    Totally agree with all the positive comments - if Basschat didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent it! Our recent S-W bash was a total delight, and that was mainly down to the people. (OK, there was some VERY nice kit too )

    End-of-month bump.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1496236768' post='3309787'] I totally recommend [url="https://transferwise.com/u/michaelb70"]Transferwise[/url] - it's cheap and fast. [size=3](Disclosure: the link above is a referral link - using it will give you a free transfer up to £500, and I'll get a referral point. Of course do your own research, YMMV etc.)[/size] [/quote] +1 I've used them 4 times, first foc referral and 3rd time also foc - they waived the fee because the money arrived 24hrs late, which wasn't an issue for me anyway.

    Fender Rascal - absolutely unique!

    Great result mate! Does make you wonder about the stuff you see in these cash-converter shops though...

    And it's welcome from me too. Nice collection of bass gear you have there! I'm a big Ibanez fan although haven't got anything at the moment except the old Musician that's on long-term (permanent?!) loan to my son. My most recent was a TMB30 short scale (s-s is all I play now) that was unbelievable value for money. Never really got into the Hartke stuff though, and the brand doesn't seem to be in a good place nowadays, certainly in the UK. What is it you like about their stuff?

    Nice idea but I don't ever need instant access to more than 2 basses.
  9. scrumpymike
    That's a stunner!

    Very nice - based on what I've heard about Gibson's 'legal eagles', I'm surprised this one made it into the market-place!

    Met Al in a pub car-park somewhere near Bristol yesterday to collect and pay for a nice TCE BH550, which I then used at rehearsal last night. All good, highly recommend this Basschat-er (and this amp if anybody's thinking of getting one). Mike

    I'm same as you with a small part of the frequency range missing in both ears. I only wear my aids in difficult situations like meetings or when the audio on the telly isn't very clear - less than 5% of the day on average. I play without aids or plugs but we don't play very loud. We're all different s0 I think you need to experiment a bit while erring on the side of caution to avoid any further damage.

    If you can prove beyond reasonable doubt that it's the gear that was stolen from you, then it's still yours AFAIK.

    Bumping this lovely bass again.

    [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1494517666' post='3296690'] Some more info The Glockenklang Blue Soul Amp Head….. 650 W / 4 ohm 450 W 8 ohm [/quote] Are you sure it's 450W into 8ohms? Your review link says 350W.

    +1 for the SWB-1 (I've got one) and Ibanez Talman TMB30 (I've had one) - both excellent. The Ibanez looks/sounds/feels more classic 'old school' and balances better while the Chowny is a cut above quality-wise (as you'd expect from the price) with a cleaner, more neutral sound - you'd need to pay the £100 premium for the active version if you wanted a broader tonal range.

    I'm pleased to say that Steve is the new owner of my 120th Anniversary SG. Every step of the transaction went smoothly and I would thoroughly recommend him as a top Basschat forum member. Mike

    Have a bump on me - this is a cut-price entry ticket to the wonderful world of Marra ownership (or multiple ownership even!!)

    [quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1493117931' post='3285709'] They're well smart! Congrats [/quote] +1 Also, I like this idea of owners posting pic's of themselves bedecked with multiple Marra's - could catch on

    [quote name='benebass' timestamp='1492447677' post='3280322'] Hi All - I'm reluctantly putting my beautiful Maruszczyk Jake back up for sale. There's loads on the forum about how great these basses are & this one's no exception. It's a one off medium (32") scale build with a chambered body & weighs approx. 3kg (6.6lb) - probably the lightest Precision ever! The original spec was: - Jake 4p - Chambered, 32” medium scale Body Wood - Alder with lightly flamed maple top and back Neck - Maple with Rosewood fingerboard, 10” radius, 2.64/1.20mm fretwire (medium jumbo), 40mm nut width. White 3mm dots in front, matte finish, Mr. Tee (Telecaster style) headstock, 'slim C' profile (21mm at first fret, 24mm at twelfth feet) Pickups - Haussel P with passive volume & tone Hardware - Hipshot Ultralite Tuners Colour - Redburst (red with black border) gloss I had it for a while & decided I wanted a maple neck, so Adrian built one for me. The spec is the same as above, but with a 7.5" radius, the Fender-style Hipshot Ultralites & a 1.5" (38mm) nut width - like an old Jazz Bass. I've also fitted a Gotoh 201 bridge instead of the Hipshot Vintage bridge it was built with & this is a big improvement. Home use only, so really good condition. The deal is for the bass in a gig bag with both necks & I'll throw in both sets of Hipshot Ultralites. Pics: - [attachment=243258:IMG_20170417_1650407701.jpg] Here's the original sofa shot with the rosewood neck on: - [attachment=243259:JakeBass.jpg] No problem doing more photos if you want some I also found a video of Adrian playing it to demonstrate the Haussel pickup. It's strung with Status 100s in the video: - [media]http://youtu.be/h9YM7yg7Veo[/media] I have since restrung it with Ernie Ball Slinky 45-105s & it sings with rounds on! Ideally I'm looking for a cash / collection deal (I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne) for £650, which I think is a lot of bass for the price! Postage may be an option, but will have to send the spare neck separately. Cheers, B. P.S. Original sale thread is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/289364-withdrawn-maruszczyk-medium-scale-jake-4-lightest-precision-ever-possible-trade"]here[/url] [/quote] What a bargain is this - as Tome appears to have realised!!
