With regard to the excellent previous gen Nexus Cabs I enquired whether they were permanently out if production and Laney emailed me back a few months ago to say they would be back. Regretting not having picked up a 210 second hand when I had the chance.

Endomorph and Maid Marian. Allan Holdsworth Secrets Album.

Apparently Belt was a nice fellow, heard his widow was keeping the cult alive last time I looked. Machina Dynamics is a new name to me, would Google furnish me some giggles?

Ho ho, someone recalls the inimitable Peter Belt and his pseudo science.

Would have sold poorly in the Southern US/Nashville I reckon 😁

Turn of a friendly card - Alan Parsons

The Jack - AC/DC

Love the M2 - so light for a five string. I think 7 basses enough (pro-tem). Sires are great but KSD with Audere a good substitute, need to get pickups checked tho ??

As @la bam has pointed out Laney Nexus. Hardish to find but GAK have an N410 (46lbs 8ohm) for £600 or so.

Looks fine to me. So many used Yamahas around and find that even baseline models are really well crafted. If a bit heavy. Found a lefty TRB1005j for £300 a few months ago, a keeper and sole downside is it's hefty.

Squier VM jazz. Cort Action5 5str. (Ugly unbelievably cheap but necks good really amazing for the money.) Sire M2 5str 2nd Gen. Yamaha 4str Beater . (downtuned with the Rotosound clothes line thickness strings) Chowny Retrovibe. (As close as I'll get to a Geddy Style Rickenbacker. Previous owner put Optima Gold strings on it. A really nice resonant light Bass. Think the pickups let it down a bit) KSD Proto J 605 (Audere Pre d'addario black tapewounds. Love this Bass despite it being battered/gigged) Yamaha trb1005j. (A lovely looking well made Bass as good an instrument as I'll ever need. Maybe a little bland, certainly a bit bloody heavy. So I got the Chowny 😄)

Have a look at the Albion ABH800 Monster that I got alarmingly cheap on eBay. It's rather lighter than the Trace but took a while to get Ok tones on it with the multiplicity of adjustment available. Seems a pretty well made thing and still does 650 watts on the 8ohm setting. Valve preamp great and compressor works when gently utilised. Seems a pity that Mr Grindrod's designs were virtually stillborn. I don't know if he's still active. Damnit I can't seem to even post a link, much less a photo 😥😥😥

One of the first big gigs I went to. Still love a bit of earlier heavier Rush.

Mononeon.

I keep an eye out for CTM's and their 30w cousins - a nice looking CTM30 sold for £200 in an Evilbay auction only fairly recently.

Looks like the Bassman 4 X 12 we were discussing on another thread. Will measure it .

Torn between selling the 110 but I've also got the LD150 combo which is also good and still portable.

As it happens Im about to post a line6 ld110 for sale here. Hilarious little amps, though the Roland is slightly better really.

Thank you kindly dear sir. I will open and use /try them out (eventually). Might toddle with amp to see Ashdown and footle there next time I venture into East Angular.

Apart from the earlier guy who marketed a deco styled thing with accompanying amp.

Mug punters who imagine that anything "Collectible" is a sure-fire investment, the value is always going to appreciate 🤪🤪😄 Tulip Mania, but it's happening everywhere, mean time really good equipment is being sold off for peanuts.
