  1. Spot on deal with Cal, no issues... even recommends cracking eateries when your visiting.
  2. I wouldn't think that your bass has a 2 way rod especially with a nut on a threaded rod.
  3. You get one and two way rods; 1 way rods counter string tension and takes relief out when you tension/tighten it (tightening is 'usually' clockwise BUT sometimes is counterclockwise). 2 way rods have a mid -point and depending on whether you turn one way or the other it can add/subtract relief. I'm discounting necks with 2 parallel rods. If you know what you are doing and you don't go daft, sometimes you need to apply relief into the neck with pressure before tensioning the truss rod BUT you'll need to be sure which way your rod is operating!
  4. Very true and when I first used Transferwise I was very wary and kept looking for the catch; they weren't making enough money out of my transfer and sadly that made me suspicious... we expect to be scr3wed when using fiscal institutions.
  5. That's true but as someone who has fallen foul of unscrupulous buyers (not on BC) buying, paying PP then claiming money back as item wasn't as described (PP always find for the buyer), I'd not accept PP as a payment means! BTW in my case the item was returned to me but it WASN'T the item I posted to the buyer (I assume they had a broken one, bought mine and sent their broken one back) but I've heard of various ways that PP can be turned against a seller.
  6. No buyer or seller protection. I's just a simple money transfer system.
  7. Also used Transferwise with no hassle and WAY cheaper than PP or bank charges.
  8. I don't think they can lack in pure volume but the actual tone may not suit everyone (hides behind barricade and raises hand).
  9. Childhood heroes passing away... a sure sign of ageing! RIP
  10. I'm assuming these are hand selected woods, do you know if it is significantly lighter than a standard bass (generally a bit over 4kg)?
  11. Be interested to know how the neck bow panned out if it was a BCer.
  12. 'Slight bow in the neck' - could be absolutely normal relief and he doesn't realise, might need a truss rod tweak but worst case scenario he knows about stuff like this and he is being upfront and warning of a neck issue! You pays your money...
  13. Awful! Will post and watch in the NE but wouldn't expect this to travel too far from where it was stolen.
  14. Oooops just seen... it's 10w + 10w RMS... clever for a mono amp.
  15. Ask yourself if you really think a Chinese, budget made hi-fi amp with phono connectors is A) going to put out 1000w RMS and B) sound as good as your Crown.
  16. Wouldn't go to a gig without mine.
  17. Yeah, you're not going to mistake that bass for a generic Fender! As others have said, I force myself to ALWAYS put gear back in the house after gigging (even if I am gigging Fri/Sat/Sun), I've heard way too many times of gear being stolen. It only needs a scroat to see you carrying a gigbag/case into your house late at night, to wonder if it is worth popping your car/van window out and seeing what's in the boot/back.
  18. I've used Sansamp into 1x10 RCF powered speaker (my own vocal monitor for gigs) for quiet(ish) rehearsals and the overall tone is great, the only limitation is the cabinet driver's ability to reproduce the bottom end. I'd think a 12 or 15" powered monitor/cab/wedge would be far better.
  19. I've got one of these and I'd not sell it that cheap!
  20. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You can't go there on this thread. 😝
