  1. Haven't got any of the parts requested, but happy to donate a strap, lead or picks.
  2. Just need to find myself a new band now.
  3. Deep joy, just played my bass for the first time in two weeks and I can still do it. Due to my recent surgery I've not been able to play standing up because of the weight and also not been able to sit and play either. But got myself propped up on the sofa this morning and Mrs. Mac did the honours, lifting my jazz down from it's home on the wall and carefully installing it on my lap. Life is complete again, well almost, still got to get back to gigging.
  4. Not usually into black basses, but that is one very pleasing looking jazz. Not so sure about the strap though.
  5. I was going to get all technical but my stupid decrepit brain is stopping me. So can't quote you the exact figure, but a 2" No.8 screw fixed into a wooden stud can support a lot of weight.
  6. I think sitting playing quietly at home I can discern a slight difference, maybe. But when in a band situation, not a jot.
  7. My old bb1200 has EMG's and sounds pretty damn fine. I'm sure Wizards would also be a good choice.
  8. A total gent to deal with. No hassle and very prompt payment. Thanks Bob. Gary
  9. My one[attachment=53457:013.jpg] If you want to know exact specification, dimensions etc. let me know and I will check out the original documentation.
  10. Yes, I've had the same and found it very confidence sapping.
  11. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Best of luck.
  12. Mine had the crackling prob, it's fairly common on these. A squirt of switch cleaner did the trick
  13. The same happened to me with my shuttle six, when playing a festival last year. It's the only time I've had a problem when using this amp, so I put it down to the generator.
  14. Very nice. some Warwicks leave me cold, but that is lovely.
  15. Shame mate. Sure Andy will be as helpful as usual. Like I said I love mine and haven't noticed any lacking in top end, but maybe the shuttle six and markbass cabs help to give me the sound I like. Good luck with tonights gig. Gary.
  16. Thanks chaps, but still can't get on.
  17. Sold and awaiting payment
  18. Anyone else having trouble getting on their website or is just me?
  19. Hello dearest daughter, welcome to bass chat. Now you will know what I do with myself all day, so don't tell mum. Also DON'T look in the For Sale sections....you have been warned
  20. haven't bumped this for a while.
  21. I've been using the Shuttle 6 for the last couple of years and have been extremely pleased. It has proved very reliable and plenty loud enough for my needs. No issues so far, other than a crackly master volume knob, which I think a few of them have suffered from. All sorted with some switch cleaner. On one gig it got a bit sulky and cut out momentarily, but we were being powered by a generator, which I think was the problem. I've been using it with Mark Bass cabs so not sure how helpful my opinion can be given you cab choice is very different. Are you after getting the same sound as your current amp or something different? All the best, Gary
  22. How did the installation go then Dave?
  23. Dave. You will be delighted I'm sure. I fitted 84's to my Squier Jazz a couple of years back and have sinced played many a gig with it. To my ears it has sounded just right, suitably turbo charged but not harsh. Other bass players and even guitarists have complimented me on the sound.
  24. Just shown this thread to my wife, to ensure a moan free future.
