Can anyone reccomended a multi-effects pedal for a technically challenged old guy. I’m looking for something that isn’t too bamboozling. Thanks in advance.

That's a very shiny looking fingerboard. Are those flat wounds you've got on there?

Yes indeed. It comes from the factory with D’addario XL Flatwounds.

Took delivery of this Sire V5 Fretless today. I am blown away by the quality of this bass for not too much money.

My V5 Fretless has just been delivered. I’ve not even taken the plastic off yet but here’s a photo as promised. I can’t believe the quality of this instrument for the money.

Pictures please 

I’ll be happy to oblige when the bass gets delivered this week sometime.👍

I’m about to have my first foray into the Sire world. I’m presently waiting on a Sire V5 Fretless 4 string in tobacco burst. It is due to be delivered next week. Can’t wait!

Hi Gregor, If a potential buyer contacts you by private message are you going to provide the photographs and info that is being suggested in previous posts. It may help if you can give this assurance.

It’s because it’s an early CS.

As per this bass - 

 

Many thanks for clearing that up for me. Every day is a school day.👍

Bit confused as to the serial number beginning with a ‘V’. That usually shows that the bass is a vintage reissue. The fender serial number site isn’t coming up with anything for that serial number. 

I’m almost certain I owned this bass some moons ago. It was an absolute beauty. Someone will be getting a great instrument.

I’ve just purchased a Hiscox case due to the company closing down. I wanted to make sure I got one of the last ones. Fortunately, I got one from a retailer who still had one in stock.

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.

Message sent.

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.
