  1. I remember buying my first set of High Beams for £20 in 1995 a revelation at the time. I used to buy them in bulk whenever I was playing in the states, and they were cheap and lasted ages. Prices have gone daft in the UK, to a point where I stopped using them and went to Dunlop Superbright nickels, however they've gone up so much they cost the same as DR, but don't last anywhere as long, as im now gigging again i need longevity. After recently buying a set of High Beams, they don't sound the same to me, very harsh and not much bottom (ears and taste change over time I suppose) I've recently tried Fat Beams again as Pure blues don't last 5 mins, and liked them. I've been ordering from Amazon and I've found that the prices fluctuate a lot and occasionally they can be quite cheap. Also the 5 string versions are only a couple of quid more than the 4. I've noticed they occasionally have sets marked as used for up to £10 cheaper, but as these are returned and I've heard horror stories of people buying new strings and returning the packaging with old strings, which Amazon just resell without checking, I'm reluctant to try them.
  2. Alex has just bought an EBS Dphaser from me. Great comms and a very friendly chap. Paid without hassle and everything great. Thanks loads Alex
  3. Thanks Drew! Sorry mods! Could this be merged with my thread? 🙏
  4. Good man! You'll be a happy camper.
  5. Can't believe this is still here! Its been a staple on my board for ages. Its worth the price for the Fuzz alone, anyone wanting a 3 leaf Doom tone, this gets close
  6. Ooh that subversive propaganda looks cool, if all the gig money wasn't going towards next month's holiday spends, I'd have this.
  7. Oh no that's a shame, faded sonic blue/surf green are my favourite colours on a P bass (mines black 😁)
  8. Good gives me time to save for a T47 mini 😁 Now a mini T70 would rule the planet.
  9. Fully boxed, and I'll do it for £65 posted, before I change my mind again,you will not get a better Phaser for this kind of money.
  10. Lovely looking bass,I'd love a stingray 5 again.
  11. After using this in a van full of the bands equipment on Friday, I've decided it's too useful to sell, so I'm keeping it for now.
  12. What a fantastic buy! I've just bought one of these. And am currently adding the same mods as this, to make it JV spec (spiral bridge/reverse tuners etc) the quality is exactly the same as the JV's (I have one of those too). I'd prefer the burst finish, but I'm still happy with my black one. Great bass, whoever buy it will be very happy.
  13. I've just bought one of these and can attest that they are absolutely fantastic. MIM versions are going for more than this and they arnt as well made, a total bargain. If I had the cash I'd have two 😁
  14. No sorry
  15. Got this recently with a bass purchase, and after spending £130 on mods, I need to claw some back. Its Gators economy line but its extremely well made. Sturdy and offers loads of protection but really light too. I may keep this yet,as its the first hardcase I've had that I'd be inclined to use. It's plywood with PVC covering and fur interior with a storage compartment. It's in as new condition. Sold
  16. Bought this very recently as I'm gigging again and take two basses, unfortunately(or fortunately,delending on your needs) it's built like a tank, and with all my cables/mic/accessories etc, it's too damn heavy to carry. I also car share and its too big to fit in (perfect for the van though) This really is a fantastic bag, with all the storage you could want, but as well as being waterproof, it comes with a handy raincover. Fleece lined with a neck pillow and plenty of room for all types of Basses. Pretty much new, and I've had to stop using it, so someone with better transport may have more use than I, such I shame as its the pooches dangles, I may eventually get a single one. £125 incl UK only delivery Do I really need to say the basses arnt included 🤣
