Having owned the Blue Rock head a few years back I am intrigued by this. I thought that was a superb amp - and probably in terms of build quality and component spec, the Rolls Royce of amps - I just found that the Trace TE-1200 had a better natural tone for me, and had to work harder with the Glock to get it in the same happy place. But I reckon the Glock would be a more versatile head all told; this should in theory be more of the same good DNA!

It’s the handles at the front of the amp which make it a VERY snug fit. I know this because I just decided to buy one. It’s better than the Trace bag though!

That’s cute!

I did get a hint of sarcasm from that “I’m honoured…” comment 😁

Two positive reviews from two people who have only joined to post a positive review and nothing else. Am I getting cynical in my old age?

FS: Aguilar TH/AG Series Bag £40
Merton replied to Cairobill's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
I’m assuming this fits the AG/TH700 heads, so approx 12x9” internal dims? -
For sale only, no trades please. This is a superb medium scale, lightweight (7.7lb) take on a jazz from the stable of Mike Walsh/Zoot. Back in around 2018 I was hankering after a more traditional looking bass but being a convert to shorter scales it wasn’t so easy to find exactly what I wanted. Hence this commission, which has been a gorgeous bass to have in the family. Fast forward 7 years and things have changed a little, and I’m finding that the gigs where this was used are either no longer happening or I’m using my new ACG. In excellent condition bar a couple of very tiny marks which I’ve tried to picture. So, what is it? Mike’s Funkmeister body shape has been around a long time, with people speccing a variety of options over the years. This is the second medium scale he made, and it features a slightly slimmed down body vs the full scale model. Full specs: Idigbo body One piece maple neck Ebony board, bound with MOP blocks Nordstrand Big Split pickups Hipshot KickAss bridge Hipshot Ultralite elephant ear tuners Passive Vol / Vol / Tone Gloss black finish BWB scratchplate Dunlop straplocks The neck is ultra slim, so combined with the low weight this makes for a superbly playable instrument. It’s currently strung with some Status rounds, 40-100, and will be supplied with a gig bag. Collection in person from Merton Towers is preferred, so you can come and play it and be 100% happy. I’m about 5-10 minutes off the Gatwick junction of the M23. If you want it delivered, let’s talk and work out a suitable solution.- 2 replies

Great amp, bargain price. Love mine! -
Used, in great condition except the zip has a tendency to do what Pedaltrain gigbag zips have a tendency to do. Velcro already on, plus a tiny bit underneath where I had a power isolator. Price is posted to mainland UK. Please forgive the upside down pics 😆-

Couldn’t understand why I was getting no difference with my preamp set to “bypass” or “on. Spent the whole gig perplexed and convinced my hearing was shot. Nope, plugged into the “thru” output not the “effect” output. 😀

Nut width almost certainly 45mm I think -
The Gator bag is very slightly too tight from memory (I tried @eude’s one which holds his GK) but it does have the advantage of extra depth for cables. Will see if we can try it again asap.

As bargains go this is right up there.

I’ve tried to find something for the same reasons as you, but so far haven’t had any luck. So, “subscribed”, as they say..!

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
