I always thought they were a second rate Husker Du, although still not bad.

Spotted View New Content but can't see how to mark it as read. Looking much nicer, well done.

That looks great. I've recently bought a MIM Precision Special Deluxe which is black with a gold pickguard and P/J pickups. I've been thinking of rewiring it to passive and putting on a tort pickguard. Its a very cool looking bass.

Bought a MIM Fender P Active Deluxe from Si. No problems at all, good communication, the bass (which he sold on behalf of a friend) was exactly as described. Cheers mate, Martin

Paul and i made a record together in the early 80s and he gave the hotcake around then. Used it ever since.

[quote name='lojo' post='1314967' date='Jul 24 2011, 06:20 PM']Headphone buzz , no , mines fine and clear , check everything again, are you running an audio feed into the amp , could be that ? If not best take it back[/quote] I tried it using a different power socket and it was fine - must me an earthing problem at home. This really is a fantastic amp and works extremely well with the Compact.

Mine has arrived and sounds fantastic through my compact. The only problems are the loud fan and I'm getting an annoying buzz when using the headphones - anyone else getting this? I've tried different leads and basses and the headphones are fine using other sound sources.

Great instrument - I'd love to have a go. Tried the tablas recently - unbelievably difficult to play properly.

Mine arrives today. Another Barefaced compact user here.

How did this work out? I've got a Compact and am considering heads. The LH500 seems to be excellent value for money.

I was also lucky enough to see him in the late 70s or early 80s at some festival in NZ when I was a teen. Solo performance with lots of loop/echoplex going on. He had everything really, great playing, voice and songwriting. I saw him a year or two before he died with Danny Thompson in Leeds at the City Varieties and he still had it.

£299 for the PF500 at Andertons at the moment!!

Great album Clarky. I'd love to hear you guys do a version of Tom Waits' Hang On St Christopher (if that's not too close to home). Really good vocals, bass, percussion and brass. Guitar lets it down a touch IMO. Thoroughly recommended listening. Martin

Thanks to Keith - I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I feel I need to get myself a grown-up bass now - my Musicmaster felt very small after trying all the great basses there. Happy to help out next year. Highlight for me was Michael's Promethean. Regards, Martin

I'll take one. PM payment details please.

I have a DHA tube compressor. Personally I don't like it but then I haven't found any compressor I like yet. I work in Leeds. PM me if you'd like to try it. Martin
