    Wow, well, I got a PM from another basschatter about 5 mins before you asking to buy. Tradition dictates first come first served - so it's sold pending the usual at the moment (!) Apologies - I didn't expect it to go this quickly

    Markbass's popular small lightweight class D 500w head. It's been my backup amp but I don't need it now. It's been used and gigged so there's a few marks on it here and there, but it works all fine. I have a set of rack ears I can supply with it too.
  3. Bridgehouse
    Now surplus to requirements, as I've pretty much replaced its gigging duties with my 51P and PJ partscasters. This is the "in betweenie" one - not a roadworn, but not the standard classic 50's with poly finish. Nitro finish Anodized scratchplate 1.75" nut width Maple board and neck Fender gig bag (ok condition) It isn't in perfect condition by a long stretch - there are some bumps and dings and some overall scratching (including some minor buckle rash) as it's been gigged and used. It doesn't show well in the photos as it's not really bad - but please don't expect factory fresh!! Given they are £1k or so now, and given the condition it's up for £500 - which is what I paid for it, so I'd like to stay cash neutral on it. No trades please, and no international shipping. Will post to UK addresses if you pay for the courier after I've got a quote. I travel around a lot (am near Peterborough) so I may be able to deliver to you.

    These are all good suggestions - I think I may go down the "leave it on and only do something if there's an issue later". I can swap it out or get a replacement from Limelight later on if needs be. I probably am over thinking it. Maybe.
  5. Bridgehouse
    Haha! Yes, I know it's a first world problem The truth will actually be that I'll be too lazy to do anything about it and end up leaving it

    @Dazed - don't know about value, and I don't have any intention of selling so I'm not that fussed by it. I've had it a year or so and no noticeable shrinkage as such, but these things are difficult to spot! Don't know if you can date a pick guard or not.. hmm.. I'm probably leaning towards doing it.
  7. Bridgehouse
    I'm trying to decide whether to swap out the guard on my 64 Precision. It has, obviously shrunk - it's not cracked anywhere, but the screws on the outer points definitely have some funky lean going on, and I'm trying to decide whether I should swap it out for a spitfire tort relic guard now and attach the old one to a piece of wood and stick in a sealed bag to pop into the case before it shrinks too much and cracks or splits. I love it being all original, but I fear if I leave it on it will eventually crack. Mind you it probably will anyway at some point. So, leave on and let it crack then replace, or replace now and try to preserve it?

    I am sitting here on my hands using all of my willpower to resist going down. I will stay strong.. I will stay strong..
  9. Bridgehouse
    Ah my favourite neck and just like the one on my 64P Interestingly, Andy Baxter has an EB2 in at the mo - the nut width is 43mm - pretty wide for a gibbo. I'm tempted to go have a look at it

    Gibson should really stick to things with points or things with f-holes when it comes to basses (IMHO of course)
  11. Bridgehouse
    No, just lemon oil. I masked the board off to do the neck.
  12. Bridgehouse
    They are the rumours I have heard. I stress they are only rumours. Massive health warning "the internet is often wrong" rumours.. But, there are rumblings tho.
  13. Bridgehouse
    It should be getting a rehearsal outing soon, so I shall report back..
  14. Bridgehouse
    Well, there's rumours floating around the internet that Gibson's CEO has departed....
  15. Bridgehouse
    As close to 60s Tort as you can get... go on, have a peek...
  16. Bridgehouse
    Cor, I need to do the update!
  17. Bridgehouse
    Cor, nice - had to look twice at that I reckon a Spitfire Tort guard would look stunning on that one!

    I have built many guitars and basses from parts. I have never sold any - I have sold parts separately, but never as a whole. Doesn't feel right to me somehow. Tell a lie - I sold a Telecaster I built up for £20 to a mate who was down on his luck and needed a guitar - he still has it, loves it and plays it out despite having some pretty expensive ones to go with it now.
  19. Bridgehouse
    I'm in the fens in South Lincs - I bet it's flatter here than your zero fret (unless you have a board of less than 12" radius )
  20. Bridgehouse
    Very true.. there was more than one "lake" in this zero fret tho I did see one bass once with a Titanium zero fret - dunno if it helped or if it affected tone tho
  21. Bridgehouse
    Nah - Lake District has higher peaks
  22. Bridgehouse
    You will never look back.....
  23. Bridgehouse
    They can wear out quicker tho - specially if they are the same material as your other frets, and you use rounds. Over time you will get little ruts. I looked at a 60s bass with a zero fret and it's intonation was all over the shop - the zero feet looked like the Lake District..
  24. Bridgehouse
    Really odd discussion for me. It's a sound you can use. And so I use it. Sometimes when writing bass lines I will consciously choose an open string rather than fretted equivalent for the sound/flow/feel It's a tool in the toolbag and I don't see why you wouldn't use it. Right tool for the right job etc..

    QSC K10.2 - the 12.2 might suit you better Powered wedge (nominally 2000w peak) with 3 inputs and DSP for profiling. Can be used for backline, monitoring, and a combination. For proper backline I'd use a pair and you could use stereo effects
