    Have you ever used this on it's own in a rock setting without PA support? I'm quite interested in one of these but just wondering if it's up to the task...

    I play with rock blues bands and it does well to hold its own with them. I'm not talking big stages/outdoor festival stuff, just indoor music clubs etc gigs. Depends how loud your bands are? 

  2. Selling one of my impressive Barefaced 12” cabs, maybe to get a 2x12 at some stage. These cabs have a big sound especially when paired up to another cab, love the single cab for smaller gigs and tiny stages. It’s super lightweight and can go loud with an impressive clear low end. I’ve only gigged it a few times, there were a few small minor knocks on the thin front side edges, probably the one drawback of having these lightweight cabs and no cover. Don’t know postage rates, collection welcome or meet up A3/M25 or A3 south coast area is okay for me.

  3. Now SOLD  

     

    I have these four pots to move on. I’ve more than likely taken them from old (like 1970’s old) Fender basses that the owners wanted new stuff put in and they’ve been stored in a sealed box for many years. They all turn without any hindrances internally.

    I’ve tried to price via looking at online sites which has been difficult, ranging from £18 to £35 each….so I’m putting them out there at a ‘medium’ price of £60 for all of them to include postage…

    .A) I hope someone would need them and B) that the price suits….let me know if you are interested please.

  4. Asking £35 (not £42 ….can’t seem to change that particular part of script?)

     

    I've got a set of these in that 'spares' box and apart from a few very minor surface marking, they look virtually unused, maybe I tried them on a new bass but preferred the usual black ones that I often use .

    Basically as new...All the parts and chrome securing screws are present but not the original box.

    The link below should show the specs/sizes, I think it shows that they weight around 60g per tuner.

    I've used this Gotoh tuner model on a lot of new made basses and found them to be excellent and they have a smooth turn action.

    Collection always good but can be posted.

  5. My original fretless was a conversion P bas, carried out by a double bass repairer and the nut slot depth was almost imperceptible above the fingerboard, this made for a more fretless (Mwah!) sound although it can be overcome by picking strings nearer the bridge area. 

    Otherwise have the nut slots clearing the f’board and whenever a more ‘mwah’ (🤔) sound is required, pluck the strings further along the neck.

  6. I’m thinking you should try and find a dedicated (DB/cello etc) shop and call in. There are different bow weights and different horse hair even (black and white) you will need the rosin as well, applied to the bow hair for contact ‘grip’ on strings. 
    I did try buying direct from China once, it was a German/underhand grip style and was delivered in a heavy plastic plumbing type tube…..but the bow was already bent! Much frustration, emails and subsequent refund but only after I had, under instruction, sawn off the frog/handle of the bow and returned it to China (paid for).

    Visiting a shop will allow you to try a French against a German style if you haven’t already.
