Just picked up Spencer's M-pulse 600. Very convivial chap and interesting to chat with. Amp was in excellent condition and clearly well looked after. Highly recommended basschatter.

Ah Whitstable. The Browning family forebears were oyster dredgers there - and a fair few are still around I understand.

Have to say I wanted to gaffa tape his arms to his sides after a while. Rather a demonstrative chap - clearly never a bass player.

Good man. My band is on the Blues In Britain stage (at Jaks Nightclub) at just after midnight on Friday.

I was going back a fair bit here. I think before Joshua Tree.

Our favourite bass player (Adam Clayton) used 4 PA cabs as his backline for quite a long time I remember.

Love the way the guy puts everything into this.

Bough a Metro pedal board from Chris. Fast delivery and bullet-proof packing. Great comms and all in all a simple transaction. Deal with confidence. Thanks Chris. Steve

This is true. It's a wonderful thing to be playing in a band of real friends without any egos at all. Only took me about 45 years!!

I have the great joy of playing with a similarly talented chap. He uses a Nord but 'plays' the drawbars in just the manner of the 'real thing'. As a result he gets some amazing sounds and being a brilliant player, the effect is tremendous.

Must be a Waterlooville thing! 🙂

A Hammond at full steam is possibly my favourite noise in the world.

You really should look at the stupidly reasonable M-Pulse 600 for sale here. Obviously heavier than the WD800 but 1/3 the price and a truly wonderful amp.

I used to have one of those back in the late 70s. I think you'll find they're actually lead/bass amps.

Were there lights on the amp when it was 'out'? IIRC the PF500 has a purple fault light which signifies the protection kicking in (I think this was the fault for which they became infamous). What's the issue when an amp and mixer into which the amp is DI's are on different mains phases? I know there's something but don't know what the problem is. If no lights were on I wonder if the vibration of the kit being played was affecting a dry joint or something similar? Interesting.

Hello from Waterlooville.

Bought a Fender bridge off Peter. Plenty of communication and super quick delivery with great packaging. Happy to deal with you again, thanks.

I have a fretless one of these. Wonderful basses. Great sounds from the piezo pickup in the bridge. Doesn't say if it's had the Cafe Walter buffer fitted which helps address the fact that the piezo is a fair bit hotter than the Lace Sensor (which I am not sure is active).
