    Just seen that one on AB's site. Very nice but that 59 is beautiful! I have a thing for slightly beat up burst/gold/maple P basses. ill have to make do with my 85 MIJ reissue

    Only cut the E string for my p bass, rest of strings are uncut but have been fitted on my MIJ P for a few hours. Silks in great condition and these have the newly introduced coloured ball ends. Decided i prefer my elites. £25 posted to your UK door

    Ive drooled over this one at Bass Gallery for days and days. Seems reasonably priced but I'm not enough of an expert to know what a re-fret and new nut does to value https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/fender-precision-1963

    Following my above post i can now fully recommend Mike Powell (MPAV Services) of Bolton - www.mpavservice.co.uk. Mainly a hifi type repair man but he does take on guitar amps (when i dropped my amp off he had a few Trace combos in his workshop). Completed my repair - new volume pot and 4 new output jacks - on my bassman in 2 days at a very reasonable cost and to a great standard. Definitely recommend for any fellow North West BCers

    Their usual bass player, a Spector toting guy called Leigh Foxx, had a bad injury involving his back a while ago and has been out for a while. His sound was massive with a spector through an SVT rig. I believe Glen Matlock still uses an old Fender bassman 100 from his old Pistol days!

    Numerous straps for all tastes. Prices all include UK P&P 1) Levys MSS90 in Black - Nice wide strap which is great for long gigs and heavy basses. £45 delivered, will need to find the extension piece but i have plenty....somewhere. 2) No name brown leather/buckle strap - £15 3) Levis MSS80 in a lovely vintage deep red/brown. Very comfortable strap - £25 4) Classic Fender ala John Deacon - £15 5) Bear Straps in a deep red. This does have a few marks including what looks like a slight sweat/dye run around the shoulder. £20 At some point all will have had Loxx strap locks fitted but still all the ends are in good condition. Pics to follow asap

    Something slightly different but still precision - my MIM Cabronita that has been modded. I once played a highly ltd edition Borrocha bass that comes from the cabronita line and it was sublime. These ‘standard’ ones share the same outstanding neck so I replaced the pup with the TV Jones Supertron like the borracha and swapped the bridge to a BBOT. Strung with fender flats it is pure thunder and growl 😍

    Heavy duty rack case used to ship my latest acquisition in. The internal brackets need refixing to the case. Absolutely no use for it and its taking up space. Free to good home. Collection only from Bolton pls

    Heading to Sheffield this weekend so something could be done around that delivery wise if any interest

    The 'Valve' knob is actually counter intuitive. In its most anti clockwise position its starves the plate and makes it sound more 'loose/slow' and valve like. Fully clockwise it actually tightens things up. For cleaner i would definately max the master and use gain to set 'volume'. The dirt/grit comes mainly from the pre
  12. Pow_22
    As mentioned, engage the EQ even if its left flat but raise the far right hand slider. Theres hidden volume in there

    Any amp tech recommendations for North West/Manchester? Usually use Roland Lumby but he only takes on valve work now. Dave Lunt seems to have retired from what i gather Its a hybrid Fender Bassman that needs a new volume pot as it has sheared off. Looks like the post go straight into the board so could be a big job

    Fender Bassman 1200 incoming.  Will need a tech visit tho, at the very least it needs a new volume pot

      Have a great NBD. Fingers crossed that the tech work is as simple as a new pot.

    So with gigs back up and running ive plumped on a larger bassman head and as such ill have to let this box of absolute magic go. The tone on these things is phenomenal and kept up at rehearsal in my 60’s american rock band superbly through an ampeg 2x12 - these really are quite loud for their rating. I revalved this around december with some NOS russian EL84’s and it hasnt skipped a beat since. Comes with a hotcovers fitted padded cover. Cant really post this with it being a valve amp, collection would be from Bolton or could potentially arrange a meet up. Excellent cosmetic and working condition

    Might be needing a gigging head again soon and the Laney Digbeth 500 is tickling my pickle

      If you're happy with that I'd advise you to stop looking before the whole jar is tickled pink...far too much nice gear available - so hard to choose!

      Ah, it might be tickling your pickle but is it floating your boat and toasting your crumpet?

    The Elites half/ground wounds are really good in my opinion. Had them on a MIJ Jazz and sounded great
  18. Pow_22
    With it being a CC there probably wont be any service history or knowledge of valve age. Plus as mentioned, it comes with an 8ohm cab which isnt compatible - it may suggest the head has been used long term with the cab which itself could've caused issues. Assuming everything was a-ok i would probably offer £1k, flip the cab and spend the cab money of a service with a competent tech. As @Beedster mentions also though, heavy iron just doesnt seem to shift nowadays

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325672466216?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=5FL9HKvQQzW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=oN5XbKSRQjS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY being sold with non compatible 8ohm cab so may well have been used and abused with it. Never see anything cool like this in my local CC 😫

    Cash Converters in Dartford with a ltd edition Skunkworks SVT! Never seen those sorts of things in my local crack converters!

      Can’t see it on their site unless it’s gone

    Do they ever actually sell anything at those prices? I know they have the shell/corpse of what was previously a Ric 4005 thats been for sale forever and a completely stupid price!
  22. Pow_22
    It was from Legends over at Bass Bros. Ive tried TI’s - too floppy for me. Ive ordered some la bella 760FL’s so hopefully have them in soon. More pics to follow

    Just doing a spot of maintenance on my Jap Fender 57ri. Turns out it was born 16th Dec 1985. Lovely bass just pondering which flats to go with
  24. Pow_22
    Ampeg SVT II Non Pro - just to heavy and 'fancy' for the small pub gigs/shared backline gigs we did Ashdown Spyder (both 330 and 550) - superb 'plug in and play' amps Mesa BB750 - closest sound ive got to 'all valve' without actually being 'all valve' I currently get away with an Ashdown LB30 for my needs but should the bigger gigs come back then a Spyder or Mesa Walkabout will be on the shopping list
  25. Pow_22

    Anyone here grab the vintage SVT that went on ebay for £850?  Was tempted and fairly local alas house move at the moment is eating all my fun funds
