I would like to, ideally, trade my Blackstar Unity 700H head (featuring the optional 'extra' FS12 Footswitch) with your Orange 'Little Bass Thing' or Orange OB1 head. The Blackstar is a veritable Swiss Army Knife of great bass sounds. It's a hefty sounding rig that's punchy and versatile in equal measure. The reviews and YouTube clips on the unit speak for themselves. Oodles of headroom and surprisingly useful effects (Compressor/Octaver/Chorus) make this a one-stop solution for any sound. Inherently, I am more of 'an Orange' man (other colours are available) and looking for a trade. Alternatively, I am happy to sell the head. Both the Blackstar Unity 700H (and myself) reside in East London near Tower Bridge. Happy to meet within a reasonable distance (define 'reasonable') should a trade be an option.

This looks fab. Great work. Ergonomic Reverse Engineering for the win. Have you kept the original pickup? How are you finding the bass as a whole post-mods?

Markbass Traveller 151P Traveller Cab and RoqSolid Cover This is simply a great 1x15 Cab. It's light in weight. And decidedly heavy in sound. The cab resides in East London (Wapping) and collection would be ideal. That said, I am up for a 'liaison' if someone wants to meet me at a motorway services within a reasonable distance. (what IS a reasonable distance?) (what IS the meaning of life?) This cab has barely been used. And, yes, it's the Italian-made version which means that it's 'that' much better than the new ones. (actually, I've heard the Indonesian-made equivalent and the sound quality seems identical to my ears) (your ears may vary)

The Wal that’s in the Band Aid video… up for sale…
denki109 replied to TrevorR's topic in Bass Guitars
I had the pleasure of meeting Rhino at the Bass Centre many years ago. He was incredibly affable and clearly loved to rocking over all over the world with Quo. As he seemed to be a bit of a gear geek (as most of us in this parish are), I reckon the gear shifting may sadly have something to do with..... + -

Jason 'Could've had his Bass Louder' Newsted employed a novel philosophy to support his wearing of Metallica T-Shirts onstage during his time with the band. https://blabbermouth.net/news/jason-newsted-why-i-always-wore-metallica-t-shirts-onstage-during-my-time-with-the-band -

Hohner TWP600B. Edit: It's sold. Gone to a new owner. And, perhaps, may one day may even deliver the bass-line to Anchored Down in Anchorage. It's a 34" Scale slice of Hohner goodness in a fetching shade of Pumpkin Burst. These Hohner Basses were made from 1992-1996 and pack a lot of low-end oomph for your buck/dollar/pound/'add currency here' and size. It features a built-in 3 band EQ and a plectrum-shaped sound hole to assist you in sculpting your very own sonic signature. Yes, I said sonic signature. Deal with it. This very model was used by Michelle Shocked's bassist in the 1990s. Yes, Michelle 'Anchored Down in Anchorage' Shocked. She looked like a person who cared about the low end of her tracks. And so should you. #bemoremichelleshocked The neck is straight. Fretwear is minimal. The only item worth mentioning is that one of the 'sleeves' on D String Machinehead is missing. Does this affect playability? No. Does it give off an image of 'yes, mate, this instrument has seen a bit of action'? Yes. And, in your hands, it may see even more action. There are musicians out there who crave relicing. If you see this missing sleeve as a reward of time, I will have given you an extra desirable feature by default. You should thank me for this. The electronics work as they should. It sounds like a bass. Which is quite remarkable, really. Well, it isn't remarkable at all because this IS a bass. But, alas, this IS the description section for this instrument and you ARE still reading this. Which means you may need to have a word with yourself. Features the legendary CPA-200 preamp. The first preamp to be endorsed by accountants (CPA stands for Certified Public Accountant) in North America. Ok, this is a total and utter fabrication but the preamp IS genuinely flexible and you can adjust your aforementioned sonic signature on the fly (or any other insect of your choosing). To my eyes, this oozes a bit of Gretsch-cool. And, with its Teutonic lineage, it's hardly surprising. This particular model was designed in Germany and lovingly built in Korea. Comes with a gig bag (non-original) and my eternal love.

Edit: It's been sold. It’s in TV Yellow. It's an Antoria. 30" Scale. Weighs 3.5 kg. The body is made of solid mahogany. I've replaced the vile stock bridge with a Gotoh unit that came off a 1980s Fender Jazz Bass Special (a Boxer model). The original knobs were replaced with Black Gretsch-style units that look rather dapper. No issues. Plays beautifully.

Trade my Labella Deep Talking 760M (James Jamerson) Flats for your Labella 760FS Set? My Labella Deep Talking Flats 760M (52-110) were installed on my G&L Bass but my neck wasn't loving them. They sounded great and the set has been broken in for a few months. To say they sound thumpingly brilliant would be an understatement. But I need something with less tension. If you've got a Labella 760FS set of flats and fancy summoning your inner-Jamerson, let's talk.

They're EMGs. They're the latest X-Series (more headroom/more dynamic/less sterile). They've got actual dust from music venues on them. And they come in a shade of black that's called Santa Rosa Ebony. Ok, this last bit is a lie. But, for reasons you can't work out, you're still reading this advert. You've only got yourself to blame. Back to the pickups. Rather than go into a rabbit hole via our North American cousins at TalkBass, have a gander at this chap using (and comparing) these pickups: With his dry delivery and 'just crawled out from under a rock' complexion, there's something slightly British about Rodney McG. Enjoy the clips. Blah blah blah blah....these are being sold for £50. It'll be about a fiver for postage in Blighty. A bargain. Genuinely. This sale is for the pickups only. I'm not a pot dealer in this instance (and that's short for 'potentiometer'). Note: If you have an 'original recipe' PJ set in situ on your bass, you'll need to purchase a active tone pot to get these bad boys to work. These pickups work. They sound great. And if you find them too bright you can, dog forbid, turn the tone knob down a bit for a more passive 'vibe'. Yes, I said vibe. It's how I roll. Ultimately, t's better to have highs on tap and be able to tame them than to tweak something that isn't there to begin with.

Verb is the very definition of a 'friend in need is a friend indeed'. I found myself in a bit of a pickup installation-related pickle and desperately needed an EMG Solderless Battery Clip. Verb came to my rescue. And he did it for (dramatic pause) free. This man deserves karma credit aplenty. A big thumbs up from me.

Update: My thumb is still intact. The amp is back from the dead. And I am indebted to my BassChatter brethren and sistren for the support, love and good humour.

I was doing an outdoor gig with power surges. In addition, this late 1990s amp was still rocking (and then NOT rocking) its original fuse.

Success!!!

Thanks everyone for being so helpful and nice about this. I have my flathead screwdriver and (dramatic pause) I'm going in.
