  1. +1 This is an unbelievable piece of quality kit for the money! GLWTS Craig.. 😊
  2. Just received some very shiny Wilkinson tuners in the post from John which are absolutely perfect! As ever, he's a great Basschatter to deal with. A highly respected and valued member of the BC community. Many thanks John 😊

  4. All good thanks Chris.. 😊 I hadn't read that thread before but it makes for very interesting and pertinent reading. For want of a better and slightly mixed up analogy, I for one have spent far too much time over the last 15 years 'driving a Ferrari to the corner shop to pick up a pint of milk' in search of that elusive bass tone.. I often have more fun these days playing a £100 Chinese Squier P Bass copy through a £50 second hand Yamaha amp into a home build 1x12 cab than when I take out the full Ampeg rig and an array of boutique basses.. Yep - there's a lot of food for thought in your phrase about 'technique not technology'.. Anyway, glad to hear there's still some electric bass action at Beedster Towers Chris, and all the best for now, Nik
  5. Fantastic quality bass at an amazing price! I said that last time this was up for sale.. IME, Sandberg 5 string basses are very good to play and have superb electronics. Plus, the B string on the JM5 I had was excellent - crystal clear definition due to the 35"scale and build quality. And @patrikmarky is great guy to deal with too, so what's not to like!? 😊 GLWTS
  6. ^^ Totally agree with this.. I can remember going through a similar phase in the 80s too.. In fact, drummers had the same challenge - if not more so - when drum machines became such a dominant factor in writing, producing and performing music during the same era.
  7. Fab! That's the BC Rich Wave bass if I'm not mistaken.. Same spec though and sounding very funky indeed! 😎
  8. Wow, Chris.. You never cease to amaze me! In a good way, of course.. 😊 Being a musician is a journey and it's great to hear how it's evolved for you, and is doing so for your family too. Seems to me like you are following the right path.. Which in this case means that there's some fabulous Beedster bass gear being made available here on Basschat yet again, and at very generous prices. It all looks fantastic and is very tempting, but I'm still so pleased with the Ampeg V4BH rig you sold me 4 years ago, I have no reason to even consider more amps (or cabs for that matter). So, I'll just wish you GLWTS and hope I catch up with you at some point soon. All the best Nik
  9. Location says: Toledo (Spain)
  10. @ChunkyMunky - we did that last year in fact.. Ended up being as inconclusive as a series of UK parliamentary indicative votes! Happy to do a Version 2.0 though if there's any interest in the idea..
  11. Great music, fantastic playing and the bass sounds brilliant!
  12. I'm up for this idea @rodfunnell Will have a chat with others involved to see what's possible /doable.. But any ideas or suggestions here would be great too.
  13. Cab now SOLD - many thanks for all the kind comments!
  14. Me neither @Shaggy.. Live and learn! That's a great looking Mk1 Custom btw.. GLWTS
  15. Great photos - looks like a really good day! Congrats to the organisers for another successful Bash.. 😊👍
  16. Sorry to hear about your situation @Salt on your Bass? Having had to handle a couple of disputes in recent years with courier companies, I'd say it's cheaper - though not necessarily easier - to deal with it yourself.. However, if you have any legal cover in your home insurance policy then it'll be worth investigating that and then trying to go down that route. Best of luck with it!
  17. Interesting video - was the last piece an original composition?
  18. Yep - absolute bargain price for a quality British made cab! GLWTS Geoff.
  19. The cab is currently 'on hold pending payment '...
  20. You might be right on this - I'm certainly not wedded to the idea that only my point of view is right. But on balance, I think that the overall contribution to good bass education that Scott and SBL is making is a positive one. When I started out learning the bass in the late 70s, I'd have loved to have access to the learning resources like SBL and Basschat that are available today.
  21. OK, some photos as promised earlier...
  22. As I understand it, its done by dividing the ohmage of the drivers - in this case 16 ohms - and dividing it by the total number of drivers, i.e. 3. So, 16 ÷ 3 = 5.3. Hope that helps..
