    Interesting! If this was a 5 (and I wasn’t skint) I’d probably keep it. At this price it’s hardly worth selling anyway. I love the body shape. It plays nicely. Perhaps It’ll stay after all.....

    Now £110 for a great gig cab
  3. bigjimmyc
    Now only £100. Come on lefties - grab a bargain!

    Ok these may be “vintage” but sound pretty good to me and very solidly built. Stated 300w 8ohms. Ideal for PA, disco, even monitoring thanks to wedge shape. Delivery with reason for petrol money.

    Really nice playing instrument at this price. Pickups upgraded from stock (not sure on brand). Scratchplate and screws included, I just preferred it like this. No trades. Delivery within reason for petrol money.

    I have that cab and can happily confirm that the connectors are indeed green.
  7. bigjimmyc
    Of course you can! I notice yours is immaculate. Perhaps this one would be best for rougher venues, keep the other unspoiled? Anyway, a 4x12 rig is a thing of legend....

    Bargain VS-212

    Please buy my cab! More gear listed shortly so watch this space.

    Offers considered, delivery possible.

    Thanks @silverfoxnik and @Merton It’s a great cab. I bought it specifically for the dimensions which fit in a car I no longer own. Anyone who has a small car or small stage would get a real kick out of this. Btw, tatty isn’t fair. I should have said scruffy. Best piece of Ashdown kit I’ve owned (so far).

    Hi. Surplus to requirements, gotta go. This is the 300w version. A little tatty but solid and sounds great. It is very compact (72cm tall x 49cm wide x 34cm deep, including feet). Perfect for your LB or CTM-100!

    Hi. Keen to have this is it's still available! Ta.

    I was very lucky to see these guys on the weekend. Ska is a really long way from my usual taste, but they were completely epic! Bass player was really putting in a shift - didn't miss a single note - and I have to admit I'd never realised the complexity of the bass in this genre. Talented guy looking very cool and playing some cracking lines! So now I need to go find some ska tabs.....

    Yeah I know! Lefty style... same orientation as my other main bass. The wiring is easier this way too.
  17. bigjimmyc
    Yep, I have the four10 here in Winchester. Come try it!

    Sammers sold me a lefty Hipshot detuner. Very fair price and the thing was like brand new. Great deal, executed perfectly, thanks! Jim

    Cuzzie replied to my wanted ad (EMG GZR pups) with the exact thing I needed. We struck a fair price and the beauties rocked up in no time. It don't get any better than that! Top man.

    In short, the GZRs sound awesome! I don't really have the words. Amazing, grindy, heavy. Not to sound anal, but they are way less noisy too. I think the new wiring & pots have a lot to do with that. The rat's nest I took out must've been robbing the sound too. Fitting the new wiring & pots took five minutes. Best upgrade ever!

    So I bought a dremel today. Actually I didn’t because they were £70 at screwfix and so I got the Draper equivalent at Toolstation for £26. Anyway, clouds of dust later the pups are in! Not wishing to sound like the new father with babe in arms, but I’m pretty emotional about the outcome. It looks great but it sounds AWESOME. Only remaining problem... EMG pots are fatter than the ones I took out. My knobs don’t fit!
  22. bigjimmyc
    Thanks Lozz. I’m a cheapskate so I sliced the old stuff down and reused it.
  23. bigjimmyc
    Pickup replacement turns out to be more fun than expected...
  24. bigjimmyc
    PS. Next problem assuming I get these in... The original pups have stiff foam glued underneath to support them and allow for height adjustment. If the new pups were the same depth I might just transfer the foam, but they’re a bit deeper. Is there a better way?
  25. bigjimmyc
    Hi all. I purchased a PJ set of EMG GZR passive pickups to replace the stock Jackson units in my Charvel. They came with the idiot-proof pushfit wires and pots. Having undertaken wiring stuff before I felt pretty confident. The unforseen problem is that the new pups don’t quite fit the slots where the old ones came out. It feels like a very small amount of sanding or somesuch is required. Please advise on the best way to widen the holes without ruining the paintwork! cheers!
