    Orange 4 stroke 500w bass amp in pretty immaculate condition as it’s been stored in a rack case (available separately) Here is the official blurb from Orange.. The 4 Stroke Series is our offering to the demanding modern bass player – everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Featuring all-analogue circuitry throughout, the 4 Stroke 300 & 500 speak with genuine authority, delivering powerful tones with a natural and rounded emphasis that leaves Class D amps in their wake. The Class AB 4 Stroke stays crystal clean and expressive all the way up, without ever becoming sterile or fatiguing. The centrepiece of these amps is the uncompromising tone stack which allows for an unparalleled level of control over the EQ without the fussiness that plagues so many. The active four-band parametric EQ covers an enormous range and opens up limitless possibilities. Whether you need to sculpt your signature sound, bring out the character of your instrument or combat troublesome acoustic environments, the 4 Stroke deals with all comers in an instant. For the finishing touch, our proprietary Class A compression circuit tracks seamlessly, adding further punch and fatness. On the rear, you’ll find the usual essentials: two parallel speaker outputs (min. total load 4 Ohms) I’d prefer pick up near Wakefield as it’s a 10.5kg amp but I will courier within mainland UK if buyer covers cost.

    Here’s a set of original boxed wizard pj pickups that are surplus to requirements from a project bass that didn’t happen. These are from the Andy Blake Wizard days I’m looking to recover the £150 I paid for the set last year. UK postage included

    What made you pick up that first bass at the start of this long and winding road? Aged 19 or 20 (can’t remember) and had never played an instrument in my life. Went out with some friends away at uni who were home for the hols and when we got back to his place he pulled a black & maple precision. I was hooked from that very moment. That was 1978. Do you still have the same fire and enthusiasmr? Do you still love it? Of course. I didn’t play at all between the ages of 24 and 50 but it’s a huge part of my life now especially since I retired What has changed along the way? The internet ! - the resources out there are so vast compared to the early days. I’ve never read music and still learn songs by memory. Any song you need to learn is available to you. Your taste in music, taste in basses? Taste in music - wide and varied, always has been. Interesting how we have gaps in our music exposure which normally fits in with having children and therefore no time to listen to anything knew. Taste in basses - having been through dozens of basses since I started playing again I have settled on my Dingwall ABZ. Can’t see me ever parting with it What was the first bass? A p bass copy of unknown origin. First proper bass was Ibanez Roadster bought from Curly Music in Liverpool And what’s the latest? Latest bass was a Dingwall NG3 4 string. Very nice but the ABZ is better. But a few months ago I decided to learn drums so funds have gone on building a nice Roland e-kit

    Got a few items for sale after making some recent upgrades and having a clear out TD25 module £375 -SOLD KD9 kick pad £60 KD8 kick pad £35 KD85 kick pad - very little wear to the head £120 PD80 pad £35 FD8 Hi-hat pedal with new actuator £40 Cable harness to fit TD9, TD11, TD15, TD17 or TD25 - works fine although some of the labels are worn off £30 I’m based in Wakefield, West Yorks but I’m happy to box up and get a postage cost for any of these. I normally use Evri so it’s not too pricey. I’ve also got a spare MDS9 frame for £45 but probably trickier to post that.

    I’m contemplating a Backbeat after the weekend gig where as the gig went on I found it harder and harder to hear myself. Because of that I began fingering harder and harder to the point my fingers cramped up. i figure if I can feel myself playing I might be less prone to this reoccurring. I know I need to work more on technique but in the heat of the moment theory can go out of the window. A new G2 backbeat is £399 but there’s no used ones around. But there’s some used G1 units about for £170 ish So should I try a used G1 unit first and upgrade if I like it ? - or just bite the bullet and get the F2 ? Thanks in advance

    Found some bargain Roland drum parts on marketplace and wondered if a kind BCer could collect, pay the cash (£150), box up and post to me using Evri Tbe 270 mile trip would kinda negate the bargain price for me ! Thanks in advance
