    1. Hercules guitar / bass stands. I had to get one out of necessity during a phase of gigging my Thunderbird and an old Explorer bass, but just so much more secure than conventional stands, and fold down compact too 2. TI flats. Tried flats and discarded in disgust at various times over the years until I found these. 3. A really decent quality lead. Audible improvement in sound, and no more re-soldering crappy cheap jack plugs. 4. Leffe Brune

    Yup, Kramer were doing this a while ago........ https://reverb.com/uk/item/3560547-kramer-dmz-4000-bass-guitar-metal-neck-half-fretted-half-fretless-from-1979-added-photos edit: oops sorry Happy Jack, mis-read strings as frets.......

    I'd personally regard the setup you've outlined above as more "mid" than "low" most passive basses have pretty pronounced midrange bias - in terms of aggression think Lemmy (Ric through Marshall valve head with mid EQ on max and treble & bass on min.) For active basses; Warwicks are known for midrange growl, but of course an active bass and any modern amp will do pretty much any range you want

    Never seen or heard of these before, but the pickup looks exactly like the bridge p/up on my old mid-'60's Kalamazoo KB1 - I think made by Gibson. Nice rosewood board on this too! Vintage bump

    The neck's a bit too shiny for me......

    Bought a D-tuner off Mick - top BC-er, easy deal, and sent it off well packed straight away -thanks fella!

    Ooh, I recognise that shed, lol! just to clarify; pickup is a Jason Lollar (I imported from the States), pickguard is proper vintage-spec tort nitrocellulose, knobs and p/guard screws were "aged" ones from Madison's, bridge is nickel knurled-barrel BBOT that I was going to age but never got around to. As Chis says; really lovely US Fender neck, and being a lined board the bass looks more authentically early/mid '60's whilst actually being fretless. I actually missed it so much that I built another v similar one!

    I think that's a MK IV not a Phantom, but it's a tempting project.....

    Mesa Walkabout Not everyone likes them, but way better than I expected and IMHO the best mini sized amp there is
  11. Shaggy
    Has to be the biggest bargain on BC right now - a BB750 for Walkabout money??? I've got the Titan V12 which is essentially 2 BB750's and they're sublime and incredibly versatile amps - this paired with geofio's Mesa 4x12 would be an absolute monster......

    Absolutely stunning looking guitar Chris - I'm guessing that MK35 I traded with gave you a taste for the series, but this model looks so much classier. I'll have to see what potential trades I have.......

    Just received a lovely Warwick Corvette FNA from Paul - top BC'er; great comms, sent the bass well packed really quickly - a pleasure to do business with. The Guinness's are on me if I ever get up to Galway mate.....

    Sorry, should have said - yes the 3 bars across the pairs definitely missing in OP pics - you can see them on the pic of Ross Vallory's bass above Ediit - and I'm being thick, as your query to the seller was clearly whether the original circuit has been replaced with a 6-band EQ

    Found another, if Mumbles pier counts as a kind of wall note me secretly fondling my Vox........
  17. Shaggy
    I could be wrong, but I think it was a 3 band with 6 sliders, with one slider of each pair contolling a volume compensation circuit
  18. Shaggy
    I'd definitely agree with that summing up...... You have to respect Roger Daltry for his status in the genre and role in one of rocks greatest bands, but it was a very subjective and sweeping statement for him to make. On the basis that Led Zeppelin are generally regarded as the greatest rock band ever, probably most of their fans would say they had peaked by 1971 - though my personal favourite album of theirs is Presence (1976). And you'd have to say that Robert Plant has evolved as a musician more successfully over recent decades than Roger D

    Ace little gizmos; I've recently upgraded a bitsa with one:.

    On the plus side, it's probably quite lightweight https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BIG-BUTT-004-BASS-made-in-USA/173325816015?hash=item285b0610cf:g:lCgAAOSwJyRalxw2

    This has to be one of the classic ones too -

    Good thread - I hadn't realised before how much of a standard pose it is from about 5 years ago - I'm the beardy one in leather jacket -
  23. Shaggy
    Lovely, and definitely a Magnum II, nice to see its got the original sliding mute too as they're often removed. Worth putting on a repro pickguard to get it back to original spec: http://pickguards.us/priceovation.html. (Sometimes they're available on eBay, but can't see any listed at the moment)

    What a fab bass - I remember seeing these advertised in a guitar mag ages ago (late '70's?) and thinking at the time what an attractive and unusual looking bass it was. Never seen one in the flesh, so can believe they're rare. I wonder if the design inspired Pedulla ? I don't think GAS has any logic to it at all - I found the bass tone I wanted years ago (Ovation Magnum 1 fretless through an old Eden VT.40) but it hasn't stopped me trading at least 20 basses and amps since......
