These are up there with the US ones IMO. Bargain price this one.

I agree, they are superb.

Mine finally came yesterday- so far so good 👍🏻 haven't had a chance to donmuch fiddling yet, but I like how it can go from so subtle its hardly noticeable with everything at 7/8 to OTT with everything at 4/5.

The price ruins it IMO

This one was mine and I can assure you all it is marvellous!

If it wasn't for me needing money to put into the Rickenbacker fund, I would still have it.

Is this my one Karl?

send me an offer somebody!!!

someone make me an offer

I recognise that pickup!!!

Looks lovely. I love the oil finish and I agree - no pickguard is the way to go here.

The big pre-uni gear cull has hit hard my friends.

Up for sale is my Fender Rumble 500 Head. Owned since new but now have no need for it as I have no cab and am going to Uni.

Awesome sounding bass amp with 500w of power and weighs basically nothing. Sounds great and super loud.

Currently without bass cab, so no real need for this.

Will trade for a semi acoustic/335-style electric guitar.

Comes with gigbag and UK delivery included.

Anyone is welcome to try it out in Castle Bromwich - just bring a cab as the Orange below had to be sold too.

Orange Cab sold!!!

Fender Head - £260 inc. P&P

do we have any idea on price yet?

Up for grabs is my Epi Thunderbird Classic in Arctic White with Epiphone hardcase. Bought this on a whim wanting to be Jared Followill but the sound is a bit dark and bass-y for me. Plays well and doesnt dive as much as people would have you believe.

Full specs are here:

The basses set you back about £389 these days, and the cases a further £99. Bag a bargain!

Trades wise I would accept part ex's for an electric with some cash my way - especially looking for decent Telecasters of the Squier variety.

I'll send pictures on request.

Tah.

Price drop - £250 for the bass, £30 for the case or £275 together collected from B36 Birmingham.

Niall bought my Seymour Duncan pickup from me. All went smooth as a babies you know what and he even went to the effort of giving an update for where the pickup was going - great bloke.

Deal with confidence.

thats fupping gorgeous

you shouldn't even need my luck to sell it.

Out of curiosity, what do they call that shade of green?

if my memory serves me correct they are D'addarios - hard to tell which ones as chrome/nickel/steel all look the same to my eyes 

I wish I mever sold mine now 😔 I might get some more and put them in my jazz, then sell on the SDs that are in there at the minute

Sorry if this is the wrong place or if this has already been covered,

does amyone know of any West Midlands-based luthiery courses? The kind of thing you turn up for a few hours each week and learn a new thing on how to make, set up, maintain, repair, etc. instruments?

It is something I want to get into learning, and while there are a plethora of online guides that covers pretty much everything, I find nothing beats actually seeing someone do it and talk you through it.

Cheers,

the 60s Jazzmaster is a bit of me, even if I'm hopeless with guitar 😅

Will be interesting to see how they price up to other US made Fenders, especially the non-standard and AVRI stuff.

oof I want it

There's a few articles online on how to do it. I had originally contacted @Chienmortbb about doing the mod, but he hasnt got back to me yet.

Just as an update:

Have bought a Marshall ED1 for a very reasonable price with a view to change out the capacitors in it. I have read a few tutorials online and it is as simple as unsolder cap, fit new cap, solder.

Only problem is I don't have a soldering iron. Or any experience soldering...

Still, these are meant to be great compressors for next to no money, so needless to say I am very happy 😊

why do all the things I've had GAS for over the last 12 months all pop up in the same week when I have no money. Urghhh

So,

I currently run as my main amp a Fender Rumble 500 head into an Orange OBC410 Cab. It is an amp/cab combination that I spent hours choosing in PMT this time last year, and I have to say I love the sound of it as much now as I did then. What I'm not too keen on is the weight of the Orange Cab. Also, 500w and a 4x10 is huge overkill for my current needs as a non-gigging bassist playing in my bedroom, but I don't want to downsize too much as I am looking at getting back into the gigging scene in the near future.

So, does anyone know of a good replacement for the OBC410 that won't break my back or my wallet? I suppose budget will be whatever OBC410s sell for second hand.

Or, I suppose the secondary question: Does anyone know of an easier way of transporting a 91lb Cab up and down the stairs from my room into the car when needs be?

Personally I'd wait until the next screaming match happened and then bang on their door and tell them to shut up because it's really off-putting while you're trying to play your bass. Then go back to your amp, put it on as loud as you can stomach and face it to the adjoining wall, and repeatedly play the same note for a solid few minutes. If they complain just say you had to put it loud to hear it over their antics.

Mike bought my bitsa PJ from me last weekend. Top bloke, great comms. Deal with confidence.

still at this price on G4M so I've bought one as part of my pedal board overhaul will replace my Tone City Angel Wing (guitar chorus). Hope its as good as the reviews, but at the price it's hardly a big loss 😅
