  1. I bought this from @walshy a few months back and its a stunner looks wise. I am not so comfortable with the right hand ergonomics though (not supposed to anchor thumb on single coil pickup and I play mainly finger style) as I found out at a gig a couple of weeks back. Plus I need to raise some funds - so no trades, sorry. Weighs about 7.6 pounds, great condition (just a couple of minor indentations in paintwork, done before my ownership), and has Lull soft gig bag. Edit: now wearing brand new La Bella Low Tension Flats, so its super slick and errrrr low tension (!) across the fretboard. Pickup London SW13 or post within UK at cost (about £25-30) via UPS. Has changed hands on BC before. Here is busccini's ad with more pics.
  2. Mulling over keeping this for those rare occasions where you need to bring a bass head (eg, at Fighting C*cks in Kingston, which has a bass cab only in situ). So if you want this, get in quick!
  3. There's a suspiciously cheap new OBC112 on eBay (£285). Not sure I trust seller which has some positive feedback but only as a buyer yet sounds like a business? Anyhow, someone might fancy the gamble (has eBay money back guarantee) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313953081226?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0lixvzoptsy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=eqlPJw_SSty&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  4. Terrific handiwork and a true bargain for someone!!!!
  5. I would recommend putting up a link (Youtube or music link) so peeps here can get an idea of what they would be looking at having to learn
  6. Post included if bought this weekend as I already have UPS coming to collect another item on Tuesday morning
  7. It also depends on context. The audience at the Dog and Duck couldn't give a rat's @ss about the low mids vs high mids balance of your bass and amp (and will generally yell for Sex on Fire or Don't look back in anger) whereas if you are playing originals in big venues with a dedicated fan base your tone matters more. Speaking as a Dog and Duck man 😀
  8. Horses for courses. I have a particular bass as my wife likes the colour. I have another bass (clue: R*ck) which I am persisting with as it looks cool AF but know deep down will not last. There's an indefinable personal aspect to what makes you feel good. That may be a cheapo Squier, it may be an uber-expensive Alembic, or something in between.
  9. Just bought a MarkBass combo off Rory. Great condition, superbly packed and he was kind enough to throw in some spare corner protectors. Super deal. Many thanks!
  10. Erm, just checked previous sale prices and I guess I was being a bit optimistic. Now £515 posted in UK, or £500 collected. But won't be going lower
  11. Christian bought an Orange TB amp from me. The whole process was easy, friendly and faultless. Cheers!
  12. I just checked postage with UPS and its £15 for economy delivery. I would swallow that if bought in next couple of days as I have a UPS delivery arriving Tuesday morning and it would save me waiting in twice! So £550 including delivery 😀
  13. I now have a box so can arrange delivery at cost (through Interparcel/UPS). Also here are some better pics. Just noticed for full disclosure that the rubber feet of my Orange amp have left slight marks on top. Hard to see how that could be avoided as pretty much all amps have rubber feet!
  14. Additional tenner discount to you Duncan due to your immensely helpful advice for me when I needed to park centrally in Brizzle. Interested?
  15. Thats especially sad about CM, too young. I remember being blown away by his technical abilities when I was buying a Kolstein Busetto bass.
  16. Call it a tenner for post within the UK, so £335 posted. Only £100 more than a VT Bass DI pedal and you get a 500W power amp bolted on. What's not to like?
  17. Bought recently on the forum as a backup to my Orange TB500 ... but then had a change of heart and am moving to a combo setup as my main gigging rig. Like the (already sold) Orange amp, I am therefore moving this on. Very good condition, basically a VT Bass pedal added to a 500W power amp. £300 collected from SW13 or add post at cost (UK only). No case/gigbag but will be well packed if posted - also does not have power cable (aka kettle lead) as it did not come with one when I bought it.
  18. Hey Woody1957, I have had a question from a potentially interested party about how loud this combination goes as the V2 Orange TB is 250W at 8 ohms (apparently it used to be 500W at both 8 and 4 ohms). I haven't used the BareFaced SC outside home so never pushed it, so can I ask you how loud this rig goes? Ta!
  19. In answer to your question, I CBA with separates. Getting a MarkBass 500W combo (Alain Caron Lite) for simple load ins and exits plus as much power as I am ever likely to need.
