  1. Neck and bridge pup set of these classic tonerider pickups. Price can include UK delivery or knock a £5er off if collecting from Bolton. No screws but can try and knock a set together
  2. Always fancied a go of the 64 having previously has the Super Vintage
  3. This rather tasty looking (if not busy) bass just popped up at Richtone https://richtonemusic.co.uk/sandberg-35th-anniversary-california-british-racing-green-2nd-hand/
  4. Great tone shaping tool with good DI. Solid buillt with a weighty metal body. Has pedalboard velcro on bottom. Could probably post in UK for not many pennies or collection from Bolton welcom
  5. Mk1 version with tatty but fully functional Orange carry case/bag and brand new -20db attenuator in case your desk doesnt have a pad function and you are using the DI. Going ampless by the looks of it so will be surplus to requirements. Collection from Bolton ideally or can meet up. Potentially could post within UK if i can get some packing stuff together
  6. All sorted for gear I'm afraid. If anything I'm trying to thin the herd down
  7. In excellent condition other than velcro on the bottom. Great sounding pedal but no longer needed. I dont think i have the box anymore but will check. Will be securely packaged. Postage shouldnt be more than about £7 in UK or can be collected from Bolton
  8. So to follow up ive started looking at "smaller" Peavey 1x15 BW's Im hoping with wheels on it wont be TTO much for me....Will update in due course
  9. The early Italian Markbass R500s - are they class D or class A/B?  Mixed messages online from they ARE class D, they ARENT class D to early ones weren't but later ones are!?!?!

      I can think of a couple of Markbass models that transitioned from A/B to D Class and the interwebz suggests that happened around 2012, so I wouldn't rule out that if the R500 was in production then it *could* have been included. Again the internet suggests that R500 production ended by 2012, I'd wonder if it remained A/B until being phased out.

      Oh and, if it's an early R500, then yes it will have been A/B. - The manual describes the power section as 'analog' which is typical of describing A/B class and for a 500W amp, it's heavier than it's D Class variants, so, all in all, I think it's probably safe to assume an early model is A/B. Lifting the lid on it will also prove it. 

  10. I wanted to give the Hartke a go through my cab (old barefaced 1x15 compact) but alas didnt have a speakon to jack cable with me. Maybe next time ill give it a go as i really want to see if the head was giving it the beans or the cab
  11. At rehearsal last night i took my usual barefaced/Orange rig and set up as usual. In the corner of the room was the rehearsal spaces house rig. I plugged in directly to see what it was like, straight in without my cali76 and SV bassrig. WOW!!!! It sounded absolutely massive. Tight, deep and that genuine kick to the chest. Absolutely stunning! I assume most of it was the cab (a big 1x18 peavey) which would be completely out the question for me gigging but it just reminded me that with all this lightweight technology we definitely seem to have lost something. And here it is in all jts glory…
  12. If you fancy an experiment I've a couple of sets of used Elites Groundwounds (cut for 4 in a row with generous winds). Happy to post you a set for nowt if you want to give them a bash. Supposedly used by Mani of the Roses. Ive always loved them but moved back to their full flats recently
  13. That fireglo is a stunner. Id love a ric (real or fake) fireglo at some point
  14. Oooh, been wanting to try one of these heads for a while, alas i am fully cabbed up. GLWTS
  15. Morning all. Dont suppose anyone knows the size of screw used by orange for their Bass Terror at all? Its the screws that hole the main cage/lid onto the amp. The OG ones are seemingly made of cheese and strip at the sight of a screw driver. Looking to upgrade them to something a bit stronger
  16. These seem to be getting a bit rarer but despite chasing one of these for years after selling my first i think i need to acknowledge my back needs some lighter weight gear. Here we have a USA made SVT III which preceded the current 3pro's. This one has the much famed SVT IIP preamp couples with a big old led sled solid state power amp. 3 x 12AX7's give it a nice throaty growl but there is no full on valve distortion here just a nice old school type roar. Is missing one slider cap but can still be changed with a plectrum - not that i use the graphic EQ anyway. A few of the pots could do with a blast of deoxit as the amp has been set at my fave EQ and never really changed. I dont have a rack case or anything so ideally its collection from Bolton only but could meet within reason. Possibly consider a part ex for an Ashdown Little Bastard/CTM30 Pics to follow asap
  17. Lovely looking bass that!
  18. Anyone recommended an attenuator for the DI on an Orange Bass Terror?  I believe the one i need is -40db to fix the 'Hot DI' isues?

  19. I bought this as a B-Stock item from Guitar Village as i desperately wanted to have a P bass back in my arsenal. However, with slight arthritis in my hands i really do pick up my jazz bass for anything other than a bit of house noodling and as such i want to cash it in to fund a backup jazz I've seen. These are MIM but to vintage specs including slab rosewood fingerboard, alder body, reverse kluson type tuners and threaded saddle bridge. Even the tort guard has a slight celluloid look to it with indentations where the tugbar is a really nice depth to the tort. I've fitted tonerider pickups as i do to all my basses but the originals come with the bass. Ive also whacked on some GHS Precision Flats for the old-school tone. Pics including the dent near the forearm (reason it was B stock) to follow asap. I have since slightly filled the chip with black nail varnish which makes it much less noticeable. For me, my favourite precision colours are the 50's style burst/gold/maple and then this burst/tort/rosewood - just a classic look. Part ex wise/trade wise id consider something valvey - Ashdown Little Bastard/CTM30 or my ideal amp an EBS T90. Bass wise im pretty sorted but i am partial to MIJ fender basses. Sale muchly preferred. No case for this as i use a dual gig bag for my gigs so it would be collection from Bolton or could potentially arrange meets. Pics to follow asap
  20. For some reason my Gen 1 Barefaced compact doesn't have feet and there are no holes to suggest it ever did. I have thought about adding some as one regular place we play has a laminate floor that doesn't appear to be particularly level and the cab rocks slightly on that surface
  21. To quote one of my favourite movies Snatch - you could land a fackin jumbo jet in that!
  22. lovely looking Jazzer has come up at Richtone:- https://richtonemusic.co.uk/fender-1977-jazz-bass-black-2nd-hand/ Bit on the weighty side mind and not much details about the originality of the guts also the pic of the E side neck pocket seems to show a huge gap?
  23. Bought a B stock Vintera II P bass recently in a lovely burst/tort/slab rosewood but after being a Jazz bass player for so long I'm really struggling with the neck. Maybe time to sell and go for a Hama Okomoto P Bass!

  24. So ive had a Ric itch for quite a while now and been looking at this particular one for some time:- https://richtonemusic.co.uk/rickenbacker-4001-1978-autumn-glo-hard-case-2nd-hand/ It seems to have sold once and been returned a few months back (ive watched it for a while). Obviously i have concerns it has been returned although it may just have not suited the buyer. From what i can see there is a reasonable tail lift that i would absolutely want more pictures of before travelling to Sheffield to see it fully. Love the colour and the 'mojo' but is there anything else obvious from the photos that i should ask for more in depth pics of before travelling to actually try the bass. This will be (potentially) my first ric being mainly a J and P player so me knowledge here is very limited. Cheers in advance..
  25. Are we allowed to discuss rickenbackers on this forum now?  Ive seen a used vintage one but have a few concerns id like to run by someone more experienced than me
