That’s an insane price! Not sure enough people appreciate how good these are - good luck with the sale!

I would be a little concerned with the low power of the amplifier. I feel that you would need a cabinet with high sensitivity to avoid running out of head room too early.

Thankfully the VS212 (and I presume the LB212) was super efficient.

What @ossyrocks said ☝🏻

I had almost exactly that rig (CTM100 and VS212) and it was plenty for gigs, assuming they weren’t massive or you had PA support if they were.

Back in the Sandberg fold after picking up this nice soft core aged Lionel from a fellow basschatter yesterday. Just fitted my strap locks of choice and I’ll pick up some appropriate string’s tomorrow (it’s currently wearing some longscale flats…) and then it’ll be good for next weekends gigs.

Didnt know what to expect on the relicing, it’s very different to my JMJ, doesn’t look artificial at all, similar to how my old 1990 Stingray looked after 15 years of heavy use.

Oh my, that is exactly the Lionel spec I would choose. If you ever want to move it on, please let me know. I suspect you will enjoy it for many years though!

I’m seeing @asingardenof in two weeks, and will be driving back down south to Surrey. Wrong side of the country but if it helps bring it closer to someone who can take it across then I’m happy to help

Oh my days. This is causing me some serious wobbles in the whole abstinence challenge!

Shall I tell them about your foray into playing what Charles Berthoud refers to as a "six string piccolo bass"?

Shhhhhh! (Note - this isn’t me, it’s my evil twin)

Just on the way home from a bloody marvellous Katy Hurt gig at the Fiddler’s Elbow in Camden. Was hot, was rocking, was great fun.

Roll on the two Northern dates in a fortnight. And hopefully many more as the summer gets into gear…

So sorry for your loss @Gasman 

Bargain. I love mine!

@Rich look at me, I’m helping 😀

Is a power supply "bass gear"?  Surely it's a tier 2 failure at best?  I don't think this is a significant enough transgression.  Thoughts everyone?

I concur.

Almost fell but realised it was a pointless purchase, so I’m still in!

This is whispering sweet nothings in my ear. One VERY stupid question, the Shiftline website has loads of videos with IRs included; I presume that’s all separate and this doesn’t have IR capability like the Olympic?

Haven’t played a Silverstone but the Monaco and Monza cabs are exceptional. Seems a very fair price for a superb bit of boutique, British engineering.

Ridiculous bargain! @danbanbass you’re onto a winner 🤠

Ah Martin, sorry to hear that. Good luck with the next steps

If this is still here in mid April I may be in trouble 😄

Oh my that is delightful

Surprised this is still here. Such a good amp, very fair price and a great guy to deal with

Very sad news indeed

Dealt with Nick on a couple of occasions and he was always an absolute gent. Thoughts with his family and friends.

I’ve not checked in with Martin for ages tbh, I know he was close to getting the prototype tested with local players but it’s been a while! Will ask

Still trying to work out how to afford this 😅

Thanks @Merton, and right back at you, as the saying goes ! 👍😁

 

So, what scale length are you playing now? 

 

 

32” is the biggest I have, some 30” basses have snuck in too 😆

Bargain!
