    I was looking for something like this. I couldn't find anything so went for a Fender Rumble and a portable power system. It works much better than a battery powered combo. I use it with the 25w Rumble for both electric and double bass. The combo power output with determine how long the power lasts. It's longer than you think.

    I would not touch ParcelFarce with the longest stick in the country. I've entrusted them with two basses and in both cases they failed. On the first occasion the driver said they had attempted delivery but no on was in. They had been in all day. The purchaser contacted the driver who admitted he had been nowhere near and had to put attempted for their IT systems. Second occasion they damaged the bass. I tried to claim but I needed to prove how much I'd purchased it for. Difficult as this was in 1979. Terrible company. Very very difficult to get in touch with them.

    Jesse Welles, on Monday. Outstanding. Bass player was well old school. Fender Coronado and a fender valve and what looked like. 2 x 15. Well worth the trip.

    Bit of Chasin' Change there? Nice bass.

    Perhaps a Sandberg but not a Rick 4030

    I acquired a Talman30 a couple of weeks ago and giggled with it last week. I really enjoyed the experience, a good range of sounds off the PJ set up, the neck was nice and the short scale was fun. Add to that a price of £212 so can't go wrong. I may be tempted to get a more expensive shorty but if I enjoy this one why bother. I was looking at a Sire MM U5 but the talman was so cheap. A lot of bass for your money.

    @Japhet You were right. Great bass for £212. Well worth the telling off for leaving wife outside of Gear4Music for 40 minutes

    Even as a Rick fan boy I wouldn't touch one of these.

    Just seen this thread as I'm in the market for a short scale bass. I agree with @Obrienp. They could have gone a step further and added an active circuit.

    Many thanks to everyone for your comments and advice. All of it duly noted and I'm meeting my friend at Birmingham Guitar Guitar next month. I'll keep you posted on what he decides on this thread. Also if I give in and end up with a Talman. Evidence may be provided.

    I might have to get one of them myself
  12. probonopublico started following Ibanez bass for a guitarist

    Good morning. I have a friend who is a guitarist, quite accomplished. He is looking to buy a bass and asked me for advice. He's into metal although can apply himself to many styles. Principally he plays lead. His guitar collection has veered away from fender, he has a PRS, Les Paul and he likes his Ibanez (although he has a Tele with humbuckers - one of them weird ones). I suspect he would like an ibanez but I know little about them. His budget is around £300-£350. Does anyone have any thoughts? I will try to sneak in a Squire CV jazz when we try out. He also mentioned Yamaha. It's just for home recording and playing. Not live - he would be all over the fretboard.

    That's good, they used to charge an extra processing fee.

    I've sold a few things on Reverb. I've found it to be ok. It's easy to set up an account and put up an item for sale. Some things go quickly others may take time but you're not charged until it's sold. They charge about 9% They charge extra to bump your item. They offer a delivery and insurance service but I've not used rhat My main gripe was with Parcel Farce. The worst company I've ever dealt with. Avoid them. They're late, damage your stuff, the drivers lie and the tracking is rubbish. The insurance is terrible. I've sold about a dozen things and all have been no hassle with Reverb. To price something I look at the option to look at previously sold items, decide how much you are prepared to sell it for and factor in their fees. If you offer delivery it will go faster. If you are honest and clear with the ad buyers can't ask for a return.

    Mike just bought a fretless from me. Great to deal with and responded very quickly.
