  1. I recently picked up a VM5 in a trade and am loving it, never really knew how incredible the Sandberg basses are and the Panther is pretty Special (see wot i did there ..) Have a bump on me, this bass deserve to be sold especially at this price!
  2. Tobie bought my Spectracomp, would trade agsin in total confidence!
  3. M2000 or L2000 G&L gets you reasonably close, but a Bongo is a Bongo and if that is what you are after, save and buy a 2nd hand one as suggested,
  4. I don't look like Theresa May, if I did I would also talk out of my @rse.
  5. I love how Rickenbacker divides, you either love them and defend them to death or you absolutely hate them..... I am of the latter persuasion, never got the point of them and their fugly. But hey, taste = personal!
  6. I just saw this, green with envy Stunning, now off to the practise shed! Lol
  7. I've had extinguisher powder sucked into an old head, also one of those things you really can do without.
  8. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1501089709' post='3342440'] Next thing you know, you'll be trying them out, finding yourself massively impressed, parting with a wedge of cash, wowing your band mates with your new authoritative tone and effortless headroom, find audiences thinking you're the bees' knees and becoming a devotee... [/quote] I actually used to have a LM800 head that I gigged for about a year. Horrid in appearance but it worked well enough. My back would love me parting ways with my Mesa Venture and 2 Tecamp L212's but I need enough speakers to keep up with my guitardist and drummer. So perhaps I will own a MB head again in future, but not with speakers in small enclosures... hourses for courses and such.
  9. I am pretty sure there is a Youtube video where it is installed in a P. Signal through would require installing a bypass switch, easy enough but does need a little extra effort.
  10. Cost vs Quality, doesn't get much better than an Ibby!
  11. Spectracomp and Chorus sold pending

    DI Box

    Radial Pro DI, there's one in the for sale section I think.
  13. Before we know it JC will be playing a Fender Dimension Custom Shop with Nordies....... I am all for change but feckkin' hell, no Wal on a Tool record.... never.
  14. How dare she....... instruments, hands off or suffer.
  15. No denying they look better without the SHOUTY logo
  16. That would be a well spent 650. Super basses, I don't see why this has not been snapped up.
  17. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1500916882' post='3341075'] So what qualifies as good looking in your books, then?! If you say "Barefaced" I'm gonna say "should have gone to specsavers" [/quote] No, we are in full agreement there. Barefaced also scores high on the fugly scale. If we are talking combo stacks, I like the look of a Mesa Walkabout/Scout combination. But I am not THAT shallow, function over form so I would even suffer a Barefaced or Markbass stack
  18. I am only half decent with a pick after 27 years of playing and pretty much refused to play with a pick for at least 15 of these years. I would rather be a fingerstyle only than a pick only player if I had to choose, but taste is personal so who cares right? Botton line is that it doesn't matter as long as you lock with the drummer.
  19. Nope, still fugly..... runs away quickly. I've tried one myself now, it does sound pretty awesome for the size it is. Mega crisp and defined.
  20. Cleaning out some stuff I never ever use: - TC Electronic Spectracomp - good as new - bought because it is tiny. A really impressive bit of kit but I do prefer my Keeley Pro even though it is 3 times the size and 3.5 times the price, I have pretty much used this twice and it is thus still pretty much new. New these are GBP80+ quid, as it is totally new looking for 60 shipped. SOLD PENDING - Corona Chorus+ - this is the limited edition black version of the Corona with the Tri Chorus setting - in very good nick. Great chorus, but I use an XTOMP that emulates the preferred setting I use well enough so I can free up some space. GBP116 new (yes, they are a little more expensive than a normal Corona), looking for 75 shipped. SOLD PENDING - OneControl Black Loop - simple pedal, 2 parallel loops for tight pedalboard - can also power the pedals you route through it. Simple but if works well. In good nick. These cost GBP60 new, looking for 35 shipped. - OneControl Minimal Loop + BJFE Buffer. This thing is amazing, it is a single loop, ABY, Buffer and a number of other things all in one. Great little pedal but I have 2 and only need 1. In very very good nick. Cost GBP75 new, I am looking for 50 shipped. I might be open to trades, but don't really need anything so just try me. Am in Greater Manchester area on August 7/8th if that helps.

    Ibanez BTB 1806

    I could btw imagine that in conjunction with an OBP pre they could sound a bit darker, Aguilar does tend to make their pre's on the darker side of the spectrum. I use a Glock 3 band pre, but often play passive which sounds great with the DCBs.

    Ibanez BTB 1806

    I wouldn't say they are particularly dark, they are quite even across the sonic spectrum and to me sound like a halway house between the warm tones of a Bart and the direct transparent nature of the EMGs. I could imagine that a "growly" bass would still be growly with the DCBs because they do not add or change much frequency wise. My Bogart is graphite necked with a composite body that sounds remarkably woody, the DCBs certainly do not sound overly dark in it. Warm yes, dark no.
