    BUMP! As this doesn't want to go anywhere I may be tempted to part with my Sandberg PM4!

    Lovely bass and a great price if you ask me. Its just a bit tough moving gear at the moment.

    And there was me thinking it was the 4x10 when I had a play through it. Free BUMP for a first rate cab! [size=1]And a second rate picture[/size]

    £625 posted kind of BUMP? If there's no takers at this price I'll hang on to it.

    I've waffled on about how much I like my iAmp800 over on finnbass probably a bit too much so I wont start here! I've used the amp with just one 4ohm EBS cab before and its been plenty loud enough and I've been more than happy with the results. I've played an outdoor gig with both cabs 'at volume' and the sound was massive. Again very very impressed. I think your iAmp puts 350w in to 8 Ohms Peter so I'm quite surprised that you're struggling with it. Your band isn't particularly loud by any means and when I watched you a couple of weeks ago the bass was cutting through nicely with the one cab, no drama at all!

    And let the BUMPing begin! :brow:

    After a couple of weeks of deciding which bass to part with I've come to a decision. I acquired a Sandberg PM in a trade for a cab which I have come to like, a lot! I couldn't really afford to keep both basses so sadly I have to say good bye to the Duck Dunn. I got this during the summer from Absolute Music Solutions. I guess its a few years old although its practically unmarked. I'm lead to believe the it has a Lindy Fralin pickup which to me sounds quite 'aggressive', nothing like my old Precision. It has the usual Lakland build quality and the finish is gorgeous. It has a hard case so posting wont be a problem. If you need any questions answering or further pictures just pop me a PM. I managed to haggle the shop down to £840 plus postage. I'm happy to let it go for £650 posted. Cheers, Paul

    Good stuff Tony! Your old Proline has a new partner now. I've only used the rig once or twice as the bands going through a gig drought at the moment but blimey it sounded phenomenal!

    You have far too many nice basses Bob. Love the green Sandberg!

    Fantastic weekend! It was really great to meet up with you guys. There were far too many cracking basses for me to pick a favourite. Loved Joe's Sadowsky, Bob's Pedulla and ACG, Peters Spector amongst many others. Thanks to Alan and Peter for a fab weekend and the guys for bringing such great gear along! Cheers, paul

Grrrrr[/quote] Ouch! I only have to drive for about 10 minuets for my time to be wasted though TBH I have sod all better to do!

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='640548' date='Oct 29 2009, 10:17 PM']Turned up to practice tonight after a one month hiatus due to the drummer "doing other things". Didn't get very far - drummer who clearly didn't want to be there then finds he has "lost" some of his stands and won't / can't play. Meanwhile, I finally learn a song that the guitarist has been hassling me to learn for months and he says "oh, that's good, but I don't actually know it myself". We have no gigs lined up until next year and nobody seems to care enough to go and find any. Sigh! Anybody need a second rate bass player [/quote] I seem to be in the same boat with my lot. Anybody need a third rate bass player?

    I've heard not too good things said about new Ampeg combos (although I've never used one). First thoughts would be a Trace Elliot 15" combo. The 300w ones are pretty powerful and quite versatile tone wise. Not sure if it dose the Ampeg thing but I bet it wont be too far off and you can get them pretty cheep!

    I'm the proud new owner of Tombboys blackburst California PM. I forgot just how good these basses are!

    BUMPTIOUS BUMPUS!

    Well I'm a little bias towards them as I've spent years owning various other basses and now I believe Precisions are for me. I must be very lucky as I dont think I've ever owned one of the 'bad' ones! My current '73 is my 5th seventies Precision. I've also owned newer American ones (but alas not the latest) and various Japanese types. The US current reissues I believe are great, 'GreenKing' will tell you! But for almost the same money there are some peaches of early '70s ones out there and I didnt pay ridiculous money for mine (and its as light as a feather) !
  23. bigthumb
    Can anyone lend me £625? Pleeeease!
  24. bigthumb
    My God! You'll really regret selling the old Precision, dont do it!! Sell the wife?
