  1. [quote name='ChunkyMunky' timestamp='1507146562' post='3383638'] Bump for jhk. Lovely chap to deal with! [/quote] +1 Great cabs too! GLWTS Jon 😊
  2. Watched it today and it's a really good documentary.. Amazing how many of their tunes I actually knew but this programme introduced me to a fair number of others I don't know - later works mostly - and they were great! Some nice shots of Colin playing a black Wal Pro too. 😊 Well worth watching, not least for the fact that Andy Partridge is a really interesting and funny guy.
  3. +1 to all of the above words of wisdom.. And like bassbiscuits, I wish I'd known when I started playing as a 15 year old kid how much music and bass-playing would become a cornerstone of my life. If I had done, I'd have treated the learning aspects of playing bass a lot more seriously when I was younger as it would have been so much easier to learn stuff then!
  4. [b][size=4][font=arial, sans-serif]*** NOW SOLD - Thanks for looking! ***[/font][/size][/b] [size=4][font=arial, sans-serif]Hi Folks[/font][/size] [font=arial, sans-serif]A recent bass purchase means I'm trying to balance the books and, as a result, I now have this [/font][b]Genz Benz NX2 212-T[/b] [b]Neo[/b][font=arial, sans-serif] [b]600 watts 4 ohm Cab[/b] + [/font][b]Roqsolid cover[/b][font=arial, sans-serif] for sale at [/font][b]£SOLD[/b][font=arial, sans-serif] or near offer, plus p&p.[/font] [size=4][font=arial, sans-serif][attachment=255197:Genz front good.jpg] [/font][attachment=255198:Genz front in cover.jpg][/size] [size=4][font=arial, sans-serif][b]Reason for selling etc..[/b][/font][/size] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]I bought this in August 2015 from Hamfist and then sold it to chimike 3 months later when I went down a valve amp route and bought an Ampeg rig. [/size][size=4]Less than 6 months ago, I bought it back from Mike so I would have a lightweight cab in my kit bag. [/size][size=4]However, I'm just not gigging enough these days and whenever I do, it's with my Ampeg rig. So, in short, this is something that's not being used and if I can sell it here, then I won't have t sell my Schecter Diamond P5 bass that's currently for sale, which I think I'd rather keep..[/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4][b]Sound[/b][/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]This is very subjective obviously, but IMHO it's a fantastic sounding cab that sounds great with my solid state Hughes & Kettner Bassbase 600 head, my Ampeg V4BH valve head and also with the Eden WT-400 head that I've just sold to geoff90guitar.[/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]One of the reasons I bought it originally was because I heard it was pretty much bomb-proof, and that's been my take on it so far - it can handle pretty much whatever you throw at it and it sounds great for pure bass tone but also with effects, like octave pedals, auto-wah, distortion etc.. Also, I bought it because it's lightweight at 47lbs and very easy to move around.. I also like the fact that it's quite a tall cab, so you can hear yourself more easily.. [/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]At the South East Bash last month, Davey Rimmer used one of these to demo some Uriah Heep songs in his workshop and it sounded great paired with a GK800 head and Davey's Warwick. Here's a link to TrevorR's film of it in action:[/size][/size][/font] [url="https://www.facebook.com/trevorraggatt/videos/a.10155422501035860.1073741856.705595859/10155422504560860/?type=3&theater"]https://www.facebook...?type=3[/url] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4][b]Photos, condition.[/b]. [/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=4]Here's link to some photos of the cab: [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][url="https://flic.kr/s/aHsm5kaGee"]https://flic.kr/s/aHsm5kaGee[/url][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]The cab is in good condition as you can see in the photos, but it's been used and as a result, it isn't mint. I'd say a 7.5 out of 10..[/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4][b]Spec, reviews etc[/b][/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]Full spec can be found here: - [url="http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2909&sid=725&cid=96"]http://www.genzbenz....