    There was a 12” SWR Workingmans cab on a FBook bass sales page a few days ago..really cheap. Good design (slightly wedge shaped) but just the cab. Will have a look and see if it’s still going. Also there are some new Ashdown Studio combos coming soon. The specs look good, but it might be a few weeks before they are available. Edit - cab sold

    Plenty of interest...but its still here people!

    I think the JJ has a bit more drive in the front end, but you probably couldn’t tell much difference unless you had both amps in front of you 😳

    The SWR workingman stuff was very good, especially from the earlier days. Not light by modern standards, but I did several years with the original 12” combo. A sansamp or other preamp box helped a lot to warm it up. Used ones these days tend to look pretty knackered as the RatFur carpet gets worn if there isn’t a cover on the amp. A quick going over with a nylon washing up brush can help restore the carpet, but how much it cleans up depends on the treatment it’s had. Worth looking out for 😎

    😎 course not! I remember hearing my first Weather Report LP’s and being surprised that Jaco never slapped, and didn’t sound like Stanley Clarke 😳. It was a long time ago, and information and media travelled very slowly..unless there was a serious sell being co-ordinated by a record company. I don’t think I heard Jaco’s first solo album until about 1984...but I’d been looking for a copy since at least 1981..

    They were responding to the demand of the time...Jaco had arrived, fretless was cool..most of us in the UK heard Percy Jones and John Giblin before we really heard Jaco 😜. The mid-heavy Wal pickups also suited fretless rather well..

    Widcombe Social Club in Bath...great space, would need promotion..

    They do one off’s on Saturdays sometimes - try and talk to Steve Henwood...he wears tie dye! Probably would just fit in there..with some squeezing 😳

    Worth talking to The Bell in Walcot St, Bath. Music on Monday/Weds eve and Sunday pm. Also has a smaller room at the back for hire..
  10. BassBod
    Definitely talk to Aguilar direct...good chance they will be more helpful than UK distributor. I’d second the Ashdown RM500 suggestion, esp if you have the TH pedal, and like it 😎
  11. BassBod
    I’m surprised too 😳

    The shop is renowned locally...as being totally weird 🤪.
  13. BassBod
    Bit odd...I’d be more than a bit suspicious. Not the place to sell unusual basses 😳
  14. BassBod
    Serious cab 😎
  15. BassBod
    Do tell more...not heard of them 😳

    I talked to Mr Bravewood a few years ago, and he steared me towards WD as a good current version. And yes, it’s worth the effort..bad tort is a terrible and far too common thing. I do know of someone who grows his own, so to speak...and could be tempted to reveal his identity in a PM 😳

    Glad it’s gone to good home 😎

    Last call before EvilBay......

    Sold a cab to Stew - great communication, just like BassChat deals usually are 😎.

    Great little DI with some unusual features and options. Raven Labs was Steve Rabe’s next company, after he sold SWR. They only made a few products (small preamps, eqs DI boxes) and lasted five or six years before closing down. This is a very high quality DI with both an active preamp and a passive transformer, for clean and noise free performance. Two switchable inputs, (10 megOhm) phase reverse, choice of four output levels and an effects loop, with blend. Power from two 9v batteries lasts up to 100 hours. Has an input (stereo mini jack) for a power supply, but it’s an unusual +\- 9v format, so probably easier to use batteries. Comes with original instruction booklet. UK postage £5. Collection from Bristol/Bath area fine. Also on EvilBay, so might sell there first

    Another option - just the Basic 350 in a used but functional RockBag case...£230 posted to UK
  22. BassBod
    Will PM later...there are options😜

    Very sad to hear this today..he was a fantastic musician. I heard he recently had pneumonia, but thought he’d recovered 😳
  24. BassBod
    Like this...😎

    It was in an SKB...still could be 😜
