  1. [quote name='jogi' timestamp='1489860795' post='3260420'] On the light side for this model, but too heavy for me... Good luck with the trade! [/quote] Thanks Jogi. It's no lightweight but as you say that doesn't come with the territory. Well balanced and she carries it well.
  2. [quote name='jogi' timestamp='1489853338' post='3260356'] Could you tell me the weight, please? Cheers, Jogi [/quote] Using the bathroom scales between 10 and 11 Lbs, Peter
  3. Bump for anyone who may have a suitable trade. I'll get some photos of this stunning Stingray 5 done on Monday when I have a chance and hopefully when some sun comes along. Sun in the Lake District?? Here's a stock photo to show the normal SR5 haters how nice this bass looks:
  4. Many thanks Lee. Great guys at Promenade too, if only all music shops were as good
  5. I have an absolutely lovely SR5 HH and it is awesome. I also have a Radiance Red Bongo 5 HH and a ACG Finn Uber spec plus two active Jazz single coil 5ers (ACG and GMR) so I'm putting the SR5 up for trade because I'm looking for a passive 5 P bass of some sort. I want high end quality passive P bass tone with 5 strings basically. I have changed the title from 'for trade' to add 'for sale' as I have a bass on the horizon that would suit but I'm open to trade offers still. The SR5 is near mint with a special case and candy. It has the mahogany tone block and the modified EQ. Here is the actual bass and I can take more photo's of course. It's not me playing btw, I'm leaner, older and much greyer. Bass in Kendal, trial welcome; [url="https://youtu.be/Oo4K3hNm7q8"]https://youtu.be/Oo4K3hNm7q8[/url] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif][b][i]Limited Edition![/i][/b][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][i]Exclusive to this anniversary instrument, a pre-amp was specially designed to accentuate the low-end frequencies while gaining additional clarity, sustain and response. Paying tribute to the earliest Sting Ray 5 models, the instrument's pickups come equipped with the ever-popular Alnico magnets. Further improvements include an inlayed mahogany Tone Block centered underneath the sweet spot of the pickups and a five-bolt neck attachment providing smoother access to higher frets. This anniversary edition bass guitar features an Ash body with a flame maple top in an exclusive custom California Sunset finish. Music Man is recognized as the benchmark of modern bass guitar design and manufacturing since introducing the Stingray bass in 1976. Music Man was founded in 1972, and acquired in 1984 by Ernie Ball Inc. The company has since developed many groundbreaking guitars and basses.[/i][/size][/font][/color] Peter
  6. That's a lot of bass for little money.
  7. Marek bought my Strymon Ola and was a gent.
  8. Glad you're liking your Talman Matt. I lust after a 605, if they get around to selling them in the U.K. I'm only playing 5ers nowadays but I feel the need for one of these??
  9. I've got one to use for home practice. It's great. Very useable although I've not used the DI. Even the cab sim and the FX are okay.
  10. I've 2 Markbass LM amps. A Tube 500 and a LMII. I don't use them for home practice as I've a TC Electronics BG250 1x15 combo for that. I have set up my MB amps at home at low volume and the fan noise is a bit annoying. Personally I don't see it as a problem because I'm expecting them to operate out of their natural environment imo. There're also the benefit that the TC amp has a aux in and a headphone out. Horses for courses in my opinion. Of course you may have a particular amp problem but if you've tried several fans it doesn't sound like it. Peter
  11. Modulus Flea eh Marcus, the circle goes around
  12. I'm not usually a Fender fan but that looks lovely. Hope it works out for you.
  13. [quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1488629073' post='3250578'] Pm on it's way [/quote] And replied Peter
  14. Thanks for moving the post. I didn't think it was weird or wonderful
  15. Just spotted on eBay. 272554717898 A 34" scale TRB5 in lovely condition, good price and 'make an offer'. Collection only 😒 Or I'd be seriously tempted. He's also selling a Ken Smith and an Xotic. Anyone on here? Peter
  16. That is very nice.
  17. [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1488480225' post='3249360'] Always found the bass lines jumped out at me. Loved Cockney Rebel, but this one has always sounded great to me. [media]http://youtu.be/DohRa9lsx0Q[/media] Man, where can I get some flares like his! [/quote] If I had to vote for my influence when I started playing aged 40, that'd be it.I must relearn it, great bassline.
  18. Great pedal, best model, a classic flanger that'll do chorus. Reduced to £60 delivered to the UK. Still has warranty from purchase.
  19. [quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1488471363' post='3249253'] Would have to agree with you on Geezer. I was listening to bands in late 70s early 80s without much interest in bass. Then i heard sabbaths first album and his sound and playing really hit me. May not be the most technical but his sound got me hooked on playing bass. Its a shame that i think that bass sound and style he had on first 3 or 4 albums disappeared on albums after that. [/quote] Yep, I joined the RN at that time and my interest in Sabbath declined with their own decline imo.
  20. This must have been done before I guess but this morning I was walking from work (yes nights) listening to my MP3 player and I realised what did it for me. I didn't actually know such a thing as a bass guitar existed or what it sounded like if I'm honest (am I the only one?) as I was just a spotty 15 year old. Geezer Butler did it for me and he still does actually. Bloody awesome 47 years later.
  21. Bump to the top for this superb pedal. https://youtu.be/MQYlPjw8YOw
  22. Bump for a photo of the best Boss flanger (imo).
  23. Bump for a photo of the mighty Ola Chorus.
  24. [size=4]I've got a Boss BF-2 [font=arial][color=#000000]Serial Number - 094300 (July 1981-black label) in great working condition​. I recently paid £90 for this from a dealer and it has two months warranty remaining.[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][color=#000000][font=arial]I've just got a Strymon Mobius which makes this great flanger redundant.[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#000000][font=arial]Free UK [/font][/color][font=arial][color=#000000]delay.
