    @AndyTravis You down yeah ?
  2. Machines
    Yes, I am happy to try and break the record (if there is one ?) for failing.

    It's kind of a self punishing to be honest. I know I won't do it, I don't even want to do it. But I think I should. Anyway I got a nice Dingwall.

    I failed before signing up. Damn.

    Here's a 2014 SR1206 I got a few weeks ago for a great price. Plays very well and neck is very comfortable. In excellent condition too.

    Can't wait for the influencer reviews totally ignoring the literal elephant in the room. Shame this, definitely a missed opportunity.

    Single pickups Satin painted finishes (as they always shine up, and are generally more fragile than gloss poly) Non-speed loading bridges aka 'BBOT' Batteries inside control cavity, rather than a quick access flip box Jack sockets in a funny place so my Boss Wireless unit doesn't fit Active basses without a passive mode n.b. amongst my basses, all of the above exist 🤣

    Set your input gain lower or use the active input.

    Been using Ashdown most of the last 20 years, never needed their repairs dept so far. N.b. I've recently become an Ashdown artist so any praise from me is most definitely be biased 😂

    5/5

    MTD Kingston Super is a good shout too.

    Is that a typo in the price ? £2300 seems much more like it !

    Here's MTD Kingston Super 5 I got earlier this year, has been upgraded periodically and now is 10/10. It was perfectly serviceable stock, but I saw a few examples of these mods and they looked so much better. Biggest differences are probably aesthetic (no more easily tarnished chrome), but a few practical ones too (e.g. switching, and passive option). It did cost me a small fortune, but I can't see myself ever selling it. With the 3 way coil taps giving 15 sound options and this preamp, it can pretty much do everything. I am most pleased that I installed all of these myself, too (with only mild swearing). Bartolini DL5CBC Pickups Bartolini HR-5.4AP/918 Preamp (18v) Hipshot B Style bridge Hipshot Ultralite tuners MTD USA Knobs Dunlop Straplocks 2 x 3 way coil taps (Removed series option to have single coil/parallel/single coil) Satin finish polished to semi-gloss.

    @Napalmnun Nice score. I don't want to know how much that cost 🤤.
  16. Machines
    There are some shocking underpriced examples where the item is collection only in a remote location.

    n.b. I have now added a 3 way coil tap for the humbucker, so you can have either front coil/parallel/rear coil, exactly like a Lakland 44-02.

    I'm so glad you cleared that one up, thanks for contributing 🥴.

    I took some it seems.

    Well, I actually copied and pasted the tech specs from the JHS website 14 years ago in the review - it was advertised as spalted poplar. However looking at a fair few images across Google, it does strike more as a poplar burl. It's all about academic really, it looks nice whatever it's called.
  21. Machines
    We're both wrong - it's spalted poplar. I can take some, but this is a UK collection only sale.
  22. Machines
    May as well keep it at this price

    Payson are not bad - but head to head I prefer Dingwalls every time. They seem to not have too much tension and that suits me.
  24. Machines
    I'm a big convert to MTD recently - lovely instrument, will sound great with those upgrades. Nice to chat in BassDirect last week ;).
  25. Machines
    No problems at all, are in phase.
