    I've been really missing fretless so had arranged to buy back one of my ex fretless Precisions, but when that deal fell through I saw this on eBay and had to go for it. I've always loved maple fretless necks and this thing not only looks the nuts but plays like a dream. Bought as 'all original' - if it is, it's the best 70's Fender finish I've seen or played, it's lightweight, the heel and pocket are within millionths of a cm in width, the finish is almost Simms-esque, and it sings. Better pics to follow but you'll get the idea....

    He's only asking £195 so hardly pulling the con of the century

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1377597780' post='2189108'] Piano players only take one (electric) piano, gutiarists one guitar, trumpeters one trumpet, vocalists one PA and so on. Why do bass players feel that have to prepare for alien invasion and the likelihood of a tsunamis when no-one else does? [/quote] Guitarists only take one guitar? I'd love to be in that band

    [quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1377446410' post='2187622'] There's two Yamaha SLB200s in the for sale forum...... [/quote] Thanks Rev, yes, a bit pricey for me to be honest. I find on here than if you post a wanted ad all sorts of weird stuff appears, so I'm hoping something suitable priced and suitable interesting will come up. Cheers C

    [quote name='timbo1978' timestamp='1377456670' post='2187787'] I remember my girlfriend (now wife) being totally unimpressed when I told her shed have to sit in the back, because my db took up the whole passenger side of my car. [/quote] Hey, at least she got to go to the gig. Or did your DB just go everywhere with you, in which case yes, she had a point
  9. Beedster
    Aw Clarky, this would have been perfect, damn!
  10. Beedster
    Damn, found a design flaw in the Nissan X-Trail. Gear stick is positioned where double bass lower bout goes

    Ha ha, we think we might have sorted it - bass on front passenger seat sticking out of the sun roof (I'm kinda hoping there's no low bridges on the way). If it happens I will of course post pics

    It's a nice day here and earlier on I was offered a sit-in with a local singer-songwriter for an outdoor afternooner at a local pub. Great, said yes, then realised that now that the family is a four-piece, they and the DB are no longer going to fit in the car at the same time, and whilst I love gigging, I love it even more if the girls are there (OK, I'm aware that wiser heads will indicate that this is a situation that might change over the coming years). So, had to turn it down, although we're still going along to have a beer or two and listen to the music. So, I've posted in Items Wanted - but thought I'd also mention here - that I might be on the lookout for an EUB or travel DB! Enjoy your bank holidays all C

    Bought recently for DB gigs, but having just picked up the residue of the ex-band's PA gear I have some rather nice powered monitors that can do the same job, albeit with an acoustic pre-amp in front of it. This will also free up some cash from my incoming Ampeg/Barefaced EB gig rig (the monitors end-to-end make a lovely vertical 2x12 and sound a lot better than I thought would be the case). Re the combo, it's a Walkabout, which says it all, but unlike the others, the colour scheme on this one is sexy as ........! Original thread here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/209840-mesa-walkabout-scout-300w-combo-112-sold-subject-to-etc/page__p__2112117__hl__walkabout__fromsearch__1#entry2112117."]http://basschat.co.u...1#entry2112117.[/url] Pete (whatever), who's an absolute gent and packaged this baby well enough for it to have survived even Parcel Monkey (who we didn't use, but you get the idea), has clearly looked after the unit very well and it's in perfect working and aesthetic order. I'll take some more pics later as to my eye it looks a little washed out in the pics in the original thread Chris PS sorry, I'm not interested in trades unless it's for a moderate power (100-200w) all-tube head or a good quality EUB

    The SVT's now sold, the SVP is available at £250, which seems a fair price?

    [quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1376733372' post='2178470'] Just noticed this too late...... Lovely rig, which I only moved on as I was DI-ing. I'd always meant to pair the SVT-300 with an Aguilar DB680 pre - what a rig that would have been - but the SVP is a very nice pre-amp indeed, great in the studio too. Greg [/quote] Thanks Greg, I'm still loving the MK-35, hope the same's true with the SJ-200? The SVT is simply too big and too loud for me so I'm downgrading to something slightly less manly! Hope all's well down in the Urban South! C

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1375631790' post='2163656'] One of the tube experts on Talkbass has mentioned an issue with plate voltage and keeping to the original design. It'll be well over £1000 over here...may as well get an Orange. [/quote] Hey mate, do you have a link to the TB thread, couldn't find it? Cheers C
  20. Beedster
    £250 plus postage for the SVP Chris

    [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1376631388' post='2177003'] Still can't find any info on the 'new' v4b [/quote] Seems to be quite a lot of it out there although AFAIK they're not in the shops yet. SVT-300 sold pending the usual. SVP still up for grabs C
  22. Beedster
    Now for sale as I may have found an all-tube Ampeg replacement, albeit of slightly lower power output
  23. Beedster
    I'd happily trade my SVT-300/SVP-Pro for one, the 300's got way more than I need
  24. Beedster
    [quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1376578988' post='2176370'] Is 100W of tube power enough to gig with? Cheers. [/quote] Yes, depending on what the rest of the band are using and what cab(s) you're using. I'd love a decent 100w all tube head
  25. Beedster
    In case anyone's interested, the Tech 21 VT going into the Ampeg SVT-300 sounds massive and makes it a whole lot easier to dial in a tone that using the SVP-Pro. Clean out of the VT but pushing the power stage sounds absolutely lovely
