I Found that my Dingwall sounded really special with a little contour dialled in but my vintage Fenders sounded better with the contour off.

That actually looks rather good

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1471873503' post='3116566'] er, yes [/quote]We are old mates, would jam and go to gigs back in the 70's. Don't see each other these days other than on FB. A very fine chap.

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1471863643' post='3116408'] I have a funny story about Wishbone Ash. Basically I first saw them in about 1987/8 when they toured the original line up. They had another guitarist helping, because Ted Turner hadn't learnt all the set yet. My then G/F chatted up the said guitarist and went home with him. They got married. I met him years later and told him this. It's all very funny and a long time ago. He was at last nights gig!! It's always lovely to see himself [/quote] Are you talking about Jamie?

I purchased a Mono Bass Sleeve from Bass Gear a few months back. The level of protection is impressive, along with the design, build quality and price.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1471862803' post='3116394'] I'm not sure I'd want to 'downsize' to a heavier cab without wheels, rather than not turn the volume knob as high! [/quote]

I've had mostly good dealings with them. I tend to either buy on one of their regular sale days or look out for auctions, rather than BIN.

Either will do the job, I'm sure

Good for you, hope it goes well. Will you be using my old P bass?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1471785023' post='3115811'] Just picked up my BF Two10 & Four10 stack. Can`t wait to give the Four10 a try on Tues (the whole stack may be a bit over-powering for a 15x15 rehearsal room). [/quote] Hertfordshire will be declared a disaster zone if you unleash that lot Lozz

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1471683693' post='3114961'] Buy one of our One10 cabs and use it for a month - if it doesn't do what you need we'll have it collected and give you a full refund waiving the usual return postage cost. If my recommendation is wrong it won't cost you anything! [/quote] Can't say fairer than that. I would most certainly be taking Alex up on that offer.

I love the sound and feel of flats on a P bass. For me though, they don't work with the band that I currently play with and I find that zingy rounds are a much better fit. My fretless which only gets played at home, is wearing a set of status half wounds, as recommended by discreet. I am very impressed, not only with discreet but also the strings . Super comfortable to play, with a warm, bright non muddy sound.

[quote name='Tradfusion' timestamp='1471717128' post='3115319'] Really nice amp heads... Has anyone reading this tried out any of the Handbox cabs or combos yet? [/quote] I not aware of anyone with a cab or combo over here.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1471709877' post='3115259'] If you like the GK tone, I`d stay in house and look at the MB Fusion amps. They do the classic GK sound, but due to the pre-amp valves can really warm up and become darker as per your needs for the new band. Plus they`re very light/portable so really fit all requirements. [/quote] Have to agree with Lozz and it's what I use.

I love the industrial look of this rig looking forward to getting another Handbox amp in a couple of weeks.

What rotten luck

A total gent to deal with. Excellent communication throughout our recent dealing. I'm very happy to recommend.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1471346772' post='3112293'] Ooops, sorry...No model number on the ad so I wasn't sure if it was worth a punt - I won't now...good luck [/quote] In truth Mick, it's on my watch list but so is a whole load of stuff. I really need to be selling at the moment, not buying, so you go ahead mate.

Yes, this one has been on my watch list for a few days. I suppose I'll be bidding against hordes of BC'ers now

I like my fretless with virtually no relief, at what would be the eighth fret position, when holding the string down at the end of fret board and first fret.

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1471256408' post='3111548'] Ha... Cheers. Where in the country are you? I'll let you know when we are local [/quote] I'm in Herts.
