Markbass - all made in Indonesia now and heavy?
dodgnofski replied to phatbass787's topic in Amps and Cabs
I have owned quite a few Italian made Markbass amps, including LittleMark series 2's & 3's - two LMK's and two - (one of which blew up) - F1's' All of them were great amps - even the F1 that blew up ...................... until it blew up !! Due to not gigging very much in my dotage - if at all , but still being a fan of the MB sound I bought a MB Blackline 250 and in my very humble opinion the build quality, sound and functionality is no better and no worse than the other MB amps I've owned, is as loud as heck & sounds 'fab' !! There were two big pluses for me in buying one of these - the cost and as an old codger, I prefer the more subdued appearance of the fascia. Top marks to Marco for producing a high quality product, at a price that even us Pensioners can afford !! Oh and by the by - I knew exactly where it was manufactured prior buying, without very much digging & as with the Italian models - it weighs next to nothing........... !! -
Fender 60's P Bass - what type of wood is this please?
dodgnofski replied to dodgnofski's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks Daniel, I think I just got lucky! - it's all original, arrow straight neck, allowing for an incredibly low 'playable' action, massive output from the pick ups. lightweight and plays like the proverbial dream - phew!! - I haven't been able to put it down for the past two weeks, so it has the added advantage of keeping me away from the fridge !! I was originally thinking of a pre - CBS jobbie, but I can't imagine 'any' Precision from any era would suit me better than this beauty, plus I just couldn't resist those Lollipop tuners !! All the best Tim -

Hi, no - it's the original sunburst paint job - but the more I look at it, the more it looks like Ash to me? -

Thanks for taking the trouble to post the pics dannybuoy - appreciated! Comparing the two - and if I had to bet my house on it, I'd plump for Ash as the grain resembles the top pic way more than Alder pic?? Any more offers?? -

Thanks again Guys - appreciated, she is quite light - 8lbs 7oz so I suppose it could be either?? -

dodgnofski replied to dodgnofski's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thank you for your response - It sounds quite smooth and even toned throughout the fingerboard, but seems to have 'endless'sustain compared to all the other P's I've owned, or played over the many years??!! -

It would just be nice to know for sure - that's all, thanks. -

dodgnofski replied to dodgnofski's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks Guys - very much appreciated, looks like all the evidence points towards Red Alder? but I still have a niggling doubt that it 'could' be ash, or even swamp ash??......... -
The Bass Doc strikes again! where the ruddy heck would we be without him?? Thanks for saving the day - yet again H Great Guy, great service - as always!!!

Wow, thanks Howie, I didn't even know that data base existed - thanks. looks very similar to me too! cheers, Tim -
Hello my learned friends - does anyone know what type of wood this is please? Ash, Alder? My guess 'would' be (pardon the pun) - Ash? - it's a 1968 Precision, if that helps? All donations gratefully received - thank you Tim

Here is my really wonderful Fender Squier PJ Precision Bass Special - which is in incredible condition for an almost 15 year old instrument, with no dings or issues - just a few surface marks from being played. Specs:- Made in May 1999 Maple neck Lovely 'slabby - fied' rosewood fingerboard Precision Body Jazz neck Split Precision pickup in the usual position Jazz pickup in the bridge position Volume, Volume, Master Tone control configuration This answers the ' do I need the thump and deep bass tone of a Precision, or the growl of a Jazz'?? dilemma - by providing the best of both worlds. And unlike the Fender Hotrod version I used to own, it has a separate volume for each pickup not a pan pot, which drove me mad! Although this is a passive bass, the output from both pickups is very powerful and produce a wide variety of tones. The bass has been well set up, at a cost equivalent to the national debt of a small country, currently sports Fender flat wound strings and plays like the proverbial dream - in fact, a lot nicer than the Fender Hotrod ever did! Don't make the same 'mistaka to maka' that I used to 'maka' in thinking that because it says Squier on the headstock that it must somehow not be as good as the more expensive Fender models - this is well put together from top quality materials and plays as well and better than a lot of the basses I've owned, or played during the past 40 years! Only selling as I have a Fretless on the way for a new project and as so rightly and 'quickly' pointed out by the current Kitchen Viper 'we' ?? operate a strictly 'one in, one out' rule in this establishment - apparently - anyone know a good snake charmer:)?? Cash on collection preferred, I'm 5 minutes away from Junction 15 of the dear old M6 in sunnny Stoke on Trent - but would post out - but I don't have a hard case for it - so it may be advisable to remove the neck, which may alter the current superb set up of course, but it should be a breeze to regain upon reassembly - four screws - not four candles! £225.00 including shipping to the UK Mainland - payment via Paypal as a gift, or Bank Transfer

Acquired very recently as I 'thought' I was going to be gigging on a regular basis again - 'wrong'!! TWO Ashdown Mi 12 Lightweight Bass Cabs These are very high quality cabs that produced a very articulate sound with a deep bass, smooth mids and just the right amount of highs, in my humble opinion of course. The cabs are in mint condition and their performance and build quality are a credit to Mark and his team. Specs are:- 250 watts RMS 12 inch driver 1 inch tweeter 8ohms Dimensions 545 H x 390 W x 365 D Weight 16kg Both 1/4" Jack and Speakon connection Front ported Rubber feet on two sides for horizontal, or vertical stacking Looking for £160 each, or £300 the pair - which is a big saving on even the discounted online price plus they are indistinguishable from brand new cabs. Cash on collection preferred, or I can post to the UK mainland via Parcelforce 48 - but the cost would be £27.68 per cab - sorry! I'm 5 minutes from Junction 15 of the M6 - if that helps? **If anyone wishes to have these posted - or send their own courier for them, I have the original Ashdown box for one of them and another good strong box for the other** I would be interested in trades for two smaller cabs, such as the ASHDOWN Mi 10 cabs, but they would need to be the 8ohm versions

How much do warwicks make now? SS1 in Yorkshire
dodgnofski replied to LukeFRC's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Strange how fashion seemingly affects gear prices - you couldn't give Warwicks away just a few years ago !!
