Thanks for the info guy, it's the one on the bass direct site with all the detailed pics.

Hi Chiliwailer, Logo and neck is original, did see a tiny piece of laquer wear on fretboard under E - String (Rosewood board) so not sure if they were laquered in this period? Necks dated, no date on pickup so not sure if original? Pickguard, bridge and tuners are original? Asking price is £2500

Thanks for the help guys, bought a Aguilar Th500 and possibly buy a pair of Svt410he cabs and it sounded great through one.

Just seen and played a 1966 Fender Precision Bass which I liked however its not completely original. Its been refinished which is a great job and re-reliced but the pots, knobs and wiring have been replaced. It does however have the original ashtray covers and hardcase. How much should one pay for these and what else should I look out for? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions guys, Bass direct was great and the guys were excellent and very helpful. I'm now a proud owner of a Aguilar TH500

Cheers, now en route to Bass direct.

Thanks The Greek, the only Bass I'm after is a Nate Mendel signature. I'm more after a selection. Of Bass heads and cabs I can try out in different combinations

Hi guys, are there any good Bass/bass amplification shops near Stamford that I can go and try gear out at on Saturday? Thanks muchly

Would a orange Bass terror be suitable? Going to try a tone hammer and pf800 this weekend

I've been asked to join a foo fighters tribute band after passing the audition. Currently I don't have a rig...easy I hear you say, buy an ashdown as that's what Nate Mendel uses...however I don't find they compliment my playing or sound. So can anyone suggest an alternative head I can try to achieve that foos sound/tone? Cab wise I'm looking at trying ashdown, its just the heads I can't get on with.

Great news so far, I passes the audition and have been asked to join which is awesome! Just waiting on the Job promotion front...

Fingers crossed for you, in regards to the job you want 😊

Currently waiting to hear back from an audition and also a job interview I attended this month. I feel like a kid on Christmas day but before opening the presents filled with apprehension and excitement not knowing. If all goes well this could be a great start to the year. Anyone else in the same circumstances?

Bloody good fun to play though, sometimes the best bass lines are subtle :-)

Hi guys I'm after a new rig, I'm considering either the Bugera BVP5000 (Svt 3) clone or the Markbass lm250 head. I'll be looking to run it through 2 Ashdown 1x15 cabs. Soundwise I'm after a foo fighters esq sound, I would go for an Ashdown head but find they don't work for me very well or compliment my style. Thanks in advance.

Ok cool, I'm based in Stamford so Leicester isn't miles away and is very much doable. What do you guys need to know?

Where do you guys meet to rehearse?

Whereabouts in the Midlands?

For me it'd have to be: Karl Alvarez (The Descendants/All) Scot Shiflet (Face to Face) Matt Riddle (No use for a name) Bruce Foxton (The Jam) Jason Black (Hot Water Music) Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio)

I'm looking at getting either the nuke (svt 4 clone) or the bvt5500 (svt 3 clone) and wanted to know if anyone had first hand experience of them? Cheers

Pm sent

I've had ashdown before and found them to be quite lacking (something) missing. Other people can make them sound great but I can't quite get what I want from it.

I've been looking for a while and pondering on what to get. I'm thinking along the lines of an svt 3 or a pf which is lighter but then there is the tc electronic bh series. Oh what to do.... I'm currently playing a mim 70s jazz bass and music wise I like rock/punk rock and classic rock if that helps? And for my sins I'm also a pick player too
