    Someone is going to get a total bargain here but I have got serious G.A.S. for a 300w Ashdown Valve Amp, and they are currently on sale on PMT and also there is a very nice BTA 300 in Ashdowns Warehouse clearance , so, am putting these up for sale to make room/funds! May well regret it as this is the best sounding amp I have ever played, and I'm losing money on it, but the valve thing is an itch I need to scratch! Ashdown sold a B - Stock head like this for £499 recently on their clearance sale, with no case, cab/cover or footswitch, so this is a great opportunity for someone. Everything is less than 12 months old, and have probably only done about 20 gigs and as many rehearsals, and are virtually as new. Comes complete with FS4 footswitch and all necessary leads. Collection only form Chelmsford Essex or could meet at a sensible distance. May also consider splitting but would rather they go together.

    As some of you will have seen so have a custom Zoot on the way so thinning the herd a bit to raise some funds! This is a really fantastic bass, but just not getting the play it deserves and is really just a piece of wall art - albeit a very pretty one and almost happy to keep it just to look at it! It's a 30 inch scale semi hollow that was factory reliced and looks the business. This is one that had the metal bridge instead of the plastic ones which just look so much better. I am the second owner, the first was an Insurance Broker from Surrey who had it as part of a 30 bass collection. I bought to use in a blues band but to be honest I just default to my P Bass most of the time. Fantastic condition, nice action and ready to go. Looks like it still has the original strings on it, was going to change them out for flats but it sounded really good as it was so left them on. Comes with a padded gig bag. Collection only from Chelmsford, Essex.

    That's interesting! If that works that sounds easier than spray adhesive.

    Hi All. Am considering replacing the carpet on one of my amps with Tolex, perhaps with something custom. I know there are some YouTube videos showing the process, but wondered if anyone could recommend suppliers, glues etc in the UK and if anyone had any top-tips? Many thanks!

    Indeed. I was really tempted but it's 32" scale 4 string and I really want a 34" 5 string!

    Hi All, Am new to the Forum but I have just ordered a custom 5 string Zoot Funkmeister from Mike Walsh so thought I'd document the progress here! It's my 40th Birthday present to myself, and can't wait to see it start taking shape. Spec is: Body: Funkmeister shape in American swamp ash, Bookmatched flame maple top with high gloss sunburst finish. Leo Quan Badass bridge with string through. Jazz style Tort Scratch plate and chrome control plate and hardware. Neck and Fingerbaord: Canadian Rock Maple, Black blocks inlays and binding. 47mm nut width, 3+2 headstock, Warwick MK1 Brass Just-A-Nut. Electrics: Aguilar AG-5J-70 pick ups. Klaus Noll 3 band EQ with Parametric mid, Bass, treble, pickup blend and active/passive options. 18vdc via a Gotoh 18vdc double quick change battery box. We may make some tweaks to that as we progress, but thats the starting point. Mike is pretty busy at the moment but hoping it will be ready before the end of the year. Thankfully I am only about 15 minutes from Mike's workshop so will be able to pop in regularly. Updates to follow...

    Andertons have quite a few Sire V7's on sale at the moment at the sub £400 mark. I have 2 of these (one fretless) and I think I they are amazing for the money. There's a choice of colours and necks, the 18v active electronics are great but you also have passive switching, and they are really well put together. Certainly worth a look.

    Hi All, Finally joined this forum having browsed on and off for a few years. Have been playing for 20 years since I was 19, had a few years off gigging while the kids were young but have been getting back into playing in a big way in the past 2 years or so. I reach the big 4.0. this year so planning on getting something special to mark the occasion, hopefully a custom built 5 string, but more on that later. Might use the classifieds to thin the herd a bit to help raise some funds, but in the meanwhile look forward to getting involved! All the best, Matt
