  1. This is my practise setup at home, it's a Warwick Gnome iPro and Barefaced ONE10 cab. The Gnome chucks out 280W at 4ohm and 180W at 8ohm, so plenty loud enough for smaller gigs and rehearsals if necessary, and it also doubles up as an audio interface if required, it's small enough to take to gigs as a backup, and the cab sounds superb at low volume for practising at home, although the Gnome also has a headphone out for quiet practising. For me, it's just a great setup all round.👍
  2. I certainly wouldn't feel stupid using a pedal because of my age, but I do feel that at 72 my brain don't work too well these days, so fiddling around with settings etc when playing live would be a worry to me. 🙁
  3. Having to memorise all the different settings for all the different songs when I'm gigging just frightens the life out of me. I've always just plugged in and used the controls on my bass, and occasionally on my amp. And yes I know, it's probably just me, but when you get older, the less things to worry about, the better I find. 😉
  4. Lol, four strings is enough for me!🤣 Honestly though, The Ibanez SR range of basses are great, even the entry level ones are well made and play well, I've also owned a SR1200 Premium for a few years and it was superb, but the Prestige models are absolutely top notch instruments.👍
  5. I've just sold an amp to a Harry who is a brand new member, and I must admit that the alarm bells did ring a little because he only became a member minutes before contacting me, but there was no need for me to worry because he drove near fifty miles to try it out, he was extremely polite, and paid by bank transfer before going home with the amp. And although we live fifty miles apart and have never met before, it turned out that I am a friend of his uncle and auntie. It's such a small world.🤔
  6. Yes sorry mate, I realised after I posted that you are in Ireland. Mind you, if was into 5-string basses, I'd be tempted to snap that up even if I didn't need it, lol. 😉
  7. I know you are looking to buy brand new but I've just seen this on eBay: Ibanez Prestige Made in Japan SR5005 5 String Bass Guitar Literally brand new, bought for studio use, replaced strings, set it up, tuned it and then just put away in it's case Not a fingerprint on it. All original paperwork, inspection and serial certificates and Ibanez bass multi tool included. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204676391402?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749374&toolid=20006&_ul=GB&customid=GB_619_204676391402.145620983889~2062689180232-g_CjwKCAjwnv-vBhBdEiwABCYQA8PA5oe9dFjDUmq6C-8YLp0No8bUNPN_umeK86U5oljb-Fz6KJ2szhoCkSgQAvD_BwE
  8. I've owned over thirty basses over the years and I would say that 75% of them were P basses, I've tried and owned many other great basses as well including Warwicks, high-end Ibanez's, Jazz basses, etc.. but I kept going back to P basses and I'm now down to just two Precisions. 👍
  9. For the OP, it was a great bass that not only looks fantastic, but it is one of the easiest playing basses I've ever owned, plenty of variation in tones, and balances superbly.
  10. Mine was second-hand and would have been about 2004/5 if I remember correctly, but I suppose not all wood weighs the same, even the same wood.🤔
  11. I owned the SR5000 for a while and it was as light as a feather, I accept that the five string version is going to be a bit heavier, but I'm surprised that yours was so heavy.
  12. I've just put 0 in the tax rate section, selected UK and re-listed the item. Thanks for your help.
  13. I've just relisted the cab I had up for sale which was originally priced at: £245 + £15 delivery. Now after submitting my tax info it's: £294 Incl. VAT + £18 delivery. I know Reverb was going to take around £26 out of the £245 + £15 (£260 total) leaving me with about £219 after it sold, so what should I now price it at to get around the same amount after selling? The price at the moment of £294 + £18 (£312 total) is too much to ask, so I've ended the listing. Have I still got all this wrong? 🤔
  14. Can someone confirm that I have set up my tax info correctly please? Cheers
