    Yup, £650 is way too much. I have a mid-60's Senator, without the staple pickups. Took it to Denmark Street about 8 years ago to sell for a friend, barely got offered £250 for it. And that's without a broken neck. Like Happy Jack said - they're a great recording bass and for noodling around the house, but live they are very limited. (But very cool if you compress the life out of it;) )

    Looks great - the shape of the horns really brings out the grain. Job well done.

    Yes Yes Yes - where have you been all my life? And will you marry me? Ok, the last two were in jest. But seriously folks -yes, I'd be interested in this. Do you have a list of Mr.Fitzmaurice's designs for our perusal?

    Traded a TC Electronic Classic 450 for Cai's Markbass F1. Everything was effortless and cool. Cai even called me from the post office to confirm shipping costs then texted when the amp was on it's way. Buy/Trade/See with confidence.

    My bad - forgot to change this to SOLD. Folks - up for sale is my ACG EQ02 onboard preamp. These are great preamps for radically changing the tone of your bass. The filters are capable of everything from sub-blowing dub to Marcus Miller crispness. This version, mounted on the control plate is no longer available (on the plate, that is). New they were £160 posted. This one is only a few months old, so selling for [s]£110[/s] [b]£100[/b] posted next day special delivery. Only changing because I feel the call of passive nature. Also up for trades. Here's some info from ACG: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/index.php"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/index.php[/url] A review from Bass Guitar Magazine: [url="http://www.scribd.com/word/full?id=11108419&access_key=key-hub5n3vobrwuhs6oqqs"]http://www.scribd.com/word/full?id=1110841...n3vobrwuhs6oqqs[/url] And some soundclips: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/docs/news/72.mp3"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/docs/news/72.mp3[/url] And a stock picture: [attachment=82145:preamp01.jpg]

    [quote name='Jabba_the_gut' post='1260163' date='Jun 7 2011, 07:47 PM']I quite agree! Please could you let me know where you got them from?[/quote] Hey Jabba - got the pots from Maplins. Think they were about a quid each. A little bit too tight fitting - but that's not really a problem.

    Hey Folks - Up for sale is my Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 amp head. Amp is about 7 months old and never used in anger. Note - I'm also selling this head as part of a combo here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138944"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138944[/url]. I'm selling the head separately as there's been a few enquiries to selling the combo cab on it's own. New these sell for £449 so seeing as this is part of a combo, I'm selling this for [s]£290[/s] [b]£270[/b] shipped. Also up for trades - of the small amp variety. Or surprise me PS - the photo shows the amp with new control knobs. I got these as my eyesight sucks. The original ones are included also. [attachment=81973:Close_Controls.jpg]

    Thanks for that Jon - look forward to getting stuck in. My folks were at the Isle Of Wight. Was a very cool thing to grow up hearing stories about it.

    Good reminder for these Bilbo - AJ knows no boundaries. It's always refreshing to hear how relentless and inventive he is.

    [quote name='Fitz666' post='1255492' date='Jun 3 2011, 02:45 PM']That same Anthrax tour was my fist ever gig, with Living Colour supporting them.....ah the memories[/quote] I can't remember who supported them here - might have been somebody local. It might also have been Prong, but that could also have been at the Faith No `more gig on their 'The Real Thing' tour a few weeks later. Jeez my memory sucks.
  19. Gareth Hughes
    I'd like to buy the '4:33' version of this
  20. Gareth Hughes
    Damn - I'd love to see this. My first gig was seeing Anthrax on the 'State Of Euphoria' tour when I was 12. Sooooooooooo goooooooood. Also saw Megadeth a few years later on the 'Rust In Peace' tour with a then little known Alice In Chains in support. ...............................Memmmmmmmmmorrrrrrieeeeeeessss......................

    [quote name='ConnorHamilton' post='1253661' date='Jun 2 2011, 10:26 AM']I'm so tempted with this head, been wanting to try one for years! What's it with money and not having a lot of it eh! Will be keeping an eye on this though! Connor[/quote] I know exactly what you mean. But.....that sure is a purty Jazz you have there if a trade tickles your fancy
  22. Gareth Hughes
    Hey Keith - the cab hasn't gone but it does have dibs on it, so looking for someone to buy the head separately. Just saw you have a Markbass LMK head too. Great heads also.
  23. Gareth Hughes
    [quote name='Mike' post='1253207' date='Jun 1 2011, 09:47 PM']Can i have second dibs please?[/quote] Sorry Mike, Mr Bassman got in there first and the bow is gone!!!

    You're not a fraud - and you're not alone!!! I play for a living so the smug side of me reckons I'm the dogs doo-dahs. Well, I just started playing with a new band and found myself rushing all over the place. I've always been pretty proud of my timing (one drummer I work with a lot re-named his new bands click track 'The Hughes Track'), so I was well mortified at finding myself pushing ahead. But..........I have been playing a lot with a slew of young drummers in a wedding band that rush like crazy when they gets all excited. Losing whatever sensitivity I ever had, I've just started glaring at them, doing a Status Quo impersonation to show where the time is and yelling 'Are you in a rush to get home?' at the top of my lungs mid-song. The upside to all of what you're going through is that it will make you a better musician. I used to enjoy playing with dodgy drummers because it made me work harder to establish the beat. Used to. Now it just p*sses me off.

    Great bass for the money folks. I had one a few years back - a VERY satisfying sound indeed.
