  1. I used to have two flightcased Hiwatt DR103s so I’m fully aware of how heavy amps are and can be. The 350 is nice it’s just annoying to carry to my music room in the loft and lug about. I use Barefaced cabs and just fancied a fully lightweight rig. A/B testing sounds like a great idea.
  2. Hi David, it’s not suitable for bass. You can run a guitar and a mic through it at the same time. I bought it to use with my busking band in Bristol (trying saying that quickly!). You could probably use it for bass at low levels, but it’s a guitar amp really.
  3. You can get a rear battery cover for £8.50 on eBay. I do have another cover (don’t ask) and can include for £5 more if you want it.
  4. This is a well used but still fully and fantastic Street Cube. It’s been heavily used busking and playing. There’s no mains adaptor and the rear battery cover has gone. I don’t really want to sell it but I don’t use it much, so here it is. £75 English pounds please! Can send in the UK.
  5. Take them to court. A small claim will cost you about £35 and is worth doing. It shows you’re serious and also that you won’t settle for less. When they settle (which they will) they’ll pay your costs back. I run a small business and have done this several times.
  6. I have a set of Medium a scale Chromes that are cut for a Mustang bass. I bought these to fit to a 1975 Mustang I bought. The tension was too high and it bowed the neck so I sent the bass back. Alas, I need to keep the strings. Theyve been fitted but never played. Cut for an inline headstock. £35 including delivery!
  7. I gig a fair bit and have a lovely EBS 350 amp in a flight case. It’s solid, sounds amazing and always delivers - but it’s heavy. I take an Elf as a backup but was wondering if the Tonehammer 500 would be as loud and effective. Any experiences to share?
  8. I know Tom and the guys in his shop. He’s one of the UK’s leading luthiers and is a truly lovely chap. I have no doubts that this is an amazing bass. Good luck with the sale.
  9. My aunty (love her) found this and rescued it. It’s a made in Korea Aria Magna series bass. The guitar has been poorly stored and heavily used. I can’t test anything and I don’t know if it works. I’ve been given a estimate to put right but it’s the same price (give it take) as a used one would fetch so offering is here as a project. Thinking around £45 including postage (neck off). If im way off tell me as I have no need of this bass here and would prefer a BC-er brought it back to life if possible. Frets are fine, body is well worn, components have some corrosion, pickup is untested and the split pickup appears to have suffered a foam malfunction! Images below…
  10. Very true but would affect value, of course:
  11. All good. I’ve bought a few bits from them and they’ve always been more than excellent. Perhaps they have fixed this issue. I just wanted to share my experience as it’s a good price for a really lovely bass.
  12. Just a warning. I bought this bass (https://richtonemusic.co.uk/fender-mustang-bass-1975-sunburst-hard-case-2nd-hand/) and had it delivered. When I tried to change to flats the increased tension necessitated a turn on the truss rod. Unfortunately, the rod has seized which either means it needs some pretty major lubrication or it's at the end of its travel. I pointed this out to them and they agreed to a rapid return. It was picked up yesterday and my refund was processed today. (Happy days) Unfortunately, they seem to have just advertised it for sale again without acknowledging the issue. They may have fixed it in the last 3 hours, which is great. But I'd exercise caution. Other than the truss rod it was a lovely bass, so here's hoping they have fixed it!
  13. I had one like this 20 years ago (bought from Bassworld). Looking at pre CBS levels of collectibility here.
  14. Musicians Union worth a look. Home insurance is fine if you’re doing it purely for pleasure. Covers bands where you earn cash can be classed as professional use and you’re not covered.
  15. What a shame. I hope you can find something else you enjoy as much.
  16. Sorry to hear you no longer play. Lovely bass and good luck with the sale.
  17. All for sale. I just need them gone. Simandl £15 delivered The rest, £5 each (plus delivery). £50 for the lot (delivery included)?
  18. This is a lovely old Acoustic Image Claris + (2) amp. It’s in great working order. Bought on here recently but I need more power for my band so it’s back up for sale. Hoping to save for an Aguilar rig. Price includes postage in the Uk. Comes with padded case and kettle lead.
  19. I had a horrendous hangover so I politely spoke to the pub owner and went home for a nap.
