  1. Not sure if this is sacrilege but I want a Stingray, that looks like a Stingray, but isn't £2000. I know you can get Sub ones etc... but I'd rather buy a fake that looks the part. Is this a possibility? I know they do it with Fender and Gibsons.

     

    Thanks in advance for any advice...... or abuse!!!!!! 

  2. A lovely example of the now discontinued bass. Set up really well with a nice low action and sounds amazing.

     

    The neck is thick and plays like butter!!

     

    Is in immaculate showroom condition for a Road Worn!!  Very light for a P Bass too but has that old school thump and amazing vintage tone that cuts through the mix beautifully!

     

    Comes with Fender gig bag. Only selling as I have a few Precisions and want to buy another Jazz. Road Worn of course, the best series there is in my opinion!!

     

    The price is firm so no offers please.

     

    Can come and try out at my home in Barry.

     

    Thanks for reading,

     

    Dave.

    Good day @dave74200

     

    For me, learning songs that push me into areas I'm not used to eg: speed / style / genre etc. I slow them down using the likes of "Amazing Slow Downer" This allows my brain and body time to think 🤣 and I split the track down into manageable chunks. Once I've learned the sections I'll start joining them together (still at a slow speed) which helps me remember fingerings and start to build on stamina. Once I can play the whole track through I then start increasing the speed by a few % making sure I'm playing as cleanly and accurately as I can. I also use the likes of Youtube to check out how otheres are playing it, noting both left and right hands.

     

    "are some of us just less able to play in this style?" I don't think it's a case of "we can't" so much as "we've probably not learned the techniques and practiced it much" Mr Harris has been playing in this style for around 40 years so has a bit of a head start on most of us 🤣

    Thanks so much for your helpful response. I will get to work!!! I'll also look for that app as it sounds great! Thanks again, really appreciate it!!

  4. Good day,

     

    I want to play The Trooper with my fingers but really struggle to mantain the stamina and run out of gas very quickly. Any tips or ideas to build this please?

     

    Also, are some of us just less able to play in this style? I don't mind putting in the work but don't want to flog a dead horse!!!!!!

     

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  5. Thinking of trading or part exchanging my mint Road Worn Precision bass for a Stingray. Same colour scheme with maple neck ideally. This is mint and now discontinued. Plays, sounds and feels like a 50s P Bass should. Perfectly set up.

  6. I've bought a 610, which is great and also bought a thick padded vinyl cover for it separately. The issue is, it takes about 10 minutes to get it on. It's very snug indeed. Any ideas or tips? I'm thinking, take the back rails off or forget the cover!!!!!!

  7. An amazing bass, all stock, set up beautifully and plays and sounds like a dream. I just prefer the large neck of the RW P Basses. Not looking to trade for anything else. Comes in original gig bag with all case candy and set up with brand new 105 strings. I'll be genuinely sad to see the back of the Pure Vintage Pickups 😪

  8. Lovely warm sounding amp with dirt on tap and is powerful enough for any situation. Works perfectly and comes with carry bag. Switches between 4 and 8 ohms to always give you maximum thump!! Tubes have recently been replaced and have plenty of life left in them. An utter banger of an amp with masses of headroom.

     

    Why am I selling? I have far too many amps so have to sell one. If my SVT 2 Pro sells, I'll withdraw this one!

     

    Would rather collection but may consider posting. Cheers, Dave.

  9. If you're reading this you'll know these are one of the best amps ever produced. This amp has always served me perfectly and has to be heard to be believed. Yes, class D amps can sound good, but nowhere near this good! Plenty of life left in the tubes and has had a service before lockdown, and has had extremely little use since, hence the sale. Comes in 4u case. Can be viewed and played at my home. Collection only please. May consider smaller amp or very small cab in part exchange.

    Cheers,

    Dave.

  10. An amazing bass cab that is light as a feather but fills a large room with thunderous tone. The speakers are retro, vintage coloured sounding and the cab is 4 ohms. A perfect one cab solution and comes with official cover. To me, it sounds like a 410 but is much smaller and much more portable. In excellent condition and has never been driven too hard or abused in any way. Can be tested at my home, if it's still for sale it's available. No offers sorry as priced for quick sale.

  11. Hi all,

     

    I've never really been an effects type guy but bought a VT Bass pedal and love the sound of it. I'm going through an Orange Terror Bass and often leave it on all the time but am thinking that it's actually detracting from the tone. I have a Barefaced Retro 2x10 coloured cab too so I'm thinking it may all be a bit tooo much. I also use a Boss overdrive for the odd song in an indie covers band and am thinking, when that's on, I've got overdrive from that, and the VT bass pedal, and the amp!

     

    Does this make sense? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have a lovely solod sound that's not cutting through the mix!!

     

    Cheers, 

     

    Dave.
