  1. Anybody interested in the Aftershock, the LA Lady seems to be pretty much the same thing in different clothes... and Prymaxe have a "gently used" one going for $108. And they ship to UK.
  2. Wash your mouth out! What sort of talk is that?!
  3. Interesting preamp - what does it do?
  4. What? With a few changes a Joyo British can be made into a VT Bass-a-like?! Joyo British incoming then!

      Well you know me G, always up for a tinker!

      Well, I mean - how many overdrives is too many overdrives, right?

      I don't believe there's any such thing as too many overdrives... It's like saying I've eaten to many buns! Nonsense!

  5. Wal's are 2+2 with a string retainer. Hipshot do a nice 2 or 3 string retainer and there are cheap copies on ebay which are good quality, but much cheaper.

    Precision bass

    The original Classic Vibe Squier series was a 60s version, not the 70s block and bound. They came in Fiesta Red and Sonic Blue - there have also been reports that there are a few Olympic White ones knocking around. Brilliant basses. Also keep an eye open for an SQ series 80s Squier. Truly amazing basses.
  7. I had a 5 string once upon a time - bought from here and sold here. One of the ones that got away. Awesome, awesome, awesome bass.
  8. Fender Roscoe Beck Signature
  9. Calling @discreet
  10. Damn... me too!
  11. Possibly. I may be wrong but I believe you need to pay a lot more attention to cooling when running the 800w module at 2/2.67 ohms. Maybe they just took a conscious decision not to bother? Ashdown didn't either with their 800w amps.
  12. Does it involve them not being able to hear the rest of the band? If so I know a few guitarists that wouldn't notice...
  13. Other than 800 watts and block in the title, I don't see many similarities myself!

  15. You don't get many of those to the pound! Used to have serious GAS for 5 string one of these. GLWTS!
  16. Take 2 of your basses as examples. Toss a coin. Heads you sell bass a, tails it's bass b. If you're disappointed by the result of your coin toss your original idea has a pretty significant flaw! If not then I don't see anything wrong with having somebody else make your decision for you.
  17. I learned to play initially with a pick and regretted it later. Couldn't play with my fingers at all. It took an extended break from playing - and not being able to find a pick around the house - to get me playing with fingers. Now I play 99% of the time with fingers (usually because I still can't find a pick around the house!)
  18. Try not to picture Deputy Dog when watching that video. Bet you can't!
  19. These are awesome. Wish you were closer.
  20. Sounds positive!
  21. The slider caps on the Trace are worth half the current bid price alone. I'd take the lot if I was local... I do have hoarding tendencies though... Most of it would end up in the bin, but as parts it'd be a worthwhile purchase for somebody.
  22. Had one of these at a time. Nice bass for the money.
