In 2002, probably The Police, my dad is a big fan and we always had great music playing at home. Thinking about it though, not a lot has changed. Of my absolute favourites, I reckon about 5 or 6 or my top ten are the same now as they were then.

None of the usual suspects here:
That's a DIY 650 watt head on an Audiokinesis Thunderchild TC112AF cab. These days I am mostly playing big band jazz shows on my BSX electric upright, or occasionally on my Crescent Moon fretless:

Very cool. How did you build the amp? Is it your own design?
Nice, I wanted a Sterling once and ended up with a Stingray 4 as it was a great price. It was probably one of the nicest, easy to play basses I've owned. I only sold it as it presented a chance to sell for a profit but I'd love a 5 string at some point.

The Overwater J's sound very, very good but they all seem to be on the heavy side (around 10lbs to 12lbs on their website) so, sadly, I'll never own one.

It's a shame, but that's what ruled them out for me too.
Martin bought my amp in what was another easy BC transaction from a great BC'er.
Paid straight away and great comms throughout.
Thans again.
Deal with confidence here 😊
Just had a look at the Facebook page. They are beautiful instruments. Nice to see another builder that is truly passionate about building the best without compromise. It'd be nice if magnetic cavity cover were more common too!
A cheaper line would be very cool if they could compete with the 2-2.5k market it would be interesting.
Cool. I've only seen the YouTube vids but they look like fantastic basses. The Paul Turner one is great, what a day that must have been! Out of interests sake, what would one cost you or me?
Sadowsky J5 > Tecamp Puma > Vanderkley 212MNT. Soon to be adding a new amp, probably a Glockenklang at this point. Super clean, powerful and a solid bass for whatever gig I'm on.
I had one and used it with a 102p. It did it's job brilliantly and really helped me and my bandmates to hear my bass.
But, it's a pain't that your amp can't really sit on your cab with it; unless you knock some sort of shelf thing up to secure it. Also; it is expensive for what is probably a fivers worth of material.
The MONO looks great and not many people have anything negative to say. The thing that puts me off is the few cases of nitro finished necks being stained by their Headlock (I think that's what they call it) system.
I'm surprised Fusion have the F1 for £100 because it has long been discontinued, unless they found some old stock in the factory.
I had its replacement, the Urban, and everything about it was brilliant. Shouldn't have sold it and will likely get another at some point.
It is what it is. I wouldn't listen to it either, just as I don't listen to classical or death metal. But, fair play to a man that has made a hugely successful career playing bass. Seems stupid to ask questions of him. I don't know his music at all, other than seeing a YouTube video of him playing a Stevie tune. But, i did see a snippet of a Scott Divine video the other day where VW was saying that he loves to just groove but doesn't really get the offers as people know him as a soloist.
The usual: hot and sweaty cocktail bar.
the unusual: 'mod' weekend on the Isle of Wight, meaning there were 5000 or so scooterists in the space of a square mile, so it was absolutely heaving.
Also, I borrowed a Roland Bass Cube 100 as there was no parking and I had a bit of a walk. I'm really impressed by it, no PA support, volume on half and it filled a decent size room. It was a loud gig too.
£50 for the T-Rex and £30 for the Pedaltrain if sold separately. Both in great condition, only letting them go as I want the money for something else.

Price includes UK postage. It's almost new, only had it a little over a month and it was brand new from Andertons. Only selling as I could do with the money for something else. It's a great compressor, the most transparent I've used. Very easy to set and does everything from 1:1 to hard limiting.
