  1. RCF 745A? As featured in I am no longer gigging actively, but did have a brief internal debate about buying these! I am using a QSC K10.2 as backline because even when I do gig I will not be anywhere near a loud drummer. It is an exceptionally capable cab. We use the QSC K12 at work and would happily borrow one of those if I needed to fight with a drummer.
  2. They are just super grunty. I realise that that is a super subjective way of putting it, and pretty meaningless really as anything could be grunty given enough gain at the front end. They have clarity and a cut which is quite unlike anything else I have tried. Like a full-throated roar if needed. When I say clarity I am not talking about shiny high frequencies. Wow, tone words! They mean nothing!
  3. MORE ROOM TO SLAP!!!!!! That is not going to happen. I have not actually had a chance to plug it in yet but from what I recall of Bongos, you are correct. I had to put the Vol/Bal on a dual concentric otherwise it would be a 4-pot plate. I like a front-loaded jack socket.
  4. They came out of a Bongo. I waited a long time to find some.
  5. Sorry, I should have noted, Mr Manton does lovely work!
  6. I picked up some Bongo electronics. I have owned some (!) Bongos in the past but found them uncomfortable when seated. But I loved the electronics. Our own @Manton Customs did the routing work and all that malarky. New scratchplate, control cavity, battery and pickups. The control knobs are all sorts of wrong, but I will source some better ones. The before pictures are here. Share my joy.
  7. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=175805626444&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l2562&_ssn=sine-effect The builder has options!
  8. Uuuuuurrrrghhhhhh..... Bargainous.......
  9. "Regrets, I have a few...." I should not have sold my Sei J5.
  10. I am glad that I do not need another 4 string. This is lots and lots of good things in one place.
  11. All items + postage at cost. I have 3 volume pedals. 2 are in-line ones and one is one specifically to plug into the single volume pedal socket on a keyboard. I was quite disappointed about the keyboard only option but waited too long to try it so could not return it. The keys specific one is a Yamaha FC7 - £40 Korg KVP - 002 - £15 Roland EV5 - £15 - Sold. And it is actually an expression pedal! AB switch - £10 3 channel looper (not for that modern stuff where you record yourself and then play over it) - £40 Jazz tort guard - £10 5 string USA MM Sub black guard lined with copper tape - £10 5 string USA MM Sub white guard - £10 Geddy Lee's big book of bass - £35 John Entwhistle bass collection - £35 - Sold. 4 screw neck plate - £2
  12. Thanks. That was bargainous! It is a shame he has nothing else.
  13. I need to get out more. I clocked the rack at the top of the 1st picture and recognised it as Mr BF's from when I saw it at a bass bash probably 2 decades ago.
  14. Could you link me up to the ebay advert for the seller? I am wondering if he has many different cases. Ta.
  15. I used to have an NS 5 string. I also had a Peli-alike hard case for it. With in built wheels. I loved that case!
  16. I am fully aware that I have shown this before. It is on in the background while I do admin and I wanted to bump it to share the joy - but I could not find the original post. This is sublime bass playing.
  17. I played a Stick about 38 years ago. My head still hurts a bit. Talk about "this looks familiar, let's have a go. Oh wow, this is bonkers!". I take my hat off to anyone who plays them. My brain is not wired that way. I have a 6 which is tuned to bottom F#. It is lots of fun. Am I getting the full fundamental note? No chance. But I use it for last notes in songs and as long as the harmony above is all good then it provides a nice cushion for everyone else to sit on.
