    Craig bought my Zoom B2.1u in the simplest of sales. Good coms, cash on collection. A pleasure doing business, Sir, cheers! Paul

    Bump for price drop down to just £175. More Jangle per pound than any other guitar!!

    I bought a Boos pedal from Chris at a reasonable price in what is one of the smoothest and quickest transactions I have had on here. A pleasure doing business, sir.

    Or a Musicman SUB and buy my Peavey Microbass amp for £20... shameless plug...

    [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1326156630' post='1493234'] I've no idea. I complain about everything I play and what other people with me play as well. I get frustrated when I play with much better musicians but there is some sort of weird "danger" buzz going on at the same time. I get frustrated when I play with people below my level. I've been looking for a band that doesn't exist in my world for the last 10 years. I don't compose as I have nothing to offer that would come up to my expectations. But, I still do it. [/quote] That pretty well sums it up for me, too. In one of my bands I feel I am the weak link and I have to constantly work at my edge to keep up - it is very rewarding. In the other I am coasting, but it is fun and they are a great bunch of blokes. Both have their annoyances! All I know is that, after abandoning guitar playing when I left Uni. in the late 70s, I came back to into it via bass late in life and it felt like suddenly a small piece of my soul that had been missing all those years had finally fallen back into place. Despite the frustrations I have a lot of lost time to make up, I am hungry to do and try as much as I can, and will keep on going until my health fails. Which, the way I feel this morning, is next Friday!

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1325099496' post='1479886'] I bought a set of these, and simply used self-tappers to screw them onto the cab. I`m not Mr DIY by any stretch, but they`re not coming off of there any time soon. I`ve never had to re-tighten the screws either. Being large and made of rubber, they skim across gravel car-parks, no trouble. They have the advantage too, of two of them being lockable, so the cab doesn`t move about on stage.

It was never a problem over uneven ground.

    On impulse I recently bought one of these on eBay for just £72 - single pickup, active with 3 band eq, skinny neck, lightweight - I didn't think I could go wrong for that money. Very little about them on the internet and never seen one mentioned on here. I picked it up last night from where I had it delivered. Big surprise - it is very nice! I was expecting it to be much the same as my old Milestone III (but active) but it seems a level or two better. The neck, in particular, is very nice indeed and it has a half-decent Gotoh-style bridge. Not tried it at volume but straight out of the box at practice levels it seems ok with a decent enough range of sounds available from the eq, single pup notwithstanding. Has anyone fiddled with one of these in past - would there be an easy mod such a s a pup upgrade that anyone could recommend?

    Bump for price drop
  14. Paul S
    Bump for an excellent price on the Dunlop wah pedal.
  15. Paul S
    And to the top
  16. Paul S
    Stupidly cheap price, too.

    My gig last night totally summed up why I do this. Travelled 75mins to a small pub in Suffolk, set up in a tiny corner, played to a crowd of 20. 50 would have filled the space. There was an immediate connection and although there weren't many people they all engaged from the off, singing along and dancing. There was a huge buzz and energy - we got called for 3 encores. Left with £40 in my pocket which covered the fuel to get there, paid for my meal and a little bit left over. I love it - to do something I really enjoy doing with a bunch of blokes I get on with, make a group of people happy for a night AND get some money? That's enough for me.

    They are going to do all that in a month? Never believe builders' time estimates!

    If it were me, with your budget I'd keep your existing ABM head for now and buy a Barefaced cab. Alex will advise you which is best but I don't think you can go wrong with a Compact. That immediately solves the weight problem as 13kg for a head isn't a back breaker. Then upgrade the head as and when you have more funds. I think the choice of amp is so subjective that you would be best advised to try as many as you can. I had a shortlist of heads I wanted to try, with the Orange Terror Bass being the #1 contender and with no intention of trying a Genz Benz 6 as I didn't think I would like it. When I tried them, I didn't like the OTB yet was blown away by the clarity of the GB. In the end I favoured the warmer sounds of the TC Classic 450 - very impressed with the tubetone and compressor - but another person could easily think the opposite.

    If the IEC extensions are for a regular kettle lead type thing (showing my ignorance here), can I take one of the 3m ones, please? I will PM you.

    Built 90s, I think, but hardly any wear. I bought this completely on whim about a year ago, played it very occasionally at home and used once at a rehearsal for a particular track that was later abandoned - it has sat gathering dust ever since. The guy I got it from bought it for a project, after which he didn't touch it - so it has had very little use and consequently in extremely good nick. I will take pics in the fullness of time but list it at the moment to test the water. This is a Korean re-issue - I asked about them on here when it came up for sale and the consensus was that these are much better quality than the Chinese ones. I even have a spare set of strings! [s]I paid £200 and that is what I am asking - it is worth all of that and more.[/s] NOW JUST £175 TO SHIFT IT. Collection from South Benfleet in Essex or postage at cost Until I sort out some pics here is an image nicked off the internet - it is exactly like this:

    I bought this a few years ago, no longer use it. No frills, no issues - decent enough practice amp. I can take pics if anyone really wants them but it is almost unmarked. [s]£25 [/s] [s]£20[/s] £15 plus £10 postage or collected from South Benfleet. Now sold. thanks!

    [s]I bought the Dunlop and Big Muff on here recently - orginal thread and pics here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/155888-sold-105q-bass-wah-and-ehx-bbm/page__pid__1409334#entry1409334"]http://basschat.co.u...34#entry1409334[/url] Why I had GAS for a wah pedal is beyond me but it will never get used. Anyway, nice and white Dunlop 105Q wah pedal. Adjustable for degree of wahness and all sorts of things. Bits of velcro on the bottom. Boxed with all the clobber, good nick (and around £100 new!), £45 posted.[/s] [size=2][s]The EHX Bass Big Muff was fine when I got it but has since developed a fault - when switched on it makes a whining noise. Absolutely no idea what causes it but I don't have the expertise to repair it. Someone who does can get themselves a bargain at £20 posted. [/s][/size]SOLD [size=2][s]Zoom B2.1u is in good nick, with box, power supply, instructions and I think I still have the Cubase CD. No issues. I decided individual pedals would suit me better as I couldn't get my head around programming the thing. £55 posted.[/s][/size] SOLD pending usual [size=2]Zoom 708 multi FX - decided to keep this for 'emergencies'.[/size] Or, of course, collected from South Benfleet in Essex if you happen to be passing for £5 less on each. ALL SOLD!!

    Washburn Vulture bass on eBay, through neck, original hard case. This is probably 79/81-ish and top quality bit of kit. Matsumoku or Yamaki. Too heavy for me but deserves a good home.
