    Just done a deal with Lloyd, great comms, instant payment, decisive and a joy to deal with. Well recommended, enjoy Lloyd and all the best. Many thanks, Karl.

    [quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1346416068' post='1788963'] My first one had this fault, got it changed for another, it had the same fault. Changed the valve myself in the second one and it works fine now. The valve might just need re-seating every now and again as it works loose with vibration from travel (and sitting on top of a vibrating box all night). Mine developed the hum once more, with the new valve, a well aimed tap on the top is a quick fix during a gig, then open it up at home and tighten up the valve you should be rocking again. Just thought I'd point this out because the price is an absolute bargain for what seems like a very minor fault. And a great amp! [/quote] How about doing a thread in Repairs and Technical like Happy Jack's on Orange Bass Terror valve replacement? Probably be quite a few would be grateful. I don't have the problem with mine but I would like an idiot's guide to cahanging the valve on them, er, because I'm an idiot. Excellent amps though.

    Ah, my little darlin', fabulous amp, power to kill with, clean but can be dirty if you ask her nicely. If I'd kept this I would be several hundred quid better off . Good luck, somebody is about to get happy, Karl.

    Many thanks ikay, food for thought. I've had a couple of the Attitude Ltd's with the DiMarzio's and they are certainly great pups.

    Better hurry guys. Don't know about the jazz, but it seems like Thomanns are the last place in Europe to have an Antigua Precision. Glad I got mine sharpish a lot of 50 something bass players will remember these mysterious objects from their youf

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1346356521' post='1788355'] Mahogany Rush as a first gig!! You RRRRROCK! Probably Paul Harwood on bass. I saw them at Port Vale football ground supporting Motorhead - Ozzy was on the bill with Randy Rhodes and Rudy Sarzo on guitar and bass respectively. My first was Gillan with John McCoy on bass, Bernie Torme on guitar, Colin Towns, keys, and Mick Underwood on drums. Support were two bands called Quartz and White Spirit, the latter having a young Janick Gers (now Iron Maiden) on guitar. [/quote] Whoa, my lot supported Janek when he was in White Spirit and we got a gig through him supporting Gillan as well. Me Ma still has the poster with White Spirit and us from Hartlepool Town Hall . My first was Quo, with Alan on bass, Darlington Civic Theater 1967, I was just turned 9.

    Permission to swear requested Sah! Seriouslt though, well done that man.

    Dont know if anybody can help. 1995, one year run only, Yamaha Attitude Special, the cheaper one. I want to try and get a brown tortie plate made for this, so that's one thing. The bigger issue (yeah, really life threatening ) is the plastic cover for the neck woofer pick up. I know there is no chance of a tortie, but can anybody point me in the right direction for a black or chrome one please? Dimensions length 9cm/ 3.5 inch, width 5.4 cm/2.25 inch, depth 0.8cm/ 10/32's of an inch. Just to make it trickier it is hollow inside and has 4 screw holes, photos attached. Not much chance I know, but a man's gotta try . Cheers, Karl.[attachment=116936:DSCF0058.JPG][attachment=116937:DSCF0059.JPG][attachment=116938:DSCF0060.JPG]

    Nah, he's a wanted man there. "Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there"

    Thanks for the comments and bumps guys. Tom, aboot? Have you gone Caledonian . Hope your health is continuing to improve.
  12. karlfer
    Put my P on Gumtree this morning and I've come back to 4 emails . Here's hoping.
  13. karlfer
    Nowt wrong with advertising it elsewhere, I sold my last bass on Preloved, there was no interest on here. Certainly not me offering £550 Dave, until I saw that Gumtree ad I was going to offer £650. Even after seeing that ad I will still offer £600 plus postage. Sadly, to do that, I have to sell my USA Precision first and that may take a week or so. Being selfish, hopefully yours or Waveydays will still be around for a week or so yet. However, good luck regardless, cheers, Karl.
  14. karlfer
    Christ on a bike, that's cheap
  15. karlfer
    Good, it's oN here as well so I know what to offer him if I sell my P . Edited for spelling again! So few words, so few spelt right.
  16. karlfer
    2 days, no comments, no questions, no offers. Seen Japanese Aerodynes on here at £700 and Mexican Road Worns at more than that. Surprised no comments at all on White/tortie/rosewood USA Precision. C'mon guys, I need a white Marcus Miller pretty please
  17. karlfer
    Traded with me for my Schroeder 1515L, as this takes up less space and Chris was persuasive . Will be back up for sale in next couple of days, as I already have a Shuttle 6.
  18. karlfer
    My P went up last night kinda bump. Bugger all interest mind
  19. karlfer
    Shame John, but, in cliche man mode, something will turn up. Good luck, Karl.

    We will do around 50 this year, 10 booked in for next year. Our excellent drummer does the bookings and boy is he tenacious. 4 of the gigs booked for next year are in places he has been trying to get into for 3 years.

    [quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1345855559' post='1782555'] just turn it up , twiddle some knobs and enjoy............. [/quote] This

    This is only up whilst the 2 white Marcus Millers are up. If they go first this is withdrawn. As it says, it's the 2008 model which has high mass bridge, graphite rods, rolled fingerboard, string through bridge. Just been professionally set up and fret dressed as a couple of frets were too high. White, tortie plate, rosewood fretboard. Pics soonish. Good but not perfect condition. Looks immaculate from the front but there are a few tiny dinks, non through the wood. There are also some scrapes at the back of the top horn, don't know if they will photograph. £650 collected from Wigan, £675 couriered to you. Bank transfer or cleared cheque, sorry, no PAINPal and UK ONLY. Please see my feedback near the bottom. Fender gigbag included, anybody close enough please come and try. Cheers, Karl.

Will trade for a White Marcus Miller.

    Cheers lads. Yeah, put him in recommended section a year or two back, he really is excellent. He has asked if he can have a look at my Yam Attitude as he's had a request to make a custom left handed one. I've gone through the spec on mine and a real one, dead chuffed to be asked to be honest. This white P was taken in a trade and I was going to flog it as I have serious Marcus Miller GAS. May not bother now .

    Sold

    karlfer replied to Geddys nose's topic in Basses For Sale

    Currently looking at off licenses to turn over to buy this. Really looking for a Marcus Miller but that is such a great price for an Alembic, sigh.

    So, bass been in with Ritchie Tomson, Wigan for a week. He is a maestro. Got the call to pick it up this morning. Goes in and I'm sure I heard mutterances about baboon fisted amateur bass players . One dual action truss rod tweek, one set up, a bit of hanging off the wall to let the graphite rods re-adjust, and one bit of fret dressing later, PERFECTA CHEESE . Asked the scary question, how much???? He calmly answered that as I almost single handedly keep him employed, £35. Cheers Ritchie, baboon man will undoubtedly see you soon. Karl. THANKS for all the sage advice chaps, I'm such a talentless wuss.
