Bought a Kiog0n P loom off Westenra, smooth transaction & received all inside 48 hours! Top guy, recommended

Mind blowing collection there!

Anyone else show their other half & say "next time you say I've got too many basses..."?

What the hell did I just see??

That might have ruined Roundabout forever :/

Hello!

Now sold subject to the usual

Did Fender do a P bass with blocks and binding in the 70s?

I think I've read that there were a couple of block Ps made in the 70s but I might be wrong. Who cares, looks sweet no?

Trades ?
[/quote]

Hmmm possible trades for Fender things with 5 strings. Sorted for amps & what not

It is indeed a fing of beauty!

Cheers Marc

These basses need no introduction as their quality is well documented. Absolutely superb fit & finish & quite simply one of the best P basses out there, plays & sounds like a dream.

This is an authentic Japanese model from 2011 before production switched to Mexico. Totally stock & in as-new condition apart from one tiny ding on the underside below the tone control as shown in the pics. Zero buckle rash & nominal pickguard scratching due to only ever being used for recording a handful of times in my smoke-free studio. This really is a pristine specimen of a well regarded, discontinued bass.

Strung with D'addario EXL nickels. Includes the original thumbrest that shipped with it (never installed) & Fender gig bag.

Would prefer collection from Cardiff or nearby but will ship within UK in gigbag & Fender box at buyer's expense & arrangement.

It gets it up close to ear level and even at low volumes it seems to fill the space nicely.
I have mine like that at the practice space and whenever we get a gig with a decent size stage or outdoors I'll take it along.

Agh please don't fuel the gas any more, I'm still trying to justify this purchase to the missus!

Great!
For even more goodness stick the 210 extension cab under it

Hmmm, I don't need it but will probably get one to try it at some point

So I got to use my 500 in anger for the first time on the weekend at a wedding gig. Wow. Everything I couldn't hear at modest volumes came alive when it was cranked. Just an incredibly powerful, ballsy sound with spades of definition, headroom (for me with FoH support) & yes, heft, in comparison with my Genz rig at least. With the bass at 9pm to tame the boom & treble just to the right my Jazz sounded fantastic all night. Didn't play with the voicings on the amp but used the bass's passive tone control & plucking positions for different sounds & everything sounded authentic. I was surprised at just how 'modern' this box can sound if that's your thing...when I set up & switched on I my bass was in active mode, so razor-sharp was the tone, real bitey hi-fi stuff. Turns out I was in passive mode & it was just the horn engaged on the amp. Something for everyone here.

The fact that it practically floated out of the car & back in at load was the cherry on the cake

So I've now fallen in love with this powerful little combo & wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who's looking for something light, loud & capable of great tones with minimal faffing with controls.

sometimes you want a proper bass tone and not something that sounds like popcorn being made in a massive metal drum.

Totally with you on Primus & this line cracked me up, spot on! XD

I love the Dan so totally disagree there, but that's ok. It's all subjective in the end eh.

Anagram of my surname & been my web alter ego for years for spam avoidance reasons. Oh & to stop special branch tracking me down...

Since they're absent after 4 pages is it safe to assume Kiss are a "given"?
[/quote]

Not in this house!

Chic for me. I love Nard's lines & tone but their songs as a whole go nowhere after a couple of reps & their lyrics were abominable. I realise I'm probably in a minority of one here & me tin hat's firmly on.

They were all out of beef & tomato pot noodles last time I went the bastards, & I went home with a divorce's worth of gear I secretly really needed :/

Vid with the 500 combo on it's own from a party I had at my place this summer, recorded on a gopro.

Nice fat edgy P tone there, sounds killer! Great version too.

I've played with the EQ a bit since & cutting the bass to 9 o'clock & taking a smidgen off the lows helps to remove the boom. I'll see how this translates in a live situation when I rock it next week with the functions band & report back.

I really want to like this amp - it's light, it's easily loud enough for monitoring (always PA support for us) and I want to move away from separates for a bit to make load in/load out & set up a doddle. Plus it's Fender & I like Fender things

Just got one of these. Really portable & really loud but inherently boomy as hell I'm finding. I'm not the only one as well, this opinion pops up a fair bit. Definitely not replacing my Genz gear, yet at least.

Pulled the trigger on one of these recently. Hisses like sh1t & feels flimsy as hell. Used it twice in a month :/ Wouldn't replace if/when it breaks.

+1 for Ampband. Used em for years now.

Using this, much appreciated!

Pleasure. GLWTS!
