  1. +1 to the above... And to so many of the other posts too.. And thanks to @Rayman for such a great post! 👍😊 I've lost count of the times I've said to people how I wished something like Basschat had existed when I first starting playing bass in my teens (which was a long time ago..). Gotta say @ped and @Kiwi really did something good when they started this - and the fact that it's still going is amazing IMO..! In terms of 'bad run ins' and confrontational or contentious posts etc anyone remember Big Beef Chief?? Those were the days.. 😂🤣😂
  2. 😁 Much as I believe in the core Basschat mantra of 'you can never have too many basses' , my two existing 5 string basses (that don't get enough playing time as it is), would definitely object to the arrival of another 5er at Silverfox Towers - lovely as your KSD undoubtedly is! They're already struggling to cope with the arrival of the CIJ Jazz that i bought at the weekend...
  3. Thanks @thestick, It's a great sounding amp - you're absolutely right. Btw - I used to have a KSD 5 string that I bought directly from Bernie Goodfellow, who set it up for me and fitted it with an Aguilar preamp... It was a really nice bass! GLWTS of your one.. 👍😊
  4. Having heard a couple of YouTube demos of the Korean built Elrick/Cort 5 strings, which are pretty good, this must sound absolutely amazing Si! It looks awesome too, but then again, I do have a thing for all black basses.. 😁😎 Anyeay, GLWTS Si, And sending you very best wishes also for the imminent arrival of your new baby daughter! 😊
  5. No problem, and GLWTS of your stuff... Not an easy time to shift gear at the moment, but at least January is almost out of the way!
  6. £SOLD Hi Folks, Up for sale only is one of David Eden's amazing World Tour Series bass amps, from the golden era of Eden bass gear that graced stages across the world during the late 90s and early Noughties. This year 2000 model is a superb example of the WT-400, which is in excellent condition and sounds fantastic ! These amps are incredibly powerful, have very musical e.q. and are relatively lightweight... I'm after £SOLD or near offer for the amp and the hard case that it comes with. I bought this from @E sharplast year, mainly to use on a recording project and as a back up to my Mesa Boogie amps for gigs, but in all truth, it's hardly been used since I bought it last September. Apart from having too much gear, I've also just purchased another bass, so I'm looking to balance the books by moving this onto a new owner, who I hope will get a lot more use out of it and enjoy everything it has to offer. Here's a link to last E Sharp's for sale ad, which properly explains the back story on this amp. As you can see, I'm only the second owner of this classic head... Here's a couple of YouTube demos that tell you a lot about the versatile and powerful tonal shaping possibilities this amp offers: And this old ZZ Sounds ad has all the spec for the WT-400. https://www.zzounds.com/item--EDEWT400 I'm based in Potton, Central Bedfordshire, not to far from the Beds/Cambs border and ideally would prefer to sell this to someone who can collect in person. Not only is that a safer way to buy, you'll also get a chance to test the amp out properly - and have a good old natter about all things bass of course whilst being supplied copious amounts of tea, coffee and biscuits .. 😁. Shipping (at buyer's expense) could be a possibility, but we'd need to discuss it... I also work in London and travel regularly through Beds/Herts, so a meet up along the A1 corridor in that neck of the woods is doable too. If you've any questions, want any more info or photos, please PM or ask away here. Thanks for looking! 😊 Cheers Nik
  7. That looks absolutely fantastic @Rayman! GLWTS
  8. Hi Folks, I had the pleasure of meeting @Cairobill, aka Nick, for the first time yesterday... Typical time-honoured format for a Basschat meet up; two teenage musos masquerading as grown-ups, chatting away carside in a motorway services station, somewhere south of London. Only difference these days is that there's no actual cash changing hands - that all takes place digitally of course.. But still, something physical changes hands - in this case, Nick's beautiful sonic blue MIJ Fender Jazz, which is now residing rather smugly on a stand in Silverfoxnik Towers demanding to be played. What can I say other than it's always great to meet with fellow Basschatters, especially ones you've known of on the forum since the early 2006/7 days.. And that's so true where Nick's concerned - he's a great guy to talk to, an extremely talented musician and singer-songwriter, and he knows his stuff when it comes to Jazz basses and bass gesr in general ! And what's more, he's very easy and open to deal with, so buy/sell/trade with Nick in absolute confidence Folks. Thanks for a fascinating chat yesterday Nick, and for a fabulous Jazz Bass - it played and sounded great at rehearsals yesterday afternoon (as I kind of knew it would). 👍😊 Nik
  9. Ah, that was possibly the most famous South East Bass Bash workshop of all time @pete.young.. 😁 Happy days... 👍😊
  10. Just adding to this new thread for Elliott, and echoing what @Mudpuphas already said above. Elliott bought an Aguilar DB212 cab off me a year or so ago, before he joined Basschat. It was a very smooth transaction i have to say.. Elliott's a great person to deal with, knows his gear, and is a fab bass player too! Highly recommended! 👍😊
  11. This was my bass for a couple of years as @ricksterphilhas said above and it really is a fabulous instrument! A total joy to play, sounds gorgeous and looks as cool as F**k! At this price, you won't find a better and more unique T-Bird anywhere, I guarantee you. GLWTS 👍😊
  12. Guilty as charged, Your Honour! 😁 Yes... T'was me that Kim's refering to that he met up with yesterday, and although we didn't do a trade in the end, that's more to do with my two 5ers not being right for him as opposed to any reflection on his Jazz bass, which is really good! As he says in his For Sale blurb above, the neck is a thing of beauty and it plays beautifully. Sound-wise, it sounds just like a Jazz should and it's nice and light and balances really well. I happen to really like the red body/maple fingerboard/ tort guard look too.. Whoever does finally snap this up will definitely have a really cool looking, great sounding Jazz bass on their hands, that's for sure! GLWTS Kim.. 👍😊 P. S. That Dingwall 5er of yours is some instrument too...
  13. Very sad news indeed! Never met him as some here have, but I loved his bass playing and thought he came across as a decent human being in the interviews I saw him do. More than anything though, I'll remember his musical contribution as being especially significant in terms of Kate Bush's career - what he supported and enabled her to go on and achieve with her music can't be underestimated. RIP 😔
  14. Me too!! Happy gear-free 2024 Everyone... 😁
  15. Happy New Year Basschatters! 

     

    And best wishes for 2024! 🥂😊

  16. Aren't these the same model as the one I bought from you earlier this year Jon? If so, then all I can say is that these will be great playing & great sounding P Basses.. I love mine! And so do most band members and sound engineers that have heard it at gigs and rehearsals ! GLWTS 👍😊
  17. Have a good one with your nearest & dearest Folks! 😊🎄🎶
