    I enjoy playing both 4 and 5 string basses and after years of using both, can switch from one to the other during gigs without any problems at all. After so many years of doing this, I think that that my playing ability and style is pretty consistent whichever bass I'm using, but the way that I use the 5 is definitely different and works really well for some songs and some styles of music. I've never got on with 6 string basses though; had one for about 3 months once and didn't enjoy the experience at all... But having said that, I absolutely love listing to someone like Steve Lawson play one - it's really amazing how creative it can be in the hands of the right bassist.

    Just sold an Ampeg 210 cab to Paddy (via Facebook of all places..). Lovely bloke, great comms and he's a absolute pleasure to deal with.. Got to say a good word too about Paddy's son Dan who came to collect the cab this evening.. He's definitely a chip off the old block as he was equally easy going and pleasant to deal with! So, am happy to highly recommended Paddy (and sons) to everyone here in Basschat.. 😊 Thanks Paddy and hope that you enjoy the cab ! Nik

    ** Now SOLD** Thanks for looking! 😊 Hi Folks Excellent condition PeaveyMiniMAX™ 500w lightweight Class D bass amp for sale at £SOLD. I bought this from @mxm (Matthew) back in the summer as a back up, but to be honest, I haven't been using it at all, so it's time to move it on. This comes boxed with the Peavey carry case and all the inserts that came with it when it was bought new in Dec 2017. It's a feature-rich piece of kit IMO; built-in tuner, loads of tonal options, very lightweight at 5lbs and very loud indeed.. it certainly holds its own with my Hartke LH500! This has classic bomb-proof Peavey build quality, and stays ultra-cool no matter how long you use it for and that's because of the fan inside it which is on all the time and is, for some people, a bit noisy. It didn't trouble me but I know that it's a deal-breaker for some.. Anyway, here's the official Peavey blurb: https://peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/659/118756 And here's a really informative 41 page thread about the MiniMAX on Talkbass, which I promise you, is not Fake News!: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/peavey-mini-max-head-thread.1050697/ And here's a Basschat thread about the amp: httpsw.basschat.co.uk/topic/285506-nad-peavey-minimax-500-watt-bass-amplifier-head-review/?tab=comments#comment-3055963 Happy to ship within the UK via insured/tracked courier, and anyone who's near to Littlehampton in West Sussex would be very welcome to come and give it a try! Tea/Coffee/Biscuits available of course, along with very friendly Cockerpoo puppy who will demand all if your attention! 😊 Any questions, please ask away here or PM me. Thanks for looking. Nik

    +1 And much smaller in the flesh than you think, making them very portable. GLWTS

    Are you sure about the way that last sentence reads, Pawel? 😁
  11. silverfoxnik
    Love these units! They sound really, really good and are as 'valvy sounding' as it gets .. Quite rare too. 😊 GLWTS
  12. silverfoxnik
    Obviously not, if you keep unearthing basses like this one! 😊

    Fab bass Pawel, Where/how do you keep finding these vintage beauties? Nik

    Thanks yet again Silvia, A brilliant blog and some great photos of a great day.. Not sure what Trevor's complaining about regarding the photos though - he's obviously missed the second one you put up of me where I look like I'm trying to play bass after a triple dose of diazepam! 😁 Anyway, thanks again for putting this together - it really brings back just how fantastic some of the gear was at this Bash and what a good day it was. And as you say, here's to next year's Bash!😊 Nik

    This is a beautiful sounding cab and with the LMIII that Pawel's also selling, it makes for a fabulous, hi-quality and lightweight rig! I'm surprised to see it being moved on so soon Pawel, but it's way to powerful a rig to be sitting around at home not being used. Sorry it hasn't worked out for you as planned but it does mean someone else is going to get a bargain which is no bad thing... GLWTS 😊 Nik

    Very true, Mick! Now, lets get back to talking about this wonderful Mesa rig.. Have a free BUMP Chris. 😊
  17. silverfoxnik
    Thanks Joni, I was only following your equally precise instructions! 😁 Hope you're enjoying the bass... Nik
  18. silverfoxnik
    That's very impressive Chris - you must be on 3 Shredded Wheat a day!! 😁
  19. silverfoxnik
    53 lbs according to the Mesa website, Mick..

    This is such a bargain for a bass of this rarity and quality, let alone that it's got proper British boutique pedigree! GLWTS

    Sold my Schecter to Joni recently in a very pleasant and hassle free transaction. Suffice to say that Joni's been an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish; great communication throughout, fast payment and he even organised the shipping to Hungary via DPD. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Joni again and would highly recommend him to others here on Basschat. Thanks again Joni and I hope you enjoy the bass - she's a really good one! 😊 All the best, Nik

    I have known John a long time here on Basschat, but more in the capacity of trusted/respected Forum member and font of knowledge about many bass related things... Anyway, back in July I sold a Hughes & Kettner Bassbase 600 amp to John which arrived in a terrible state, (no) thanks to UPS and their careless, thoughtless couriers... Turned out that the amp wasn't working properly and the rack case was in absolute bits! To cut a very, very long story short, John - after over 3 months of waiting - is finally in possession of one working Bassbase 600 and a new rack bag, which is great news! To say that he has the 'patience of a saint' would be to do a disservice to John because, as well as possessing that very fine quality, he's also been really understanding about the whole situation, kept in touch and been a pleasure to deal with throughout. So, thank you very much for everything John and for those who haven't dealt with John yet here on Basschat, have no doubts at all because he is an absolute gentleman and a scholar to deal with. Thanks again for your patience John and I hope that you are now getting a chance to enjoy the Bassbase finally. 😊 Nik

    Simply beautiful bass; the grain on the neck is absolutely lovely. I've never owned one of these (sadly) but have heard a couple at the South East Bass Bashes over the years and they do IME, play beautifully and sound fabulous. GLWTS
  24. silverfoxnik
    Wow! Two of the nicest Fender Jazz 5 strings basses I've ever seen in the same post! GLWTS 😊

    Like a few folks here, I've only just got around to listening to a BC Podcast - the second one with the Wal feature - and I really enjoyed it.. 😊 The interview with @TrevorR was excellent; very informative and insightful even for someone like me who already knew a lot of the Wal back story... And well done Trevor for giving Wal, Pete the Fish and now Paul and his team the recognition and praise they richly deserve! Thanks also @Akio Dāku and @Sibob for the rest of the podcast and especially the piece about Dave Hall. I didn't know that Dave had passed away so whilst being very shocked and saddened to hear the news, it was lovely to hear your stories about his excellent products and his even more excellent customer service and the time he spent listening to their needs. RIP Dave. By the way, got to say that in terms of audio quality, the the podcast sounds great! Will go back now and check out the first one and am looking forward to number 3... Nik
