    There's a new cheaper alternative to the unavailable BAII - it's called the OMEGA bass bridge - cant be got quite cheaply from the states on Ebay (import duty will add some though): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Omega-Badass-Bass-II-Style-Bridge-for-Fender-Precision-Jazz-2-1-4-Chrome-/141868799307?hash=item21080a154b:g:yokAAOSwWnFV9Ej1 Bass centre online also sell them, but more expensive: http://www.basscentre.com/bass-accessories/omega-4-string-bass-bridge.html

    Agree with most of what's been said already, bad form from the landlord to just send an email for a same day cancellation, to me that should have definitely been an answered phone call / text message at the very least. And then to post on their facebook page that it was your fault, why? I can understand someone telling a porkie when being faced up by your mates who had turned up to see you, but why post the same lie on Facebook? I can only guess they had more than a few inquiries as to where the band were and so decided to try and publicly absolve themselves somehow. Can't believe for one minute though that they honestly thought you wouldn't find out about it...

    2012 Fender Geddy Lee signature in 3 tone sunburst. Made in Mexico. Weighs 9.4lbs. Bought new by myself from Wunjo Bass in Denmark st, London. Only ever used at home, never gigged even once, it really is in immaculate condition. Has the Badass II bridge, not like the newer ones now which have fenders imitation of the same bridge. I have the Fender gig bag it came with (this has been used separately but it's in good nick) and the hang tags that were on the bass in the shop. Bass is in Bridgend area of South Wales but I can deliver or meet up within reason. No trades on this one thanks guys I'm all good for gear at the moment. Feel free to ask any questions! Thanks!

    [quote name='dood' timestamp='1459193437' post='3014346'] I've had one waiting for me at the magazine studio for over a week now. I'm here, the pedal is there... nyargh!!!!! [/quote] Know how you feel, I got mine on Friday, but have not yet had even 1 minute spare to plug the bugger in. Probably wont until maybe Thursday! I've got the guys on the Attitude Facebook page nagging for a review, and I really want to hear it too, and how it compares to the original which I have as well. Perhaps you'll save me trouble and get a review up first!

    Bass Direct have them in stock now. First ones to hit the UK I think. £189.
  6. LewisK1975
    Now traded elsewhere.
  7. LewisK1975
    Trade deal Pending.

    I know that Karlfer was looking for one of these recently, should think he'll be along shortly!

    [quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1458219508' post='3005697'] Stop tempting me....If I was to specify a custom build it would be pretty close to this. A nice bass, GLWTS! [/quote] Ha! Thanks Pinball, it plays great and has all the quality you'd expect from a Sandberg, just surplus to my requirements for now, or I wouldn't be selling. Only an hour-ish away from you too

    That's good to know - cheers. Been fancying one. Always liked my evo ii, and have been searching for something lightweight which could get me in that ballpark. I feel a GAS attack coming...

    [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1458293235' post='3006267'] Never even crossed my mind! Not sure why [/quote] I think there's a certain amount of expectance at a metal gig that you might get bumped and shoved a bit, or maybe get an accidental boot in the face from a crowd surfer coming over your head etc. Doesn't excuse the intentional violence that the OP describes, just I mean that maybe there's a sort of 'what happens in vegas' atmosphere which heavy gig goers subscribe to. For the record though - I think the guy was being a total asshole. YMMV.

    Whats the difference in the 'evo' model then? Doesn't seem that they were around for long before they became 'evo'?
  13. LewisK1975
    To the top! Must be someone out there wants one of these, who has a lovely Fender / Fenderlike 4 string maple fingerboard bass to trade?!
  14. LewisK1975
    PM sent!
  15. LewisK1975
    Another Price drop sends it to the top!!

    [quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1457895506' post='3002783'] would "brave new world" by iron maiden count? it wasn't a reformation as such but did mark the return of adrian smith and bruce dickinson and turned out to be a pretty darn good album [/quote] I'd agree with this, all of the albums since BD and AS came back into the band have been excellent. Somewhat predictable on times, but always top notch! Now - if they'd just tour the UK a bit more often...
  17. LewisK1975
    That one's a bit more positive Mark! Ha! Enjoyed that one.....been reading the last few through fingers!...

    Nice one Jass, was it the off-white one posted up on here earlier this week? That was very nice indeed...

    [quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1457699564' post='3001058'] Looking at the PCB layout (there are pics online) I VERY much doubt it has a valve input. There are 3 valves on the CTM15. 2 for the power amp (2 EL84, typical for 15 watt amps) and one 12AX7, but it's placement would suggest it's doing phase inverter duty. There's lots of "sand" between the input and the valves... LB30: [attachment=214412:lb30guts.jpg] CTM15: [attachment=214411:ctm15guts.jpg] [/quote] Thanks Bigwan - Glad that I have class-d. At least we all know what's inside them, or do we?

    As said 'hate' is a strong word, and I think that most designs have their place, but for me: I think my biggest gripe is 'orrible headstock shapes on Fender clones. Not fussed on the modern single cuts like those shown earlier, but a G&L ASAT is very nice (apart from the headstock!), if it's considered a single cut? Too many knobs / switches (limit 4) Prefer Maple boards to rosewood

    Was just going to say the same as SIC above Marc, most (if not all) German folk, speak very good english, AFAIK they are taught english in school from a very early age..so I wouldn't worry about a language barrier. Hopefully they've just 'borrowed' your pic..
  22. LewisK1975
    Goodness, there was me thinking if you had a valve input and valve output power, you had a valve amp!
  23. LewisK1975
    [quote name='Pow_22' timestamp='1457695601' post='3001001'] They are, the CTM15 is hybrid (and naughtily advertised as All Valve by ashdown) [/quote] These are the specs in the manual: [attachment=214410:Capture.JPG] How is it hybrid if it has valve input and valve output? I'm really not criticizing your comment, just curious that maybe there are more ways to describe 'hybrid' than I know about...
  24. LewisK1975
    Every one of these I've ever heard has sounded really good to my ears. YMMV.
  25. LewisK1975
    Norfolk n' good. You're welcome.
