  1. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1502967026' post='3354697'] [i]There are none so blind as those who will not see..[/i] Missing out on a bargain... [/quote] Maybe the blind man is me!? The good thing is that I should have my 2nd BF One10 in a few days so I'll be able to hear how the TE head as well as my 'new' Magellan sound thru the 'vintage-coloured' compact stack. Can't wait!
  2. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1502988588' post='3354905'] Well, today's reason is an Ashdown MK500 which arrives in the morning [/quote] That sounds fair enough!
  3. [quote name='Brother Jones' timestamp='1502995036' post='3354965'] They didn't come with cases new (I bought a new one in 1988). GLWTS. [/quote] Thanks for the info Bro.
  4. [quote name='ch7' timestamp='1502966717' post='3354693'] Long story short. I use to own one of these beasties until it got in a bad way and I foolishly sold it on. How I regret that now. Because of all my years on that bass, my muscle memory developed to that style of neck. As you know most of the modern bass favour the very thin 'C' profiled necks which aren't as comfortable for those of us pinching the neck with larger hands. So here's my request. Could you post the major dimensions of the neck, so that any future searches will find this information? The thickness of the neck at the 1st & 12th and maybe the width of the neck at those positions. This information might help anyone moving from the smaller neck, or seeking the thicker profiled neck. Thanks - oh and consider this bumped. [/quote] Will do.
  5. Only used a couple of times so mint, unmarked - and squeaky-clean. Great pedal but don't really need it with the bass/amp set-up I've now got. I'll try and add a pic or two soonest - but it looks just like a new one does (honest) Price includes UK mainland delivery.
  6. Osiris - just ordered the Arachnid Audio pedal. Thanks again!
  7. Sorry Kev - I've unintentionally blundered into hijacking your thread. Actually (now I've read your topic title properly!) mine was different: it was an 'SG Re-issue' (2008). I'm not sure what the differences were but if the Gibson craftsmen (?!) hadn't changed in the intervening 12 months, then I'm sure yours is at least as good as mine was GLWTS
  8. That ain't no anapest - it's just a bit of fun!
  9. I've got 3 BF cabs (2 x One10s and a SC) that I've been using and liking with my TE AH300 SMC GP7. I also had a TC Electronic BH550 head as a backup for a while but that sounded just a little bit thin. The Genzler Magellan 800 I've just bought sounds very nice at home - I'll report back when I've done a few full rehearsals/gigs.
  10. After nearly 40 years of continuous TE ownership, my efforts to no longer have one seem doomed to failure as my TE stack is still languishing on the FS forum. Seems like there's no escape
  11. Happy Jack's a Basschatter-cum-poet (as we all may be but just don't know it) Any more want to try - make us laugh, make us cry? You can stick with the bass if you blow it. (I'll get me coat.)
  12. [quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1502944513' post='3354520'] Oh come onnnnnn, not even a little? [/quote] Not possible while you're playing the cajon (I know, I've tried ).
  13. I had the black one - absolutely superb!
  14. Your cajon/champion rhyme is much appreciated.
  15. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1502915094' post='3354403'] A neighbour has a Bulldog called "Chester" - if anybody asks "[i]where's Chester[/i]", they'll answer "[i]just off the M6[/i].." Nothing to do with your sale....just thought I'd say... [/quote] Hey B C, sorry - and surprised - this hasn't gone yet! (If I hadn't just blown £500 on something else, I would have been pm-ing you.) At least potential buyers now know which motorway to head for when they collect it.
  16. [quote name='Hanry' timestamp='1502896795' post='3354257'] If you grew a fifth string, it would not even be a minute's consideration. It would be a lovely big brother for my B2A but my search started with a P-Sounding 5-string :-) Still, I look at you at least once a day... [/quote] Just nice to know I've not been completely forgotten Jack
  17. Please buy me! Yours, Jack
  18. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1502815834' post='3353741'] Occupational hazard [/quote]
  19. Thanks Raggy - odd that the on-line specs give the info but not the manual supplied with the amp. Osiris - they look like nice switches but more expensive that the £16 my local dealer wants. Haven't seen his yet, as I only spoke to him on the phone. Maybe it doesn't have an LED, in which case I'll go for the Arachnid one. Btw, does the Magellan send power to the switch?
  20. The Magellan 800 I've just bought off this forum has 2 separate channels - clean and driven - that are selectable either via a push-button on the front panel or by plugging a footswitch in to a jack socket on the back. The manual says to use "any single-button footswitch" - but my local guitar shop asked whether I needed latched or unlatched. Beats me - anybody know?
  21. [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1502802201' post='3353616'] As the owner of two Barefaced cabs, both bought new by me with metal grilles specified, I have to disagree! Even a pristine cloth front reminds me of the dreadful old cabs that you used to see kicking around in the 70s and 80s with sagging fabric and/or bloody great rips across them. I really don't want to be reminded of that aspect of the 'good old days' at all! [/quote] +1 - invention of the devil!
  22. [quote name='fftc' timestamp='1502785573' post='3353442'] You can watch the videos back. You don't have to see them live. I think he said that there are no plans to update the cabs for now but he is working on an amplifier so will be watching for that. Be interesting to see what he manages to achieve. [/quote] I can understand why Alex would want to expand out of the very limited market of bass cabs. Guitar cabs, yes - but getting into amps could be a step too far. May look like an obvious expansion route for his business but development costs will be substantial and it's hard to see how he could bring as much to the amplifier party as he has done with the cabs.
  23. Wish my house looked like that
  24. [quote name='milesBguitar' timestamp='1502563394' post='3352244'] This is amazing! Love it [/quote] +1
