    Great amps!

    What's the current finish? It's worth remembering that some poly fnishes gloss up again over time unless you go down to the wood.

    Wise words! Always good to keep your nuts tight or your ball bearings lubed, whichever straplock system you use.

    And the Demeter 400. Sold my 800, always regretted it, now got a 400

    I am loving the 1210! I've had the chance to run it at volume now and it sounds really great. It can get very loud but retains its shape very well. I especially like the down-firing port on the bottom, which can be plugged if its booty gets too big.

    Lusher than a lush thing, the Smiths from this time are superb. I had a 6 string version from this same series (although mine was the reverse of the body woods, so quilt maple over walnut) and it played, as the Americans would say) like butter.

    I bought this but have never used it, so it's mint in the box. This foot switch is constructed with steel which is built to withstand heavy use. This product is hard wired at the side with Lynx pro audio cable which is 6 Foot (1.82 Metres) in length. This terminates in a Stereo 6.3mm (1/4″) jack plug. Dimensions: 4.5 Inches in width, 2.5 in height and 7.6 in Length. £13 posted

    I bought this to put on a pedalboard, but very quickly realised pedals aren't for me, so this is pretty much min condition. Small amount of velcro on the bottom, otherwise in excellent condition with original box. £25 posted.

    This is the XLT amp bag made by Markbass as part of their Mark Audio range. It is 57cm long by 27cm deep and 20 cam tall. It has a shoulder strap, carry handles with a nice leather pad. Inside is a single padded compartment, externally it has a front pocket and a handy pocket on the top (the Evo 1 foot pedal fits perfectly in here). This one has only ever been taken to rehearsals and is in pretty much perfect condition. These are around £80 new in the UK, if you can find them. I am asking for £55 posted or £50 collected.

    Wow, surprised to see this. I thought that combo was staying with you forever Barrie!

    My favourite bit in these videos is when he explains and then demonstrates syncopation in the Rio video and then says "well I could listen to that all day". Speaks for generations of bass players in that moment I think

    The white nylons have been my default string for fretless since they were released. I love their tone, sustain, tension and chunky gauge (I use the standard, heavier, gauge). The copper whites were lovely too, but they've stopped making them in extra long which I need for my fretless (strung through body, see pic below), so I am just using whites. I also have a set of medium scales on my fretted Epiphone Masterbilt. The black nylons are great if you want the same feel but with a darker tone. They may be expensive but they last years, so it all evens out in the end (as long as you like them of course).

    It's a Jaydee bass for sure. Perhaps the other person is John Diggins, or someone from Rotosound? Looks like a trade show. It's a Jam t shirt.

    Many moons ago, Bruce strolled into a pub I was gigging at in Guildford. He hung around at the back of the room until we took a break and then came over, introduced himself (as if we didn't know who he was!) and then offered to buy a round. He sat and chatted with us until it was time to go back on, and then stayed to listen to most of the second set. He particularly enjoyed it when we played "Thick as Thieves" Decent chap.

    Giving this a run tonight. It's not that powerful, at only 30 watts, but through the FMC cab it puts out plenty of volume and sounds lush 😍

    La Bella nylon flats are superb on fretless. Dunlop flats are also really good.

    So glad I'm back with a Demeter amp again.  Such a wonderfully clear, warm tone.  Impossible to get a bad sound from it.

      That’s it. Clockwise for more gain.

      It's not the most tweak-friendly location, for sure....

    Damn, if this had been here on Monday I'd have been over before the end of the day. As it is I bought a Demeter instead....
