  1. Way better than I will manage 🤣
  2. Retired from bigger gigs so adding more stuff to sell. Cabs this time..... I have a pair Barefaced Big Baby 2 cabs to move on. Happy to split and the listed price is for each cab. Good gigged condition and I have one Roqsolid cover as well (the other cab always lived in a flightcase in storage) You probably know what these things do. One is enough for most pub gigs and 2 will cover anything imho. They'll soak up anything you put through them and you can dial back the waveguide if you want to turn it into a Compact with more low end. Most people think you're going through the PA at medium or larger gigs. One has no sticker on the rear - it was the very first production cab and Alex didn't have the serial number stickers ready. I went down to Brighton to collect the cab. He posted a sticker out a few months after I bought it but I lost it! You can take your pick between them and there's a discount for both if you want them. The pictures are only of one cab as the other is buried in the spare room at present! Collection or meet up only please. I'm near J7a of the M11 near Harlow Happy to listen to trades. I'm looking to get a decent small gig worthy combo (GR or Markbass?) or a smaller cab or two. Maybe a single 2x12 cab? Or a Barefaced 3x10 if I have my stupid head on! Hit me up... Thanks for looking 😁
  3. Cort A4 Plus FMMH in open pore blue/black finish. Flame maple top and mahogany body. Bought a 5 string last week so I've triggered my one in, one out threshold. This is actually my favourite 4 string bass to play. It has the comfiest slim neck that just feels right to me and it's pretty light at 3.8kg. The body ergonomics are perfect. No neck dive or stretch to the first fret. But my 2 remaining 4 strings are much harder to replace so this has to go. Upgraded with Hipshot USA ultra lite tuners and a Hipshot detuner worth a fair bit. Bartolini pickups and preamp and a passive bypass switch all as stock. The only wear of note is a slight corrosion to the top strap button and a bit of buffing to the forearm contour. It's been in a good gig bag from new. I picked this over an A4 Ultra with the Fishman pickups a few years back. To me it just had a bigger open sound than the more expensive bass but with the same feel. Choice of 3 good gig bags by separate negotiation if you want one (Fusion Urban, Gator Pro Go or Gator Transit) Collection or meet up only please. Happy to travel a bit for fuel and have lots of crimbo biscuits. I'm just off J7a of the M11 near Harlow/Bishops Stortford. (I'm also selling my my Mesa Boogie BB750 amp and a Barefaced BB2 cab in separate adverts) Thanks for looking 😊
  4. In my opinion these older cases are amongst the best you can find. Super comfy handle, light and really strong. 3u tall and 260mm useable depth (to the inside of the back panel). All catches and feet are fine. General wear to the case but no damage or cracks. Comes with the 1u vented blanking plate. Ideally collect from me near Harlow J7a of the M11 but we do have bubblewrap so I can post at your expense.
