Lakland 44-64 on sale. Good deal for someone.
Raslee replied to Bobby D's topic in General Discussion
I have a 44-64, not one from the GuitarGuitar deal, a white and tort/rosewood with blocks......absolute Fender killer IMO... love mine 😉 -
Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2018?
Raslee replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best purchase was recently on here, 2013 Musicman Sabre Classic. Always wanted a bit more versatility than the Stingray and this has it in bucket load and it is totally sexy too....love it! Worst purchase, box of plectrums....I’ve tried & tried but I just can’t get on with a pick for sh*t...25 years of fingers is too established. -
Check out a MM Sabre Classic...best of all worlds 😎

With extension cab. Very loud on it's own though too.

Finally did a rehearsal with it, very impressed and great tone

lightweight combo, tilted, recommendations?
Raslee replied to skidder652003's topic in Amps and Cabs
Behold, £14 Stagg amp stand and Fender Stage Rumble 800....it can indeed be tilted, just a pain to get to the controls if not already preset...but easily rectified using presets via the accompanying footswitch 😜 -

Yes Tim t'is lovely mate. I keep considering withdrawing as it's one of those basses that's worth more to keep than it is to sell if you know what i mean, i absolutely love the neck and the low action available. It's outlasted several basses i've owned due it's shear quality build and comfortable playability but i now find myself using a Sabre or Warwick which suits the music that i'm currently doing better. I won't be upset if it doesn't sell though and I don't really need to sell it now that I've sold 2 of the above 3 but it will make someone very happy for the price...... and well i fancy a change -
I've got a Stage 800 and i think it's bl**dy marvelous for the money, admittedly still in the honeymoon period 3 weeks in but i'm liking the bells & whistles a lot. Great digital convenience and decent tones available and fairly easy to use once you've done the manual - if you've got a smart phone you'll love it as you can make amp patches up on your phone to try out. Still yet to gig it but it's on the cards....unbelievably my Genzler Magellan aka simply the best amp known to humankind has quietly taken a back seat for now. Here was my first impressions

Many thanks. Forgot to add this is a light Musician by comparison to others I've played, about the same as a typical MM Stingray, only 10.4lbs on decent digital scales. Last 20hrs on eBay folks for the Ibby Musician - if your considering it send me a PM, it's a beautiful player Also by request are some pics of the VanderEnd showing the 'under the hood' past mods (not me I hasten to add). Just bloody cracked the P pickguard too in taking it off 😭 but it's still perfectly functional. Will knock some £'s off off for this and it's easy enough to get another made if necessary. It's had a hard life of electrical mods this bass but it's a cracking high end bass, leagues ahead of Fenders and sounds and plays superb. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0gGnbeumGvkIki -
Hopefully not, but it is like having a computer in your amp - surprisingly easy though to get to grips with. Very impressed with mine so far and am using it in a rock/grunge band. Bought a £13 Stagg amp stand and it’s a perfect tilt now. The Fender 800 is not for the faint hearted but it’s a very rewarding journey and well worth it once you take the plunge.

Ibanez now on Evilbay - get in quick if you want it - will do £650 posted to B/Cers Am also now considering trades on my Vander End as i fancy a change, in particular I'm interested in a USA Peavey Cirrus, Fender Jazz Special (Duff type - any colour), Sterling Ray34 ideally CA model, Sanderberg Basic, Limelight P, Mayones, G&L Kiloton, Warwick or Spector....can add a little cash if needs be. -

So, have had the Fender Stage 800 Rumble combo 5 days now and happy to share my first impressions. I’ll update the thread as I go along and I’m also happy to answer Q’s for those who are curious about this model: 1. It’s heavier than anticipated. Still a one hand carry though and pretty light for what it is I guess. 2. The 64 page manual, that annoyingly you have to download, initially seemed a bit daunting but actually wasn’t too hard to work through – it’s very pictorial and a lot easier compared to the Markbass Multiamp manual. I confidently learned the Fender amp programming in about 2 hours – there’s a lot to remember but it’s fairly self-explanatory once you get going. 3. The sounds and FX are very good, decent envelope filter and there is a decent notable difference between the amp models – ironically I’m favouring the GK emulator at present. There seems to be an abundance of distortions/overdrives…probably too much and a lot of the presets are distortion heavy but of course all settings are easy to modify and make cleaner. 4. The Fender Tone app on the iPhone is brilliant, easy to modify your sound from your phone as long as your connected to the amp via Bluetooth. You can create amps, add Fx and make setlists all from your phone and its quick to make the changes. There are also presets in a Fender cloud that can be auditioned as well as downloaded- quite handy. All settings can be backed up to the cloud too. 5. The footswith is great too. You can switch between amp models easily and switch FX on and off in each patch setting if they’re present. Built in tuner and you can control the looper from the pedal. The pedal is sturdy and built to last, however, the connecting cable is a cheap nasty molded plug type – basic mono jack to jack. 6. First bass amp I’ve ever connected to my home Wifi too – novel! However its great you can play your music via Bluetooth through the amp – today I jammed along with an iTunes playlist and levels can be adjusted to suit. 7. I’m sure there is a toaster somewhere on it but haven’t found that yet…neither have I managed to get on eBay with it Overall though I’m very impressed so far and will take it to rehearsal on Sunday for a good running. Particularly pleased it has a 12 string emulator patch so I can now contribute on our bands take on Pearl Jam’s ‘Jeremy’
