  1. I think that EL34s sound the best.
  2. Ah, memories. I had one and it was the loudest Superbass in history. Bass, treble and presence on full, middle right off and volume to taste. Tone heaven.
  3. As soon as they release a left handed version I'll let you know.
  4. You don't live that far from the postman though. The price includes 24 hour postage via Royal Mail.
  5. I did say pluck.
  6. It also depends where you pluck it!
  7. The power amp input impedance is relevant as well.
  8. A few years ago my amp died, I didn't have a spare but had a Traynor 300w poweramp available. I plugged my bass into a Behringer bass graphic EQ pedal and then into the Traynor, it worked a treat, infact, it sounded great with plenty of headroom. You could always get a small mixer and use that as a preamp.
  9. I ummed and ahhed for weeks before deciding to sell this as it is a great amp but it's better being used rather than being looked at and admired.
  10. My Streamliner 900 is up for sale and if you’re reading this you know what a great amp it is. All working perfectly, including the blue LEDs and in good condition. The carry bag is a bit tatty but still does the job it was made to do. £395 posted. The manual is available here, https://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/106530/genz-benz-streamliner-900.html
  11. Strangely enough I have the same problem which means I can't play any bass without a body cut and even that is now swinging out of sight. My answer, go on a diet. I know, it's hard but I'm 'doing' the Fast 800 diet and it actually works! I've lost a stone and a half since 19th April and apart from my jeans now falling down on their own, it inspires to to carry on. Slab body basses here I come!
  12. The manual says, 300w into 8 ohms. Are you running risk of blowing the amp?
  13. I bought one new lefthanded in 1970, from Bell's catalogue and if I remember correctly, it wasn't bad. Apparently, they are going to make a lefthanded Saffire. If they do, I'll have one.
  14. No left handed so not me.
  15. How about just getting another van?
  16. Indeed, it is in St Leonards. Payment can be cash on collection, Paypal, bank transfer, I'm easy.
  17. Excellent!
  18. I’m selling my Burns 6 string bass. I’ve wanted one for 55 years and in August 2020 I finally got one. Green burst and short scale, sound and plays great. It arrived with a duff machine head which has been replaced with an identical one but with no Burns logo on it, I still have the original which I shall include. I’ve changed the strings with a NewTone set, which are great. It’s never been out of the house and is in as new condition. In love this bass and really, really want to play it but I can’t. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t get used to the string spacing and extra 2 strings so I’ve decided to let someone else have a go. It could be you! I’ve still got the original boxes and am more than happy to box it up, however, I’d like the new owner to arranger a courier. The bass weighs 3.6 kg, the boxes weight is 2.7kg, total courier weight is 6.3kg. The box dimensions are, 138cm x 51cm x 20cm. I’m after £325.
  19. Cherry for me but I'd want a left handed one so probably not.
  20. Many, many, years ago, probably very early 1970s, I acquired a pair of 4 inch ITT hifi speaker chassis. I made a couple of boxes, probably about 6 x 6 inches, out of old 1 inch shelf and mounted the speakers in them. The cabs had no backs but I did put something like carpet felt over the backs of the speakers. They sounded truly amazing. Wish I still had them!
  21. Not yet, but I will as soon as I can get the cash together. I quite like the idea of a Stat bass, left handed.
