    Lobster just did a review of this model and it came off very well indeed. This has a really pretty finish. GLWtTS

    Had a proper conversation with the guitarist. He was very understanding - he's known for a long time that the band wasn't my vibe BUT we're going to do a few open mics as a sort of accoustic duo with him switching between guitar and keys and I can break out the fretless! We do vocalise well so it' ought to be fun...

    Hiya. Curious why this has popped up again from 2023…

    They are really good! I used to run one with a CMD121 combo and that made an astounding rig. 500w and you could carry half in each hand!

    I hope Dr Showbiz helps you out...

    UPDATE.... I've been trying to play those runs in Immigrant Song with a pick for years. Pretty much every day I've done Ionian on A, Ionian on B and Myxalydian on C and today I got soooo close to being able to play them at full speed along with JPJ! Gaaaah! I'm within touching distance! Seriously though, it's been years getting to this point and I know if I keep plugging at it I'll get there.

    Well... slightly off-topic but still, a bit on. Anyway. The guitarist in one of my bands (a 3 piece - guitar/drums/bass) flat-out asked me if I was still into it and I had to say that I'm really not. I was meant to be going a rehearsal on Tuesday but he's asked to have a chat with me this weekend instead. Truth is, I find it really hard to work with the drummer as she's inconsistent with tempo, very loud too, focused on fills instead of getting the basic beat right and the two of the start fast and speed up. If I was into the material I'd try and work with them but I'm not enjoying the songs - the angular alt-punk thing grates on me after a few numbers. I feel really bad as I enjoy spending time with both but the beers after are much more fun than the music bit. Urgh. This bit of playing music sucks....

    PRICE DROP TO £249!!! It's small, it's light, it's loud and you can do a proper gig with it! I've had this for a few years and it's never had any trouble keeping up with any drummer and even done a good job in a medium-sized pub. I've taken these specs from the Thomann site: New York 121 1 x 12" loudspeaker Piezo tweeter 400 Watt @ 8 Ohm Frequency range: 45 - 18,000 Hz Weight: 13.3 kg (less than 29lb)for people who think in pints and stones Dimensions (WxHxD): 383 x 432 x 358 mm and you can find reviews here https://www.thomann.co.uk/markbass_new_york_121.htm and here https://www.andertons.co.uk/markbass-new-york-ny121-1x12-bass-cab/ Condition is pretty darn good. Sounds spot-on, the fuzzy covering is in lovely nick (I'm not going to pretend its from a pet-free home but it's avoided any attention from the cat due to being kept under it's lovely sunggly cover for it's life with me when not use). The tweeter works too. I am very, very happy to demo it at mine in New Cross, London SE14, or I'll bring it to you when I'm in work near Euston but it's heavy enough to be annoying carrying it so when I've taken it to gigs I've wheeled it behind me on a trolley (I've done a few with my rig and bass coming with me on the London underground or a bus). I am perfectly happy to post it as I've got plenty of packing materials and it's a sturdy little thing. I'm not really looking for trades as I've got more basses than I have space for, I dont need an amp or cabs - again, no space really - and I'm covered when it comes to pedals. I would take a high quality power block as a trade in though, one that has proper discrete supplies and can power at least one 500ma item. Maybe a slightlly bigger pedal board thing - the one I've got is diddy. Any questions please reach out and I'll be happy to help.

    I bought from James - great to deal with. Superb transaction from start to finish with great comms, well packaged item and it arrived super-quick. Thanks!

    I got this bundled with something else and have no need for it. I've never used so no idea how good/bad it is but it's cheap, comes with a cable and clip for a stand and I'll be happy to post it if you pay the postage. Onsale for £19.99 at Andertons https://www.andertons.co.uk/ordo-d10-dynamic-vocal-mic/?msclkid=04ebe81098721a3c9c91813d2808131e&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=AMC | Smart Shopping | Full Catalogue&utm_term=2324161424030427&utm_content=Ad group %231 I work in Central London so happy to hand over somewhere in zone 1, ideally near Euston/Russel Sq or heading south to Waterloo. Yes. I'd consider swaps for something interesting under a tenner!

    I don't think that basses suffer from the same collector/invester interest as guitars. That insane multi-million pound tier of golen-era Les Pauls or Strats, or guitars with rock credentials, I don't feel that basses get it in quite the same way and as you can see above - if a player is after a vintage bass for a very specific kind of work then they can find one at a reasonable price if they can make some compromises, say, refinished and some parts not original. There are enough "players" instruments out there that I think we're pretty well served and the prices tend to be relatively consistent...ish. Sure, some things come into fashion, but it's not like per Ernie Ball Stingrays have gone from being £1000 ten years ago to £10,000 today. They're worth more, but they were always high-quality desirable instruments, they're just a bit more valuable now. Anyone speculating on collectible basses as investments is gambling, but at least if you buy a '66 Precision and it loses 20% of its value... you'll still own an incredible instrument!

    He played a Spector on Madonna’s Like A Prayer so… I mean… in terms of big hits!
