    Bought a P bass neck off Pete. Great experience. Easy to approach. Friendly. Deal with confidence with Pete 👍

    Hi Al yeah not sure on the science of the EQ to be honest. On this demo he pretty much keeps each dial middled. It's not mentioned at all in the manual. I checked. My friend had the mark one version of the head and she let me borrow it for a while. It was good but it just started to overdrive too soon for me...it was just too wild... and I prefer to add drive with pedals esp as the gigs we play, I normally play through the venue's provided backline so can't rely on the backline having any reliable overdrive capability. Some folks I'm sure will love that aspect of the MK1 I'm sure. Horses for courses.

    It was this demo that I felt showed how good this head is. U probably seen it by now but just in case https://youtu.be/c4SMM28jblQ

    Hi I've got the orange Terror head now with the clean switch. I dont play the styles you mention but i really like the head. It's got a really simple, musical EQ and a warm sound. I've had an ashdown ABM combo for over 20 years and they make excellent gear but I'm enjoying the Orange too. It's also a hell of a lot easier to move than my old combo.

    Hi Grahambythesea yeah I did return it in the end. A and E were just about in tune with the saddles all the way back. I dithered and then returned it. Could be just the one I got. Great looking instrument. I ordered the black/graphite one and you can't see it on the web site pictures but it's got a nice subtle sort of flecked finish but not shiny in any way. Really cool. I think I just didn't really bond with it. Maybe I expected too much. I never had the older model so cant say if it's anything like as bad as the previous batch. Definitely worth a try if there's a no quibble return policy available from seller.

    Just got a black one delivered today. A string intonation was quite sharp so the saddle is all the way back now. I'll let it settle and report back. Fantastic looking bass but if theres no tolerance on the intonation I may return it. Not sure. Just thought to let anyone that is interested know.

    Hi, relisting my L2000 tribute as despite marking it as sold a month or two ago the sale could not be completed. No problems. Thought about keeping it but..... To simplify the process I'm relisting it with shipping and insurance via Parcelforce included in the price as it doesn't feel like travel restrictions will be lifted any time soon. As a result the price is higher than the previous listing. I think this is for the best though as iv heard a few nasty shipping related mishaps on here of late and want piece of mind so no one loses out at either end of the process should something bad happen. Planning to ship it in a good sized chunky, strong bubble wrapped box with old soft case as well. Happy to provide a picture if anyone is curious about the packaging. I received a bass in this package myself from France prior to Brexit so should be good. Slight dink which i've tried to picture but it does not affect playability and is fairly smooth to the touch. Bass is as new apart from this mark. Thanks for looking.

    I really rate this pedal. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice bit of breakup/dirty boost. Hope it finds a good home.

    **deposit now taken to be sorted after lockdown** Hi I bought this Alliance Fretless acoustic bass many years ago from Manchester Bass Center. I'm not going to say a know much about it. It's not a vintage Luthier made instrument by any means but it sounds nice to my ears both amplified and unamplified. It also looks quite nice too with some nice cream binding. One slight dink I've marked by the jack socket but nothing major at all. Low light today so pictures a bit tricky. Has a simple 9volt preamp onboard. No major fingerboard wear. Made in Korea. Played a lot but looked after. Socially distanced collection fine. I do have a large ish packaging box too if delivery needed but it is an acoustic instrument and would not take kindly to delivery man treatment if abused 🙂. Thanks

    Tech21 VT DI for sale. As new condition and includes all original packaging, instructions etc. Even still got the sticker for what it's worth. Velcro on the back. Socially distanced collection possible. Posted in the UK fine. An extra fiver should cover signed for delivery via royal mail. Thanks

    Thanks Lozz. That's interesting. I do feel loyalty to Ashdown as I really like how they do stuff plus customer service as we know is top notch. Not that iv ever had one of their amps fail 🙂. Ideally I'd try in a shop but tricky to know when that mayb possible. Thx

    Hi I'm thinking of buying a new head. It's a toss up for me between the newer Orange Terror with the clean switch or the ABM 600 head. I'm sure both are fantastic. I've seen folks talking on old threads here about the Orange Terror but that was the older model without the clean switch. A friend of mine let me borrow that same version recently and whilst it's a really cool amp, it starts to go into overdrive, even with the gain down low, and it was just a bit too much for me and I couldn't get a nice clean sound. I tend to add FX to a clean ish tone. I've had an ABM 500 in the past so know what to expect from an ashdown and only downside of the ABM is it's a bit heavier.... but nothing back breaking. So, is anyone out there a user of the newer Terror Bass with the clean switch. Any feedback on it? One demo on YouTube shows it delivering some fantastic sounds both clean and overdriven and I really liked what I heard. Thanks in advance

    Selling my L2000 Tribute. Always wanted one of these since I saw Martyn le Noble playing the more expensive version. Plenty of demos of this bass on YouTube. Loads of varied sounds on tap but I've realised over the last year I'm obviously a bit of a simpleton, and prefer basses I can just wack the dials on full and play. Despite all the variations the pickups give you, I seem to be endlessly fiddling and adjusting my sound rather than just enjoying it and settling on one that works in my band. Never mind. .......my problem. Its a shame cause I love the neck on this bass. It's quite chunky, but with a great satin finish. Hardware is great for the price esp the bridge. Only change I will be making before selling is refitting the strap buttons it came with. I bought this as B stock so one picture shows the ding the bass had when it turned up at PMT prior to shipping to me. It's not remotely sharp or dangerous and actually quite smooth to the touch. A bit of the lacquer has chipped off but it's in the position of you forearm and mostly against your belly when playing and not a problem or noticeable in any way. Weight exactly 4 kg on our scales. UK shipping fine at buyers expense and risk. I have a good quality bass box it can be packed in. No problems. Collection in line with social distance rules fine too. Not really up for trades at the moment.

    DOD 250 Overdrive Pedal. Plenty of demos and reviews on YouTube and Google to be found on these. This is the reissue version. Price includes postage.

    P pickups liberated from two different Japanese P basses. Set on the left from an early 80s Fernandes P Bass. Quite high output. No idea of brand. Right hand set from a Greco Spacey sound. The bass itself was built in 1980 at fujigen factory but again I have no clue on pickup origin. Some folks out there I'm sure will know. Both appear to be original based on the wiring when swapped out. £15 per set posted

    Thanks very much. All good now. Great pickups as u say. Thx

    Not sure if anyone can help. A friend of mine helped me fit a P and a J of the entwistles today. They sound fantastic....amazed at how much of an Improvement they are. Obviously my stock pickups weren't up to much esp the J. Quick technical question though..... When we were fitting them..... the magnets came off the P pickup and we didn't pay too much attention to how we reattached them. After fitting and testing the d and g string sound amazing on the P pickup but the E and A are much quieter. Is that possibly to do with us reattaching the magnets the wrong way? Thanks. Sorry if this is a stupid question.
