  1. This one has also been doing the rounds. https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca
  2. I love everything about the original hollow body design apart from the headstock. They really sounded fantastic.
  3. I had a mod. flea bass for a while a few years back. Utterly, utterly superb with impeccable build, evenness across all strings, amazing balance but I still ending up selling it. I could never get it to sit right in a band. It always ended up sounding really grating with a huge amount of treble that I could never dial out. I had the treble almost fully cut and bass and mids heavily boosted to get it anywhere near finding the space. I still miss it, just for the way it played and the look and especially given how much they’re worth now!
  4. The museum is free! I think the basses’ value is as a cultural icon as it’s from a brilliant album cover. Probably up there with never mind the bolloxx as a symbol of the era.
  5. I visited this yesterday and really enjoyed the clash section. Lots of old posters, clothes, guitars and lyric sheets. Managed to get a pic of the bass. You can get right up to it in the display case and really appreciate how hard Paul must have smashed it!
  6. Glad you were able to move it on! Startling bass for the money.
  7. Camden barfly. 1 set of stairs for bands and punters. They often do a full lineup of 3 bands, then a changeover to a club night around 11 with different bands and a full audience change over. As it’s late, both crowds have very whizzed up punters. Cue three bands trying to load out, 200ish punters down 1 set of stairs, while the promoter is trying to get another 200 punters and 3 bands of gear up the same stairs at the same time. You don’t have time to get vehicles before this starts if you’re the headline so you load into the street. Cue unlucky band members watching the pile of gear outside the venue while the others get the cars. Gear everywhere, scary folks eyeing up guitar cases, people voming in the street, oh and it’s raining.
  8. Aaaarghhh. Bargain. A new one is around 2k! This is a great price, just at the wrong time for me.
  9. Ridiculous price alert! Someone please buy this or offer me something smaller in a trade!
  10. I’ve decided to keep the head from this combo but sell the cab. Someone out there could drop another head into it, or chop off the bit at the top of the cab or just live with it as is. Might suit a rehearsal room for an awesome big cab that’s going to stay put. 8ohms. 73x57x43cm without the castors. Add another 5cm with the castors. Approx weight 30-35kg. The good: sounds great, no significant tears in the covering. Has castors although these are getting tired. You can add a head to it if you wish! Aguilar cabinets are silly money new! The bad - Note that the horn doesn’t work! I bought it in this condition and have used it at home for a couple of years. Ignore the head in the pics, this is for the cabinet only! Collection from sandhurst, you’re welcome to try it with the ag500 head which is staying with me! Pricewise, I’ve seen a few gs212 cabs sell in similar condition for 350-400. Given this has the extra bit for the amp which may be a pain/ inconvenience to some people I think the current price is very reasonable! Possible trades for decent 1x12 cab, this is being sold to downsize.
  11. Thanks so much Marc, that’s a decent solution as I love the tone of the amp. I’m going to keep the head, I think that’s most of the value here. I’ll repost the cab and someone can get a bargain. I need to work out how to get some rack ears for it....
  12. Hi Marc, that’s a good question. I’ve honestly not thought about that. I’ll do some research and maybe take it apart tomorrow. I’m guessing the case is going to be different to the head, at the least having extra mounting holes. If I can use this on its own I might keep hold of it, look for a 1x12 and sell the cab on the cheap without the amp.
  13. Bump for a bargain. I've seen the AG500 head selling on it's own for £450 on this very forum!
  14. Price drop £425. Beast of an amp, which is far too big for my needs! I bought this secondhand a couple of years ago from a function band player. It’s stayed in my conservatory as a rather outsized but ridiculously good sounding practice amp. No gigs, no rehearsals (unfortunately for me), only home volume use in a pet free, smoke free home. This is the single channel version with the carpet covered finish. The good: Sounds immense, I mean, it’s really, really good. Creamy, warm, Aguilar tone. All controls works. No significant knocks or marks. The front panel is really clean. The bad: The horn doesn’t work- was like this when I bought it. It doesn’t bother me whatsoever but calling it out here. Casters are getting towards the end of their useful life. They still work, but they’re getting on a bit. Its not small or light! Then again it sounds amazing! I’d guess it was around 30kg at least. It’s a 2x12 non neo cab with a 500 watt solid state head. Based in sandhurst. I can’t realistically ship this without original packaging. Buyer to collect and welcome to inspect and try at non-stadium volume levels in my conservatory. Ive uploaded a quick walk around vid, I’ll try and do something better when my daughter isn’t getting in the way later. I’ll try to answer all PMs within a day. Possible trades for a really decent but smaller combo! At least 300 watts, nothing bigger than a 1X12. IMG_6900.MOV
  15. Funny how most of these crazy punter stories are from north of the border.... I’ve never played north of Manchester, I’ve had to put up with a few similarish gig experiences but nothing like these.
  16. https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/clearance/phil-jones/?InStockOnly=False&MaxPrice=&MinPrice=&ClearanceType=&Colour=&Shape=&Pickup=&Ordering=1 Sorry if this isn't allowed but I spotted this and thought it would be worth sharing here. Some really amazing prices on this stuff. Half price headphones, bass buddies for £199 etc.
  17. My favourite pedal ever! The magic box to make anything sound better. I’m amazed they aren’t more widely used, especially by players who enjoy using effects. Running one of these in front of any of my pedals really changes the response and character.
  18. Looks beautiful. I have a bass with the same allparts neck and it’s wonderful. Note that in today’s money a new neck is £445 alone!
  19. The general consensus is they are finally moving in the right direction, at least in terms of the electric guitar line. This is a 8 year old video? I don’t think it’s representative of where the company is right now.
