    That looks like a great option! Many thanks for the suggestion

    Did you miss the part where I said I was physically there? My bad, I got my year wrong, it was 2008.

    Last time it was anywhere near $2.00 was over 33 years ago (just prior to the Black Wednesday Sterling crisis and the UK leaving the ERM). In truth, back then (globally) there was probably little caché in 60s-80s kit, it wasn't vintage or particularly desired, it was just old/used.

    There's some gear owned by the late John Giblin (who I'm not familiar with) for sale at the Bass Gallery. Included is a Lakland Skyline 55-02 for £3k and a 5 string Mexican jazz bass for almost £2k. Like the OP I may be missing something there.

    I have one of these mini heads as my backup and practice amp. Great wee unit, super portable, it's no bother to take it to the gig for if the worst happens to my main rig. Headphones out, aux in, built in tuner and effects make it great as a standalone practice unit. Very happy to have one in my arsenal.

    It was about that in 1990/1 as well. I came back with a new wardrobe of jeans and trainers.

    So $800 is (at the exact moment) £597.82. Shipping from the USA would be in the region of $100, so that's another £74.73. But might be as much as $200 (£149.49) Using the lower sum that's £672.55 that is subject to vat at 20% being £134.51 = £807.06. Then there's 3.5% duty on the guitar bit as well - another £20.92 Running total is £827.98 + about £13 for the courier admin fee. So £840.98 delivered to a UK buyer assuming the lower end shipping fee. So there could be a saving of about £77.45 compared to Andertons if it sneaks though without getting pinged by customs, and about £100 more than Andertons if it gets caught. I've had small stuff get through, but never anything as big as an instrument. I'm not sure whether Fender UK would deal with any warranty problems for a personal import or not. I'm guessing not.

    You’d think for an instrument that they want that much for that there was a better marketplace than eBay. If it’s really worth that sort of money, which I doubt, then it’s a museum piece, somewhere like the Rock n Roll hall of fame or Hard Rock Cafe.

    Not sure what the available power from the TRex is but could you just add a Gigrig supa-nova to convert a 9v supply to 12v?

    Pfft, the golden age was when it was £1 == $2. I visited the US then (2009?) and chuckled heartily about getting on a bus for 50p ($1).

    New plate, screws, pots, jack 'n pup, lift the bridge and slide out the earth wire then no solder has been touched and completely reversable Enjoy!

    This is all immaculate, not a single mark or knock anywhere. Gigged a couple of weddings and has otherwise sat largely unused and barely left the house. It’s a really nice setup, and a tall, hugely loud 800 watt 4x10 in a lightweight package. I would split, with the combo at £650 and cab at £250. Combo comes with foot switch for drive channel and Roqsolid padded cover and cab with Fender dust cover. Trade wise, would be interested in a 5 string P bass.

  28. Clarky started following Compact 9V and 12V power supply recommendation please
  29. Clarky
    Hi I have the small TRex Fuel Tank power supply on my compact pedal board (Pedaltrain Metro, I think). Until now it's been great as each of my pedals (tuner, fuzz, chorus, Sansamp) run off 9V. However, I have just bought a tube preamp DI which will replace the Sansamp and needs 12V/500mA. So my question is: what would you recommend as a compact and/or low profile, reliable power supply for (say) up to 5 9V pedals and one 12V high draw pedal? Preferably not too spendy! Thank you in advance

    I love the black pickguard, really adds to the 1970s vibe. You do you, though! I would recommend screwing the original pickguard to a wooden board to prevent it from shrinking or warping. That way you'll keep it nice and tidy, and you can always put it back on. I thought only old celluloid pickguards were prone to this, but I learned the hard way that even a modern Stingray 5 pickguard will warp and bubble up over time when the tension is off Edit: ...and then I read the post before mine and saw that you're leaving it as is. I hadn't bothered reading page 2 yet. Oh well!

    TRADES: Only really interested in 5 string P basses. Made in Japan Yamaha BBP35 with Yamaha hard case. The bass sounds excellent, plays wonderfully and is in good condition. Yamaha say: Made in Japan, this is the ultimate BB, featuring an Alder/Maple/Alder construction treated with Yamaha’s unique IRA technology, a six-bolt miter neck joint, and a diagonally strung convertible bridge. I’d say it is in “good player’s condition”. It came from Bass Bros as it is today, described and sold as “immaculate”. Which it isn’t, if you’re a collector. The pick guard and pickup covers have dulled from play and there is a mark behind the bridge where the previous owner had let the B string rub the finish when changing strings. At least, that seems mostly likely cause to me. the neck and headstock ARE immaculate. There are no dings, chips, dents of any kind. It’s just a really lovely bass, they’re my favourite and this one feels and sounds (somewhat) like a vintage instrument. It does everything well in its own BB-esque way. Weighs in at a shade under 8.9lbs, which is pretty light for a BB!
