  1. [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Pretty hesitant to do this, as you can't buy these anymore. But currently, i don't play through an amp, and i need some cash, so here it is. I will add some photos later today but its in very good condition, just a few scratches on the top. As i said, they don't make them anymore (no idea why), so you may not have heard one, but they sound fantastic. A real authority to the sound. I will not use the "H" word. Quality, quality amp at any price. At this price it is an absolute bargain. I've played a lot of Class D amps, and this is my favorite, by a long way.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]There is a 72 page thread on a certain site that you will find all the reviews or information you would ever need. That's here:[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/nad-the-best-amp-ive-ever-heard-kustom-kxb500.1094234/"]https://www.talkbass.com/…/nad-the-best-amp-ive-ever-heard…/[/url][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Any other questions feel free to ask. I will courier, and will be happy to use buyers preferred courier. But if you can come and try it first, you should![/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]This is advertised elsewhere, so if it sells there, it will be removed Thanks for looking[/font][/color]
  2. [quote name='Ashweb' timestamp='1490812768' post='3268299'] recently relocated to Cardiff with work and have just started with Jon Caulfield who is on here. Had my second lesson with him last night and I can see this working very well. All of which reminds me, I need to go do some practice... [/quote] You're in good hands. Tell him Kert said to ask about learning the floating thumb technique
  3. Amazing! Deserves the notoriety. Well done mate
  4. [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1490656788' post='3266873'] Good luck! [/quote] Thanks
  5. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1490650123' post='3266822'] Oh no...one of Andy's most beautiful Basses....loads of us followed the build - like watching a child develop. There's no doubting Andy's work - somebody's going to get an absolute blinder. Hoping that your financial situation sorts itself out and you don't need to sell. [/quote] It's a fantastic bass, no doubts. I'm devastated to have to sell, but family come first.
  6. [quote name='fiatcoupe432' timestamp='1490642173' post='3266743'] Just wow.....beautiful instrument you have there [/quote] Thanks. I agree
  7. Forgot to say, it's in the same condition as the day i bought it. I've looked after it! Only thing ive changed is the strings, but i can include them if you prefer the sound of halfwounds as there was still plenty of life in them when i changed them
  8. It's with the weight of impending redundancy that i'm having to sell a few things. Unfortunately, this is the only thing i own of this value, so i'm going to have to take the hit to cover my mortgage etc when i'm in unemployment. Wouldn't even consider selling it otherwise. Here it is: [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/SingleCut1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Singlecut%203.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Singlecut%204.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Singlecut%205.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/SingleCut%202.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Singlecut%207.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Singlecut%206.jpg.html"][/url] It was built by the very talented AndyJR who is also on this forum, and you can see the full build process here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/271204-single-cut-camphor-and-alder-pj/page__hl__camphor%20singlecut"]http://basschat.co.u...hor%20singlecut[/url] You can see my review of it here (Including a video giving you a sample of the natural sound of the bass as it was recorded directly with no effects or processing. Please wear earphones): [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/284440-the-ajr-custom-bass-a-hobbyists-build/page__p__3043473__hl__camphor__fromsearch__1#entry3043473"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry3043473[/url] It has been featured alongside other top end boutique basses in the No Treble Bass of the Week article here: [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2016/06/20/bass-of-the-week-ajr-guitars-singlecut-bass/"]http://www.notreble....singlecut-bass/[/url] It's an unbelievable bass. Superb range of tones. Craftmanship of the absolute highest quality, as anyone who has played any of Andys' basses will attest to. The hardware and woods alone cost over £1500. Here is the spec: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]* Singlecut bass[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]* Chambered body made from Alder, with a [/font][/color]Camphor[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]top.

[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Would prefer you to come and try the bass so you can see how good it is for yourself before buying. But i will courier, at buyers cost and risk![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Like i said, i'm selling because i have to, so don't offer me trades. I'm pretty sour about having to sell it at all [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Thanks for looking[/font][/color]
  9. I feel your pain. I haven't gone through a lot, but i have the same issues cropping up all the time, and it's always a "drum issue". Exhausting
  10. Another quality bass. Getting a bit good at this Andy
  11. [quote name='Bassman Rich' timestamp='1489138841' post='3254609'] Its looking great, and thanks for the thread, very interesting. Did you ever think not to have a scratchplate and let all the glittery top shine out?? I'm starting to do a squire affinity telecaster, and bought some custom car sprays, a silver base coat and a candy tangerine top coat, so I wont have the same glittery problems as you, but my thinking is I would probably hate to cover u all the lovely orangey colour with a scratchplate, so am going to fill the screw holes in with wood filler first. If I ever get beyond routing out the new pups (going for twin Gretsch esque powertron types , actually black cats from the creamery in manchester), I'll maybe start a thread of my own. [/quote] Sounds like a good build! I did think about not using a scratchplate, but i just prefer the look of having one really. Nothing more to it than that. I mixed green purple and a shiny iridescent colour here, but my other choice was red , orange and yellow. So i'd like to see what a orange one would look like!
  12. There is kind of a table to the left once you press "view new content" Make sure your selections in that table are as you want them
  13. Survivor by Destiny Child. Its a cool arrangement and the crowd always seems to enjoy it. I'm guessing it's not a song many people cover?
  14. I think mine might be most simple so far... Warwick Streamer or AJR singlecut ---> Yamaha mixing desk Touch of compression and EQ'd to the room. I like the sound of my basses
  15. Here are some pictures of the bass Boosh just sent me
  16. I know Boosh and just want to say have no fear regarding buying this bass. Boosh may not have feedback on here, but he's good people and a top player, so buy with confidence. Its a cracking bass too
  17. [quote name='Rikki_Sixx' timestamp='1487775633' post='3242730'] Woohoo, glad to see this one finished!! It looks great, I bet it was a bugger getting the finish smooth with all that glitter! Sounds like you found a smart way of doing it though! Bet it looks killer in the flesh. You glad to have it finished? Hope the shoulder is on the mend! [/quote] Cheers Rik. Shoulder will never be 100% (damn rugby), but we are getting there. I'll be honest, it isnt smooth as a gloss finish, and you can definitely feel the flake. But its not like sandpaper either. Kind of inbetween! I am happy with it though. Looks wise. Just gotta sort the electronics out and it'll be gig ready. Definitely happy it's finished though
  18. See if you have a say on what drums your drummer uses and what guitar is used etc. Sounds a bit ridiculous to me mate. They've asked you to play bass, so unless it was a tribute, your choice of equipment shouldn't be down to anyone else surely? Especially if its just because of how it looks. A swift "Feck off" should do it
  19. Haha. Yeh, i think that's the main reason i wont be doing another for a while haha
  20. If you have that kind of budget, get a Sei
