    Haven't used these gigging or recording in the last year and no immediate prospect of doing so either - so may as well move them on. One Control Sonic Silver Peg - tiny, Ampeggy sounds, bought a month or two back on the forum but my Sansamp covers this - has box and velcro under pedal - £80 posted *SOLD* MXR M82 envelope filter - bought a year ago from ped on the forum - nice sparkles in the aubergine-coloured finish - box, no velcro - £80 posted *SOLD* TC Spectracomp - never used, just inspected, so totally as new - box, no velcro - £50 posted *SOLD* TC Mojomojo overdrive - owned for a couple of years, never gigged so in vgc - box, no velcro - £30 posted Pics to follow

    Someone needs to go to SpecSavers! But seriously, I blow with the wind from one day to the next as to which I prefer. Anyone want to make me a very near offer on either bass?

    In terms of pricing, Ashdown website is (almost) always more expensive than retailers (eg ABM 600 is £100 more on Ashdown site), so presumably this new amp will be available for closer to £1300 (still a lot of moolah, granted). What I don't understand is how they decide on retailers. The ABM 600 for example is available at PMT, Bax Shop and out of stock at some others (Andertons, Mansons). The newish Guy Pratt sig amp, the Interstellar 600, by contrast is only available through Ashdown (£1,299) or Bax Shop (£1,065).

    Very near offer on the jetglo 4003S, as I don't especially want to sell it on eBay?

    Steve bought a rather nice gigbag from me and was splendid throughout, including being chilled about ParcelForce's attempts to blow the box apart with a neutron bomb

    Ahhhh, Mrs C saw Grace Jones at RFH!
  7. Clarky
    I am guessing Mrs C went to the same concert last night (she is a Slave to the Rhythm) and said to me on her return that the sound was pretty poor at times with overly loud drums (especially) and bass. You were not alone in your observations

    I think he has more than 1 headless Status, according to Wiki. Maybe releasing some cash? Think Quo are supposed to be touring this year?? Maybe he is just thick-skinned?

    Thanks all, if I did go ahead with this route (and I would still prefer to track down a Handbox WB-100, which renders the question obsolete), my cab is a Barefaced Supertwin (2x12", relatively uncoloured)

    You know where I am going with this Jack! Owner of relatively lightweight Matamp GT100 .... in case I cannot get the Handbox valve beastie!
  12. Clarky
    Looking at old valve amps, I noticed that 'traditional' 60/70s based ones like Matamp have no DI out. Obviously you could mic the cab but is there a way (pedal, I assume, between amp and cab) to create a DI out for front of house? Not that I have a valve amp but am just pondering ... I have been after a Handbox WB-100 but can't track one down and its unclear when they will begin manufacturing them again.

    Details on 4003S (£1600 plus delivery): Bought new from BassDirect in January 2022, its a 2021 edition 4003S (meaning vintage style knobs and unvarnished fretboard) in good condition jetglo. If I am being picky there are a couple of tiny, shallow indentations/blips in the finish and the black Rickenbacker logo on TRC has slightly rubbed off (from when I removed it to adjust truss rods), otherwise it looks great. Also, for full disclosure, the jack socket is quite tight so the bass lead needs to be pushed in quite hard to 'click' or remove (simple 2 minute fix to ease spring for those who are inclined, I couldn't be bothered as it works fine and actually made me feel more secure when playing.) Weighs 4.2kg/9.4 pounds Will be sold with original hard shell case and fitted Rickysounds pickup surround bezel (£45) - the chrome pickup cover is safe in the case. Pics show befire and after bezel fitting. £1,600 collected from SW13 or UPS delivery at cost (£25-30?). UK only

    Having dealt with Harry before (top BCer), I believe he is in Margate,Kent

    TBF, I couldn't even get close - even with a fretted bass

    @glenbass1this looks like it would be worth stretching your budget for!

    Oh THAT Maria
  18. Clarky
    Having created the single most boring thread ever on BassChat with a reply count that didn't trouble the scorer (can I get a badge @ped?) I can confirm that they are very old Fat Beams, probably from the early 2000s. There is no date but a stamp referring to a mysterious Maria. Altogether "Maria, say it loud and there's music playing! Say it soft and it's almost like praying. Maria, I'll never stop saying Maria."

    Nice routing for the neck pickup ...😬

    One of my two Ricks has to go. Its a really close call as to which I would prefer to keep between this and my 2021 jetglo 4003S (worth maybe £1650-1700), so if anyone is after the latter I might sell that instead and keep the fireglo 4003. Here is me playing the jetglo 4003S.

    Lovely bass which hopefully someone will snap up at this price. Not me, I'm afraid, as I need to move on one of my 2 Ricks GLWYS!

    The singer/frontman in my band was also a bassist in the past (at least 10 years ago). He was having a studio clearout and found these unopened DR "Marcus" 40-100 strings which he has kindly sent my way. Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to roughly how old these are, and whether they are SS or nickel? Intriguingly Google Images does not come up with a single picture matching this design, making me suspect they're 20+ years old. And yes I could open them but thats not so much fun!
  23. Clarky
    You have obviously listened to a LOT better pub covers bands than I have ever seen!

    This looks like the entry in the Wal bass directory, although I could be wrong (tarnishing to knob - oo err missus - suggests its one and the same bass) https://www.nedcom.nl/WAL/view.php?id=PBxxxx GLWYS Martin!

    If I wasnt such a dope with practical stuff, maybe that would be an option. I have tracked down a US alternative but need to price it up with delivery and import duties etc
