  1. After many years of thinking ( without trying ) that short scale basses were just not right for a 6' 4" bass player I have suddenly found the light. A few weeks ago I tried a fellow Basschatters Acinonyx bass and loved it so much I went out and bought one. Immediately I fell in love with the light weight and easy to navigate small neck. I sold my 34" scale bass and a spare amp to fund another shortie. Say hello to the Serek "the grand". I've now gigged both basses and both have a place and unique sound.
  2. This sale is for my Ampeg PF50t and matching flip top 15" cab PF115he. 50 watts of valve power. Amp has no hum. Comes with casters, manual, speaker cable, power cable and spare power valves. Preamp tubes are NEW JJs. Power valves are either matched NEW JJ or matched NEW Tube Amp Doctor. Both are included. Collection only from Torquay. Also on eBay...... Be quick.🎸
  3. I totally forgot about the silver version.
  4. It looks like there has been three different limited edition colour pedals. The first was an exclusive black version for Sweetwater. The second is the blue finish which is available from Bass Direct. The third is the new gold paint version. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/aguilar-tone-hammer-preamp-direct-box-limited-edition-new-york-skyline/

  6. It is a limited edition finish. Bass Direct has one left. Grab it.... It's so funky.😍
  7. The GR Pure Drive pedal is out and a funky looking Tone Hammer is in. The Tone Hammer suits my passive Acinonyx bass better than the GR.
  8. I'm want to add a 3 band Fender type ( passive ) tone stack to my pedal board. Do you know of any commercial pedals that are currently available?
  9. Is the Riks P bass short scale? Looks smaller than the other basses. I'm looking for a short scale P. Marc
  10. Message sent. 🤠
  11. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/?s=Acinonyx+v2 Check out Bass Direct. They have the V2 in stock. 🤠
  12. I think I've seen the light and have been converted.... I've been very happy with the sound, playability and feel of my Musicman SR5. It has been my main bass for sometime now being used every weekend at church and while rehearsing for a new band. Now that I'm gigging again with 20 shows until the end of year I wanted to lighten the load on my back and maybe at the same time try a generally smaller bass. Sam a fellow Basschatter who lives near me has an Acinonyx bass strung with Labella low tension flats. He very kindly hosted me one afternoon while I had a go on his bass to see if I liked it. Well to say I was impressed was an understatement. The smile on my face was ear to ear. It is small, very light weight, packs a punch and the 17mm string spacing made it so easy to play. The next day I put an order in with the most excellent guys at Bass Direct and the next day arrived a fantastic Acinonyx bass in Lake Placid Blue. I've also ordered a set of Newtone Shorties strings to see if they suit the Acinonyx. Has anyone tried them? Two gigs, church and 2 rehearsals later I'm a convert. So much so the SR5 has gone to Bass Bros and I'm looking around for more shorties. 🤠
  13. Added a small Becos compressor to gently smooth out my live sound. Works really well and great value at £150. Shout out to Joe's Pedals for a fantastic buying experience. https://joespedals.com/
