  1. It looks nice but seems rather expensive,I paid £900 for my SR1605 & it's a cracking bass for the money. that Ltd model looks far to expensive to me,you could but something very nice indeed for similar money,but if you really like it why not.
  2. Lovely bass,I was in there a few days ago but didn't try the Dingwall basses out as I had already fallen for a Roscoe which I just had to bring home. it's a great shop full of amazing instruments.
  3. Yuk ! That's bloody ugly

  6. price is £80.00 delivered please ignore the £20.00 price as i don't seem to be able to alter that These pickups are encased in wood & give a very nice sound indeed + the give a very strong signal too. I have used many different pickups over the last 3 years & these are the best sounding ones i have come across so far. I am only selling them as my Blast Cult Channel Blaster preamp/mixer pedal went tits up & Jason at Blast Cult very kindly supplied me with the very latest Channel Blaster 2 system as a replacement,this uses different pickups making these jobbies surplus to my requirements. They are wired into a single stereo jack socket so they will come supplied with the below cable,the mounting bracket for the jack socket & the bridge tension adjuster assy' (this alters the tone depending on how tight it is screwed in - tighter = punchier tone & also helps to kill feedback at high volume) The cable - OBBM made this for me a couple of months ago,unfortunately my 2 channel preamp/mixer went tits up before i ever had chance to use this & my new replacement system doesn't need a TRS. cable has 1 x 90 degree jack & 1 x straight jack. the usual top quality cable made by OBBM. The only other thing you need is a 2 channel preamp to mix the 2 pickup signals to your taste,or just any old preamp if you're not using the clicky. price is £80.00 posted to U.K.
  7. a very nice neo 212 cab in mint as new condition with absolutely no damage or scuffs sounds awesome,the only cab you'll ever need comes with a very well fitting Roqsolid cover (black with blue edging) i gave Roqsolid the correct measurements for this as their first attempt was too long & dragged on the floor,this one fits correctly. just a little note,this cab was built in Scottsdale Arizona,its not a Mexican built item,don't suppose it matters but just thought i'd mention it. i have had the cab less than a year & it has been superb,i can't fault it one bit. however i have a long term knee injury which isn't likely to get any better & i find the cab a little awkward to carry around by myself,so i have ordered a lighter weight Barefaced cab to replace this,otherwise i would be keeping it.(not that this is heavy by any means) full specs on the cab can be found here [url="http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2909&sid=725&cid=96"]http://www.genzbenz....&sid=725&cid=96[/url] collection from Harrogate only please as this is far too big to post cheers
  8. I think they will be fine for a good old school jazz sound,I'm no jazz player but mine has a wonderful rich pizz tone,very old school bass,lovely.
  9. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1419165795' post='2637104'] Looks great. Is it 33" scale? [/quote] Cheers. No it's a 35" scale whereas the Ibanez next to it is 34". Switching between the two is not problem at all,mind I'm used to a 42" on my DB so they both feel small by comparison.
  10. thanks guys,Bass Direct is certainly a very dangerous place for us GASing bass players to visit used the Roscoe at last night gig,it was awesome with an immense B string,love it,love it,love it. i can recommend trying out a Roscoe bass,just be prepared to part with some serious dosh though
  11. Lovely,just get one of each
  12. Thanks guys It's bloody lovely
  13. well i nipped down to Bass Direct this morning with the intention of buying a lovely Spector Euro LX5 in a lovely plumb gloss colour. the Spector was very nice & i was going to buy it until i was passed a rather nice Roscoe Century 5 oh bugger it was love at first play,it is an amazing bass,i have never played a bass anything like this before,suddenly the Spector wasn't as nice as it first seemed. the Roscoe is beautifully made,plays like a dream & the sound,OMG the sound it blew my mind,absolute perfection i bloody well love it. i had no intention of even looking at the Roscoe basses but hey i now own one,it cost me slightly more money than i planned to spend but frankly i don't care,it was well worth every penny so own such a beautiful instrument. top class service at Bass Direct,well worth the 300 mile round trip (yes i am knackered after setting off at 5:25 am) i can't stop playing it & don't really need to sleep,do i ? ok here's a couple of crappy mobile phone pic's,i will put some better ones up when i can bring my self to put it down long enough to dig my camera out.

  14. Well I have to say the woodwork on my SR1605 is absolutely perfect
  15. Get yourself an Ibanez premium bass Tom,my SR1605 is flawless & plays beautifully.
