Just met up with @Dave808 to buy his JMJ Mustang - a smooth experience from start to finish. Great communication and a nice guy to boot.
 

Cheers Dave!

One of the best straps I've ever used - tied for 1st place with my Dingwall leather racing strap. If you like the Comfort Strapps, these are similar to those but with a more "deluxe" look and feel. This is wider with leather appointments and metal buckles rather than the plastic used on the Comfort Strapps. I'm honestly tempted by this myself but I have too many straps as it is! GLWTS

Oh bloody hell this is beautiful. Was hoping your list of trades would align with what I’m thinking of moving on but alas…!

Actually, this looks a bit more neutral:
 

 

This is the video I was thinking of!

It’ll just be the (auto) white balance of the camera making the image seem cooler - and therefore bluer - than it actually is. Pretty sure I’ve seen @wateroftyne playing this beast in a YouTube video and it is indeed turquoise!

In fairness, I can confirm that these basses do play like butter!

Phenomenal basses. I used to have one in black a few years back and tbh I regret moving it on! GLWTS

Phenomenal basses!

But this is a BB734 (i.e. 4 string) NOT a BB735 (which is a 5 string)

Big part of why I love my Xotic basses is because of their onboard Tri-Logic preamps - they just sound so good at practically any setting.

GLWTS!

These are great bags. I got one with my recent ACG build and was very impressed with the quality. GLWTS!

Beautiful bass! I've never seen one in this colour before.

On the last tour I was on a few months back (I'm a theatre actor) our bass player had a dep covering a couple of performances. He turned up with one of these and I got to hear him play a bit while our sound guy sound checked him - it sounded incredible through our huge touring FOH rig. Clarity, richness, punch. And now I have GAS 

Oh bloody hell, I’ve literally just arrived in Birmingham for a work contract…danger!!

Gah! I'd have had this!

Best price you’ll find for one of these. Great cases.

My favourite flats. GLWTS!

Oh bloody hell. I would have had the Elixirs!

It’s a Sirius Alienslam.

A name truly befitting its countenance!

It kind of reminds me of a bass I played at a studio years ago but more refined..

 

 

…what on earth is that??

So I've been chatting to Chris at Alpher (Pheral!) asking some questions about these new beasts. Here's what I've learned:

- The price will be £1495, which includes the lovely metallic finishes shown in their instagram post. Natural oil finish is also available for the same price if preferred. This is a lower price point than the rest of the Alpher line with fewer options available as a result.

- There are three pickup types to choose from, all made by TV Jones. The "Thunder Tron", "Thunder Mag" and "Thunder Blade" - The Mag is a P-style pup whereas the Tron and Blade are humbuckers. The differences between them can be seen & heard at https://tvjones.com/bass-pickups . I'm loving the sound samples!

- Wiring layout for basses with with either the "Tron" or "Blade" installed will be Volume, Tone and a coil tap switch. On basses loaded with the "Mag" it'll be Volume, Tone and a kill switch.

Just a heads up that Gear4Music seem to have the best price by far for the TC clip tuners. They’re selling the Unitune Clip for about £25 at the moment. No other retailer seems to come close to that price!

Any Trades or is this a Sale only?

Any version of the Polytune is the answer - I have the mini pedal and a couple of clip ones. All are excellent - and the “poly” function can be easily turned off so it only ever “looks” for single notes. Incredibly accurate and stable tuners, worth every penny. I wouldn’t use another tuner tbh.

Bought new last year and used twice for a remote voiceover project, then put back in its box where it has remained ever since.

This is the bundle which comes boxed with Aston shockmount and “Swiftshield” pop filter - though the base of the mic itself has a built-in 3/8” screw thread so it can be mounted directly to a stand without a shockmount necessary.

Collection in London preferred but happy to post if required.

Arguably the best headphone amp on the market - I’ve owned this from new and it’s been fantastic. Clean, clear, quality sound from one of the geniuses of the bass amplification world.

Comes boxed with all of the original cables - 1/8” (3.5mm) audio cables, 1/4” to 1/8” amp cable and a couple of USB cables of different lengths in case the original one is too short. Plus the nice grey storage pouch of course.

The photo looks like the “Bighead” logo has rubbed off but it’s just my camera being weird - all the text is there. I can provide further photos if necessary!

Collection preferred in London but happy to post if needed.

Phenomenal filter. If you want that classic fat squelchy goodness with minimal knob-twiddling, this is your pedal.
