You have a PM!

First bass I had was a Fender Precision, late 70's 3 tone sunburst bought from Alpha Music in Leeds. Not a great time for Fenders methinks and certainly not a patch on my next bass, a JV Squier 57 Precision. Think my first amp rig (after borrowing a Selmer Croc 50 watt T'n'B with massive matching 1x18 cab!) would have been an Acoustic 120 head into a Leech 2x15 cab with 200 watt HH drivers. (Still got the cab now, although currently loaded with 2x15 EV's.)

Bump!

What more could you want? I buy a lot of gear there, and they've always looked after me. Bought a Markbass combo there last weekend, and they knocked almost £200 off. Worst has to be Music Ground in Leeds. Never before have arrogant attitudes, rude staff and ridiculous prices come together to form such a farce of a business.[/quote] +1 for Electro. Great service and prices.

[quote name='JackLondon' post='743730' date='Feb 13 2010, 09:23 AM']It deffinitely is more than 20 years old and it's a Dunlop. Can't help you with much more sorry![/quote] Cheers. As there is no mention of a name anywhere on the pedal though I'm still confused as to who made it and when! Various possibles include Dunlop,Vox,Thomas Organ Company(!) and Jen amongst others! The bit of research I've done suggests these all made the Cry Baby at various times,but maybe needs an expert to identify which one it is from the internal pic.

Good post - over the many years of playing bass (and gui*ar) I've often fondest memories of cheaper models. Squier JV Precision, a Tokai Jazz and a great Jap Dan Armstrong see through are my fave 'cheapies', although they would n't be that now! I think its that great feeling of connecting with an instrument when you know it has n't cost as much as maybe the original it was modelled on. My MM Sub bass is as good as my Stingray in most respects, for half the dosh. Same goes for amplification-wish I'd kept some of those too. All hail good inexpensive gear!

Cant go wrong with white/off white/cream with a tort plate. Sterlings are great basses,still undervalued IMO.

I use a Pignose Hog 30 - just about ok for the job. Not sure of the price now,when I bought mine from Thomann I seem to think it was around £90. Last quite a few hours on one charge, keeps up with rest of jazz band but only just.

Anyone out there help?

Mark bought a speaker cable off me-prompt payment,good communications-top fella! Pete.

[quote name='dougal' post='740423' date='Feb 9 2010, 10:08 PM']They're usually in mm: mine's 10mm.[/quote] Guess that makes mine 16mm then-are these common?

Theres a GK 1001RB in the for sale section on here for £450 ono,which would be a great amp for you. Lots of headroom with an old school bit of grunt too........luvverly!

[quote name='Mr Bassman' post='739497' date='Feb 8 2010, 10:24 PM']It might be useful to know what the diameter is. I met a bassist at a gig in Bradford with a busted endpin, wonder if he's sorted it? I'll see if I can get in touch with him.[/quote] Nice one, thanks. Would seem to be 5/8" diameter - is that correct/standard? Cheers.

Just sold Myke some strings - quick easy transaction, top bloke to deal with! Cheers,Pete.

Just sold Matt some acoustic strings - quick easy transaction,top bloke!

[quote name='12stringbassist' post='739434' date='Feb 8 2010, 09:32 PM']Weighs nothing!!! [/quote] I want one.............

I've been sorting through my loft and came across this Cry Baby wah wah pedal that I've had since my guit*r playing days. Serial number seems to be 39424, with no other manufacturing details on it (Dunlop or Vox etc). It still works, but is missing a couple of rubber feet and the on/off switch is a bit stiff. Anyone know it's value / more info please? (Can't find much help on t'interweb.) Many thanks Pete.

Thanks! If anyone's interested in it then let me know-cheers.
