Thank you Ted. Lovely to meet up. Peter

All prices reduced yet further (22 Aug 25) and delivery to UK included. I made space on my pedal board for an HX One. It replaced my the pedal I thought I'd never sell, my Creation Audio Grizzy. So I now have 4 pedals sitting around doing not a lot and a hankering for a Stomp Creation Audio Grizzly. £125 Flattley Poison Ivy Fuzz £80 Black Country Custom The 85 Octave £75 TC Electronics 3rd Dimension Chorus £15 RC Booster in photo is sold. All in top condition. In fact the 85, 3rd Dim and Flattely are like new. All boxed except for the Grizzly (I will keep looking). Velcro'd as per the photos. Peter-

Now £430! Here's my Markbass cab up for sale. It is in near new condition and includes a Roqsolid cover. The top carpet has a couple of indents where the amp was placed on it. Other than that minor sign of normal use it's as new. It has been used several times at rehearsal at very low volume levels and at one gig where it was only used as a monitor as I was going through the PA. It is a great cab. A real one cab solution weighing approximately 18Kg or 40lbs. I'm 70, under 11 stone, have osteoporosis and have suffered a spinal fracture and I'm happy to lug it around. Specs briefly are 2 x 12" ceramic speakers 600 watts Piezo switchable tweeter with 2 levels of attenuation 57.8 x 60 x 47 cm https://www.markbass.it/product/mb58r-122-p-4/ Tone is very Markbass, i.e. effective. Collection or meet up only. I'm in Kendal, Lake District, NW England.-

A tale to help explain how good I think these cabs are. I've been through a bit of chopping and changing with my rig. I was using one Accugroove Tri112L for band rehearsal and very occasionally both when needed. I decided to get a one cab solution so I had more headroom available with one cab. I bought a MarkBass MB58R P-4. A 600W 4ohm 17.5Kg 2 x 12 with ceramic speakers. I normally use a 'backup' Peavey MiniMax 600W head with it. With the Accugrooves I've was using my GK800 Legacy. I took both rigs along to our last rehearsal. The Accugrooves and the GK won hands down. I haven't tried swapping the heads around but the experience shows just how good these Accugrooves are. -
Probably to have as a 4ohm pair. When I’ve used mine together they are much more than the sum of their parts 🙂

I bought a Yamaha TRBX605FB from Andy. Everything was great and exactly as described. Great value, communication and fast delivery. I really couldn’t have asked for more. Peter

I’ve now a back up 5er incoming. At 18mm it isn’t particularly narrow spacing but it’s quite narrow at the nut and I’ll cope. My US G&L produces a monstrous tone right where our style of music demands it. The Plek’d neck also makes it so very playable. It has a full +/- 3EQ with passive tone courtesy of an EMG BTS System which takes nothing away and adds much. It’ll be interesting to see how the East/Aguilar TRBX 605FM compares.

I saw that to. It looks like new. Very nice.

Thank you for that Matt. I find the MFD pickups are really just right. That blue L1550 is a good price though. Tributes can be that much 2nd hand.
-
My US L2500CLF is quickly becoming like a 2nd skin. I'm getting around to thinking that any backup bass should also have 5 strings in number and have the narrow string spacing that I'm both used to and like. Does the Tribute have the same narrow string spacing? Any thoughts on it vs the US model? Any other suggestions on narrow string spacing 5ers would be appreciated too. Peter

Not a problem. -
I recently bought a Tech 21 MIDI Footswitch from Mike. He sent the unit well packaged and with 24 hour delivery. He forgot the psu but ordered one next day delivery from Amazon. Very helpful, great communication and he went above and beyond. Thank you Mike. Peter

What a great day. Thank you Rob and all who came along. Some lovely basses too. -
I spoke to John about using the MMSR as it is the obvious choice. He didn't recommend it. I've since lowered the treble response frequency using the internal switches and I've fitted some high quality Gotoh knobs to the EMG controls. The bass is now simply awesome especially in a band setting. It's difficult to imagine anything better (given that I've owned well over 100 basses that's saying something significant ). Peter
