  1. I had a Glock set up for a while - can't remember which model cab though - may have been the 2x12. I was very impressed with the build quality and the tonal properties. I had the Soul head and coupled they sounded great. Shouldn't have sold them to be honest - that eternal search for that perfect sound. I don't think that Glock get the recognition they deserve TBH - IMO it's up there with the best.
  2. @AndyTravis - fretless?? Thinking of going Tapewounds? Both Warwick and Fender have a new(I think) range of Tapewounds which will make this sound lush, protect your fingers and the fretboard.
  3. I bought a Neoline 2x12 (with the EBS 360 head) following lots of positive recommendations. Relatively lightweight (easy 1 hand carry) with lots of punch, great tonally, ideal if you're after a phat soully sound. It was sturdily built and felt very professional quality. I really shouldn't have sold it but I was fooled by the "need" to move to lightweight class D rubbish that turned out to be "The Emperor's Clothes". I was also very impressed with their CS which was located a few miles up the road in Letchworth - I believe they're nolonger there though. I would highly recommend the gear. Not sure if that helped...
  4. I don't have an answer to your query but I do note that I'm seeing more Warwick amps for sale while browsing second hand sales sites like eBay/ Gumtree and Preloved.
  5. From the same source as the "Best beginners bass" comes this list of the 10 best strings. https://www.musicradar.com/news/best-bass-strings
  6. Useless fact for you - the father of the girl who lives upstairs is also named Adam Parker.
  7. Is that a strap button on the back? If drilling a hole and installing a strap button means it's more usable, then do it. If you choose to sell in the future then the new owner can decide if they want to "repair" it.
  8. Music Radar's answer to the age old question: https://www.musicradar.com/news/best-beginner-bass-guitars
  9. Possibly the most valuable because of the Damian Hurst connection but I believe the most expensive is this: https://musicalinstrumentpro.com/most-expensive-bass-guitar/
  10. Now sorted. It was actually cheaper to buy the strings through Thomann than through Warwick (as suggested above). I also managed to get a 4 string set of Rotos Tapewound for £23 from the eBay seller who did, then didn't, have the 5 string sets, hence the second low B. Like buses!! I've found that there are a couple of companies possibly trying to "muscle in" on the tapewound market - Warwick and Fender (who have introduced a .58 set) at incredibly reasonable prices compared to La Bella. It may be worth stocking up for what will probably be "introductory prices".
  11. I'm leaving on a jet plane - John Denver
  12. Is that true as a rule of thumb?
  13. They're getting a bit of a reputation for good service...in this day and age, it's a strange thing.
  14. Ariel - Dean Freedman With lines such as "She was collecting quarters in a paper cup She was looking for change and so was I..." "She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath I said "Hi", she said, "Yeah, I guess I am" " "She was sitting in a corner against the wall She would smile and I melted all over the floor" Pure 70s wet pop.
  15. All around the world - Lisa Stanfield

  17. How about an old sign for the scratchplate - loads on ebay from teabags to vintage cars. Currently less than a fiver with just over an hour to go.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274777447300?hash=item3ffa031b84:g:fikAAOSwd6pgibzd
  18. Before and after photos?
  19. The Funk - North 41 (can't get enough of this band!!!) Have a listen...
  20. There's a Skyline 55-02 on Gumtree currently for £995 - seen them sell for less but this one has a figured Maple body. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/lakland-skyline-55-02-bass-guitar/1404188663
  21. Didn't know these even existed. If they're in the same class as the TD range it must be a monster. GLWTS
