    Thanks for that, Al! I tried a longer strap the last time I gigged it actually, but it just seemed to make neck want to pull up as opposed to make it sit more naturally (to me anyways). Maybe I'll just have to get used to it! 🤷‍♂️

    Question for all of you gigging your spectors... How do you manage with, or did you adjust to the offset body (which I assume is caused by a shorter horn) ??? I tend to play with a pretty short strap, with basses usually pretty horizontal as opposed to diagonal, but the spector wants to sit off to the left or pointing upwards and it all just feels a bit "odd"

    I paid around £180 including prototypes and passive circuit etc, but this was a bespoke pick up made by a local tech, so I'd assume prices would vary by bass etc... The wiring actually goes through the tiny gap at the bottom of the neck pocket I believe... here's the bass before the pick up was fitted for reference 🙂

    Just got this beaut back from Dave Coates Audio in the North East today and I'm absolutely blown away... The neck pick up is a custom built super shallow pick up and is route free. It's as solid as it gets and works with the aguilar MM pick up tremendously! (The aguilar replaces the original EMG MMHZ, which I believed was an MMTW until he took it out and saw the sticker 🤷‍♂️) He's also taken the tone pump out and fitted a passive circuit... I approached Dave to see if he could route a space for a neck pick up, but he thought he could make a super shallow pick up that would avoid any damage to the bass... he wasn't wrong, and my mind is blown 🤯

    Sorry for the delay, Al! It was bought brand new from Bassdirect for what I thought was a very reasonable price, especially when I had the bass in my hands the next day and realised the quality! You're right though, I can't imagine ever letting this go, I imagine It'll replace my Sandberg and spector as #1. Appreciate the kind words about my rig as well, it's taken a few new amp days to come back to my first gigging head (literally the same amp I sold, bought back years later)... oops!

    I joined the yamaha BB club last week... genuinely blown away by both the build and tone, at any price point let alone a smidge above the price of a mex fender!
  14. thisisswanbon
    Sold elsewhere

    Regrettably selling my Tonehammer 500 Amp is 1 year old and in as new condition, as is the carry case, bought new from Andertons September 2018 Honestly one of the best sounding class D heads I've ever heard with a great warm faux tube tone with loads of mids detail, it's one of the heftiest class D amps you'll find and is literally made of air. Sounds unreal when paired with a pair of Aguilar 112's, but always sounded great through my barefaced 212 too. Amp is 500 watts into 4 ohms and very honestly rated, I've never wanted for more volume, and never had gain and volume past 12 o clock without front of house support in some fairly big rooms Price includes insured shipping Better pictures to follow...

    I was literally just going to make a post doubting my barefaced, and this was near top of amps & cabs; Spooky! Glad you're enjoying your cab, man! I've always sworn my Barefaced big twin 2 was the best cab I'd ever used (albeit after getting a suspected manufacturing fault repaired after buying pre owned and the fault not becoming noticable until trying to use it with a tonehammer amp, but that's another long winded story). I've used 3 different heads through it, and currently using a TH500, I found the tone a bit lacking in areas despite what I'd read, a bit bland and smooth... Played through a pals Aguilar rig at a wedding this week using a TH500 and a pair of GS112 cabs, and the difference was staggering! The mid detail and growl was phenomenal, it had serious clout compared to my rig, and it's the exact same head! Now wondering if I've backed the wrong horse 🤔

    Withdrawn from sale... going to look at pick ups etc instead of selling
  18. thisisswanbon
    Thanks for that mate! 😁
  19. thisisswanbon
    Fair enough mate 🙂 GLWTS.
  20. thisisswanbon
    Is local sale only?

    DELANO PJ pick up set for sale. Taken from a Sandberg California II VT4 as I've decided to go a different route tonally. Great sounding pick ups with a big modern tone. Can't find any for sale on the second hand market, or for sale as a pair new but the P pick up seems to go for £89 new on it's own... looking for £80 ono for the set plus postage Delano logos have rubbed away (except for the L's... Delano must make some pretty heavy duty L's)
  22. thisisswanbon
    Haha this is as low as it goes Damon pal...
  23. thisisswanbon
    Not really I'm afraid matey... feel free to PM what you had in mind, but I'm pretty set on a sale.
  24. thisisswanbon
    SOLD

    According to a friend in the know (Wilf of Ghost pick ups who removed it) this IS in fact a Glock pre-amp! Have edited to post to reflect
