    The one thing I regret about going short scale was selling my Bongo 4H to fund the switch. These are fantastic instruments - way more versatile than most people imagine. This one's a beauty - GLWTS, I'm sure it won't be here too much longer.

    Why am I not surprised?!!!

    Lovely! The price is more than fair. GLWTS.

    Gorgeous bass and nice cushions! GLWTS!

    Mint condition Markbass 1 x 15" combo, never gigged. These have the classic Markbass warm, oomphy tone from a Little Mark 250 Black Line head, including the proprietory VPF (Variable Pre-shape Filter) and VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) filters, in a fairly light (16 Kg) package, easily a one-handed lift. I'm only selling this because my "studio" space is tiny and I need the space, so I'm switching to something with a smaller footprint, probably a 1 x 10" to go with my GK MB200, not that this is by any means massive (H/W/D 46.4 x 47.5 x 48 cm). I also have some genuine and useful Markbass accessories, all of which are brand new and not included in the price. They are a never-used cover, which cost me €69; a tilt-back Velcro stand, incredibly strong - it can stand the additional weight of me pressing down on it firmly and helps push the air up and out (€27) and a Bass Keeper, to keep your instrument safe and close by (see pix - €14). That's about £80 in all - I'll include the lot for £50, otherwise we can negotiate individual prices. I could, I suppose, post it at your expense and insurance cost, but I'd much rather it was collected from Mapperley in Nottingham, where you can try it out with your bass or one of mine, and even partake of a cuppa.

    There are some really useful exercises in this book, which I've found invaluable: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1911267833/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I noticed that Tim Commerford's new signature EBMM short-scale Stingray has ramp as standard. Wondered why - now I know!

    I'm not their fanboi, though I do seem to have posted positively in the past. But from a quick read yesterday, that's exactly what they're saying. Though I'm not sure my original choice of the Saturday is necessarily the best, given the proclaimed attendees for the various events have all changed since... what is it?... two years ago.

    Not surprised - didn't think it would be here long!
  11. petecarlton
    Still gorgeous!

    Hi. What's the impedance on these little treasures?
  13. petecarlton
    Thanks, Paul. Good luck with it anyway 😊

    If only this were 8 ohms... Have a bump anyway and GLWTS!

    Hi @weepaul if you decide not to go ahead with buying the cab, I'm definitely interested. Pete

    Hi all BCers! I don't know if you - like me - subscribe to the daily emails from Corey Brown under the moniker No Treble, but I've found them a really fascinating and useful resource over the years I've been playing. The thing is, they're totally free and act as a portal to all sorts of information, resources (e.g. YouTube lessons, transcriptions and so on), their podcast on Bandcamp and generally all things bass. It seems only fair then to help Corey out after many years of him working for us, which you can do here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/no-treble-reader-support Obviously, there are loads of calls on our spare cash at the moment, many of which are equally deserving of support, but I recommend - if you have a spare buck or two - that you send some of it his way. Disclaimer: I have absolutely no connection with Corey Brown or No Treble, other than as a reader and - now - a very minor supporter. Thanks. Pete

    Beautiful!

    These are just amazing - 2.9Kg is ridiculous for a long-scale. GLWTS!
  19. petecarlton
    That’s a Black Beauty itself. GLWTS.

    This looks awesome. Just out of interest, what do you use as a preamp?
  21. petecarlton
    Now I've got to ask: what is the "witness point"?
  22. petecarlton
    Great that the ashtray looks as if it's been used... as an ashtray! 😊

    Why these were branded as Squier is beyond me - they are so much better than most of the "true" Fender production at the time (and, some might argue, since).

    The finish on these is breathtaking.
