It was 6 or 7 years ago but I ordered my blue sparkle Modulus Flea from Beaver and the guys at Bass Central. TBH, aside from my usual string order from the geezers at String Busters, it's been one of the best online deals I've done. Ordered it on the Monday evening after some emails between me and the shop and then a phone call and the UPS guy was delivering it on the Thursday. Considering the distances involved, it was mightily impressive, especially considering that my experience of most UK retailers at that time was that most of them struggled to get stuff to me within the week. Glad that times have changed. Anyway, I digress. Beaver and his team are seriously knowledgeable, very customer focused and ultimately nice relaxed folks. In terms of import taxes etc, UPS took the payment which, from what I can recall, may have been £150 to £200. Still a great deal on what would have been an impossibly expensive (and hard to get hold of) bass this side of the pond. T

The only problem purchase (touch wood) I've had over the years is a Gumtree one. Brought a pedal off some f*ckwad who invented excuse after excuse over three or four weeks after I paid him. Eventually called Gumtree who marked his account as fraudulent thus calling in the law and lo-and-behold, the pedal magically arrived in due course. Sometimes pays to call them up. Ultimately, they want to keep the brand "clean" so will be just as keen to get rid of any shannagans.

FCLEF bass 5 strings custom series '70 USA SOLD
tonyf replied to Alberto-72's topic in Basses For Sale
Just adore the FClef stuff. They're doing some exceptionally amazing basses. -
What an absolute bargain for such great pickups! If I wasn't all EMG'd up in (virtually) everything I own, I'd have these. Bump :-) -
Just caved after weeks of ummming and arrrring. Brought my ticket for Sunday as I was "convinced" by a couple of mates going down from West Middle Englandshire. Was going to do Saturday but I've got a gig on Saturday night and would rather not be late back for that. Not that getting up at "WTFO'Clock" on the Sunday to hit the road, Jack.

Just watched a bit of it on YouTube. Well, when I say a bit of it, I mean the bits that I know would have interested me. Hey, lets face it, I am at work so watching the complete show would be taking the mick Anyway, thought the Pharrell Williams / Nile Rodgers collaboration was suitably brilliant pop music. IMHO, anything that Nile does is always pretty special so I guess that's already a given. However, What I absolutely loved was Bruno Mars doing "Trevor". Again, top class pop music, a great performance by a talented performer and band and man oh man, Jamareo Artis is SUCH a great player. On the outro, the band stretch out a bit and he's throwing in some really cute lines but never sacrificing the song. Genius bass'ing there by the lad.

My favourite pickup "dealer" Alan comes up trumps again! Brought a set of EMGs off Alan. Great comms, prompt dispatch and wrapped as safely as a REALLY safely-wrapped thing. Deal with total confidence. Cheers Alan, thanks a million. T

I brought Dave's Steinberger and couldn't have wished for a better deal. Great comms, swift dispatch and fantastically safe packing. Would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Dave, loving the cricket bat ;-) T

Great idea, one of those "this is so simple and genius, why didn't I think of it" jobbies. And you know what? I'm gonna copy your M82 settings later and get the "Fionn Funk" [size=4] [/size]

That was awesome. A lesson to us weekend function/covers warriors. -
Hi all, [color=#ff0000]WITHDRAWN whilst I reconsider my backline requirements.[/color] For sale, or preferably for trade, my GB Streamliner 900. Re: the trade, bit of a long shot but I'd like something a bit more "cleaner" and less "warm" so I was wondering if there's anyone out there who'd be interested in trading their EBS Reidmar or a GB Shuttle 9.0/9.2. Had the Streamliner for a couple of years and it's been fantastic but I'm doing more functions now with the soul/r&b/disco/funk so could do with a change. The STM sounds flipping awesome with my Berg but I'm just after something a bit different, a bit more "EBS'esque" perhaps. I've got an EBS HD350 which I love and having a Reidmar (or Shuttle) for rehearsals/small gigs would be ace. It's in great condition (only ever lived in my gig-skinz bag) save for a minor scratch from a misplaced lead on the upper surface. Original box included. Pics.....

Bobby indeed is the man. As already stated, he's got the tone, the technique and such feel. Fabulous.

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1390472036' post='2345702'] Do it man! ... best envelope filter out there [/quote] What he said [size=4] [/size] -
I'm ummmining and arrrrrring (that's brummie for thinking it over) at the moment. Really want to see the Maruszczyk Instruments basses as I know Adrian has said he is exhibiting. However, having done various guitar shows over the years when I worked in retail, my blood runs cold at though of the smell of grease paint and the roar of the crowd. Or the roar of the grease paint and the smell of the crowd. Anyone going to convince me it'll be worth coming along if I buy some new knuckle dusters and charge the taser? [size=4] [/size]
