  1. Similar .. They had mine , but they put up 2 sets of identical photos, but each set had different prices. The same bass, but with 2 different prices. Weird. Then, one of the set of photos was marked ' sold ' but it wasnt, when i checked. I got my bass back after that. Amateurs
  2. Its always worth proof reading before hitting the submit button. Perhaps that's too simple for some.
  3. They disbanded in the 80's 🤓
  4. Never owned a Riccardo, but nowt against them. For any fans, the track below is from an album, ( yeeeup, released on Vinyl ) by some pals of mine. Jerry was the bassister on fretless Rick , fab player I shared a house with Jerry, and Dennis, the guitar wiz ... Vintage 57 Gold Top Les Paul no less They were a great band, if you like that sort of music, and the whole album is on YT.
  5. The PJ headphones at £49 are only half price from PJ themselves, as Amazon sell them for £67.99 , but thats still nearly a £20 saving
  6. Arggggh ! My bad - what was i thinking
  7. Always is, ya never know. But the Vitoos 9v outlets are all 300 ma whereas the the Mooer 9v are all 100 ma. I know not many pedals require over 100 ma but who knows what gas i'll get in the future ? 300 ma would, i assume, cover just about anything 9v
  8. Thanks mate but i've gone for the Vitoos, because the Mooer is £20 more just for that one 15v power. The Vitoos was £41 and i can live with having one extra power supply for the Wah
  9. Then how are you going to build a bass if you aint not got any tools ?
  10. Wah ! And its cheaper. Good post BT. Cheers ! Sod the HB jobbie Also just realised the HB does NOT have a 15v outlet, so my Californiwah will still have to have its own supply/plug
  11. Very good sir
  12. Messaged the seller and he says it come with a bottle of fretboard cleaner
  13. This power brick looks intriguing ( proper isolation for the sockets ) and 500ma 12v 15v 18v options, and all 9v options are 300ma, which makes a change. Tested on Youtube and all was good, and HB speak the truth Trouble is, its own mains supply is a dodgy 2 pin plug, on a skinnier than skinny cable, ending in a barrel connector. I asked about cutting euro plugs off and fitting uk plugs in another thread ( RCF Sub ) but that cable from Italy had proper size 3 colour wires , blue / brown / green stripe, so was advised a uk plug would be fine, but this doesnt look like that can be done. Yes, 2 pin plugs can be stuck into a UK adaptor, but its nasty and cumbersome, and they usually wobble about. Not sure, so what to do ?
  14. My pal plays jazz guitar, amongst other styles, and being a grade 8 teacher of guitar, i guess he knows whats what. He uses a Marshall AS50D, and leaves it at my place for impromptu jamming. Its a superb amp. Not expensive - think they can picked up for £100-£135
  15. I would certainly go with Ped and Bass Apprentice choices. Cort make pretty good basses, and so do Sire. I've owned a Sire in the past. The Ibanez would also be a good choice, but a little more expensive, if you can stretch to 33,000 Rupees
  16. £300 seems very reasonable for a pro to ply their skills. Thing is Mick, you say you dont have the tools so you're going to have to up your budget from the £300 course fee. You could buy second hand, and if you do, i would be asking Jabba, Christine, Andy, what makes to look out for, and which would be essential for the work
  17. Maybe Andy was partially asleep at the time
  18. I had a search of my Ebay purchases for the P bass neck i bought, which i sent to Andy JR on these forums to build a body. The neck was superb, and didnt need a thing doing to it. It wasnt expensive , around £70/£80 delivered ( cant remember exactly ) but it was from a UK seller. Trouble is, i can no longer find him. One's Ebay purchases dont seem to stay in the purchase list forever, so i cant be any more help with that particular guy
  19. £53.79 is not the price you'll pay VAT is charged at 20% on goods sent from non-EU countries if they are worth more than £15. Customs duty at 2.5% is charged on items with a value between £135 and £630.
  20. I smell a rodent
  21. I also had the Superly, and mine was 99% brillant, but quite a few suffered from that high pitched digital clock whine, on one channel IIRC. Apparently there was nothing could be done. Possibly cheap Chinese components, but i bought mine 2nd hand so never got to debate with Ashdown about it. I also dumped the rediculous alloy outer casing. Save a fair bit of weight. Bill Fitzmaurice used to use one, or maybe still does
  22. I thought Peavey took over TE ? Anyways - Ashdown bargains ?
  23. Thats a fine looking axe right there, Rob. Great work
  24. Oooh, bargain. Cheers Pedro
  25. Its a shame Andertons dont follow the EBS policies.
