  1. All fixed now.

    Once I'd taken the switch out I saw that a small plastic retaining flange had snapped, 5 minutes with the superglue solved it.

    This fits if replacement required

  2. [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Marshall B25 MkII Practice combo 25 Watts

    Near mint condition, hardly used.

    Great sound, with full 3 channel EQ.

    2 inputs and headphone socket

    10 inch speaker.

    Very well made (10kg), usual Marshall quality.

    Current model, the MB30 retails for £130

    Collection from South Yorks or can deliver locally (buyer pays fuel costs).[/font][/size]

  3. [quote name='Wil' post='824918' date='May 1 2010, 03:26 PM']Probably a 5 string with an extra string beside each one tuned an ocatave higher - Stuart Zender used to own an 8 string Streamer like this (I think you can see it in the video for Return of the Space Cowboy).

    Would be a Warwick custom shop job, I should think.[/quote]

    Just watched the vid, kind of like that with the FNA Jazzman body, but smaller machine heads. Would have had bash on it but car park time was almost out.

  4. Yorkshire rocks !!!

    Dad's a Yorkshireman, been living here over 15 years now on and off. Can't knock it, Sheffield is a great place to be right now.

    Getting back into bass playing after a few years out of the loop.

  5. I've noticed that the Euopean and USA made basses retail for much higher prices compared to their far Eastern siblings.

    Production costs are obviously cheaper, but is the quality control better from the European / USA camp?

    One American bass player told me that USA Fenders are probably put together by Mexicans living in the USA anyway so there's not much difference between a Mexican Jazz and a USA Jazz.

    Warwick's Chinese Rockbasses are half the price of their German counterparts.

    Yamaha manufacture their TRB 1005/6 in Korea which makes them a lot cheaper than the TRB5/6 top line stuff.

    Anybody had any major QC issues with these cheaper far Eastern instruments?
