    I wanted a Metroline with a vintage body and a 24 fret neck. They didn’t do this in left handed so it had to be a custom order. At the time they quoted a timescale just over three years. I’d expected to receive the bass in February and it finally arrived in July. I ordered through Wunjo who were superb throughout the entire process.

    Sorry to say I do have an Eames chair (reproduction) 😂

    After a wait of nearly four years my Sadowsky Metroline was delivered this week. It was a custom order as they didn't do a left hander with this specification. I think they have added it to the catalogue now though. Initial impressions are very good and it is slightly lighter than my four string Fender jazz.

    I've just today paid for my custom German Sadowsky which has finally arrived after 3 years wait otherwise I'd be all over a few of these.

    I have decided to keep this and move back to my larger pedal board to accommodate it. It is just too good to give up.

    Sushi Box FX Grand Slampegg with NOS Valve - £400 £370 Delivered in UK. Purchased direct from Sushi Box at the beginning of the year. Boxed and in mint condition. I replaced the valve with a JAN TUNG SOL Black Glass NOS valve which was highly recommended by B15 enthusiasts at an additional cost of £75. https://www.sushiboxfx.com/product/grand-slampegg/ https://www.langrex.co.uk/products/6sl7gt-vt229-jan-tung-sol-black-glass-nos-valve-tube-lc30/ It is a beautiful pedal but I don't have room for it on my pedalboard so it has seen little use as my main preamp is a Caveman Audio BP1. Potential buyers are welcome to demo in Glasgow.

    I bought this from them a month ago and returned it. The truss rod is broken. I got a very expensive quote to have it repaired but decided to return it. They did offer to let me keep it for a nominal sum but I really don't need an unplayable bass lying about the house. Shame as it was in otherwise great condition.

    You always have such unusual and interesting basses.

    I have its little brother the Minnow and love it. This is a superb bit of kit at a very good price. GLWTS.

    I played a Wal for over 30 years. It was pretty much my first bass. In all that time I never played a Fender. I got a Jazz a few years ago and absolutely love it and can’t believe it took me so long to discover. Mind you I had it PLEKd, fitted a new nut, changed the pickups, electronics, bridge and machine heads to make it my perfect bass. 😂😂

    Line 6 HX Stomp - £380 Delivered in UK. Mint condition, boxed with PSU and manuals. I will also include 2 x external footswitches. The first is a great Pedalnetics which can sit on top. The second is a Bright Onion HXFS which is designed to match the look of the HX Stomp. Purchased in June last year from Thomann. I've only been using this for an octave effect for one song as the tracking is great. Selling as I need to reclaim the space on my pedalboard and so have replaced it with an OC-5. Potential buyers are welcome to try out in Glasgow.

    I have one of these installed in my MTD bass. It really is amazing.

    John East J-Retro 01 Preamp - £125 Delivered in UK. Purchased from John East in September 2023 and comes with original box. I love this preamp and only selling as I have a new Sadowsky incoming and have reverted my Fender jazz to passive with flats. https://www.east-uk.com/product/j-retro-01/?v=7885444af42e

    I love mine. I take the point about the cost being equal to a second hand PF-20T but you can't put that on a pedalboard.

    I've always done this and for me it has been a great help in learning the neck, memorising songs etc.

    I've owned many many compressors and my constant favourite is the Keeley Compressor Pro. There is something magical about it.
  20. JohnR
    I owned this compressor and found it worked best at the end of the chain as a mastering compressor as Steen advises.

    It's worth the money for me. I bought it with the intention of using it for valve warmth on a few old tunes but the beautiful harmonic content it adds to my tone means it has become an always on pedal.

    Mine was delivered with a customs sticker telling the post office not to deliver until they had taken a charge of £80. However, the postman just handed it over and I was never asked for payment. I'm guessing it fell through the net due to the Xmas rush.

    Stop Press! I've just had the official Bergantino gig bag delivered for this amp which I will include. I'd ordered this months ago and forgotten about it as it's been out of stock everywhere for the past several months.
