    My first conversation with Dave was similar, but I knew I was talking to an expert and a passionate one so not a problem. But we get so used to corporate waffle from PR departments these days that the occasional bit of straight talking from the coal face can be quite refreshing

    Two almost new units that were my backup units for recording and processing podcasts on the road. That line of work has pretty much dried up so I now run everything through an x8p installed in my desk. Both bought from Anderton's, will be sent in original packaging (also in perfect condition), with paperwork etc. Solo £300 https://www.andertons.co.uk/universal-audio-apollo-solo-heritage-edition-usb-audio-interface/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20740063870&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUr5U6OxBzq2jeT6MEq03blQy&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpuyB0PrskgMV65tQBh3WOzOKEAQYASABEgI0i_D_BwE Satellite £450 https://www.andertons.co.uk/universal-audio-uad2-satellite-thunderbolt-3-octo-core/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20509568582&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUrVHyU_JSGA9TApJlT9AkQrc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIweShhvrskgMVOpRQBh1hmyAAEAQYASABEgIrRfD_BwE Insured courier will be around £15 each 👍

    Love it 👍
  4. Beedster
    Buy a cheap body and bridge and keep it at tension 👍

    That they appear happy to fix things that were bought used and therefore likely well out of warranty, to do so with no charge, and then suck up the courier fees as they did with me and have dome for others, is frankly extraordinary. Comparison with businesses who do exactly the opposite, either refusing to accept a unit as faulty - "that whistling sound is normal for this class of amplifier" (mention no names), to meet warranty terms, or quoting bank-breaking fees for repairs - makes it even more so. There will always be exceptions hence my note to @Minininjarob above, but to quote Melody Maker from the mid 70's "Even Stevie Nicks must have the occasional bad day". Whether you like what they produce, brands like Ashdown, Status, Trace, Wal etc are national treasures 👍

    Beauty, too few builders use the classic SC PUPs in anything other than 51 RIs or derivatives (although Alpha do it very nicely), and it's a lovely sound 👍

    ….and of course if you installed a pair of Dimarzio model Ps in there the adjustable pole pieces would have it covered anyway 👍

    Love that the word 'precision' is on the front page 🤣
  9. Beedster
    That's great advice, especially the bit about describing you as a bassist who moved to China (and one with a well documented fascination with and knowledge of graphite necks) as opposed to just another manufacturer. Good luck with it all @Kiwi

    Well, you did hijack a thread originally posted to praise a company that around 99% of people would say are 100% outstanding (Sex Panther reference there), criticised them for not helping although Dave did suggest a workaround albeit one that you rejected, then suggested that without another fix your friend's only amp is going in the bin because the fan being on all the time would not work for bedroom practice (despite the fact they can't afford a replacement), then mentioned he uses it for gigs also. My solution would be the same as Dave's; wire the fan on all the time, live with it for bedroom practice, and have a gig-worthy amp. Certainly far better than binning it or damaging it attempting repair. Either way, as Andy @agedhorse said, good luck. And I honestly would be very surprised to find that if you picked up the phone to Ashdown you didn't get a solution, given my experience with them and that of many others, it sounds like you either caught them on a bad day or there was a misunderstanding of some sort 👍

    Could I take the tort?
  12. Beedster
    Calling @agedhorse There’s a TT for sale on here also 👍
  13. Beedster
    We've done very small gigs with one but I'd recommend two, and it's really not a lot of extra gear (two small rucksack-sized bags)
  14. Beedster
    Was wondering why the hell anyone would need two of these things at the same time
  15. Beedster
    Ha ha, they're actually CTM-30s out of their case
  16. Beedster
    In fact, he appears to have two of them..........
  17. Beedster
    Lovely performance and especially lovely basswork 👍
  18. Beedster
    Who did you speak to?
  19. Beedster
    Can I take that 👍
  20. Beedster
    After all the shit of the last few years - not just Eurovision but everything - could this be the turning point......?
  21. Beedster
    Thanks Martin, congrats on the gig, must admit I've never seen anyone gigging one of these, given how few of them are out there I imagine it's quite a rare sighting 👍
  22. Beedster
    Given SKB are bombproof would you post Pete, if so I’d defo take it?
  23. Beedster
    Really enjoyed that 👍
  24. Beedster
    Trades......?
  25. Beedster
    Sadly and with apologies to the BCer concerned I wasn't able to go ahead with the trade deal on this so it remains available. I think I might pop it up to one of the midlands shops on consignment sale soon as it's the location/collection/delivery thing that seems to make this a bit of a challenge to sell, certainly from the wilds of East Kent 👍
