  1. There were a few Ibanez models in the late 70’s and 80’s which shared parts and were highly thought of. Guessing the timbers and quality would have defined the range. There was a Roadster, a Roadstar and the Blazer. I’m sure people know a lot more about the range, but I believe the Blazer sat on the top and I bought this one as I love the red & Maple, brass fittings, unusual heart shaped tuners and it has a lovely deep smooth tone.
  2. Reduced to £410 Any interest or offers? Could be in Bristol Thursday 15th & Wednesday 21st
  3. Available to view / play in Bath area this weekend
  4. Ibanez Blazer made in Japan bass in beautiful red. Mahogany with maple neck. Fantastic sustain and huge tone recent luthier set up. Lovely original condition with a couple of dinks from being put onto a stand, but nothing that affects use or play. Rare to see original brass knobs. Based Ivybridge Devon for pick up and test drive, or give me a shout if you want to get courier pick up.
  5. Recently joined the family. Loads of fun and I’m getting used to the short scale. Punchy sound in omg, if there is any such thing as too much?
  6. Not bad … but ….
  7. Nice one, thanks. Looks like another option. Yes, I thought about upgrading the bridge and pup on the Bronco, but then that does give other options for price.
  8. Looking for a cheap lightweight short scale bass. Any recommendations? Harley Benton PB Shorty for £74 delivered seems amazing for a new bass. Squier Bronco in Red for £141 delivered. Is it twice as good? Gretsch Junior Jet secondhand maybe a bit more pricey, but seem to be very highly regarded. I can’t seem to find weights anywhere and Thomann’s won’t weigh or give weight information. Any advice appreciated
  9. T.bone LC97 found in Tho site for £17 looks like the ticket. Anyone tried one?
  10. Love my HD280s but I get sweaty ears sometimes so change to pods. Am talking with friends about getting a Yamaha AG03 for use with Jamulus. Getting a mic and stand just for talking seems overkill as we have a very small house, so I was thinking of non over earphones with a boom mic. So questions are; Are over ear better at masking internet latency effect? Do you get headphones with XLR plug for mic input, but 3.5 jack for output? Any advice or recommendations welcome
  11. Get your rocks off - primal scream .....oops .... too slow
  12. Going Underground - The Jam
  13. Just tantalisingly out of my reach 😖 absolute beauty
  14. I think I meant Black Beauties Stew, but consirable cost upgrade in comparison to the bass 😂😂
  15. There may be trouble ahead 🙃 set of DR Black Magics would just set it on fire I reckon
  16. £99! I mean Really???? https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pb_20_sbk_standard_series.htm That is amazing value. Anyone have a PB20? Good / Bad / Ugly?
  17. The Captain was an excellent horseman in a previous life ...
  18. Stand / travel bass
  19. In my limited experience it’s the twangy bits and pups that make the most difference, so a bit of investment in better quality (or hotter) pickups and choice of strings (not necessarily new) can make major differences. Then amp quality! 2006 Squier Affinity Precision bought for £50 has taught me lots about setup and modification and now sports SD QP’s, Copper foiled cavity, Hi mass bridge, CTS pots and switchcraft jack. Retained original strings temporarily so I could register the change in tone.
