    How do you know he isn't... 🤔 He knows all your secrets too...

    Love Pinegrove straps, I have 4 of them. Absolutely top notch. 👌

    From personal experience, I'd swerve anything made by Jon. The bass I eventually got from him (after having to resort to sending him a Letter Before Action) was not playable, the bridge was fixed and the intonation was way off - not a useable bass. The build quality was passable, but quite amateur in comparison to the likes of ACG, Shuker, Overwater etc. Horses for courses and such, but I'd not go near one of his instruments again for numerous reasons.

    The only thing with those kind of strap locks is that you can't easily switch straps/basses. They're great for a perfectly useful, cheap solution. Personally for me, I like to easily be able to switch straps between basses, so the Dunlop/Schaller option works best. Dunlops win out over Schallers for me, they just feel more secure!

    It's about a 2 hour round trip, I can't get any closer than those 3 locations as I just won't have the time between meetings!

    I'll be in Merthyr Tydfil Tuesday late morning/early afternoon, then Llandow mid to late afternoon and around Cardiff on Wednesday. I have various meetings in those locations but if one suits you then I can meet you somewhere at an agreed time.

    Great basses these. I've had a few over the years - they compete with basses of a much higher price point. Good score sir! Enjoy. 😁

    A second hand bass, something that represents the best back for buck I can find in the classifieds! Play it for a while, maybe keep it, or maybe trade it on for something else and keep up a perpetual cycle of trading on and trying new things!

    Never had a Dunlop fail in 20 years of using them on 20+ instruments. Were yours legitimate ones as there's plenty of faux ones, as there are Schallers!

    Hi all, Given I've recently picked up an Ashdown CTM300, this amp/cab is now surplus to requirements. Its a great set up, very loud, sounds great, works a treat. The head is an Ashdown Evo II 300 - it's a UK made 300w head with the standard Ashdown features: Mute switch Active/Passive switch VU display EQ Section Sub-Harmonic dial Vol Gain Clean/Grind Valve drive DI Effects loop etc. The cab is a Mag 410T Deep 8 ohm 450w cab with tweeter. Carpet covered, overall good condition - works exactly as it should! I'm based in Wickford, Essex and obviously this is collection only! Though I will be in South Wales on Tuesday/Wednesday next week (12th & 13th Dec). Any questions, please ask!

    Jean Baudin and Yves Carbonne need adding please! Maybe Michael Manring too... 🙂 Oh, and Bill Clements too, because the man's a legend for using the bass to say FU to disabilities.

    @BassInstincts - could you not speak to Mark or Dave at Ashdown and see if they could send you one directly? Fortunately for me I live 15 minutes away from Ashdown, so have the luxury of being able to 'pop in', not that I've ever actually done that as yet!

    Dunlop Dual Action Strap Locks all the way for me. I have them on every instrument and every strap I own. Best in the market (IMHO).
  14. binky_bass
    It's a CTM300. The bigger brother of the CTM100! Tis a beast.

    Spector Euros are fantastic basses. The quality difference between these and their US made counterparts is there, but having owned both, the price gap really isn't worth the difference. These Euros are absolutely excellent beasts. Makes me miss my 6 string version!
  16. binky_bass
    Bluey... Nice!
  17. binky_bass
    Fantastic wireless systems these... I've been using one for a few years now, never missed a beat. £125 is a great price too!
  18. binky_bass
    I doubt you'll be disappointed, I think I've probably had 3 or 4 various iterations of these over the years, they always surprise me at how good they are for the price point, especially on the second hand market.
  19. binky_bass
    What??? A Spector Euro at a reasonable price?! A rare thing indeed these days!
  20. binky_bass
    Get a Cort A6. You can pick these up pre-owned for £300-£400. Excellent build quality and a 6 string bass will definitely help expand your playing (IMHO).
  21. binky_bass
    Mine...
  22. binky_bass
    Ain't nobody got no cash! Bleak out there...
  23. binky_bass
    £1150 is very cheap for this...

    Sounds like you acted in a completely reasonable way, hopefully lessons have been learnt at their end since your experience and they've now seemingly significantly upped their customer service game. Shame you had that bad experience, things like that can certainly put you off a company for life, but companies can change for the better, so let's hope that your experience contributed to a realisation that a better customer service should have been provided and will now be provided going forward.

    I suppose it depends on how you approach them... if it's with diplomacy and a friendly attitude I'd hope they'd be as helpful as the majority of reports suggest. I sent them an email a day ago just for general advice on something and to see if they had a replacement grill for a 410 cab that I have that's a little tatty - got an email back from Dave within 24 hours. 👍
