[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1487930255' post='3244184'] I've got a tecamp 810 sitting around.. 37kg, 4 ohm. 2400w RMS..Big wheels and pull bar.. it's a little scruffy but feel free to pm me an offer :-) [/quote] Really????

It's the little touches, like the properly copper taped control cavity, magnetised covers, and the knobs turned from the same wood that makes these boss. When I get back I'll post more picks and sound clips if anyone wants them:)

Hey guys, I've picked up my new bass from Chris and Alex at alpher. Let me start with saying how supremely happy I am with my new instrument (named rose by the missus), and how from design, right the way through to completion the guys ensured I got EXACTLYwhat we discussed and envisaged. I wanted a supremely growly, passive bass, with ebony or a very rich rosewood top and board as my starting point. The bass has a maple body with African Blackwood cap over maple body, and a solid Blackwood neck with custom lumo gel "r" at the 12th. This was after the boys showing me a piece of Blackwood, which is like a super dense ebony, and I was sold .... Wowsers it sings! In true spinal tap fashion you can feel the sustain. It really is like a piano. The boys took on board all my idiosyncrasies and requests and helped my realise the instrument at every step, such as wanting seventies position pups, and the more guitar styled headstock logo arrangement. Tone wise the Aguilar pups and pre really REALLY push, I wanted the growliest, which this bass does supremely, but the tone variety between the pick ups is huge. I looked at a few custom luthiers to build this instrument, including shuker, lull and even popped into the sadowsky shop in NYC, but after meeting up with guys, It was alpher all the way, and I couldn't be happier. (The missus could, because I'm already planning the next one!!!!) P.s, as well as getting my dream bass, I got some new friends too:) R

My Mam is fun at parties. She can drink a pint of Guinness in less than 3 seconds, and get her leg behind her head😛

All very true, and again only playing devils, but rf licenses for frequencies in NYC must be arranged and paid for in advance. We shall never know!

Just playing devils here guys, but i counted at least 6 monitors. (the dancers would need them). To think that the monitor engineer wouldn't have vocals routed to the wedges in case of IEM failure would be absurd! [attachment=235277:mariah.jpg]

I love the chillis, particularly bssm. One of the reasons I play, but did anyone else think the playing and timing on that record is REALLY sloppy?

Basschats very own C Beedster. It's not for me to say why, but believe me, he is in the top 1% Again, cheers mate!

Hey guys, I love the pro steel strings and have used them on most of my basses (after years of Using a particular other brand), and I love the growl I get. The tension is also perfect:) I have a 7 string 35" scale bass that needs restringing and it's a little tricky trying to put a set together. Would you possibly be able to help me out with where to buy a complete set rather than piecing a set together? I like regular gauge, and the bass is tuned f# (low) to c (high) Cheers guys!

And where is the "'Ave a word with a professional" option on the poll?

Shoes come in pairs. So do basses.....
