  1. Thank you for the information! Yeh, in all honesty, the finish is my least favourite part, though the grain on mine seems to be attractive. I do want to get my bass refinished in my favourite paint job though, maybe I'll do that one day!
  2. After the great cull of yesteryear where I was forced to sell some of my beloved and prized instruments, I tried to find a solid bargain on the 5 string front. Shopping list: An insane B string, 35" scale. close string spacing, quality neck through, light weight, well balanced... eveything you can't get on a £250 bass together! Well, so I thought. It took a little (nerd level) investigation to find an instrument that had been staring me in the face for over 20? years. The Peavey Cirrus is a bangin' bass! I'd love a USA model but I picked up a (specifically) Indonesian made BXP from, hmm, 2000's? It seems to be an unusually good example, very light and well looked after. A secondhand eBay 'sight unseen' purchase that I wondered if I may regret but lucked out; ended up talking tech metal and prog with the seller for a day or so after! Nice guy!! The only thing I have done with it so far is to ditch the standard tuners and drop in a set of absolutely amazing Gotoh GB350 ResOLites. The VFL pickups can stay, but I think the preamp will have to go. I recently reviewed the Barefaced Big Twin III with it (video on it's way soon!!) and the sounds is fantastic. Maybe I just lucked out on a really good example. I then picked up another to use as a spare for gigs which, although another Indonesian, isn't the same. Its heavier and has a chunkier neck. Still worth the silly money for what is otherwise a cracking deal.
  3. Definitely in my top ten amps that one. Congrats!
  4. Thank you!! Can't complain at that price!
  5. Have a scroll through my YouTube playlist of my video reviews, there's a few amps in there! I also need to update this basschat thread with list of all of my reviews. From memory I have video reviewed EBS, Ampeg, Genzler, Aguilar, Peavey, Trace Elliot, TC Electronic, EA, Ashdown, Orange.. probably plenty more ha ha!!
  6. And I've just seen a 752 for sale too!
  7. I haven't had the pelasure of one of tehse yet. Would love to hear opinions on the 'response' control and how low the ocatve tracks.
  8. If you like the clean punch of the EBS gear (I do) - there's a Reidmar 750 in the For Sale section. A very worthy beast that stays clean way past annoying the guitarists, but has a drive section on board should you wish to add a hair of grit. Compressor and pre-shape for a wide range of tones.
  9. Sorry for the delay in that! I have the bass here, but I've been snowed under with other reviews and poor health. I'm really looking forward to doing this one, it's certainly going to look bangin' in glorious 4K! - It's only a shame that YouTube compresses the poop out of my original footage which looks even better! I'll keep you all posted! I have some super nice gear lined up for upcoming reviews! I love this job SO much!!!! Dan
  10. I've had a flawless and very pleasant sale interaction with Ru. An absolute gentleman who has taken safe delivery of his new cabinets. Cheers @Ruairidh! Best wishes! Dan
  11. Don’t put it on a ship to save money. You’ll receive a banana instead.
  12. Absolutely there were non-mass produced 5 strings (and six - Anthony Jackson's 1975 Carl Thompson made Contrabass for example)) available before the Yamaha. The Overwater would have been a super nice bass as they are today, did you keep any pictures of it?
  13. The first commercially available (mass produced) five string came out in 1984. The Yamaha BB5000. Nathan East was seen everywhere with his white one and I think Pino used one too. I've always wanted one as they had a really close string spacing.
  14. Same here, I used to use an MXR M80 with a Sansamp. blended together with an SFX Blender. Blending the two different flavours of drive worked nicely!
  15. Sale Pending to @Ruairidh 😊
  16. Bergantino Audio HD112 Speaker Cabinets HD112 ‘High-Definition’ 1-12” & Tweeter Bass Guitar Loudspeaker For Bergantino Audio it all starts with the High-Definition HD series of bass guitar speaker cabinets. The cabinetry on the HD series employs a precision tuned cabinet architecture and the enclosures are built with the finest 100% Baltic birch plywood available. The HD series are covered in traditional tolex for durability (no more carpet fuzz for your cat to claw) and they all employ a rigid black grille to protect the drivers. The internal components used are extremely high quality and they are of Bergantino design. No ‘off-the-shelf ’ parts are used. Woofers have ceramic magnets w/ vented pole pieces and the low-end on this series of cabinets is full and round – they can handle high power output from your amplifier. The HD series have remained a favourite of finger style and pick players because of the tight-creamy low end found with these cabinets. Each of the HD series cabinets has a high intelligibility tweeter mated to the woofers through a custom designed phase-coherent crossover with a tweeter control. Bergantino HD series cabinets are not as heavy as some of the other cabinets available but will produce a more accurate, full-bodied and authentic representation of your bass guitar in live and studio settings. • Woofer: 1-12” Ceramic Magnet Woofer w/ Vented Pole Pieces • Tweeter: High Intelligibility HD Series Tweeter • Cabinet Design: Ported • Cabinet Material: Baltic Birch Plywood • Cabinet Covering: Black Tolex • Impedance: 8-ohms • Power Handling: 350W RMS • Crossover: Custom Phase-Coherent Crossover w/ Tweeter Control • Frequency Response: 40hZ – 12KhZ • Sensitivity: 98db @ 2.83v / 1-meter • Dimensions: 16-1/4”H x 18-1/2”W x 15”D • Weight: 44 Lbs. Two very well-looked-after top-tier bass cabinets from a premier bass gear company. These have always been stored indoors in a smoke-free home. Collection preferred and recommended. I'm not sure if I have boxes for both yet I will have to check, if however you wish to ship, I will let you arrange the collection and therefore your own insurance and tracking. Payment via Bank Transfer. £440 EACH.
