I always check profile for achievements and date joined etc before having a look through the feedback threads.

 

Will check the Midget Cab thread as I'm not aware of what happened.

You are absolutely correct in checking feedback. A problem however is that not everyone leaves feedback even when they have benefitted from feedback in a particular transaction. I would urge everyone to take a moment to leave feedback when it has been merited.

I really can’t understand why this beautiful bass is still here at what is an incredible asking price. I have a USA Classic 44-64 Precision. These are hand made, very high quality basses. If I had the money this bass would be on it’s way to me.

My USA Classic 44-64 and USA Series 44-60.

Have just purchased a Mesa Boogie WD800 from Chris.  A thorough gent and a credit to this forum. 

Wizard also produced a ‘trad’ version of their precision pickup. I have one of these but have not as yet fitted it to any of my p basses. The pickup is from the ‘Andy’ era but I don’t know anything about how they sound. I would imagine they will live up to their name and produce a nice rounded tone reminiscent of pre CBS precisions.

https://www.basscentre.com.au/ - brilliant shop on the south bank. Loads of stock, and a lot of lovely high-end stuff too. 

 

As an added bonus, if you like acoustic guitars, the upstairs of the shop has loads of lovely stuff. I am partial to an Australian Maton acoustic... 

Thanks for the advice Russ. My son and his wife are now living and working in Turkiye. However, it’s still great advice for anyone in Melbourne looking to buy a bass.👍

Got to ask about your two BF Two10S: I was thinking about getting a second but my amp can’t handle 2 ohms. If they are switched to 12 ohms, I assume that gives a total load of 6 ohms, which suggests you are not getting the max from the amp. How does it work for you?

I’m not great on the subject of ohms and all that. I did take advice from the guy at Barefaced before I added the 2nd 2x10. It gives plenty volume for what I do. I’ve included the photo of the back of the amp. The amp is a Fender Rumble 800. Hope others don’t mind me going off thread for a moment.

Just acquired this rather nice Lakland USA series 44-60 with black hardware.

Just added a USA Series 44-60 to accompany my USA Classic 44-64.

Nice one, enjoy!

 

When I saw the title, I was expecting to see the ACG that's being sold on Gumtree right now in Kemnay...

That one is a really good buy for someone.

Looks great! What top wood is that?

 

I have the same pickup arrangement

I believe it’s called white limba.

Very nice indeed.  Is that the one from Will?

It is. Well spotted.👍

I am well chuffed to have taken delivery of this ACG Graft 4 today. 
 

Very nice bass. I’m sure it would attract more interest if it was available for shipping.

I’m trying to find out if my old Musicman SUB 4 is still out there somewhere. If you know anything please get in touch. Here’s the pics with the serial number X08353

If it's the 2004 Jazz, the information provided is in the spiel about the bass.

I know that. The info I offered was the luthier that changed the fretboard, why it was changed and the significance of the inlay. I also included before and after photos. I thought all of this info would be appreciated by the new owner. However, as I say I wish I hadn’t bothered and I will take this thread as a learning curve. Sorry for taking up bandwidth unnecessarily.

I’m sorry I bothered. If I could delete the post I would. I was just concerned that’s all. I was in fact providing information on a bass currently for sale on Bass Bros that I had once owned. The info was all part of the history of the bass that had been converted from fretted to fretless by having the board changed. I thought that history was meant to help sell a bass and that sellers and new owners wanted provenance. But hey, I won’t do that again.

If in doubt get on the phone! I missed out on a bit of a dream bass because I’d emailed.

I’m not actually buying a bass.

So sad to hear this news. I did business with Nick and exchanged messages over the years. A great ambassador for Basschat and all things low end. Rest easy my friend.

I pointed at that thread because it contains a number of similar events to yours.

Ok. I just need a bit of patience.

I’m not doubting the service given by Bass Bros. I’m merely enquiring if anyone knows if there is a reason why I haven’t had a response from last week? I also have received good service in the past. This post is not intended as a criticism.

Does anyone know if everything is ok at Bass Bros. I sent three messages including an email over the last three days and haven’t had a response.

Should work OK through the effects loop, yeah.  Either that or stick it between the wireless receiver and the amp input, as if the wireless setup was a cable.

Thanks Matt. I am electronically challenged.👍

I have been gifted a wireless setup and am

liking it. My question is I want to use my Boss TU-2. I don’t use any other pedals and wondered can I connect the TU-2 in the effects loop of the amp. Will it work whilst I continue to use my wireless setup.
