Hi len, I’ve never traded but I’ve bought from them, I asked for more info and pictures of the basses and they did exactly that, and they arrived no problem, I dealt with Tom who was a really nice guy, I had no problems whatsoever
If like me you like African Head Charge then this is worth a listen, Barry Dread on bass here who also does a lot of his own stuff , nice bit of playing by drum and bass at 17.50
Yeah its a good sound, right at the bottom in the description it’s got his gear list , here you go
gear list:
Rega Planar 8 Turntable, Apheta 3 Cartridge and Aria Mk3 Phono Stage
Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 2nd Generation Audio Interface
Encoded at 48kHz 32-bit Stereo in Adode Audition
I think we mentioned this album a while back before it was released, well I’ve been listening to it for the last few nights and it really is very good, especially liking these two tracks , Dennis Bovell has done a great job, I’m gonna get the bassline down to this one soon
and a great production of silly games
How’s this one for a restoration project, don’t think I’d get the time or I might have considered it

Really like that, it looks fantastic, it’s an amp that I wasn’t Really aware of to be honest and I haven’t seen many of them , there’s some good pictures and info in this article , I definitely don’t need any more amps but I’d keep an eye out for one of them
To my ears 18s put out a much deeper bass especially at higher volume , I know it’s a bit different but reggae and dub sound systems only use 18s for that reason, I don’t know the maths but I’m guessing you wouldn’t get that chest thumping bass from anything smaller
To further improve my playing I’m working on a couple of Sean Hurley basslines, so I’m paying extra attention to the ghost notes and working on them separately, really enjoying it
A couple of nice easy listening ones tonight , has to be Gregory Isaacs with a my love dub mix
and an early one from Patrick Alley around 1977, I really like the vocals on this, reminds me of another song but I can’t place it yet
I’ve got one fitted to one of my jazzes which was an experiment really, I don’t play hard or dig in as they say but I quite like it, once you’ve found the right height which is close to the strings I can’t really think why you would want it adjustable
