  1. Sold my VM P5 to John. Great communication throughout and prompt payment. Glad the bass has gone to a fellow fan of the breed! Trade with confidence. Many thanks again.
  2. Bought a very tidy head from Karl today. Very fast deal. Item exactly as described at a good price and we still had time for a good old natter about all things bass. Top fella 😁 many thanks again
  3. Another Super 12 at a crazy price. Absolute bargain! GLWTS
  4. [quote name='JJTee' timestamp='1492152921' post='3278254'] Yes, agreed. The greatest pop record of all time. As Nile Rodgers has put it, the song is full of hooks and everything is in its right place. [/quote] +1 to this. It gets some stick but this to my ears this is just about as perfect as a pop song could be.
  5. Hi all One of my fives has got to go, either this or my BTB so whichever goes first, the other will be withdrawn. This is a great bass in perfect condition with the added benefit of a Kiogon solderless wiring loom including CTS pots, switchcraft jack and new chrome flat top knobs. It's this one: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PBassVOWT Plays, sounds and looks great but alas I'm hard pushed to warrant owning one five string at the moment, let alone two. Collection or meet up preferred, I'm in South Yorkshire. Pics to follow Thanks
  6. Other 5 now sold so this is no longer for sale.
  7. + 1 to the above comments. The only place mine is going is for a service. Glwts
  8. [quote name='40hz' timestamp='1490025267' post='3261535'] How are you finding it, DeeDee? [/quote] Still finding it wonderful, but has anybody else felt the need to look into fitting a string retainer bar to catch the G as well as the A and D? There seems to be very little break on the G
  9. [font=times new roman,times,serif][color=#3C3241][size=4]Well the new project I'm in isn't going to require quite as much 5 string action as I thought, so one of my fivers is going to have to go I.e. either this or my Squier VM Precision V. [/size][/color][/font][color=#3C3241][size=4]First up is my rather lovely Ibanez BTB675 bass.[/size][/color] [font=times new roman,times,serif][color=#3C3241][size=4]This is in excellent condition and looks and plays beautifully.[/size][/color][/font] [font=times new roman,times,serif][color=#3C3241][size=4]Here's the blurb:[/size][/color] [color=#3C3241][size=4]The 5-string Ibanez BTB675 Electric Bass unleashes unbelievable sound capabilities, thanks to quality woods, superior construction, and cutting-edge electronics. A solid light ash body with a walnut top offers cool looks backed up by rugged construction. The rugged 5-piece maple and bubinga thru-neck creates stronger, more dedicated tone. Exaggerated cutaways make upper-fret access effortless. The U-shaped neck profile, 19-11/16" radius, and 1-7/8" nut assure that playing your bass stays comfortable as you run your hand up and down its 24 frets. The 35" neck scale provides superior articulation-ideal for low tunings. Quad-coil exclusively designed Bartolini MK-2 pickups are balanced for tone and plenty of sizzle. The Ibanez BTB675 bass' neck pickup's tone is ultra-deep, balancing well with a bright bridge pickup for an evenly proportioned overall mix. Die-cast tuners, cosmo black hardware, and a flat finish round out the iIbanez BTB675 5-string bass guitar's features to make it truly is work of the luthier's art.

Collection or meet up preferred (I'm in South Yorkshire). I can supply a beaten up old hard case, but trust me it really is beat up.
  10. Great cab, good price AND silver cloth!!!! Glwts
  11. Off at a slight tangent, but were these only available as headless? GLWTS
  12. I recently bought a pair of these and absolutely love 'em 😁. https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/vox-amphones-bass-guitar-monitoring-headphones?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&gclid=COrNjJegjtMCFQ4R0wodV3MHVw Plug your MP3 player into the the aux socket and away you go. Perfect for learning new material for my new covers band without annoying the neighbours (or the wife).
  13. 😮 If I wasn't already hugely overstocked with Trace gear (with more on the way) I'd have both of these off you. But out of interest, are you interested in any trades?
  14. Good man. There are many bargains to be had out there!
  15. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1491076030' post='3270376'] Would those vintage amps still have 1/4 jacks if Speakons had existed? [/quote] No, but that doesn't make them any less capable.
  16. Sold a couple of cabs to Andy. Great communication, prompt payment and a jolly nice bloke to boot. Had a good old natter about all things Trace. Trade with confidence.
  17. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1490954275' post='3269327'] They also had Bulgin connectors for the mains lead, but no-one in their right minds would want that nowadays. [/quote] Perhaps not, but suggesting that professional, highly regarded kit is no longer 'serious' because of technological advances seems a little harsh. Just to further elaborate/labour the point, I've played hundreds of gigs through a variety of amp/speaker connections. At no point can I ever remember accidentally pulling out a 1/4" jack plug out from my amp/speaker or thinking the speak-on connection sounds far superior to a jack connection. Mrs & Mrs Average punter usually can't tell the difference between basses, cabs or amps so I'm pretty sure they're not going to turn their collective noses up if they were to find out that a cab had been connected via the lesser spotted jack plug.
  18. [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1490888710' post='3268852'] Some 'Old People' pass-times I've noticed are; Driving very slowly,especially during rush hour. Paying for the weekly shop in 2p pieces. Asking for a full ingredients and cooking process breakdown whilst ordering a pub lunch. These all look like splendid fun. [/quote] 😂
  19. Well, just in case anybody was interested......... all done 😁. Just a bit of intense measuring, followed by nervous drilling as the SM head (and my SMX) have side mounted fixing screws and the combo has top mounted. Well chuffed with it. Next, I'll do the same with the old Series 6 head and mount that in its new sleeve for safe keeping.
  20. Another steal. GLWTS
  21. [quote name='Zummerbass' timestamp='1490679439' post='3266894'] Dan Dare-Thanks for advice,something to consider. A 4 ohm cab would be more desirable than 8 ohm. Would a AH 300 GP7SM be happy to run into a single 4 ohm cab? [/quote] You'll be fine. I've played all of my TE heads through 4ohm BF cabs for several years. Either one 4ohm or two 8ohms. As per the previous post though, no lower than 4ohms 👀
  22. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1490689826' post='3266984'] IMO any amp rated at over 100W that does not use Speakon connectors is not a serious piece of kit. [/quote] I think users of 'serious' older amps would strongly disagree