  5. Part of my retirement from the long term band plan is to have a go at learning to play a 5 string properly without the distraction of having to play a 4 string every weekend. I've tried a couple of times before...the first one was when I swapped my old 2 band Stingray for a beatiful USA G&L L2500 a few years ago. It was lovely, built like a tank and sounded great to me. I spent a month having a go at home on it and then tried it at a gig. Got through the first set sort of ok but then chickened out and swapped back to my 4 string as I kept doing the mental fluff that is forgetting the B string wasn't actually the E string 😂. Being mainly a pick player it seems harder to adjust (If I play finger style it seems to work a bit easier for me) Attempt number 2 was earlier this year. Ongoing back issues had me trying to find a superlight bass that I could afford and liked. Tried an Ibanez EHB1505 headless in a shop and liked the sound. Didn't want to splosh that sort of cash though and 4 string versions are quite rare. A few months later the cheaper EHB1005 version popped up locally on here so I grabbed it and had another go. Great bass, lovely and light but I couldn't get on with the super flat fretboard radius and kept tripping over my fingers. It felt a bit cheap to me too. The knobs and general build mainly. Sold it. So I'm idly pooching about on the web looking at combo's to replace the gig rig and tripped over something on the Andertons site by accident. Something I never would have looked at before. But it seemed a bit of a bargain so I did more research. Hardly anyone seems to have one which also appeals to me (I like underdogs and left of centre stuff generally). The stuff I found online seemed to be quite interesting and it sounded great to me so I hit the button on it and it arrived last week. It's a Markbass Gloxy GV5 in black with a maple board. A super jazz 5 string with a VVT tone and a Mark Bass 3 band active eq all in a Precision body and possibly with the most ridiculous name ever. Classic colour scheme and a bit stealth in terms of features. It was reduced from £770 to £385 inc a decent gig bag which seems a great price to me. I've had a Sire jazz in the past and I suppose it's the natural competitor to this bass but the build quality on the Mark Bass is way better and gettting on towards my old G&L I think. I'm a week in to it and I think it's going to stick (but I've said that before...). Haven't weighed it yet but it feels light to me. They come with a basswood or alder body and mine is alder. It was well set up when it arrived but I've got the action down to stupid low and it plays really easily. Loving it so far. No pics yet but here's a pretty good demo of it in the wrong colour with a bloke who actually knows how to play
  6. Remember it will be older Trace Elliott watts though....handle with care!
  7. In: Laney Digbeth preamp Out: VT Bass Di preamp In and out: Ibanez EHB1005 Shaking it all about: MarkBass Gloxy GV5 (see Bargain PSA/NBD post) That's not a bad result by my admittedly poor standards I have no chance in 2025......I'll be selling my gigging amp and cabs and having a rethink/shuffle
  8. Should be fine. You'll need the correct speaker connection cable. The cab is probably a speakon input - the amp may be a jack output. You shouldn't have an issue finding a jack to speakon lead. Just don't cheap out on it too much.
  9. Those little Digbeth preamps are a brilliant bit of kit!
  10. I picked up one of these Markbass Gloxy 5 strings in black and maple. A super jazz with a P bass body. It's part of my retirement from the band plan to learn to play a 5 string (the 3rd attempt)
  11. Check out the bass solo at about 2.25 in. It made my eyes go funny until I could figure out what was happening!
  12. I discovered Haley Reinhart and subsequently Post Modern Jukebox. Totally not my normal bag of fish but oh my word, what a singer! (And the second video is of PMJ with Morgan James singing one of my faves)
  13. Apparently I was irreplaceable when I handed in my notice back in July - the other guys decided to fold the band rather than find a replacement. Devasting good looks and unbridled talent would be hard to replace I thought. Or maybe it was because I got all the gigs, did all the social media, sorted all the lighting out and stopped the drummer killing the singer and guitarist... 🙂
  14. Just ask Alex for a replacement speaker - It'll be a lottery putting something else in there. And as fretmeister says above you'll lose all the resale value in the cab if you wanted to move it on.
  15. I used to have a mooch on TB mainly becasue there was a decent Spector group on there and a few guys going on the same amp/bass journey as me. Loads of real hillbillies on there though and the recent facelift totally ruined it in my opinion. Its very clunky now and I can't be bottomed with it anymore.
  16. That is bootyfull!
  17. You're in Redonizm Greg? Looks like Rekovered are in on Friday at the Cow the night before you. They'll pull a big crowd there. Hope there's some money left for the locals to come out in the Saturday for you.
  18. The regulars are a lovely bunch. It's like the Star Wars Cantina Bar in a good way! Saturdays are usually pretty good anytime there. Fridays can be a bit hit or miss depending on who's playing at Papillon up the road. If it's a good band there they sometimes head off at half time and split the evening. Or start at the Pap and finish at the Cow.
  19. I think Carlos Fandango was just a bit confused as to which one he should use. He's was fishtailing for about 100 yards before he drove into everyone else. Left, right, left, right, left, oh poop!
