    Hi. Whereabouts near bristol are you?cheers
  2. sbrag
    Thanks. If this had been intentional to buy a bass I'd have called him wal (and money was no object). Thanks for the mtd advice. Anyone know what the tobias Toby basses are like?

    Any tobias advice gratefully received. Cheers

    I'm considering getting a Tobias as we've just had a son and that is now his name so it seems fitting to think about a bass with his name on for whe he is old enough. Only trouble is ive never played one so could do with some advice. Toby pros or mtd kingstons are more my price range but ive read that post gibson tobias' aren't propper ones so is it worth selling a kidney for a pre gibson one, or are the toby pro basses as good as they look? Thanks for any help.

    How big a job is a recap? The head was a cheapish ebay purchase a while back but I love the sound despite the head weighing a ton and being as big as a 2x10. I'm in 2 minds whether to get it fixed or flog it for spares/repair.

    Might just be a bust solder joint but it is old but not valve. Its peavey musician head from 70s which cuts out after being played for a few minutes. I'm hoping it just needs a clean and a dab of solder. Heron isn't too far from me may try to drop it in to Justin. Thanks

    Can anyone recommend a good amp repairer in bristol. I understand jessie james is the man but apparently he has not been well. The 2 nearest me are either heron music or amp loft. But am aware of steve at pmt, treblerock, and electrofix. Has anyone had any experience with any of these or could recpmmend anyone else. Cheers

    There's been a few yamaha bb1100s in the for sale section for about that price. I've had mine years and they are bargins now. Really versatile active / passive switch nice neck and a really broad range of tones. Not the most flamboyant looking though!

    baby names

    sbrag replied to sbrag's topic in General Discussion

    All that's been considered because my cousin grew up with the initials a r s! Surname is bragg so no suggestion of billy please! Thing is I've never played a tobias or an mtd it just seemed like a good excuse for a new bass(it'll be his to grow into)! Are the cheaper tobias' or mtd kingstons any good?

    [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1362742238' post='2004043'] Hehe, I like your thinking! Tobias is a cool name too. Skol Jnr is called Max... so that's his volume setting sorted out already Wishing you all the best with the new arrival. [/quote] Does it go to 11?

    Ive got a baby due any day and one of the names on our shortlist is tobias. If this is the name we go for, does that mean that i have to buy a bass of the same name. If that is the case how can i convince my wife that Wal would be a good middle name?

    [attachment=129172:bass1.jpg][attachment=129172:bass1.jpg]For Sale, Peavey Musician Bass head for sale circa 1970s. This is a big solid old trasistor head with built in fuzz, overdrive and tremelo effects, and 2 channels and sounds fantastic. It has developed a fault wher after a few minutes playing it starts cutting in and out. I looked looked into getting this fixed before Xmas and was told it probably just has some dry joints and needs a clean and a dab of solder so is probably an easyish job if you know what you are doing (which I don't!). Trouble is I couldn't get it fixed in time for a gig so I bought an Ashdown Superfly to tide me over and even though I much prefer the look and sound of the Peavey the Ashdown is more smaller and more convenient for my needs at the moment, and as I don't need two Amps I'll have to let this one go! £60 ono. I'm in Bristol but happy to post in the UK for cost. Any questions, please let me know.

    £40 or make me an offer anyone, or trade towards a fretless?

    1970s Arbiter SG style Bass Guitar with a short scale neck for Sale. £60 ono. or trade for a fretless (plus cash your way most likly!) I bought this last year on a whim from ebay with a view to fixing it up and trying some drop tunings. However I have decided this isn't for me and need to clear some space. I have cleaned up the bass, given it a set up, and a new set of Slinkys. A couple of things to note are the neck pick up doesn't work and I don't know the reason for this and the A string needs a new saddle, and the body has a few paint chips but nothing major (but it is a 40 year old ish instrument) and hopefully the price reflects this. Other than that it plays nicely and has a good thumpy tone similar to an EB0. Good cheap bass. Happy to post (UK only) but don't know what it would cost yet but would guess £15 to £20 Any questions please let me know. NOW SOLD

    Trouble is the only true cure is to think a more annoying tune. The theme from terry and June beats all other ear worms.

    I've had the bass line to badge by cream stuck in my head for about a month for no apparent reason. I cant remember th last time i listened to it but do have to play it occasionally to get the ear worm to stop. Are there any other sufferers of random bass line ear worms.
  21. sbrag
    I might have to try and get to heron music or electric ladyland and see what they have in!
  22. sbrag
    Thanks. I've pm'd about the westone. I don't think Ive played one in 20 years but do remember that they are a solid chunk of wood but can't remember what the necks are like.
  23. sbrag
    Would you consider posting the westone ?
  24. sbrag
    Thanks for the ideas. I've just missed out on a couple on evil bay and will keep looking. Thanks everyone.

    I been promising myself a fretless for years and have tried a squier vm jazz fretless which seems good value and is nice to play. Just wondering if anyone can recommend anything else worth considering in that sort of budget as there doesnt seem much choice in the shops around bristol. I prefer j necks to p. Any advice gratefully received. Cheers
