Has an upgraded Wilkinson bridge, i have the original too if required but the Wilkinson is much better. Will also be selling the immaculate G&L L2000 in the last picture., £300 -can send more pics if required. May consider a trade for a lighter 4 string fretted bass on either. SOLD
  7. Decided this too good to let go! If anyone has a second to sell do let me know Having picked up a second Orange cab to go with my other this one is now surplus. A brilliant high spec cab, lightweight, excellent condition, 500w @ 8ohms, nice custom cover Specs here: https://www.darkglass.com/creation/dg112n/ £375 May consider an amp head 500w+ or bass trade, - can add a small bit of cash if necessary.
  8. Very sad, lovely chap and 100% Funkadelic.
  9. Funny how some basses sound dire at home, yet great in the live mix - and vice versa of course. So I’ve found this same phenomenon with my new Orange OBC112cab too - a little initially underwhelming at home, but my word at rehearsal it was thunderous, vintage sounds and just simply great. Now I’m thinking I may sell my Darkglass DG1x12 and get a second Orange….really didn’t see that one coming.
  10. Nice! Interestingly I’ve just ordered a OBC112, good deals at Promenade music. Looking forward to trying it out with my Terror bass. May sell my Darkglass 112 to get a second if I like it but the plan is to mix both initially.
  11. Awesome cabs. Would love these but the other side of the country - let me know if you go Devon way 😉
  12. Continuing the sell off of unused gear this fretless is now up for sale. A fairly well respected bass in its day, the 80's Vox White Shadow certainly has the fretless 'mwah' tone in spades. The good: The neck is beautiful and the truss rod was professionally repaired a few years back - actually i think there will be a thread on the repair lurking on here somewhere. Not sure what pickup i put in some years back but it seems good and it does have a Sandberg preamp fitted, Vol, Treble & Bass - push/pull for passive. Excellent 'mwah'...i mean really good 'mwaaaaaaah', lots of tonal variety too with the preamp. Plays nice, low action. Made in Japan. The bad: The body is 'dog rough'. It could do with a refinish although i used as is, albeit briefly when i found very quickly i couldn't play fretless well. It looks like it had a primer and was never completely finished. It was my intention to do it one day but never got around to it and then simply forgot. Stickers are easily removable. Cheap nice playing fretless if you don't mind the body. £130 posted in the UK, will knock some off if collecting from Plymouth.
  13. I got it from Etsy...our SouthWest, now Cali bound i beleive, Dr Funk inspired me. They're not cheap mind you.
  14. Trying to remove bias as the seller, in my view this does that 'David Eden' sound in spades - it's got that warmth but tight definition if that makes sense and like most Edens you just simply set everything flat and use the Enhance to add the magic. This EX speaker combination works really well too. I've recently setup up my WT550 and David Eden 4x10 in my home recording setup and it makes me proper smile, but it will get the gig rig for the right gig. That super light stuff is for rehearsals anyway right? 😂 mile
  15. It's a sweet sound mate. Both cabs are 8 ohm and i'm pretty sure this amp doesn't do 2 ohms.....just checked, 4ohm min for the WTX.
  16. Thanks, yes sure is and a bit of a bargain if people knew what they were getting. A new American Pro jazz will cost north of £1500 these days. The Nordstrands really sound great too. I’ve had some interest in fantasy social media land but it’s typically gone quiet, however they asked about the more traditional look. I took this photo with the various pickguards on I can swap out.
  17. Selling off 'good gear' that simply isn't getting used due to having too many amps/cabs etc. I'm also generally thinning my gear heard so will be selling a few bits over the coming months. Amp: Eden WTX 500 W amp, lovely Eden sound and 500W of goodness, lots of flexibility - the control knobs pull out to give extra tonal options - a great small light amp that i would keep if i didn't already own an Eden WT500 (favourite amp ever!), great DI tone for recording too IMO. Speakers: EX112 x 2, these have been gigged but are very solid indeed. Overall great speakers with whizzy cones, however one of the cones sounded a little 'buzzy' to my ears so i swapped out the speaker for a 300W SWR speaker and that sounds really good in this cab, perhaps a bit more bassy than the Whizzers obviously - but the both combined sound really solid and can go low but with a really nice top end due to the whizzy cone in the other cab, sounds pretty spectacular in fact for all genre's. When I inspected the removed whizzy speaker i could find nothing wrong, no loose whizzer, so this will be included in the sale too if collected. Specs: https://www.edenamps.com/product/ex112/ - sorry the whizzy speaker in the pics is on the bottom and in the dark a bit but can send specific pics of this if required. Would consider splitting as i happy to keep parts as i really rate this setup. Individual prices include postage within the UK. The 'All in' is for collection from Plymouth or could meet within a 50 mile radius. If wanting all couriered we'll have to work out a price on that but happy to consider this.... we all know how much Mrs Raslee loves her bombproof packing 😂
  18. So digging the Skints again lately -
