Mr Bassman

O.M.G. Pete the Fish will be turning in his grave, bless him! If you like the neck I'd consider dark filler and have the markers moved.

How about a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/219948-wooden-end-pins/"]wooden end pin[/url]?

Thanks Andy Only just seen this

Peter has just hand delivered an item he had for sale How's that for service! Cheers Peter, good to see you again

Thanks for the comments and offers guys. I can't really afford to buy one outright just now so I'll have to think about trading or selling some gear.

Yes I've seen that thanks Clarky I just don't want to mess Phil around if I didn't like it. I'd rather try one out then if I like it look for a trade, otherwise I'll end up with even more black boxes.

[quote name='Bassman Rich' timestamp='1382376536' post='2251447'] I'm off to a new years do in Harrogate with a live band, the bassist better be sh*t hot, I'll be giving him the evil eye after all this!!! ;-) [/quote] Which do are you going to Rich? I'm doing a NYE gig in Harrogate.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1384124238' post='2273126'] I have a MIni CMD121P as well. Its a good quality, very easily transportable amp with decent EQ and gives a nice warm sound with a Full Circle but is slightly coloured. At the volumes my band plays this does not bother me, given the advantages. At lower volumes, Acoustic Image gives the most uncoloured 'true' representation of a DB in my opinion (I have the Ten2 combo) but I find it struggles and loses that clarity as the volume level rises (and its not that loud in any case). I had an EA Micro amp which also worked well and reminded me a lot of Acoustic Image. I think there will always be compromise with amplifying a DB, its just a question of finding the best compromise that works for you and your band. For me, thats the CMD121P and for lower volume gigs I have the MarkBass 2x8 combo, the new 802 model (which has no EQ section, just filters). TBH, the latter is a luxury as the 121P covers it all and is not that much bigger/heavier [/quote] I've been considering the CMD121P for sometime as a replacement for all my other amps. The one thing that puts me off is the yellow speaker, but someone on here has modified their's with a vintage speaker cloth, great idea! If you're getting a happy sound with it, save yourself some time, pain and money. Just keep on using it. Even if you have one of everything out there you'll never be able to pick the right one for every occasion or venue.

I've experienced too many amps to write about but I'd be happy to chat on the phone. Acoustic, Ampeg, Polytone, E.A., Acoustic Image, Genz Benz, Phil Jones, Markbass, G.K., Walter Woods, Bose to name but a few

Anyone?

Jeez, I cant be arsed reading all these posts I'd just like to mention that I've owned a 62 p bass for over 30 years It doesn't matter to me what it's worth cos it's not for sale

Will do

I've been using [url="http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5405514.htm"]these[/url] for years in the house and on gigs. [attachment=147538:IMG_0818.jpg] You just need some 22mm pipe wrap to protect the bass. Once yo've got the height and width adjusted they are very stable. They pack up flat and are inexpensive.

Bump Still looking to try one

If you're willing to have a go at fitting a bridge it's not too difficult. The hardest part is shaping the feet to the contour of the top, but I've developed a quick and easy method using Milliput. I recently bought a used Stentor with a poorly fitted warped bridge. I wanted to try a Full Circle on the bass and had various old bridges and feet already tapped with the correct thread. The feet I used required material to be added rather than removed. Hope the pics explain. And the bass sounds surprisingly good for it :-)
