SX do a very nice looking 30” P bass copy. Looks the part but can’t comment on the sound or quality of them. -

You know, when you said you needed a red bass, I wondered… but now I get it completely 😅 Looks great 👌 -

Any big ‘Cure’ fans here… We’ve got to perform ‘Mint Car’ as a first dance in a few weeks. Just going over the lyrics in the background to get them good and familiar… After the first chorus, there’s a random bit of vocal ‘waffle’. Google tells me he says ‘Slinky as raccoons in the roof’ Can anyone confirm this? I’ll be honest, i probably won’t sing that bit anyway, but, surely, just surely, it can’t actually say that can it? 😅

Missed out on one of these on EBay a few months ago. Stunning looking instruments. Congrats!

These look really nice! Nice unique shape too. Have no doubt that they’ll play lovely too If their Jet basses are anything to go by!

I’ve re-listed this with a price increase due to fix the majority of the issues with it. So… A friend messaged as soon as I posted it last time saying he wanted to buy it. Long story short he messed me around for a couple of weeks and never ended up actually buying it. So, I decided to keep hold of it and get it cleaned up. I took it to my local tech who contact cleaned it and added a new power input jack so all of the crackling has gone. But, he said it needs a new foot switch and it sometimes doesn’t fully engage when pressed the first time. As I was only using it at home I didn’t bother spending more on the switch as he charged me £30 for the clean up and new input. But I’m just not using it so decided to re list it. It was £80 last time so was going to re list at £105 inc postage in order to to get a little back from the clean up spend. Here’s a video of it showing the intermittent footswitch. He said it’s a fairly simple fix, I just didn’t want to spend any more of it at that point. The original listing below… 100% on how to price this but… It’s in desperate need of a service and needs the power connection replacing as it’s a bit loose. Note - this was converted to be powered only years ago and no longer runs on batteries. They go anywhere between £160-£200 brand new with box etc in a good condition. Which, this is not. It was bought for me as a Christmas present in about 2003/4 (Imagine my parents face when they read ‘Russian big muff’ on my Xmas list 😂) Used solidly for about 8 years and has signs of such use including remnants of the gaffer tape I used to use to hold the position of the knobs. It’s sat in storage since about 2011. So, I’m going to put it up at £80 which is half of the cheapest perfect condition, working price I’ve seen. But, I’m not trying to rip anyone off so open to offers on this and wouldn’t write off trades for preamps, Chorus or compression pedals, or cases for short scales. +£5 postage to mainland UK https://youtube.com/shorts/jxTjulbQicg?si=duFNeNoyczDZiy5Q

Another cracking weekend of weddings for us just gone. All complimented by a daytime and early set yesterday which meant I was home by 9.30pm Only downside is some idiot decided to try and balance a pint on a speaker on Friday nights Which of course didn’t end well. Seemed to continue to work for the remainder of the night. But we didn’t need both yesterday so I’ll dig it out this week and check it over before next weekend. People.

Sold a pedal to Rick. Super easy and friendly to deal with. Pleasure, thanks Rick. Enjoy!

Yeah I looked at the POD they do look very good! I just wanted more tweak ability. Thanks, had a triple gig weekend, and the B6 did not disappoint at all! Really impressed with the IR’s already on it! As it’s quite big I think the only downside is I’ll probably need something different for fly gigs but I’m thinking of grabbing an ms60b+ for the handful of those we have as I could stuff that into a pair of shoes in my case!

If it’s just the pickup config you wanted I’d go for one of these… Fancied one for quite a while but always talk myself out of it… https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-tc30-thundercaster-bass-30-short-scale-dark-grey-flame-top/ -
Thanks everyone for their help. I’ve ordered a B6 which should land today. Decided to stick with Zoom as i know the brand and looking at videos, It seems to do everything and more that i need. Also, the fact that it has a colour screen for the tuner was a big winner for me. I’m often tuning while singing the first verse of a song so rely on the colours rather than the actual screen. But, we’ll see. There’s a Stomp for sale in my local 2nd hand shop, so if the B6 doesn’t impress, I’ll give that a whirl. Thanks again all. Alex
