    Yes I'm not sure how much better (if any) it could be especially at neighbour friendly volume.

    I did wonder about pairing it with a more expensive cab - but so far have managed to resist the temptation !

    The LB30 is a phenomenal head - I'm far from being an Ashdown fanboy (as you may have seen from my B- Social comments - and I hated the CTM-15 too ! ) but a friend was selling one and I couldn't resist it. I've got it teamed up with an Ashdown VS115 and every bass you put through it sounds amazing - not many bass purchases are keepers but the LB30 definitely is. I couldn't recommend it more highly as a home amp. Here it is with some acoustic loveliness :

    I couldn't wait to try one being a big SR fan but thought it was complete rubbish, Looked great but felt and sounded really cheap and nasty. I danced all the way back to the hanger to get rid of it. So disappointed.

    Any marks or blemishes and is the tigger a sticker or under the lacquer ?

    Maybe they were trying to list it as hideous precision bass but autocorrect took over.

    Maruszczyk Jazzus 4a Custom in mint condition with gig bag. One of the best (if not the best) bass I've owned but need cash for other projects. Spec as per the video of the actual bass below. Collection from Liverpool preferred but happy for you to arrange a courier at your risk and expense

The gator hardcase makes it a hefty beast ! Generic pictures above - I can add more on request, but it looks even cooler with the copper cores of the white nylon strings. The cheapest I can find a new one for is £1700 and they are more expensive elsewhere and that's without the hardcase, so in as new condition it is a good saving !

    Really glad it arrived safely and was as good in the flesh as it looks in the pictures. Enjoy !!!!!

    I was just noodling on Amazon looking for sale bargains and came across the Ortega for £202 in the outlet. I didn't know much about the brand, but knew they were generally more expensive than this. A quick google later and I'd established it was less than half price and as it was the last one pulled the trigger. The box it arrived in was tiny but inside was the bass in its own quality gig bag. At a scale length of 24.6" I knew it would be small but it is absolutely tiny as can be seen against a conventional Ibanez acoustic. It was wildly out of tune and the machine heads were really loose, I tightened them up and began to play - something was banging against the body inside. I loosened the strings and found the battery box and volume control were just hanging loose inside the body. Some new sticky pads later and problem solved. The strings took some getting used to - they are silver plated copper wound on nylon silk - they are lovely to play, but it is extremely easy to bend a note out of tune. Acoustically , as would be expected, the bass is quiet - but perfect volume for a travel bass or just noodling unplugged on the couch. The low end is nothing like the Ibanez, but perfectly reasonable for what it is and through the Ashdown with a B3N I can get some really lovely tones out of it. For what I paid for it - I think it is excellent value even given the minor required fixes , at double I wouldn't be so sure - but will definitely be keeping an eye on Amazon outlet in future.

    The famous band member who owned it needs a new guitar tech !

    Nice the way the E string hangs off the fretboard at the bridge end then curves back in to meet the nut. Great design if you've always wanted to control the volume with your armpit . Currently 4 bids !

    That's lovely - GLWTS.
