    Welcome @Dune, nice basses 👍
  3. Beedster
    Bought it, love it, but not really a 'me' bass. I'd love a BC member who's passionate about either Entwistle, The Who, or Status to have this bass, but if not it'll go to a shop on consignment sale (at the £2,500 Basschat price I'm taking a bit of a hit on what it owes me). I'm happy to talk trades/PX but would certainly prefer cash. If the former, I'm looking for a biggie by Mesa; 400, Prodigy/Strategy, Titan etc, but could have arm twisted by other aesthetically pleasing music/audio gear, you know how I roll I won't waste your time with a lengthy description, anyone interested in buying this knows the score. I'd welcome tryouts chez Beedster, and am happy to post worldwide. I'll take some detailed photos over the next couple of days. There's still a minor issue with the switchable mid pot to be resolved but apparently it's an easy fix and I will get that done There's a thread about it that veers off into Cold War bombers Basschat style. As I mentioned, the circuit issues are largely resolved now

    As you've probably realised mate, it's like the old 'gentlemen prefer blondes but marry brunettes' thing, I love vintage Fenders, but always end up letting them go to be replaced by some mongrel I've pulled together from spare parts

    Could I take those please David?

    So how about a few of use get together and organise something, we have a lot of regional events, how about a national one? I'll help in any way I can and will donate a couple of Fenderish bitsas to auction to help cover costs?

    Is it available to watch for those of us who missed it Mike?
  8. Beedster
    Pretty much every Mesa amp also 👍

    Well, they certainly didn't on mine. I took it to a tech - a member here - to look at and we decided in cutting and installing a new nut to keep the G string on the board and to get it closer to the pole pieces, which is far from ideal on a bass at that price point. OK, this was a fair while back (2010ish) and I imagine they got on top of it, but I remember at the time there were a few people here and on TB said they'd had similar issues. But yes, they are otherwise beautifully designed and engineered instruments, it always seemed very odd that despite the evident quality in 99% of the instrument, that more than a few of them had this issue.

    Could I take that @bloke_zero 👍
  11. Beedster
    Nice 👌

    John, what would we do without you mate 🙏 I kinda had had that gut instinct, but was wanting to sense check it. Yes the Satellites were better to look at than they were to play or listen to, but I hoped there was a chance this was a step up! I think the J-PUP fooled me 😆 Many thanks mate 🙏

    Offers before it goes to eBay/Reverb?

    Just used this as a passive 1x15 from my Ampeg PF50T and it's a rather impressive cab in it's own right

    It’s all bollocks guys, really 👍

    Andy, I get the sense that we need an event to remember Nick and a few others we’ve lost? It’s at times like this that we recognise we’re a real community ❤️
  18. Beedster
    That’s lovely 👍
  19. Beedster
    Sold

    That’s nicely done mate 👍

    I don’t use FX and pretty much never have. But our next band project requires being able to change a few things on the hoof. Most likely I’ll be able to do a lot/most of it via the footswitching on my Mesa M-Pulse, but A) I’d like a little more versatility and B) I don’t have those options in my other amps which makes me anxious if I have an amp problem. Most of what I need will be - for example - switching EQ from bright to dub, adding heavy compression and/or distortion, possibly some synth tone, and shifting volume as I do all of these. I was looking at the Bass Fly Rig but reviews are a bit negative. Suggestions welcome

    You cannot beat a decent bitsa 👍
  24. Beedster
    Here are the answers to your main question 👍

    Condolences to his family and friends. I never met Nick but those on here who did had nothing but good words to say ❤️🙏
