    This is a lovely example of an ACG likely one of the best basses you've never played, specially at this price. GLWTS

    I've got a Yamaha bb425x and it's just so comfortable I'm thinking about an upgrade and I'm wondering if you can still get them. The 425x is not an expensive bass but it just fits right. Are the 1025s worth the money ? Would I be better holding out for a secondhand one ? Any opinions would be welcome. Thomann have a stock and I may have to go new as I see none secondhand.

    I used a DI box when using it so hadn't noticed. But it's only a small negative on a great piece of kit. But yeah, stupid idea.

    I played through one of these at a gig on Saturday night beside a drummer who was beating the life out of his kit. Had the chance to compare the 500 watt rumble combo (280watts without extension cab) to a TC electronic 250watt combo alongside it and there was a really huge surprising difference in the tone ,volume, aggression, sheer floor shaking sound; in fact everything. No competition and I'm now the proud owner of the very light and aesthetically pleasing aforementioned 500 watt beast. On leaving the gig I had my bass in a gig bag slung over my back, the rumble 500 watt combo easily in one hand and the cable and pedal case in the other. One easy lift and walk to the car. Bass playing as it should be. I don't think I will need another cab for the moment but for the pure look of the vintage finish I might just have to. Go buy one. Now.. Go on.....

    Tech 21 VT bass pedal. Get that lovely sweet bass sound with this piece of kit. Bought this on a whim and I'm never gonna get the chance to use it loud n proud. Comes in original tin in pic. Postage included to UK only.
  9. Black Coffee
    Does exactly what it says on the tin, very well actually but I'm currently only using it as a DI box so someone else might as well be enjoying it. In excellent condition with box etc. Post inluded to UK only.

    This pedal is about a week and a half old. Bought from bass direct, and used at one gig. I like the idea of effects and I keep buying them but I simply dont get on with them and prefer a plain old passive bass sound played hard. You would think I would have learned my lesson by now. So total bargain here. Post incl to UK only.

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1428473480' post='2741516'] Of course but OP listed it as the CIJ model [/quote] Apologies , now fixed.
  13. Black Coffee
    Sorry for any confusion here, none intended. The bass is a CIC, original text now fixed. My stupid typing. Its a modern player series. Hope this clarifies, once again sorry.

    [quote name='Shabbs' timestamp='1428447336' post='2741456'] Is this a Squier? [/quote] Probably should have said, this is not a squier. All fender.

    These are amazing looking basses. GLWTS

    This is my fender jaguar bass. It's a CIC. Four string P and J pups. Couple of small dings but nothing major at all. It plays really smooth and IMHo feels nicer than my recent MIJ P bass. Comes with gigbag. I just can't get back onto a four string as I'm always needing that B. Any questions just ask. Postage included to UK only.

    Thats a beauty. Covet covet covet. . . . .

    Sold

    This is my shuttlemax 12.2 amp head. 1200 watts of pure joy, just vastly more than I need at the minute. I have all the original packaging and the price includes postage to UK only. I've got a gigskinz case for the head as well which is a great cover for it, as it fits perfectly. It's been gigged about four times and only home practice at other times so it's in near perfect condition. All the info and spec is on the net better than I could ever post it here. Any questions just ask, I also am selling a Genz Benz focus 410 cab in a separate post.

    This is a beauty. One of my favourite passive basses is a peavey grind. My son plays one at college while studying music and ive offered to buy him a more expensive bass but hes not that interested because he loves the reliability and simplicity and the solid quality in the one he has. lovely instument. Id have a nibble but i dnt need it. Really. GLWTS

    [quote name='Ticktock' timestamp='1428076396' post='2737870'] They sold off a Thumb for cheap??? Fools...but good on you getting it and punting it on. [/quote] It's the only bass I've made money on. Everything depreciates
  22. Black Coffee
    Oh no, that's got the gas font going. I'd love to try one of these, but not likely unless a current unknown rich relative leaves me a fortune. Time wasters are a pain but have a bump and GLWTS

    [quote name='Humph' timestamp='1427709538' post='2733184'] Music shops are woeful here in general. They don't even stock good bass strings half the time... hello Thomann! Matchett's in particular winds me up every time I'm in. They used to stock a Warwick Thumb and Jazzman, but now it's all Fenders/Squires/Ibanez. Mehhhh. [/quote] Welcome to the forum. I'm also from Ballymena area, and yes the music shops aren't great. Two new ones have opened recently though in the ballymena town centre. As for Matchetts, I bought the last warwick thumb I remember seeing in matchetts. It was about a week after they sold the jazzman you are talking about, and I won't say how little I paid for it, but it was so very stupid cheap. Sold it for what I definitely won't disclose about a month later. Enjoy the conference in August, new horizon I presume ?

    Welcome Lots to learn here. Enjoy the craic too

    Stingray 5 H in tobacco burst finish and a peavey grind 5. They both looked rough but felt and sounded perfect to me. Also never had neck issues or any other symptom of bother. These are the two I wish I could have back most, out of about 30 basses I've been through. Not that I'm not happy with my current setup, just loved the feel of those two.
