  1. I know that EBS are well respected but I still think that they don't get the full respect that the equipment deserves. I had a 360w head and 2x10 cab which I foolishly sold to go lightweight. IMO one of the best setups I ever had - coincidentally the same rig as Laurence Cottle was using at the time which led to a great conversation when he did a seminar at the first Herts Bash. Really should have held on to it.
  2. Agree with every word written. Any time I have needed to have contact with Ashdown the service has exceeded my expectations. I once bought an amp from ebay, after speaking to Guy I had it sent straight to the Ashdown factory where it was serviced FOC and sent to me without charge. I didn't give them a penny!! That is my yardstick for good customer service and nobody, and I mean nobody, has come close. Closest was Bernie Goodfellow who, similarly, was servicing a bass for the owner which I bought while in his care. Bernie rang me to ask how I wanted the bass set up - loooow - and what strings I liked. I like very light strings (95s ideally) - he didn't have a set in stock so went and bought a set, set the action and fitted the strings for me. He even paid for the courier - so a very close second. Big companies have no excuse!! - Warwick are you listening??
  3. I've been looking for a white pickup cover for my short scale Musicman without any luck. I could buy a replacement pick up with a white cover for £20 but I already have enough unused parts in my parts box. After trying everywhere else I finally tried Strings'n'things - the UK importers for Musicman - expecting to be told "no, go away". However I got a prompt response saying "Yes, give us your address and we'll order one for you". AMAZING!!! Here's the details you'll need to place an order: [email protected] M05343 – SR White H Version Only – RRP £8.10 incl. VAT + £2.50 P&P.

  9. I think that there would be members here interested in buying/ trading for the pickup covers.

  12. There's a 6er on eBay for £2650 currently https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334512432802?hash=item4de27ea6a2:g:8UEAAOSw1E1i3bWo&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwEc0%2BK1SlOfnSXLaManjApiN3UszaQ11%2BQtnF1sKZ0bVvWP47OJ7zWSkbenOgyFYb16oS6%2BhzC7ulyezeIhC0V2i1KuT0BBBkwC7%2BVzrvBPJY644uRfgC1cSbxzFDhv0ChTGI5UaOUTQsd4tnM4u785JlSN9l%2FgKAQ%2BREvOVrT0DNZ3LQOvArEcptpvBF0%2BD4%2BA%2FJ6KP%2Fm1Yjck%2BuIgsd%2F%2BzHTEuN7ow2xyBcY0eFYLGALEbQjgjYPnbImqTQyfZfQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-ru3L-jYg
  13. She loved like Diamond - Spandau Ballet
  14. Possibly...there have been some hideous creations appearing on ebay from new idiots recently.
  15. I bought an Aguilar OB2 TK Preamp late last week. Polite and efficient phone order - put in the post that evening. I know that others have had less than perfect service. Shows that they do get it right sometimes.
  16. Stop that train - lots of reggae artistes
  17. Is anybody confident enough using WordPress to help another bass player with a project?

    It'll be a paid project. 

    Please contact me for more details.

      Until a list of requirements are known , it’s difficult to know what to suggest.
       

      If it’s an online shop there are quite a

      lot of options, though all have pros and cons. I use OpenCart for my online shop , but I host it on a virtual private server. OC is free but it's a lot of work. 

       

      Perhaps the person wants a blog, lots of options there. 

       

      Could be they need a simple website for their band and booking tickets?

       

      There appear to be an awful.lot of experience offered here but until we know the person wants, it's difficult to recommend a solution.

  18. Agree...good buy
  19. Plenty of necks for sale here and on eBay. What are you looking for?
  20. What about in the dark, without any lights on?? From a distance nobody can tell the difference...
  21. What about your mood being a factor in the sound of your bass, eh? I tell you, my basses sound completely different depending on whether I'm happy or angry... About as believable.....
  22. Welcome to hell - Plan B
  23. I have three Trace Elliot AH150 heads - why wouldn't you? Also have two Yamaha BBG5S - one in white, the other in blue. Don't forget my fretted and fretless TRB1005 - both in natural figured maple. Two Yamaha NE1 preamp pedals. When you are on to a winner why not keep it going.
  24. Bye bye love - The Everley Brothers
  25. I think I have the matching neck pickup somewhere if anybody is after the pair.
