    Outright ownership of Basschat apparently

    Yep, iPhone

    Hi mate, no it was about 11.00 this morning, but it did mention Google, I didn;t spend much time checking, just shut it down quick
  4. Beedster
    I've had that as well

    I've used the recent B-15 reissue - essentially the same head as this albeit rated a little lower watts-wise - with DB and it sounded fantastic. I posted about it somewhere on the site, I'll see if I can find it. Either way, the combination of that lovely tubey bounce and the natural dynamics of the DB was pretty special.

    Spot on mate. I'm currently playing with a very loud drummer, and I thought I'd use the Mesa Walkabout rather than this. It turns out that there is not a whole lot of difference, at least not as much as I'd expected, so have opted for a Mesa Prodigy, which is a monster of a unit. So I have too many amps! This Ampeg is not a monster, but it's tonally perfect; there is a simplicity and no-nonsense vibe about it that I much prefer over my bigger amps. There's part of me that thinks I should sell the Walkabout and keep this, which I have to admit I more leaning towards as time goes on. The advantage with the Walkabout is a more versatile tone circuit, but hey, I play passive Precisions with flatwounds, there's not a whole lot of places to go tone-wise

    Natural finish always works well with denim I find

    Can I take the pickguard and thumb rest Walshy? Cheers Chris

    Ha ha, thanks mate, I keep doing the opposite to be honest, i.e., keep telling myself I do need it, but there are a few too many tube heads round here as it is

    FCS Reggie Hamilton 5 was one of the best instruments I’ve ever played ever. Why did I sell it .....?
  11. Beedster
    Hi mate, apologies, but I replied to your post above so assumed you would have seen that. Cheers Chris
  12. Beedster
    Still here

    P-Retro now sold
  14. Beedster
    Bass is sold but P-Retro and Badass are still available, I think £125 is fair for the P-Retro and £60 for the bridge, I will post pics of each on this thread later today Cheers Chris

    You can pick up used USA SVTs for around £600, wait a while and these non-USA Ampeg’s will be very very cheap. The days of big tube heads are sadly behind us
  16. Beedster
    These are rather good
  17. Beedster
    Yep, if I had £3k I'd buy another Wal, superb instruments, and one of the few that a) you can't recreate more cheaply (i.e., you can build something every but as good as the best Fender from Warmoth/Allparts and aftermarket hardware, but you ain't going to get anywhere close to Wal) and b) will almost certainly have gained value should you need to sell it.
  18. Beedster
    Thanks mate, it's a lovely instrument. The real pleasure of playing around with Fender-alike bitsas is that you can keep chopping and changing parts until you get the perfect bass. And then sell it for about what it cost, and start again
  19. Beedster
    Active in a Precision, get a P-Retro (used as discontinued). But passive is also pretty versatile if done well, speak to John/Kiogon about versatile passive circuits, he's just built me one for a P/J bas that does pretty much everything I need from a bass. Wood? You can pick up Warmoth and Allparts bodies and necks for £100-£150 if you keep your eyes open I'm getting the feeling I've got most of the parts you might need!
  20. Beedster
    There you go mate

    Simon and I shared a brief few moments at an undisclosed central London location today, during which a rather well engineered item hailing from Petaluma CA changed hands. To say that Simon was patient, accommodating and a thoroughly good egg would be an understatement. He is also a man who knows his gear. One of the good guys

    I put together most of the below basses, all high spec by factory built comparison models (Fender etc), for around or under the O/Ps budget. Most are Warmoth or Allparts necks/bodies, which are generally a step up from standard Fender quality (IMO of course). All are outstanding players and solid as a rock. You'll see a theme......
  24. Beedster
    Looks like that might well be the case as I've interest from a few guys in a passive version, I'll let you know as soon as I do Cheers Chris

    Ha ha, love it
