    +1. Yep, not punk. Were around at the time of, but not part of.

    My lightest bass at the moment is this Fender 'Dusty Hill' Custom Shop Gold Top at 7.98 lbs. A beautiful slab body P with a lovely J neck. Fender Custom Shop at it's best right there. My heaviest, by some margin actually, is this Alembic Spyder at 12.4 lbs. I don't take this one out as the bass in its case is not only huge, but the whole things weighs well over twice what the bass alone weighs. If there was a sufficiently safe alternative to transporting this around, I might be tempted to rehearse with it occasionally since my rock covers band now has a Who track in the set 😂. A normal bass case on top of the Spyder case which I think must be lined with lead or similar. Below that weight, I have a couple of NAMM Stingrays that are both 10.5 lbs give or take a couple of ounces The rest of my basses are in what I would class as the generally acceptable 8/9 lb weight bracket. For me balance is more important than weight as I count myself fortunate in not having any issues with my back.

    Yes, I can't quite get my head around that. Doesn't seem possible, but I believe you 🤷‍♂️

    Ah, my favourite Rollins album…. ….I’ll get my coat 🤪
  5. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    A sheep in wolfs clothing if ever there was….but at £118, I can see the attraction. I wouldn’t buy one myself, but that’s me.

    Ah, yes - that was an error. Well pointed out Brian. Thank you. Should be £500 plus shipping. All finger and thumbs today!

    PLEASE NOTE - PRICING ERROR IN ORIGINAL LISTING. TYPO SHOWS £400 - SHOULD £500 - HAVE ASKED MODS TO FIX - APOLOGIES The irrational (b)itch that is GAS has convinced me that I need to own one of the new Mk2 Bergantino B|Amp's. To that end, I'm putting up for sale this perfectly brilliant amp to cover part of the guilt associated with the £1500 outlay this little endeavour will cost me. These Handbox amps are just fabulous as I'm sure some here will attest to. I've not have this long and it's in great condition. It weighs in at 21 lbs (9.5kg) and is 15" wide x 13" deep x 5" high (11.5" deep with the front cover removed). I was going to waffle on about the spec, but I don't need to as our very own @wateroftyne has kindly done it for me in this video. UK sale only. No trades for the reasons stated above. You're welcome to visit and try if you're close enough, or I will travel to meet to hand over where possible. I can also ship at your cost. Not sure how much that would be, but I can get quotes if you're interested.

    1. All of the people in all of my bands have been double jabbed. 2. No, although the singer from the gig I've just got in from did a few LFT's this week as he was feeling a bit rough (all negative). I think he'd just overdone it with work/gigs/rehearsals. 3. None really necessary so far as they have all been outside. I have another one on Wednesday though, which I suspect might be indoors. It's a dep spot, so I need to ask what the deal is.
  9. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    There is your answer. If you're buying a Sandberg and changing the strings by that small amount, I really wouldn't worry. No harm asking them I suppose if they are building it for you.
  10. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    As has been mentioned before, unless you need the money, I would keep them. As for the space, if you don't have room for four basses in their cases, who are you? Harry Potter living in a cupboard under the stairs?
  11. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I have occasional GAS for a Moog, which I would probably only ever use in my 80's band. The keys player brings 5 keyboards to the show and he knows how to use them, so my GAS seems pointless 🤷‍♂️ Photo from his first gig with us last night.

    I always used the G-LAB Wowee-Wah Bass Wah for Let's Groove when we did play it in my old function band. I do use it a lot in other songs now though, including the intro to Video Killed The Radio Star.
  13. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Yep, and if they did it with an SLO neck I'd be several thousand poorer by now as well. The natural shorty looks a bit Joe Dart and I don't like the burst. The black is OK, but again, not with a 43mm nut, so that's me out 😬.
  14. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Just noticed the icons in the sales thread. Like them 👍
  15. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I've Dark Themed myself. Looks great 👍
  16. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I see what you did there. Very good 👏👏
  17. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I like a relic, but that is truly dreadful.
  18. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I think docking marks for playing position is extremely harsh. The Peter Hook BB’s are pretty much sold out everywhere. I guess he could have ordered one when they were announced, but they’re not readily available now.

    It's the music all the way as far as I'm concerned, but I'll add that to be a successful tribute, I think you need to put a bit of effort in regarding the look as well. There are tributes that overload on the image to mask their deficiencies in their playing capabilities. I won't name names, but for some reason most audiences seem oblivious. It's a constant frustration of mine as I'm in three different tributes myself. To answer the original question, it's the bands that nail both that really fly
  20. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I can’t make my mind up whether the headstock shape or the body shape is worse. They’re both awful, but they don’t look like they belong together either.
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Ha ha. Who knows? He might have just put the final coat on for all I know 🤷‍♂️
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Sadly not. I know he has been very busy of late and I don’t want to hassle him. I’ll post it here as soon as I hear anything.
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Great job @ped and team 👏👏👏👏
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Welcome @Inara . Great name whether it’s your real one or username. I’m a big Firefly fan 😀
