    Just mail order, I'm pretty sure. There's really not much call for a huge bass supplier in Bagshot. Mind you, I believe there's an outfit in Twyford so what do I know?

    They haven't been made (by the original manufacturer, SGC Nanyo) for many years, so there's not really a retail price to quote. Back in the 90's the SB310 would have sold for £400 - £600 depending on exactly where and when you were buying. In the current market, an SB310 in good nick is worth (IMHO) maybe £150 - £200. YMMV.

    Yes, but apart from that ...

    [quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1398242826' post='2431905'] I like that at lot! His version of Rock 'n' Roll on a ContraBass is pretty awesome too - clearly a chap who enjoys his playing. [/quote] I had a grin from ear to ear for the whole track.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1398265137' post='2432224'] Apparently there are those who think Lakland (Lake-land) is Lak-land. But it's not. [/quote] Unless you're buying kitchen goods, of course.

    +1 to the GK MB500. Leave the controls flat (or flat to your own ears, anyway) and just use it for the power section. If something elsewhere in your signal chain goes belly-up at a gig, you may find that having a complete, good-quality, tiny head is a boon.

    Another great band name ... The Special Tools.

    Hmmmm ... I doubt it Mick. 4-string fretless Wals struggle to top £2000 at the moment. That's lovely enough that it might make £2500 but I'd be very surprised to see it break through the £3000 barrier.

    I love that stand though ...

    [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1398182285' post='2431302'] "hefty weight with a quite thick neck" [/quote] The glue used in that laminate, on its own, probably weighs more than my main bass ...

    Looks like a particularly fine example.

    [quote name='Bolo' timestamp='1398201520' post='2431697'] After the fish [/quote] Were they prog rock?

    I like the look of that - I may not need it this week or next, but when my back chooses to go out again ... USA, Canada and Japan. Wonder why no European distribution? Also, the reviews are all from 2000. Can you tell whether the website is up to date?
  18. Happy Jack
    Yes, I thought I'd seen your name before ... but you have "8 posts" listed under your avatar! Good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='blitz' timestamp='1398177884' post='2431227'] Nice work. All good advice. We've tried most of those things with various degrees of success - all worth trying. [/quote] +1 My main band (The Junkyard Dogs) is lucky enough to have Bluejay doing this stuff for us.

    Johannes, this is none of my business but if you want to sell a £1000 amp then you really need to do more than this. Your photo link goes to a single, very bad, very blurred photo. You give no details of what this amp is, how powerful it is, what the controls do, even how big it is. If you want to sell on a (mainly) British website then you should offer a quote for delivery to Britain. Remember that we know nothing about you at all except your posts on this For Sale topic. You haven't been here long enough to make friends on Basschat, so you need to work a bit harder if you want to sell this amp. I'm trying to be helpful. mfg

    You can't put us off the scent that easily, Bilbo.

    [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1398171640' post='2431129'] I once knew someone who called Kawasaki motobikes 'kawass-acki' (if that meakes sense - difficult to write it down!) [/quote] Everyone knows that's pronounced "Kwacker".

    Whilst fully agreeing with both Mark and Rob, it all comes down to context. If you're doing this for fun, then walk away and find some more like-minded musicians. If this band is important to you though, it has to be worth saying "Let's go down the pub and have a chat about this".

    Arsene knows ...

    Joe, you don't play the type of music I usually listen to, but I really loved Snake Funk. I may have to try and steal some of your licks. Trouble is, I'm not good enough.
