  1. I like the look of that. A nice simple, uncluttered little amp. Nice
  2. I have one from 1999
  3. They are really good little things aren’t they. I’ve gigged one in a loud rock band with no PA support, and it coped through a single, albeit high end, 12” driver (Barefaced Super Compact, 8 ohms). There was no headroom left at all and it was getting a bit squishy with the in built limiting and compression but it handled it. A week or so back I A/B’d it with my 1000W Glock. To a degree it did surprisingly well but the Glock had more authority, cleanliness and clarity in the lows, which you’d expect.
  4. Oh yes. That’ll do nicely!
  5. Appreciate this is collection only but… another BC relay…? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Laney-Digbeth-Series-DB500H-500W-Bass-Amp-Head-/194984392245?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

    Cab Riser

    That works so well it took me ages to even see it in the first pic!
  7. I heard their first song on Planet Rock and didn’t really find my world set on fire, but on the back of this thread (thanks @NancyJohnson!) I’ve just spun the whole album twice. I like it. Not my usual choice but I definitely liked it. And Mrs Mert didn’t tell me to turn it off either, so that’s a good thing (in terms of harmony at home at least…)
  8. I saw this bass during its build and also got to briefly ogle it in the flesh when it was finished. It is sublime. If I didn’t already have a Zoot Funkmeister (plus another on the way….) I’d be considering this as my first foray into Zoot ownership. Plus Mark is a top notch chap
  9. Both by back and my bank account fainted when they saw that

    Ashdown ABM210H

    Yup. And Mark Gooday has long been an advocate for unlined cabs - there’s an interview where he says so but also admitted that the rest of the Ashdown crew were slowly twisting his arm to follow the science of lining them!
  11. @Russ - how are you getting on with this? Still waiting for a UK release to torment my bank account…
  12. Mods, please feel free to move this but figured it’d get more exposure here… I have a spare ticket for Skunk Anansie at Brighton Dome tomorrow because a friend’s had to drop out. Anyone fancy it?
  13. Damn, one appears to be on hold yes. Ah well.
  14. @tauzerohas one of the GR combos - forgive me I can’t remember which - but that was immediately my first thought reading your first sentence Mark. Id be very tempted by them or indeed the GK Fusion combo if I were looking at that sort of thing right now
  15. I woz there too. Great gig. Great, oft underrated band. Love the rhythm section, think Eric Kretz is one of my favourite drummers. Powerful but restrained and a really lovely fee and groove.
  16. Great amps, simple to use but easy to get a decent sound. Loud as flip too. Which of your plethora of Barefaced cabs will you pair this with? 😁
  17. My thoughts exactly. In Suffolk too.
  18. Oooof. If you were closer I’d be selling my wife for this 😄
  19. £25 posted to the mainland UK. A great little alternative to the EHX Bassballs. Selling because I’ve switched to a wah pedal as it suits my projects far better.
  20. Pedaltrain Metro 16 with gigbag - £40 posted UK mainland I’ve been holding onto this pedalboard, because as much as I love my bigger board with all its pedal fun I also love the idea of having a smaller board and keep trying to squeeze everything onto this! I can’t, physics makes it impossible sadly. So I really should flog it - here I am doing exactly that. Fully Velcro’d on the top and also a little underneath to fit a power supply should you so desire. I also added some taller feet (simply stuck on) to raise it to fit said PSU. Not much else to say really, price at the top. Cheers! edit to add the photos!
  21. I did a gig just before lockdown and the headline band used a MiBass head. Actually the opening band did too, I was the awkward bugger who changed out to my RM800. Have to say it sounded immense. I’ve even heard this exact rig A/B’d against my Glockenklang and it held its own.
  22. Mike’s been busy making a bass shape from bits of wood. I think the fingerboard is going to be pretty special in an understated but classy way…:
