I'm pretty sure the intention of this is for use as a PA sub to go with the FR800's....

Thanks Chaps for the replies!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1479830419' post='3179633'] I'm confused. Do you mean cab, or do you mean combo? Hard to see how anyone can recommend a cab if they don't know what amp you are using. [/quote] See post#3 - the OP is using a GB streamliner 600 head..

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1479828516' post='3179610'] I agree on the Slammers, but that one has an interesting body shape though as well as a J pup and better bridge. So I'd expect it would get more. Do you know any more about the build? I guess the ultimate answer is stick on Evil-bay and see what it goes for; that's the law of economics. [/quote] I don't know any more unfortunately, I just think it was a case of them trying to make something a bit more interesting, but ultimately they are still cheap stuff from a time when cheap usually meant nasty as well. Not always the case! YMMV! I'd agree, let eBay decide..

Hey all, I've got a YOB (1975) Jazz which is all good and nice and light too, surprisingly. Only thing is the 3 bolt neck - does have a tendency to move a little sideways now and again. What's the preferred method for getting it to stay in place? I won't be converting to a 4-bolt or anything like that, but I've read about putting sand/glass paper in the neck pocket as a possible solution to this? Any thoughts? Ta Muchly!

You've already touched on this - but I think my biggest concern would be having to convince any potential future buyer who thought it wasn't right. Then again you do have this thread as evidence..

Hey Kert, I reckon far east manufactured, Marlins were east German made up until the late eighties (Slammer and Sidewinder guitars / Basses) and then Korea up until they ceased in the late nineties. I'd say it's not worth a lot unfortunately, certainly sub £100. They were distributed by Hohner IIRC..Entry level stuff, and not a patch on today's entry level stuff either..

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1479727333' post='3178717'] Don't send anything until the money is in your bank account, and insist on fully insured and tracked postage so you can follow it all the way. [/quote] This is pretty much it. EDIT: and of course only deal with Basschatters!

Here's the latest version of mine. Set up to run a Yamaha Attitude using both outputs from the Bass, feeding 2 inputs on the Mixer. [attachment=232420:pedalboard.jpg] Chain is: Woofer (neck) pickup > Micro POG > Spectracomp > Bass Driver > mixer input. P Pickup > EBS Billy Sheehan Deluxe > Rolls Crossover > Spectracomp > Para Driver > mixer input. ABY switch is in the drive loop of the EBS to switch the drive channel off / on. No amp on stage for me these days, I use in-ears (Ultimate Ears UE900s).

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1479660258' post='3178216'] Used to do it until I started using Superbrights which are pre-stretched. Now I don't bother! [/quote] I didn't know this! I've only ever done a press down after the saddle anyway, but good to know!

Bought a pedal from Chris last week, all done nice and easy and delivered really well packaged, Cheers Chris!

Surprised it's not for sale in the marketplace on here TBH. Most BF owners in the UK will have found out about them through this forum in one way or another I reckon.....

Made in 1992. I was 17 at the time. What I wouldn't have given to have that rig.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1479289620' post='3175300'] I have to ask, did BFC stand for "Big F****ng Cab"? [/quote] Not sure 'officially', but I'm pretty sure that's what everyone assumed!

What a cool find!

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1479228066' post='3174902'] In the end I had to contact Fender, who where quite intrigued themselves, and helpful. [/quote] Oh? Do tell!

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1479143552' post='3174296'] This isn't helping! [/quote] Neither will this then: [attachment=232083:Pbbm.JPG]

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1479147623' post='3174340'] Meant to post this before [/quote] Hmmm. Doesn't look as weird as I thought it would.

Yep - Black / Black / Maple!!!

Yep - All the character in the tone of the Attitude is coming from the Split P Pickup. The Will power P Snarls & Growls like a bulldog with an elastic band on his man parts..the volume is something else, bordering on the output of an active bass...
