Looks very nice. I saw a few of these gold series in PMT and they all looked very well finished. Blocks and binding always gets my vote!

1970’s Fender Mustang Bass. Best strings for through body?
MungoBass replied to MungoBass's topic in Bass Guitars
I noticed a couple of Mustangs for sale on the Bay. One has a set of Fender long scale flats with both the A & E with string windings around the post, not the silks. That doesn’t sit right with me......but it’s fair to say I’m extremely fussy / particular / anal about my bass gear!!! -

La Bella low tension flats. Dumb question
MungoBass replied to fretmeister's topic in Accessories and Misc
I have a set on my AVRI Precision and like you had previously used TIs. At first I thought ‘what have I done?’ as the E string sounded so dead and dull, I thought there was something wrong or I had wrecked the string when cutting it. However after a few weeks they all balanced out and I love them. The used TIs went on a Jazz Bass and that was a good move too! -

I enjoy the La Bella flats on my Precision but they are the Low Tension set! -

MungoBass replied to MungoBass's topic in Bass Guitars
Thanks. I remember many years ago cutting down the length of a brand new roundwound E string and watching it unravel! I should have put a couple of 90 degree bends in it first..... It’s only ever happened once! Live and learn! -

Thank you and a light gauge too! No issues with the length as in the picture? -

MungoBass replied to MungoBass's topic in Bass Guitars
Brilliant - thank you. Would you say the tension is reasonably light? I have a set of LFTs on a Precision and certainly like the feel and sound. -

Thank you. This specific set of La Bellas had not hit my radar - they have now! -

Thanks very much - interesting to know that long scale flats may not be an issue.... -
I might have an early ‘70s Mustang on its way in the not too distant and wonder what strings other BC’ers recommend? Should I avoid flats as many manufacturers state ‘not suitable for string through body’ and bearing in mind the extra length on account of going through the body, would all short scale strings (flats or rounds) be long enough? The picture shows what I imagine to be a short scale set fitted - if these had silk windings, the E string nut and heading towards the first fret would be silk! My preference would be a set of nickel roundwounds - lightish gauge. Any recommendations out there please? Thank you. David

I bought this new last year, mainly as a decent headphone amp to use on holiday, so it had had very little use and is in excellent condition. It can easily slip into a gig bag pocket as it is just so small! It is very quiet due to a tiny fan and so is great for practice at home when connected to a cab. A high quality Neutrik speakon cable is included. Postage at buyer’s cost and risk but it would be very carefully packed. Collection in person welcomed.

This Limited Edition head is in exceptional condition and had very light home use only. It has been paired with a Barefaced One Ten (now sold) and has never been pushed hard - in fact, it has never left the house! It has the expected Markbass sound and controls, personally I really like the VLE and VPF controls that can shape the tone. According to Markbass, it produces 150w at 8ohm and 250w at 4ohm, either way, more than loud enough for use at home for me and the family! Comes in a lightweight aluminium carry case which has extra space to cut out other slots for cables etc. UK postage not a problem at buyer’s cost and risk but it would be well packed. Collection in person welcomed.
