Just to post another choice to Herc stands - which are as good as have been described for non-symmetrical bodies - I have this one as well:

Works just as well and folds down smaller, too. Better leg locking mechanism, to boot.

Surely, Golden Lady?

May I throw Leigh on Sea / Southend into the mix? Lots of gigs in the area, and a knowledgeable live music crowd.



Also, London village is a train ride away.

I had one, a '73 Marshall 1979, for years. I sold it to another Basschatter quite recently.

They are hard to move and store, but do exude vintage cool on a venue's stage. It sounded very deep, very loud, very vintage. Not exactly Hi-Fi...

I used to use an old Laney DP300 head to power it, which was a good fit for it. They do need an amp with sufficient 'heft' (sigh) to get them Greenbacks working.

No-one mentioning Bergantino HD112s? Well, I will....

Whilst I'm aware this has probably been written 1000 times, but a key decision here is deciding what sort of speakers you like - i.e. Neodymium, Ceramic, Ferrous, etc...

If I'm not mistaken, your GK cab is likely to be a Neo driver, the same as those in the CMD102P. This suggests perhaps you might like Neo cabs - but it's worth getting out there and having a listen / play. Visiting somewhere like Bass Direct is a worthwhile endeavour, as you get to A/B different cabs and amps in a useful and bass-friendly way.

Playing a lot of finger-style funk / soul / rhythm and blues myself, I value the articulation, warm clarity and bottom end response I get with my pair of Bergantino HD112s. They are currently run with a Mark Bass LMK providing the power, EQ flat. You're looking at an RH750 to power your rig - IMO, that head isn't very transparent. Even so - try stuff, see if it works. As GrammeFriday says, if you like the RH, try a TC cab - the new K Series are nice, look cool and are quite wallet friendly.

The thing about this place is that you could try some different combinations of stuff in the For Sale section, and see what works for you...

That's very sad to hear. A good bass player by all accounts, and that's no way to go.

YHPM...

Has this gone?

****SOLD****

This still for sale...?

I still have one! A4 Custom-SP. I like mine a lot, and it's purrrdy. Yes, that's a T-Bird in my avatar. Ahem....

I don't particularly like playing the 'as good as a bass worth X times more' game as so often it's horses for courses. I think it gives a great sound, has a great feel and comfortable. Can be very P-like if needed, but also can give more 'active' tones with a small adjustment. Not a super slim neck, but nicely navigable.

Personally, I like the Bart preamp - although it's interesting Cort have gone a to a Mark Bass preamp now, as has been mentioned. I find it a versatile preamp, with enough there to both shape and boost as required - but the blend pot is often as much as is needed, I find. I must say I appreciated the preamp more when I went to my current (Berg/MB) rig. I could 'hear' what the bass was sounding like in a way I hadn't before.

Hope that helps. If the OP wasn't at the other end of the country, I'd offer a lend....

I have just bought Paul's Vantage Standard II.

Bass was as described, and Paul was a lovely chap to meet. Kind enough to let me meet him at his band rehearsal, and even try the bass on his rig. Even dropped the price due to changing from a hard to soft case. What a top chap!

In short, buy/sell/trade with confidence - as the previous tens of reviews have said.

Thanks!

A question on the three point bridge, if I may - is that the same size as a Gibson/Epi three point bridge?

If I lived anywhere near Newcastle upon Tyne, you'd have sold this.....

Is there no postal option?

I use exactly the OP's setup in my 5pc funk band - but with real drums. TBH we've not put either kit or me through the DBR10s, but they give a broad frequency response, based on their performance with playback. Certainly loud enough for vox/keys mons, with good throw.

Now that's a damn good song, right there....

Hi Sonny,

GLWTS, long been a fan of the 44-64 Custom - AKA the Duck Dunn Signature. Not enough of them around!

Out of interest, do you know why the neck doesn't have the 70's J style blocks and binding, and the body colour headstock? It looks like the neck off of a Joe Osborn, with those 'aged' inlays. I also didn't think the non-PJ 44-64 custom came with a tort pickguard, but I guess that's easily been changed.

As for sound, think P-Bass punch with a slimmer, sweeter neck. The model was developed for Duck by Lakland as he found a P-Bass neck got uncomfortable over long sets as he got older. I imagine it was also a way to not have to take out valuable relic basses on the road, as is common practice nowadays.

It'll never sell.



It's collection only.....

Hi all,

Just confirming that this item is still for sale. For £170, inc flightcase.

Thanks!

Price drop bump - £170, including a fitted flightcase...?

Will definitely take offers or entertain trades-type bump.

Like the man Bert says, should be fine. I don't think LEDs themselves give off RF interference, but controllers sometimes can. I would say the only way to know is to give it a bash.

Best of luck!

Here we are again!

Bump...
