    Should mention that I have two very sturdy boxes plus the cases for the cabs so can courier this at buyer's expense Cheers Chris

    Thanks Martin This rig sold a couple of months back, but the buyer needed it quicker than I could guarantee getting it to him. So, having some time off over Christmas I set it up in the house and played the hell out of it, and it is bloody lovely, way way better than I had realised and stupidly loud for a rig this size. Tone-wise it's a very different beast to PJB gear that is the only comparison for size, more in line for me with the AER combos I've owned (although significantly smaller and lighter). However, I can't really justify keeping this, plus Boogie plus Ampeg, so back on the BC market. Note that this is not the rig that's currently available in your local music store, as WoT indicated above, for some reason Ibanez discontinued these two models. I can't speak for the quality of the newer replacements, but I do know that the older stuff has achieved something of a following, and justifiably! Chris

    I think a big part of the problem isn't noise per se but the lack of apparent sense/logic of the noise; listening to a solo musician practice is like listening to someone on a mobile phone on a train, i.e., bloody annoying, especially if like me they play the same phrase over and over and over again (I spent two hours one day quietly playing the first four bars of the verse of Rhythm Stick, and my other half almost left me). So yes, headphones all the way, especially as they tend to be far less flattering than most practice amps and allow you to be a little more critical of tone, technique and timing. But more importantly and as many have said, most neighbours are OK if a little annoying at times, but most can be turned into the neighbours from hell if you choose to make a big problem of a small issue and quite literally s**t on your own doorstep

    A collection of 13 Wals and only 2 serial numbers! Many of the US players I know are really geared up for theft, I'm amazed a collection of that value and rarity wasn't better documented?

    What can I add to the above, if BC awarded a Legion d'Honneur or similar it would have to go to Nik, he absolutely 100% characterises all that's best about this forum, about musicians, and about people full stop! Always a pleasure mate, as I keep saying, next time - and there will no doubt be a next time - we'll do it over a beer or two ideally at a gig at which one or other of us are playing (for your sake I hope it's you!)

    Lot of cab for the money
  9. Beedster
    So just to be clear, this is a defret yes? I was starting to look down the back of the sofa for bass tokens.....
  10. Beedster
    Absolutely the coolest looking Precision I’ve seen, proper rock and roll vibe

    This from 10 years ago is relevant

    That really is rather special
  14. Beedster
    Telecaster Bass with flats
  15. Beedster
    I have no idea why, as sporting that bass at the sort of gigs I do would be like Flea playing a Gibson, but I really have the hots for it
  16. Beedster
    Thanks chaps

    Sorry, me again. I replied to a FS thread a couple of days back for two g****r rack preamp in which I requested that the seller PM me payment details. I've searched every way I can think and it's not showing up. Of course, I may have dreamt it, but it's an oddly unambitious dream even for me? Am I mad, is it extraordinarily hard to search things even posted the same week, or has it simply gone? I really wanted the gear so would be great if someone could find it for me

    Now sold
  19. Beedster
    Hello mate, I'll have to check their respective retail prices but probably £350/£150 region. Thanks Jass. Quick reminder to potential buyers that I'm selling this to pay for the Venture so I'm really not looking for any trades
  20. Beedster
    I hope that’s cheap, the neck looks awful?
  21. Beedster
    Yep, but check out the pics in the link, they are more convincing. They won't feel like a Wal in the flesh, but plenty will get sold in various places and people will get burned. I ride Italian bikes, and the 'Chinarello' is now an accepted fact, that is a significant percentage of Pinarello bikes in circulation have turned out to be very very good visual replicas of the real thing (serial numbers etc all as should be the case), albeit far from good functional replicas, and with a couple of tell tale signature faults that the experts check for. That's why I said very early on in this thread that it could be a case of trying to move one of these one. I'm guessing it's not but the lack of any form of evidence to the contrary is increasingly a little odd

    Very happy for you WoT, works for you, doesn't work for me
  23. Beedster
    Slow to load on both, but unpredictable, fast one minute, slow or nothing next. Look forward to the server upgrade
  24. Beedster
    Hi Ped, yep, photos on phone not cloud. Re speed I get very slow times to open posts and server not responding error a lot still. C

    My point exactly....
