  1. This is really helpful. Been using Bass Gallery in Camden and they're fine, but this is a lot closer to where I live!
  2. Well... if I had a rehearsal space or if a venue had back(breaking)line that never got moved it'd be awesome! I mean, if I trundled into a regular pub with something like that I'd get looks...

  4. Bought an octave pedal from Mike. Arrived in good time and exactly what I was expecting. Great process, smashing to deal with and I'm very happy with the new toy - many thanks!
  5. Alex and I exchanged our amps! He got my MarkBass LM III and I took his TC BH800 away when we met up on a cold Sunday morning! Great process, much appreciated!
  6. Yeah, I've had hankerings to get a fretless 5 string. God knows why. It took me two years to be able to get to grips with a FRETTED 5 string... probalby the mission for the rest of my life to make a fretless work but hey.
  7. I wonder where the next bargain basement country of manufacture will be? Pakistan? Bangladesh? A newly independent Wales?
  8. I don't define myself as a fanboi. I do think that as long as you can get a Sterling Sub Stingray for under £400 you have a choice. I see Sterling 'Rays at under £700 which puts them roughly in the same ball-park as Sire, Ibanez or Yamaha. The MusicMan brand has a fair bit of kudos but it's not like Fender or Gibson who can trade off the name and sell some utter cr*p for top dollar so I'm not going to write off the buying public as idiots and MusicMan as con artists.
  9. Yeah, it's the Sterling Sterling. But then it's got us talking about it so while it may annoy people it's not going to actually put anyone off buying one? The £1100 for an Indonesian bass? Well. I don't know. I'm holding off judgement. If you'd asked me four years ago would I pay top dollar for a Chinese made bass I'd have laughed but then I got a Dingwall and I have never had a regret about that so... Maybe the wood, components and build quality will be up there but they'll be competing with much cheaper Sire and Yamaha basses that are flawless so good luck.
  10. @spacecowboy I'm a very happy. Just bought a PSU for my pedals from Ben. Great comms, arrived quickly and works so what more can you want? Thank you!
  11. I want a Rickenbacker 5 string. I mean, no way. But pwhoaaaar! https://www.promenademusic.co.uk/rickenbacker-4003s-5-string-bass-mapleglo/
  12. Wondering if I should change the strings for rounds and do another video?
  13. I had a Series 3000. Such an 80s icon! Bombproof neck . Cool AF
  14. Omg want! Can’t have as I have no space for one and it won’t suit my need in an amp but I’ve loved these since they first came out. Legends.
  15. thanks Nik- it was a pleasure to geek out with you over the basses, and I really enjoyed your playing. You’ve properly got the chops!
  16. I have had a great meet up with a fellow bass-chatter who came around with a couple of very yummy basses but we decided not to swap/buy. My jazz wasn’t for him and I have come to realise that my Dingwall Combustion 5-3 can do everything and I don’t really need any more basses. So really I want to move it on. Ideally I’d like to meet up so the buyer can try it and I may be able to deliver within the M25 by arrangement, I’d really prefer not to courier as it’s such a faff but an open to conversation…
  17. I think I read that Supergrass recorded through an old Carlsbro combo so I can well believe what you say.
  18. Should have made clear - I was just at low practise levels, low volume - using a preamp with compression - he trusts me with his kit, I’ve been helping I’m out for decades - I bought him a second rig, a light one that’s easier for him to lug around.
  19. I just checked my savings. I don’t have enough. Sad face.
  20. He does and he has a bit of a whinge but I had the amp repaired when it went wrong so I’ve earned the right to use it as I wish!
  21. Just sharing this from this guy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/richard.quittenton
