  1. Firstly, sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my dad last August and it still hits hard even though we were all kind of prepared for it Less importantly, I bought a GR Aerotech AT212 cab a few months back with the official cover and it sounds like it's the same as yours. The cutout doesn't match up with the handle position. Still perfectly useable but if you have OCD it may be a problem. I just don't look at it......
  2. My thoughts exactly. Today's £1000/£1500 new basses were selling for around £500 used just a couple of years ago. Well worth £500 but not £1000 in my opinion. The Sterling/EBMM analogy is spot on (I've had quite a few of both price points) There's definitely a difference in feel and finishing with the American versions and they're around for £1500 used now. When the Sterling versions were £600 new that represented good value but at over a grand I don't think they are anymore. And you'll lose your shirt if you move it on.
  3. Get a wide squishy strap and don't look at it maybe?
  4. You can be mine for half that......
  5. Different people I think. Tony Iles isn't a Director of those guys. I sold him something which he collected from my house. He's a nice guy and said he's just a bit of a collector, plays them for a bit for fun and then flips them when he's ready. Does a road trip every now and then round the country collecting basses and amps. My item is still listed and he's not making much on it tbh. He plays in a band and is a good bass player too.
  6. Tony Iles......he's on FB marketplace as well. A very legit guy
  7. I fell for this little thing....So much fun amongst all the boutique spendy stuff 🙂

  9. It'll be the right decision Dave - sometimes the silly little niggley things of band life build up and begin to outweigh the fun stuff. That's when it's time to make a change. I've just gone through the same process after playing in the same band for 15 years and I don't regret it. The guys are right though, don't sell your gear just yet. I played my last ever gig on Dec 7th with the intention of taking at least 6 months off and just having a noodle at home. I now have an audition for something new tomorrow night....😂 (My wife had a secret bet with my son that i wouldn't make it into Feb without doing something) Oh and I too will miss your gig reports massively. I always read them on a Sunday morning with my own gig hangover!
  10. That night when the abominable snowman emerged from the back of our giant van whilst we were unloading the gear. The drummist had been in there moving flightcases with the back door shut. He knocked the powder fire extinguisher that lived in there and it went off right in his face in a very confined area. It looked like a scene from Scarface when we got the back door open to see what all the fuss was about.
  11. Yep, I don't think they're doing themselves any favours now. It's getting silly. And the knob placement on the new SB14 don't look right to me. Something just doesn't flow there
  12. That's only an SB14 in name. Bit cheeky innit....
  13. Ah, working for me too now. Was def FUBARED for some time before though
  14. Doesn't seem to be working... Or is it me? Or have they all hopped it to NAMM show and switched it off?
  15. Peter sold me some strings. Arrived quickly and all good. Thank you!
  16. Well, one is a 1x10 cab running at 8 ohms and the other is a 1x12 cab running at 4 ohms. And about £100 difference from what i can see. You'll only get about half your amps potential power into the 10/8 The 12" speaker will probably sound a bit deeper than the 10" The single 10" one will probably not have enough oomph at pub gig levels Go and try them out.....
  17. Why not just PM a corrected version? Occasionally people get into a bunfight with each other and the Mods have to step in to resolve it. If you can alter the message trail that would create a problem for them.
  18. I haven't a clue what I'm talking about scientifically but I would hazard a guess they wouldn't. SPL would be affected by the amount of air moved at a set volume on the amp. And a 2x10 is moving twice as much air as a 1x10. I don't think it would be twice as loud but I'm sure someone who knows what they're talking about will pop up soon and explain 🙂
  19. I grabbed a new one of those a few weeks back. Absolutely bonkers light - I nearly fell over backwards when I picked it up! Looking forward to using it in anger....
  20. NOW GONE About 25 UK Bass Guitar magazines. Most not even out of the packaging and all in good condition. Free to anyone who wants them or may swap for a nice 5 string Warwick ☺️ Collection from CM22 7NH near Harlow, Bishops Stortford, Chelmsford Essex please.
  21. Counter clockwise should lower the saddles. Check that they aren't already bottomed out. Try and add a picture taken looking under the front of the saddles if you can...
  22. A GR Bass AT212 slim cab may fit