&sid=725&cid=96[/url][/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]Ed 'The Bass Whisperer' Friedland's very good review of the cab is worth a look at:[url="https://youtu.be/5BrLRqcXZ5g"]https://youtu.be/5BrLRqcXZ5g[/url] [url="https://youtu.be/5BrLRqcXZ5g"]https://youtu.be/5BrLRqcXZ5g[/url][/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]And there's some useful discussion (see quote below) on these cabs here on Talkbass: [url="http://www.talkbass./"]h[/url][url="http://www.talkbass.com/threads/genz-benz-nx2-212t.929725/"]http://www.talkbass....x2-212t.929725/[/url][/size][/size][/font] [i][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]"..Amazing cabinet. I borrowed it from a good friend for two big gigs. I had the opportunity to use it on a rather large stage with a Streamliner 900. You wouldn't believe the volume and tone this thing has for such a small light box. The next day used the cabinet with an Ampeg SVT 3 head and it was even more amazing. The gig was outdoors with a rock band and volume wasn't an issue. Nice tight bottom end. I use a 1976 P Bass with La Bella Flat Wounds. The cabinet was able to produce a nice vintage tone. I'm also getting older and weight is a big issue for me. At 47 lbs, your back will be thanking you at the end of the night. I have luggage that weighs more than this when I go to Thailand every summer. Definitely going to pick one up soon. They're not cheap but well worth it."[/size][/size][/font][/i] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4][b]Shipping, trades etc[/b] This is sale only I'm afraid... And as for shipping, o[/size][size=4]bviously, I'd prefer this was collected. having said that, I am happy to courier it if you're too far away to come and collect. But, I won't ship unless you're prepared to pay the additional £10 or so that it usually costs to insure these items up to the right value - it's just not worth the risk.[/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]But if you are reasonably local and would like to come and try it out, then please PM me to arrange.. Tea/Coffee/Biscuits in plentiful supply of course...[/size][/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]Thanks for looking and [/size][/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif]If you've any more questions, please ask away here or send me a PM.

  5. Location/Venue: Upstairs at The Nightingale Pub, Wood Green, London. 2nd August, 1978. Your age: 'I was just 17...' Your bass: Hondo Rickenbacker 4001 copy, bought by my mum from Kay's catalogue in 1977. I still have it.. Your amp: Can't remember exactly, but I think it was a Carlsbro Stingray 100w head and a home made cab of some description. The set list (some of it): All original songs.. a set of dystopian ditties about cloning, nuclear war, the winter of discontent and other such cheery late 70s topics. Anything else that might be funny/interesting/embarrassing: Just the hair, the clothes and the make up! Actually, the Nightingale pub was a venue played at by a lot of upcoming bands and artists over the years, including Roxy Music, Vinegar Joe, UFO. For those that might be interested, there's some more info about it and another Wood Green music venue called The Fishmongers Hall here: http://www.bowesandbounds.org/m/blogpost?id=6278630%3ABlogPost%3A46792
  6. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1475655076' post='3147615'] Just bought an Eden amp from Geoff and can only echo the comments in the previous 2 posts.. Very friendly to deal with, super fast delivery, great packaging, and of course, a brilliant sounding amp! So I'm more than happy.. Many thanks Geoff! [/quote] Well, that's what I said exactly a year ago today and the great thing is, it still holds true this year! Only difference is that it's the other way around now in that, I've sold Geoff his Eden amp back! What a weird lot we are here on Basschat.. 😁 Great to deal with you again Geoff and thanks for being such an easy person to deal with! See you again this time next year... 😉 Nik
  7. Great idea! Will check that out and look forward to seeing it in full at some point.. 😊
  8. For those that have PM'd me, the Schecter weighs just shy of 4 kilos on my scales..
  9. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1507044466' post='3382991'] That's nice [/quote] Thanks 😊 Plays and sounds as nice as it looks too...
  10. Tuesday BUMP 😊 And just to say, all PMs replied to..
  11. I can already see the online petition being started up on this one, Gary! 😁
  12. Cheers chaps! Will let you know how I get on and yes, it's a rosewood board.. Nik
  13. [quote name='prowla' timestamp='1506891431' post='3381880'] You definitely win the prize for the best custom guitars there (a red squirl and a pretzel is how I would describe them) - you need to post pictures up! (And thanks for letting me use your rack space... ) [/quote] +1 It's a really distinctive bass, isn't it.. I heard it in action at a gig locally about a year ago and it sounded really good too...
  14. Hi Folks Picked up a Gibson Thunderbird on Friday and - apart from it being a great sounding and fun bass to play - it needs a bit of a clean, especially the neck which is a bit gunky around the frets etc. What are your suggestions for the best products and ways of doing that job as quickly and safely as possible? Many thanks Nik
  15. Here's a link to some better photos of the Schecter: [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHsm66RCWb"]https://flic.kr/s/aHsm66RCWb[/url] Like this one below... [attachment=254694:Schecter Full Length.jpg]
  16. Can't believe it's been over a week already since the Bash... Still buzzing from it actually - it was a good one!
