  1. I know - they are great amps for upright, but the technology is of the age so a tad lardy and not over endowed with power.
  2. Thanks for the offer, not ready to go quite that low - while I don't use it, I seem to keep coming back to these... I may see if I can find a local amp tech to take a look at it.
  3. I don't know how I got earlier response so wrong it IS available!
  4. I'll always listen. Worst I can do is decline 🙂
  5. This is my Bassman 135. I have had this about seven years and popped new tubes in when I got it, and it hasn't been used much since. The condition is generally reasonable for an amp of this age. Channel 2 seems fine, but channel 1 doesn't seem to be quite as expected - tones down and some audio is still through and it doesn't have the weight I would expect. I'm not a tube tech, but with the simplicity of these amps, I'd expect it to not be too major a repair. You can see a video at https://cattytown.co.uk/BassmanDemo.mp4 - just done with a camera, no special mic. It's a heavy, fragile beast so I am not going to entertain posting, but I can arrange a reasonable meet, but you may prefer to come here to give it a try for yourself.
  6. They are - It is just lovely, but it's not really "me". I really wish it was.
  7. In response to a query - the weight is 4.255 Kg/9.38lb Paul.
  8. Selling this reluctantly as this gets very little use. Owned from new, bought from GBBL when it was in Drew's care. A beautiful, nice playing lovely sounding bass, I have just come to the conclusion it's not really me. Includes Sandberg gig bag. I change the strap buttons for straplocks, and I'll include the strap that's with it. Any questions, please ask. For now, I don't want to post such a lovely (and valuable) bass, but as log as you are not too far away I am sure we can arrange something.
  9. Looking at posts on facebook, it looks to be about Wednesday when they started including guitar.
  10. Looks like the change is in the process of happening - some stuff is bass guitar, some is bass and guitar. Twitter is an ambiguous handle of @Bass_GuitarShow, but the logo is still a fender style bass headstock. Twitter description: "The UK Bass Guitar Show is a 2 day event, dedicated to all things low-end. The show features the latest bass gear, along with a variety of respected artists." I will probably still go, but not looking forwards to it as much 😞
  11. The first time I tried them, they were awful, and I lasted less than a week. A few years of struggling later, and an important change in the fashion for glasses, step up of the level I bought and they are awesome. I would need to carry 2-3 pairs of glasses without them, be constantly swapping between them, and struggling in sunshine. My prescription is strong - about +5.5, then reading is plus 1.5. I now go for the REALLY good lenses (high refractive index so thin and light) and photochromic so a pair of glasses is north of £700. It's worth it as the first thing I do in the morning is reach for my glasses, and the last thing at night is take them off. I really am useless without them. The big thing is getting used to looking through the right bit, which does mean moving your head more. The bit about fashion? when I first tried them lenses were quite small. Now lenses are a lot bigger which gives more space for the zones.
