  1. A lovely looking bass and I can only echo Owen’s sentiments. I hope that your financial situation improves dramatically and rapidly
  2. Fantastic cabs and for me, the HD is Bergantino's finest range, if not its lightest. I use the HD210 and it's very probably my favourite cab (and I've had a lot!)
  3. A very nice looking bass at a very good price - a lovely destination for the proceeds of the sale too
  4. It's this kind of dedication that makes Basschat what it is
  5. Via Canada and all displayed perfectly - thank you
  6. Glorious - I was able to play plenty of these in the early ‘80s and preferred them to the later customs. I still do. The neck profile was sublime (for me). Fabulous artistry and technique from Andy
  7. Same for me
  8. That looks to be in lovely condition - I enjoyed the track too!
  9. Wow, worth it for that beautiful board and tort alone
  10. Wow, gorgeous. Sort of fortunately, I really struggle with the ergonomics of Spector long-scales but the weight of this almost defies belief and a fantastic finish!
  11. Wow, I got up this morning ready to go to the cenotaph and then deal with a lot of hassle that’s arisen in the past few days. I opened this thread and now I’m blushing! Thank you very much all for the incredibly kind comments – the feelings are entirely mutual. I’ve met some of the most lovely, humane, and humble people I know through Basschat. Thank you! Onto the Suhr, i’m absolutely delighted that this has returned to where it belongs! It’s an absolutely gorgeous instrument. It really needed a good set up when I played it, though I was massively impressed by the fit and finish. What a lovely close to a long story!
  12. I haven't played a Serek, though hear only very good things. I have owned a couple of Wilcocks. Both superb basses and Viv Wilcock is building some outstanding instruments. I only sold mine as I prefer active basses (I think this is something that Viv now offers). My personal favourite short-scale is the US Spector Shorty. I think that there were only around 40 built (and I suspect it's a discontinued model), though one with lots of variations in terms of finish and electronics. They appear rarely but well worth a look if you see one. There's the European built Spector Bantam and it's fairly similar to the Shorty - I haven't owned one, but I'd imagine that build quality will be superb. Another favourite is the Alembic small-bodied short-scale (Stanley Clarke and other options) - weird ergonomics and not cheap but, as one would expect, extraordinary instruments. We're fortunate to have some great builders in the UK and beyond taking short-scale very seriously.
  13. For sale, a Hipshot Kickass bridge (4 string) in chrome. This has been hanging around in a drawer with lots of other bridges and bits and bobs. It looks new though I suspect it's been fitted previously (but not by me). It comes with the adjustment key, 5 screws and the replacement/extra saddles shown in the image. It's a standard replacement Fender pattern. The bridges sometimes come with a couple of springs but the latter weren't supplied when I bought the bridge. I should be able to ship for around £3.00 in the UK. Any questions please just ask
  14. Absolute monster in every sense! According to a very reputable uk amp tech, the most over-engineered amp he’d seen. I’ve had three or four of these (you know how it is) and they’re superb - the weight and dimensions defeated me in the end but fantastic amps. A really unusual sonic signature too, something to do with the transformer I’m told - there’s a thread on here somewhere. Paired with a PR40 pre, these amps are remarkable
  15. Lovely basses and one with the pickup logos intact. Is this an 'inside out' BB - I think this is the designation for myrtle facings and walnut core (it's usually the other way around)? These sound outrageous - typical Alembic but with quite an organic twist in my experience.
