  1. I had a Peavey BW 115 cab. It fell out of a plane, fell 20,000 ft onto a Mayan temple, tumbled head over heels several times down the steep steps, was run over by a tank, gored by a raging bull rhinoceros, fell off a cliff, landed on rocks at the bottom, fell into the sea AND it was delivered by Hermes. I just mopped it down, plugged in, and it was fine.
  2. Well, had a think, measured and remeasured then sent off for the Artec pups. I reckon they will fit with minimal fettling and be a completely reversible mod if necessary. We'll see if they are an improvement Also got a Hipshot Supertone 2 point bridge on its way whilst I am about it.
  3. £161! I reckon that is a bargain! Edit, not me, I hasten to add.
  4. Or worse, not doing something you should have.
  5. Just to add a counterweight to the depressingly huge numbers of bad stories. I had a bass booked with DPD via Eurosender to go from here in SE Essex to just outside Glasgow. Pickup was Monday 11th. No-one turned up. I sent an email to ask what was going on and got a reply from Eurosender at 11:58 to say they had just been told by DPD that they couldn't do the delivery because the main office for them was in Luxemburg, even though it was going to and from UK addresses. Another Brexit casualty. I then went onto Interparcel and booked TNT. I was surprised to see that, even though it was 13:02, I could still expect same day collection. At 14:02 the chap arrived. 10:02 next day the bass was delivered. Astonishing!
  6. Yes indeed, thank you. Deal is being done
  7. Dr J Sparrow driver and DI. Good bit of kit, decent low budget Sansamp clone, PSU (not included) not battery. I found the drive was very sensitive to attack, which was a nice thing. £40 £30 posted to UK mainland
  8. Lead Foot AB/Y switcher. Passive but has a battery for LED to work. Excellent nick £12 posted to UK mainland
  9. Used TC Spectracomp excellent nick £50 £40 posted to UK mainland
  10. Used Boss LS-2. Good nick £45 posted to UK mainland
  11. Airturn Ped Pro bought new in a rush of blood. Got it set up, used it once. £35 £30 posted to UK mainland
  12. Used Fender Custom '62 Precision bass pickup set. I bought these new, de-soldered the brass shielding plate, fitted into a bass, took them out. Brass plate needs soldering back if, indeed, you need it. Priced to sell at £45 posted to UK mainland
  13. Roberts Bronze acoustic strings 40,60,75,95. Unused. Priced to sell £10 posted to UK mainland
  14. Opened but unused set of la Bella Deep talkin' flats standard gauge 760FS Priced to sell at £25 posted to UK mainland
  15. Set of four Wilkinson tuners Y shape 3/8"shaft black, never fitted, incl. little screws. 2 treble 2 bass Priced to sell at £15 posted to mainland UK
  16. Set of four Hipshot licensed Ultralite tuners Y shape 3/8" shaft (I think HB6Y?) in black, 2 treble 2 bass. Unused, with little screw thingy. Priced to sell at £40 posted to UK mainland.
  17. Chase Crossrock padded gig bag for a Thunderbird bass. When I bought my T-Bird the it was in a hard case but the guy gave me this as well. I've never used it but someone has as every single zip has part of the rubber tag missing! However, the bag itself is in excellent nick. There is a double pocket on the body and a double pocket on the neck. A reinforced foot. Padded back pack straps that have a little pocket in one side. Not the best gig bag you'll ever see but if all you do it take your T-Bird from the car to rehearsal/gigs it is just the job. Priced to sell at £18 posted to mainland UK
  18. Captures that retro vibe perfectly. Edit - you could maybe hinge the scratchplate so when you lift it there is a pop-up cocktail bar!
  19. Hmm. I asked one of the Artec dealers for dimensions. If I had 2mm routed out from the width, took the Maxon cover off and used it with the Artec pickup then it might just squeeze in. But I need to think about whether it it worth it or not.
  20. Right, had a better look and taken some pics. Bridge pickup. Measured it properly A straight drop in for the Artec minbucker. But neck pickup is a completely different size to either the Dimarzio or the Artec mudbucker. Bugger. There is but a single coil inside that box, you can just about see it.
  21. A giant of a bass player. He figured so prominently in so many bands I love.
  22. Will do. I had made a note of the serial number on the back of the neck pickup when I looked first time and it worked out to be a '72 but what was going on with the coil/s I just don't remember
