    Heard the first reports but this is still sinking in. Been a fan since Truth trumped the Yardbirds stuff. Here's a nice wee thing from another fan of his. Recorded before his death but in retrospect a nice tribute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV9bnaqqfq8

    Ooooooh dear.... Sold my first and only Sandy (s-s Lionel) a while back and starting to suffer serious pangs of regret ☹️

    If it "rumbles nicely" without any nasty noises and stays in tune, that should be good enough 🙂

    Andy just bought my Eden head. Can't fault any aspect of the slick transaction and thoroughly recommend him to everyone on here.

    Awww, go-on-go-on-go-on, you know you want it - with that little puppy on one shoulder and the One10 on the other you'll be perfectly balanced 😊

    Eden head now gone 😮

    That would make a nice little rig with my Eden WTX-264 also FS on here - 260W of smooth yet punchy Eden goodness into 4ohms 🙂

    Bought new by me for home use and offered in pristine unmarked condition. These amps are little gems that are robustly built, have a quality feel and produce that lovely Eden signature tone with everything set flat. The Bass and Mid knobs are push-pull giving bass boost (+/-15db) and frequency shift (550hz or 2.2khz). Dim's are 27(D) x 20(W) x 7(H)cms, weight is 1.6kg. Price is 'buyer collects' but happy to meet at mutually convenient spot or pack for delivery if buyer arranges and pays for courier.

    Not much to say about these marvellous cab's that hasn't already been said . This one is A1 apart from the edge peeling that was a feature of BF's Tolex-covered cab's for a while (maybe still is?). Bought new for home practice with an Eden WTX-264 head (also FS separately on here) in my small study-cum-music room. No longer needed as we're moving to a house with fewer but bigger rooms. Price is based on collection/collection from mutually convenient point but happy to pack for delivery if buyer arranges and pays for courier.

    Not surprised, very similar look to my first Cazpar 4 (see below with the other 2 I've had). They're wee gems and generally under-rated it seems to me.

    Nice NYE gig in Minehead (England's answer to the Maldives 😎). The crowd were up for it and so were we. What could possibly go wrong? Well, we had to find a dep drummer at the last minute, but all went so well that we played til 1am and the venue paid us more than agreed. Not a bad start to the NY!

    I love the Cazzie! Had a few in the last 10 years and they're exquisite. They're the sister brand of Maruszczyk and although made at the same workshop they are far superior in terms of build quality IMHO.

    Very promising but still finding my way round it. Did my quick basic set-up yesterday but still not happy with the action up at the dusty end. For now, I'll just throw out a few random things. My knowledge of 'Rays is limited to: playing a used standard-scale passive MM FS in a shop a few years back and quickly finding a tonal sweet spot that was to die for; buying a SBMM s-s when they first came out and being very impressed - but not enough to keep it; liking Gail Ann Dorsey's 'Ray sounds in Bowie's band. Mine is fitted with round-wound strings (not EB Slinkies) and I have opted for flats on all my basses for a while now. I've not had a fat lot of experience with active basses. When I've decided where to go string-wise, I may need to play around a bit with the pick-up height as the E & A strings are dominating the D & G (could be the existing strings). I'm getting some great sounds but am a bit concerned at how dramatically the volume level responds to changes on the 3-band EQ. I want to make full use of the East tonal palette without faffing around with volume control. More later 🙂

    Was up at BCH's on Thursday trying - and buying - his modded s-s MM Stingray. I took my Mesa TT-800 along to play through Bernard's Monaco. In between chatting about the 'Ray and his other fine basses, there was much positive comment about the Monaco cabs that we have recently acquired. When it comes to cabs, we've both been round the block a few times, and we're delighted with what Stevie's done. Great job! 👏

    It's very nice there at this time of year - allegedly 🤐
  17. scrumpymike
    Should have credited BCH with the fine pic's he took and copied to me - thanks Bernard. Here's one of the East engine room:

    Here's my new baby, bought from Bernard (BCH) on here complete with John East 3-band active mod 😊

    Tried and bought Bernard's s-s MM 'Ray yesterday. Well worth the 6-hour round trip to Northampton! Super bass and never any worries when dealing with this top-class Basschat member.

    I 100% agree with this great review and look forward to Lobster's modding video for adding pickup selector switch and flats.
  21. scrumpymike
    ... which is what I've always had. Only because I need at least 19 easily accessible frets. Mind you, if somebody wanted to gift me a JMJ I wouldn't say no.
  22. scrumpymike
    The 'one cab solution' was a factor for me too. As soon as I found out that my Mesa TT-800 was more than loud enough through the Monaco for our rock gigs, my order was placed.
  23. scrumpymike
    Really liking the HB Deluxe though only used it at home as it's a kind of backup for the backup gig bass. The lack of p'up selector switch remains the only thing I can fault but the tone pot gives a good range so perfectly useable as is. Massive value for money and as good as anything else I've tried in the <£500 range. Removed the bottom 'mushroom' strap button in favour of a Dunlop flush strap-lock to make it fit (just) in a nice Gator hard case (Jag IIRC) I already have.
  24. scrumpymike
    Grabbed a couple of pic's while time and daylight permitted. Most comfortable carry handle I've ever used btw.
  25. scrumpymike
    The cab is unmarked and looks just as good from every angle. Happy to confirm with more pic's to anyone interested.
