For sale (no trades thanks). My brilliant Barefaced Two 10 cab with cloth grille and Barefaced cover. Small, light, and seriously loud. Never been pushed (I doubt the good folk at the Dog & Doris would appreciate me getting anywhere near full beans through this cab!). I've used it with a variety of amps (currently an Ashdown Rootmaster 500), it sounds sweet with all of them and puts out stupid amounts of volume. Barefaced reckon it can replace a 4x10 and you can see why. Can be used portrait or landscape - I've found it excellent vertically on small stages for hearing myself even when standing right next to it - really good off-axis dispersion. Weight 13kg. Dimensions 38cm 61cm 33cm Broadband sensitivity 98dB Power Handling 400W Max Output ~125dB Frequency Range 30Hz - 6kHz Impedance 4 Ohms This is the non-switchable early model and has suffered from the dreaded 'tolex peel' on the back which means that it isn't a looker from the back. I have the Barefaced glue that is included with the sale. I've tried to use it once and it didn't do much to be fair, so I've gone for the old faithful gaffa tape solution. The price reflects the condition of the tolex. The handle is in tip-top condition! All feet present and correct. Collection from Sale, South Manchester, M33. Or I can meet halfway within reasonable distance. If you want it shipped then It's at your own risk and arrangement. I don't have packaging so I'd really rather not. Cheers!

Great musicians but much prefer the original. This feels like they're trying to fill every single micro beat and pause that gave the song its original flow. Also, ducking the mf, if you're going to cover it, cover it!

Took me ages to get us a booking at a great pub in my old home town. That gig should've been tonight. It would have been pre Xmas packed and my folks, uncles, aunts, cousins etc would all have been there too. Balls.

I've had a Maru (passive Jake 5L) and currently have a Sandberg (VM5). Both very, very good basses. For me the Sandberg shades it, possibly because I prefer the P/M pickup config over the P/J of the Maru. The necks were quite similar, quite shallow compared to other fivers I've played and super easy to play. Again, I'd probably say that the Sandberg is a fraction better for me. Of course YMMV.

SOLD - Fender Duff McKagan Deluxe Jazz Bass Special - £850
colleya posted a topic in Basses For Sale
Took this in trade earlier this week, it's everything I'm looking for, but spending time with it has confirmed that I really am a 5 string player. It pushes all my buttons but I keep hitting the wrong strings! P/J config - vintage P pickup, Seymour Duncan J pickup for extra hotness. Pickup toggle switch. Blizzard pearl finish, like a pearlescent aged oly white. Looks amazing. Modern C shape neck. Rosewood neck with pearloid block inlays. '12' inlay at the 12th fret. Hipshot D tuner. Black hardware. TBX tone circuit - acts as a normal control from 0-6 o'clock, then as a bass/treble boost from 6-12. Skull & crossbones neck plate - no garish sig model branding. Made in 2019 and bought in 2020, this bass is only a few months old and has barely left the house due to lockdown. It's in great condition, I've given it a good once over and the only thing I can see is a bit of pick rash on the guard. The finish is pristine. Weight is about 4.1kg using the bathroom scales method. No trades thanks, unless you've got a Barefaced Four 10 plus some cash. Collection from Sale, South Manchester. Postage available in a generic gig bag & box at buyer's cost & risk. -
Needs must, so here's my none more black Stingray 5 stealth for sale. Now £1050 including UK postage. Sounds monstrous, looks awesome. Low action and plays really nicely. I had this strung with DR neons for a while which really popped on stage and proved popular with the punters. Here it is in action at a 'recorded rehearsal' last October. Great condition, a couple of small dings - headstock and back of the body which I've shown in the pics. Currently sporting a rather fetching Manchester bee sticker on the back. I can remove or leave depending on buyer's preference. Weighs 4.65kg but balances very nicely. 34" scale. String spacing is 18mm (I think). Looked that way when I measured it. I can post at buyer's risk in a well used gig bag and bass box. It will be well packaged. Price includes standard UK shipping. Socially distant trial & collection from Sale, South Manchester also available.

Mine arrived the week before lockdown. Still haven't had a chance to try it with the band. Bah!
-
Our rehearsal rooms are open, but only 2 households per room max, so that rules us out.
-
That'll teach me not to scroll! 😉

Outdoor gigs allowed soon. No official date but it looks like the middle of the month. The wording looks like rehearsal rooms will be able to open soon too. BBC News - Coronavirus: Pools, gyms, team sport and outdoor gigs to return https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53355001

Just the one, out of the way on the back.

Our rehearsal studio is still saying max 2 households in a room. 😭

Dave bought some pickups from me. Superb to deal with. Thanks.

Not a lot of overlap, but here's the Jump The Shark set list for our last gig before lockdown. There's the odd non 80s tune in there (every time we drop The Chain someone requests it) but the whole point is an 80s themed set. One Kids In America You Give Love A Bad Name Edge Of Seventeen - Eye Of The Tiger The Chain Roxanne Gold Run To You Papa Don’t Preach Black Velvet Turn Back Time Hammer To Fall Call Me Rio Does Your Mother Know Two Maniac Holding Out For A Hero Hanging On The Telephone (Drop D) Fat Bottomed Girls She Bangs The Drums We Built This City Under Pressure Here I Go Again Video Killed The Radio Star The One And Only Take On Me Hungry Like The Wolf / Danger Zone Cuddly Toy Footloose I Think We’re Alone Now Town Called Malice Dead Ringer For Love Encore The Best Livin’ On A Prayer

It was my mum's. It had been in the house as long as I can remember. When my first child was born she gave it to us with the idea that we could cut the legs down and use it as a feeding/story chair. We got it re-covered at the same time. I've got pics of both my kids from tiny babies on that chair (including possibly my favourite of them both together - see below) and I've spent countless hours sat there with them on my knee reading to them. Basses come & go, but that chair is going nowhere.

Thank you, I can confirm that it can handle some serious bottom end.

As posted on the Sandberg thread but I've waited a few days before posting as a NBD to give me time to have a good fettle and explore with this bass, and I'm delighted with it. Bought on here from WillGatesBass after a few weeks of returning to the for sale boards to perv at it. 6 months old, matt virgin white, sandberg pre and pickups. A shade under 4kg. It's beautifully put together and looks the absolute business. Controls are very sensitive, a little goes a long way. I love the shallow neck and the action is really low, makes it super easy to play. Can't wait until I'm allowed to play out with the band to try it out live. Also a shout out to Eurosender. Insured delivery in about 24 hours for less than £30.
