[quote name='Trueno' timestamp='1493221135' post='3286664'] In the spirit of the OP... I picked up the bass because I couldn't manage the full six strings in the standard gee-tar. Why would I want to complicate that by adding one more... and me back couldn't handle the extra weight anyway... [/quote] Same here, glad I did!!

These little doozies are my new tone now I have no valve amp (Di straight to the pa from now on) I have an autowah, microsynth and octave pedals to go with them. From the YouTube reviews, I am looking forward to trying them out!

Olivier bought my TE Hexavalve head from me, great comms nice fella. He is based in Europe and met me a Dover port to collect. I would happily sell to him again.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1493059146' post='3285304'] My funeral bass is going to be funding my car repairs this week to get the kids to and from nursery. [/quote] Yep, my kit has just paid for a new wheel bearing, belt pulley and dpf. It's a Nissan primastar, A gift that just keeps on giving!

Well, I sold my Hexavalve to a lovely fella from Belgium. He met me at Dover port a really nice guy. He paid via bank transfer, however, it came out £6 short, I didn't mind. We meet up and low a behold, he has brought some traditional locally brewed beer as a gift! I had one last night, absolutely beautiful beer! Sweet, light with plenty of head. 9% mind, so I only had 1 (he gave me three 75cl bottles). It's been said before, but some really top people on BC, a great community to cherish! Cheers Olivier, enjoy the amp!

What about shed7 - disco down?

Ok, it's gone... so who had it??? In a way I'm glad at my procrastination, i could have recieved a bass that I really didn't 'feel'..... that's what I'm telling myself anyway. If the new owner is on here, fancy a NBD review? 😀

Thanks all for the responses, best wait and see if I have a sale then!

Just a quick question all, I may be about to sell an item within Europe via bank transfer. Aside from waiting 24 hours once the credit has been recieved into my account, is there anything else I need to ensure? Are there any different rules/abilities in recalling the credit by a European bank (as I understand U.K to U.K. transfers are pretty final)? Thanks in advance..

Ah ok thanks!

Hello all, How do I skip to the most recent post on a topic that is many pages long when using BC mobile? I have a iPhone. Thanks, Andrew

I'm still mulling over it, I fancy giving it a try, but I think I will be unlikely to get my money back if I want to sell.

..... when you are not interrupted by the Bingo.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1491555207' post='3273875'] I always keep my gear in the house. I bought a couple of cabs once that had been kept in an unheated garage over winter and they smelled musty and damp. They worked OK but surely on a long term basis that can't be good for them. Apparently our cat used to get into my 118 Mesa Boogie cab through the large slot ports at the bottom. I discovered this one night when it appeared in front of me on the pavement after I'd just unloaded outside a local gig! I managed to catch the thing and get it back into the car and back home before I had to start playing. [/quote] Now you come to mention it, I did have a Trace 2x10 monitor cab once that I stupidly kept in a shed, it didn't take long for the diaphragm material to become so damaged it split during a gig.

I leave our in the garage, it is an internal one though (i.e. Part of the house with heating)... occasionally I leave stuff in the van, but am not keen on it.

I'd go try it if I were closer, although I could pay a visit and spend the day trying different basses!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1491480005' post='3273362'] If it is anything like my old four string, very shallow (front to back) but quite wide (top to bottom). As viewed from a playing position, that is. Very flat radius. Extremely easy to set and maintain a very low action (if that is what you want). Graphite can feel a bit cold in the winter though - and even get condensation forming on it if you bring the bass from a cold car into a hot sweaty gig! [/quote] Ahh cool, the string spacing is quite small though?

Would this be a nice fast, slim neck? I'm not a baseball bat type of guy.

Oooooooooohhhh I want to sell the Warwick SS2 now!!!

Lovely, Wembley '86 on video, rewind, play, pause, rewind play, until I got it with my first bass at 14. It was even a black Encore P.

Cool, nice outcome then...
