Always a great show! Next for me is Those Damn Crows in Feb with a group of friends. And then again in March, a week later, with MiniMert 😀

This looks very cool indeed. Thankfully we’ll out of my price range and I’m very happy with my Trace head but… nice!

Replaced by the Digbeth range which, by all accounts, is very good indeed

So I’m likely out then! Boo

I’m in, with the caveat that I’m already in discussions to buy an expression pedal but with one thing and another the purchase has been pushed into this year. Is that allowed? The only thing which may push me off the wagon this year is if the 100W Stoneham comes to fruition. Other than that I genuinely do not want or need anything for once….

This Trace Elliot ELF never ceases to amaze me!!!!
Merton replied to Mike Bungo's topic in Amps and Cabs
Mine is noisy but I only notice it at home; in a gig setting there’s plenty of other stuff noisier. In comparison the fan on the TE-1200 is whisper-quiet -

2x10 Cab recommendations to match a 500w head
Merton replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Amps and Cabs
Slightly above your budget but a bloody good cab by all accounts: -

This is very much a feeler; the ACG Mule I have for sale hasn’t moved so seeing if there’s more interest in this. What we have here a gorgeous example of Alan’s exotic wood options - the “Fractal Mac” ebony top is crazy cool, different and interesting. When I specced this bass I was playing relatively regularly with an 80s rock band; the original plan was a stained black body but seeing this top on Alan’s Instagram brought in some spec creep… So, the specs: 5 string (low B) 32” scale White limba body, fractal mac top 3-piece ash neck with carbon rods, asymmetric neck carve Rosewood board, zero radius Reverse 1+4 headstock with matching fractal mac veneer 2x ACG Overwound reverse PB ceramic pickups (essentially a P split pickup in a soap bar case, and reversed so treble side is nearer the neck) East/ACG P-Retro with active/passive switch, 4-way pickup select switch (bridge, both parallel, both series, neck) Hipshot B-type bridge, 17mm string spacing Gotoh tuners Currently strung with Newtone nickel strings Comes with Warwick Rockbag Price is for collection from Horley, Surrey. Postage not possible as I don’t have any suitable boxes, sorry!

A few options in the classifieds, the last one is the most compact -

Merton replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Amps and Cabs
What’s your budget? TBH if it’s for practicing the power rating of the cab is even less useful than normal (plenty of threads on here explaining why); if you’re not going to be thrashing the amp then just get something that fits! -

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

I was just getting pics of my 32” scales for that thread and decided I needed an updated family shot for my shorties. Left to right: ACG Mule fretless ACG TKO Classic Conway Instruments Taranis fretless 5 -
It’s about time I updated this. I now have two sets of non-identical twins plus a cousin for one set of twins… Zoot Funkmeisters: ACG Finns: ACG Skelf:

2022: basses bought minus basses sold equals.....
Merton replied to Munurmunuh's topic in General Discussion
Started 2022 with 6 basses. 0 out (yet, there’s still time…) 2 in, though strictly one was paid for in 2021, it only arrived in 2022. Looks like I’ll be finishing on +2 at 8. Best we don’t talk about amps and cabs… Definitely need to abstain next year. -
Probably the Trace Elliot TE-1200 helped over to these shores by @Russ. It’s a stupendously good amp and makes a exactly the noises I want. A very close call between that and my glorious new Zoot P5, though strictly that was a 2021 purchase 🤓

For Sale - ACG Mule chambered fretless 30.5” scale REDUCED £1350 - *SOLD*
Merton replied to Merton's topic in Basses For Sale
Hello! The P-Retro was swapped out by Alan before I bought the bass, but I'm sure he would have one you could buy to put back in if you so desired. The coil positions on the BZ1 are: ceramic single coil -> ceramic and alnico parallel -> ceramic and alnico series -> alnico single coil. I did a little video to show the differences, albeit with a different bass - will find it and link it -
I wish…. It’s going on car repairs 😭

Pretty sure the Ashdown account on Basschat died the moment Lee left… he was the one with the login details!
