    Both tidy amps but you should also consider the BAM 200 prior to a final conclusion. Take a look at the threads which consider the inuds of all three offerings at this price point.

    Thanks for the heads up on these @fleabag mine arrived today, great bit of kit at such a great price.

    +1 I fitted an Artec EBC-4 to my reissue Epiphone Newport bass and it adds so much more of the 60's & 70's Gibson EBO/EB3 low end to the Newport. The combination of the EBC-4 and the stock TB Pro bridge Pup offers a very wide range of tone colours with the simplicity of balance control. The Artec EBC-4 is a great upgrade for any EBO /EB3.

    These are fantastic combos, designed by the SWR Guys after Fender acquired the SWR company. Well designed, based around the Super Red Head IIRC, rugged, reliable with huge H×ft. A great, new/old stock, vintage combo at a very reasonable price. GLWTS.

    Hi Mike, what is the model number for that case? Cheers, JohnDB

    Nope. It appears to be using the humbucking PUPs used on the Squier Tele Bass. They appear to be a modern ( lower cost?) version of the PUPs used on the '72 Fender Telecaster bass. The Squier Tele bass PUPs had a much wider tonal range than the originals, an extended top end but lower output. I love the '72 PUPs I have on an all original '72 Fender Telecaster Bass and also an original '72 PUP graphed into a Mike Dirnt MIM bass. I would be very happy to own one of these Squier Rascals.

    Just took delivery of a Fender FS610 Short Scale Bass Gig bag and it fits my G&L Fallout Tribute bass and my Epiphone Newport bass perfectly. It also is a cosy fit for my 32ins scale SpectaRayVibe Bitsa bass. Happy Days☺️

    This looks amazing, almost the perfect one-stop-amp-in-a box. (only missing a HPF) The advantage of loading personal IRs really adds to the proposition. I will probably wait for the Behringer clone to surface sometime next year!! ( BDI21 has been a great little tool)

    Lovely combos, great sound, loud as hell and built to last. Still got mine, bought new from Sound Centre Cardiff, although I changed the speaker to an Eminence Kappa 15 300w 4 Ohm back in the 80's. Still have the original square magnet 100w Eminence driver. A true 70's iconic amp. GLWTS.

    Make sure you wash your hands well before entering the Holy of Holies and picking up that magnificent instrument. It's a joy to absorb that first sight of your new "Babe" ENJOY

    For sale is one of my two Barefaced Super Comact 1 x 12 cabs. In immaculate condition having only been used singularly with my Fender Rumble 500 or in a pair with the Mesa Subway D800. Great cabs with an excellent reputation with all the specifications on the Barefaced audio site.

    For sale is my Fender Kingman V1 acoustic bass. It lives in it's case under the under the bed in the spare room in a smoke free home. This is the 34 ins scale Jazz neck acoustic with a Fender branded Fishman pre, tuner and piezo bridge pickup. Unplugged it's the loudest acoustic bass I have ever heard and when connected the onboard notch filters produce a rich, genuine, authentic tone without the feedback. It's in immaculate condition and it simply does not get the use it should following the rundown of a number of acoustic jams locally.

    The pickguard was made by Brian Pillans of https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/earlpilanz An absolute perfect fit and adds a bit of vintage vibe reminiscent of my ’69 EB3 and SG basses. The Hipshot Supertone bridge is great, I have previously fitted a 3-point gold one to my Epiphone Rumble Kat, so I knew what to expect BUT I did not expect the fixing bolts to have an Imperial thread. The 3-point bridge is shipped with both M8 Metric and SAE Imperial threaded fixing bolts but since Hipshot’s target market for the 2-point bridge is old Epiphone and Gibson basses they only include the SAE fixing bolts. Marcus at Bass Direct sorted the problem and it now appears that in future Hipshot will be shipping both types on the 2-point Supertone bridges. ( got an email from Oscar Yuan at Hipshot confirming it). Happy days 😄
