    Andy bought a bass from me. Decisive, did what he said he's do, when he said he'd do it. Lovely bloke as well. Yet another great ambassador for our community. Fully recommended, deal with confidence, top bloke. Enjoy Andy and thanks again, cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='largo' timestamp='1477924635' post='3165280'] It depends if you are looking to get the same volume from a smaller, more efficient rig. I've got a couple of Barefaced One10 cabs and they are ridiculous in terms of the volume I can get from them vs their size. However, on the bigger stages there are times when I wish I had just that bit more. After reading Kevin Deans reviews of the new Ashdown Rootmaster-EVO 12" white cabs & the fact it knocked a couple of BF Super Compactsout of his rig, I am seriously interested in trying these out too. I believe there's an upgrade option that gives 700W speakers in a 12" 10KG cab. [/quote] Largo, could you point me in the right direction for that review please, I'm interested but too dozy to find it Cheers, Karl.

    £310 bid retracted. Somebody smelt the coffee.

    [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1477341742' post='3161625'] Before this goes too far and gets misunderstood, in my 4 and a half years in the U.K., I have had the pleasure of being in a band and regularly playing with 4 quality drummers. I have never been in band and thinking, "I wish the drummer could get it together". That's said, we all, myself especially, make slip ups. My question is, when a drummer miss hits and stalls for the microsecond that feels like a lifetime, do you A: keep time and hope the drummer catches up B: time your next note to fall with the next kick drum/snare/ Symbol and hope the guitars cotton on and shift back into line. Reason I ask, I find myself doing both of these at times, but sometimes whichever one I do feels wrong. Ultimately, it's live music, and we plough on, I'm just curious to know how you all manage this!! [/quote] Get used to it pal, believe me! And option A, always option A

    Andy came from London to Wigan to try out my bass (ok, he was fitting in a gig in Manchester as well ). Really nice guy who did exactly what he said he'd do, when he'd do it. Absolute pleasure to deal with and fully recommended by Il Gobbo (ie me). All he best Andy, enjoy the bass and thanks again, cheers, Karl.

    He's wrong about knobs. There's the ones that have bid nearly £300 on it so far.

    [quote name='12stringbassist' timestamp='1477586034' post='3163213'] [/quote] These three are top blokes, top musicians run a good jam and it's a good venue. Get yourself there and get on the page Ian linked in post #9 You will have a great night and a good laugh. Also, with the NW bands website, although you can't register, some of the ads do put a phone no on. Good luck, won't take you long to find a band.

    Thanks Paul, that is really kind of you Bass is on hold folks, thanks for all the interest,
  13. karlfer
    All pm's replied to thanks Sorry, I think the price for this modded bass is fair to buyer and seller so I'm not taking offers I'm afraid. Also my apologies to the 3 from the continent who were making serious enquiries. UK only.

    [quote name='Number6' timestamp='1477616216' post='3163431'] Got one en route [/quote] Congrats you free man you. NBD review asap please
  15. karlfer
    Yeah but I love the Streamliner as well. Only reason I'm looking at PUMA is I now have a fabulous Schroeder 2 x 12 plus bullet horn. Jorg (Schroeder) fully endorses and sells EICH and reckons they are superb with his cabs. So TecAmp/Eich are much the same. So it would be rude not to try
  16. karlfer
    And replied, thanks Andy. On hold thanks folks.

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1477599729' post='3163332'] Tempting! Will see if I can shift a few pedals to raise some funds for one, be a potential guinea pig for you guys. [/quote] Sell your MIJ 'Arry, buy a short and a long scale and have some loot spare Think Jow's sold one or two current stock in the last couple of days.
  18. karlfer
    That looks fabulous Steve (and he's a great bloke to deal with folks). That amp looks loud just sitting there
  19. karlfer
    A chap playing the short scale version. I believe Jow has put a 10% discount on his current stock as he's going to concentrate on the custom options route. https://youtu.be/X6ym9CPP5Wo

    Thanks guys, appreciated. I'm hoping the Mexican Precision goes 1st. As I said on the other advert I'm raising funds for a custom Jow Dirtybird (single pickup, non reverse Thunderbird, in Sea Foam Green with matching headstock). That's a very long term itch that needs scratching

    [quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1477579896' post='3163150'] Trades? [/quote] Sorry Alex no, it's a fundraiser for a custom Jow Dirtybird EDIT, unless you have an immaculate PUMA 500 or 900 and would also like some cash from me [quote name='MELLOW' timestamp='1477579926' post='3163151'] PM'd [/quote] And replied Franck

    No longer available in this colour. In my opinion an excellent bass at this price. A few small dint's plus one in the neck. Yes, sometimes you can feel the neck dint. Very light at just over 8lb. If my Mex Precision goes this will be removed from sale. Superbly set up and ready to gig. Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

    Very good but gigged condition 2005 Mexico Precision bass guitar in Agave Blue. Upgraded Kent Armstrong pickup. Upgraded Gotoh bridge. Tatty gig bag. Spare black scratchplate. Some hard to see little dints, one major one, see picture. Superbly set up gigging bass. A new Mex Standard P is just shy of £600 and is unlikely to be as well sorted as this one. It certainly won't have the pups , bridge or oiled board. Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='therealting' timestamp='1477296741' post='3161101'] Has anyone added a "stealth" woofer pickup to their bass for those EB-style lows? I have one on my Yamaha Attitude Special and it sounds great mixed in with the P pickup. I'd love to have one hidden on a normal-looking P bass, I imagine I'd have to use quite a powerful one since it would be below the pickguard. [/quote] If it's the bass I think it is, then it's not really a "stealth" pick up is it? What you might like to consider is getting such a pick up, WITH a cover, then routing the body and cutting a hole in the scratchplate. Sorry I've not got many photos of what I mean, but you can just about see it on this one.
