  2. Just doing some admin & noticed I forgot to leave any feedback for the quality bitsa Precision Bass I bought from Ash back in November. An easy transaction and a really nice instrument. Thanks 👍🏻
  3. Thanks - did you find it worked well with them? What range of tones did you get with that combination? I'm mainly into the light to medium grit/always-on tubey drive end of the spectrum but interested to find out how versatile the pedal can be with flatwounds. Cheers 👍🏻
  4. Have you tried this pedal with flats at all?
  5. I have a similar issue to the OP here. There is a rattling when I dig in on certain fretted notes. I did a little investigating and found that one of the tuning pegs is a little loose (see video). I'm not terribly technically minded so was wondering if someone could give me an idiot's guide to fixing this issue, please? I don't want to accidentally super glue the tuner at the wrong point so that it won't move! 😅 20211119_122233.mp4
  6. Ed bought a stand from me. Quick payment, good comms, nice chap! Deal with confidence 👍🏻
  7. Johann bought a gig bag from me. Straightforward transaction and a nice, friendly chap. A pleasure to do business with.
  8. Yep, that's right 👍🏻👍🏻
  9. For sale is my Fender Modern Player Short Scale Jazz Bass, Crafted in China, in good condition. Bought on Basschat just over a year ago, it has had only home use since then - never gigged. The P/J pickup configuration and responsive tone control give you access to a wide range of sounds. The J pickup is a 'Hot Jazz' model and the P pickup has plenty of gain on tap as well. It has a fast, easy playing neck. The finish is a lush translucent white through which you can see a beautiful wood grain. It has a tortoiseshell pickguard, and a vintage tint maple neck with rosewood fretboard. Not only does it sound and look good, it's also fairly rare - only 200 were made I believe. It has recently been restrung with GHS flatwound strings and had a professional setup. One thing to note is that the drive on the heads of the A and D intonation screws have been somewhat rounded out. When I had the bass set up I asked if they would replace them but they said it wasn't necessary and indeed have set the intonation perfectly. I just mention it here in the interest of transparency. I've loved playing this bass and in a perfect world I'd keep it, but I'm trying to streamline my collection. Collection only from East Dulwich in South London.
  10. Pedaltrain pedal board with soft carry case. Velcro attached. Selling as I am down to a single pedal these days (as you can see), and sometimes gigging pedal free. Can post for an extra £5. Will add some better pictures when I get home tonight!
  11. Gig bag designed to fit the Hofner Violin Bass and Club Bass. It's also a good fit for my Squier CV 60s Mustang Bass so could be of interest to a non-Hofner short scale player. It's well designed with ample padding. £30 collected from South London.
  12. Hercules stand for 2 basses (or guitars I suppose 😉). Can be adjusted to accommodate long and short scale instruments. In good condition and has been folded away in the corner of a room for some time since I downsized my collection. Seeing it sitting there just makes me think of buying more basses, so please save me from myself! £30 collected from South London. I've included a picture of it in action below.
  13. Nice! Looks in really great condition 👍🏻
  14. Resurrecting this thread to praise the One Control Crimson Red, which I actually bought from OP @SumOne. Gives my little Mustang huge bottom end and can get my fretless Jazz into quasi-upright territory. It's currently my only pedal. Recently, I've even considered getting a second one in case the unthinkable happened and this one stopped working! 😂
  15. Ah nice, I've got some GHS strings (on a short scale) and like them. Are these rounds or flats? Sorry, I can't tell on my rubbish phone!
  16. Very nice bass. I really like the neck. What strings does it have on, out of interest?
  17. I'm one of those people who can't decide if they want compression or not. You can be the beneficiary of my latest rebound - my Aguilar TLC Compressor is available for £105 plus £5 postage if needed, the same price I paid for it on Reverb. I'll probably be on here in a couple of months looking for my next fix! The pedal has Velcro on the bottom. It comes with the original box.

  18. To give a little update on where I'm at with this now... I contacted Essex Amp Repairs and they responded very quickly to let me know they can repair the amp for £59/hr plus parts. I can't fault their communication and it's good to hear that they will repair Markbass stuff as some other techs I've spoken to point-blank refuse. However, when parts (and courier) are factored in the cost unavoidably has the potential to mount up. Added to this, the amp has on the whole been behaving recently. I've also actually noticed that it's when using my higher output bass that problems start to occur - so I am going to have a fiddle with the setup on that instrument. My medium term solution, along the lines of what @Sparky Mark is doing, is to search out a used Markbass cab that can either be paired with the 121p combo as long as it is functioning or with another head (my Trace Elliot ELF). On the subject of Ashdown, I've also had excellent customer support from them in the past.
  19. Very nice, Brian! Good luck with the sale 👍🏻👍🏻
  20. Thanks for the recommendation!
  21. Thanks for the step-by-step! 👍🏻👍🏻
  22. Ok, doesn't sound *too* tricky even for me... I may give it a try then if I'm feeling brave! 😅
  23. Ah cheers for this. Must admit I'm a total novice when it comes to something like changing a combo head. I'm based in London, so I wonder if there's somewhere on Denmark St where they'd take a look and install a new head for me if needed.
