    Awesome! Loved that 😎

    Well this makes bleak reading as my newly acquired twin channel LMK went bang at rehearsal last night. Only the second time I've used it. I'm guessing is quite old as its long discontinued so probably beyond economic repair (if even repairable). Pity, as when it was working it sounded great. I'll try maying inquiries but I'm certainly not going to hold my breath. I've always liked Markbass amps and never had an issue with the many I've owned over the years so I've not had a bad run in all honesty but this will be the last second hand one I'll buy.

    Great price indeed. For once, I wish I lived in London! BTW, Is Knutsford Services on the M6 'reasonable' 😉 😉 GLWTS

    Just bought a Marinas LMK gig bag from Alan. Came in first class condition and very well packed. Great communications and prompt delivery too. Perfect! 👍

    Alex bought my BassBone preamp pedal. A really easy fuss free transaction and a pleasure to deal with. Cheers Alex. 😎

    I have a Markbass combo that I want to use just as a cab as I want to try a different head. The combos speaker connects to the head via a 1/4 jack so I'd need a female connector for that and the means of connecting that to my speakon lead. I found a female 1/4 to speakon lead but it was a little too short. I found the exact solution but it was located in America, can't find anything here yet.

    Now I am confused. I thought that was the male end connector, i.e plugs into the female input on the back of your cab. What I'm after is a connector that a standard speakon cable will plug into with a female 1/4 the other end. Found one. But in the US. 🙄 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271807459737?hash=item3f48fcb199:g:SvEAAOSwG-1WznRm

    It's a Speakon connector I'm after, not XLR but getting close!

    I've looked on eBay and couldn't find anything. I'm after a short female jack input speaker patch lead connected to a female speakon connector the other end. If not, is there anybody out there making custom leads? Ta.

    I've tried the Tone Bone a few times and I've spent a lot of time fiddling with it but just can't seem to get it right. I think it was with the precision that I had issues with no matter what channel I used. I'll dig it out and try again. Ideally I like to just use an amp which has the two channels with their own inputs EQ section, the GR as suggested by @Merton looks very impressive and fits the bill but sadly way out of my price range at the moment.

    My new band has quite a diverse set. Where a Precision bass with flats is ideal for some of the songs it won't be for the remainder, my active Roscoe takes care of the rest. I've tried a twin channel preamp but I've struggled with it and now pretty much forgotten about it. So I'm now considering what the options are for an amp with two separate and identical channels with 2 inputs. The EA Doubler springs to mind but I'm not sure how they are with electric bass as I believe they are made for double??? So, if the Doubler isn't suitable, what other options for a quality head are there? Cheers

    Andy popped over to St Helens and bought my Precision bass. Another great Basschatter to deal with and talk bassy stuff! Enjoy the bass! Many thanks

    For sale is my USA Fender Precision Pro II in Miami blue. Only a couple of faint surface scratches to the body, otherwise immaculate. Comes with Fender hardcase, paperwork and tools. Weight is about 4.2kg I really need to keep my lightweight Roscoe due to my crap back so I withdrew it from sale but that dose mean I have to part with this which is a shame because this is a belter but hey-ho! I've owned a good few US Fenders over the years and this one dose stand out in build quality and finish. I found the neck profile much more pleasing than my other Pbasses, I believe it's based on early 60's dimensions, can't be certain but it really is nice. The reshaped neck joint with the 5 bolts works well should you venture up the dusty end of the fretboard. Its currently strung with newish DR Nickel Lo-Riders 45-105. I would obviously prefer collection or meet/deliver within reasonable distance but I do have a good box and packaging for shipping. I will only use UPS at £35. If you wish to arrange an alternative it's fine by me. No trades please, sale only. The price is firm, and a bit less than I paid for not too long ago.

    I'm honestly astonished regarding the lack of interest in this bass. It sure beats me!
  16. bigthumb
    WOW! That's a stunner 😍

    I looks to me that the nut has been cut badly at the factory as it looks original. I'd be a bit peeved if it were mine.
  18. bigthumb
    It very much looks like it has going by how close that G string is to the edge of the fingerboard. I remember having a Stingray years ago that was the same if not, worse.

    You're bloody right it dose! I have exactly the same bass (bar that cover) on my lap as I'm typing this. The quality of this bass is superb and the most comfortable and fastest neck I've had on any US or MiJ Precision I've owned. I have the action lower than I normally would as it's so easy to play. I don't usually like lower actions as I hate string noise but even with round wounds on, this plays great for me. The build quality and finish is top notch and on the few occasions I venture up the dusty end of the neck the reshaped 5 bolt neck joint make it much easier to access the 19th and 20th frets. These are expensive new but the second hand prices like the one above are well worth the money in my opinion.

    £1300 Collected and would still trade for a US Precision/Jazz or MiM 50's Precision plus cash.

    Will trade for a USA Precision or Jazz + cash to me. Not really interested in any other bass at the moment.

    Thanks for that info. I would have no idea but it sounds promising that it can be fixed. This is the neck in question> It won't go any tighter but it dose loosen with ease so it's not stuck.

    This week I took delivery of a very nice 1982 Squier JV Precision a bass I've always wanted but never managed to get the right one, in excellent and unmodified condition. Anyhow, the truss rod will not tighten any further and there is still a huge amount of relief to the neck and obviously very high action. Needles to say that the bass is going to be returned where the seller is going to try and get sorted. So I'm wondering what can be done to fix it or is the bass (neck) a wright off? 'IF' it could be repaired I would like to have it back as it really is that nice, the neck profile is the nicest I've experienced on a Pbass. I've owned many basses over the years and none that I can recall have had any issues like this so I'm pretty much clueless as to what can be done.

    From L to R - US '95 with a CS 62 Pickup, a very sweet sounding Precision strung with Detroit Flats, my 'Motown' bass. Next is my 2021 USA Precision Pro II in Miami Blue currently strung with rounds (for now) and the lovely LPB with ebony fingerboard as built by Walshy. Three absolutely cracking basses.
