    Need to get rid of. alot of stuff that's taking up space. Something of a bargain I suspect! Tenner or for postage? WYSIWYG

    Mesa don't really do light, but you can hear the weight

    Enfield Fusion Jazz body with 2xQuad PUPs, Badass, 3-band Glockenlang EQ with various push/pull options also. If you want to build a versatile bass, this does everything from Flea BSSM era to Flea Stadium Arcadium era, to Jamerson, to Stanley Clarke, to Bernard Edwards, to..... I could make this simpler by saying that if they played a Precision, a Jazz or a 'Ray, this bass can probably do it! Nicely aged natural oil finish, everything fully functional and undamaged. This is the body of an Enfield Fusion/Avenger built by Sims Custom Shop https://www.sims.guitars/enfieldguitars as opposed to a custom body with Sims Quad PUPs installed. In short the quality of the body, the routes, the circuits etc is as you'd expect given Martin's reputation for high quality work. Further info on this model (which was rebranded from Fusion to Avenger but like all Enfield basses is now discontinued) can be found here https://www.sims.guitars/enfield-guitars/avenger

    43kgs so not light, although built in wheels and rolling bar take some of the stress off. As per pervious post, if I were going to be regularly gigging it in and out of clubs I'd probably rack the head and put a couple of rack panels in the combo 👍

    Last bump on this before I take it to a shop for a consignment sale, sadly just a bit too big in both physical size and volume to justify keeping So.... Combo £800 Head £550 (I have an old mesa Boogie 4u rack case that I can provide with it) 2x12 Cab £250 Happy to talk offers or trades on this

    Job done Yamaha showroom 👍 All joking aside, everything Yamaha do is 100% better than the competition

    Soundguys/girls really do have to put up with a load of utter onanists don't they 😀

    Took me a long time to really feel him. Wanted to like him for years because he seemed a cool artist to like or get. But now he's more like a drug; no need to do any more than press play and feel better 👍 Funny thing is I used to think he was a bit inauthentic. Think that was me. He's just playing music after all
  10. Beedster
    Yes, there is that, not uncommon
  11. Beedster
    Great little tools these are 👍

    Fantastic @mybass, my music story was similar to yours albeit without the happy ending (and to be honest without the talent also) Gibson Bass and Fender Fretless, very specific !

    Long day, feeling a bit stinky poo, nothing serious just first world crap. Then on the radio comes Tom. Feel better already

    Yep, that sounds familiar. Never underestimate the effect of even a few seconds of rock-star arrogance between a band member and the venue to scupper future gigs irrespective of how well you went down. I've a mate who I used to gig with who is the most polite and respectful person you could hope to meet. Until around 2-hours ahead of a gig when he arrives at a venue and finds the slightest thing not to his liking and puts on just enough attitude to avoid a direct confrontation while still managing to fosters off people at the venue, IME gigs really can bring out the best or the worst in people, often because of a mix of excitement, anxiety, impatience, and ego. Not me of course, i'm lovely

    I suspect I'm technically owed several items that bandmates borrowed and either broke and handed back, kept, or sold when I was in my 20's, a lovely old tube combo, a fiddle, a Selmer Sax and a decent Westone bass among them. The thought of trying to chase them down now fills me with anxiety at the sheer level of work and potential pain involved. I can only guess this Ric must mean a hell of a lot to you to be going to these lengths, so all the best with your search. But as @Steve Browning said above, and as your post that I've quoted suggests might be the case, unless you're suggesting that you're prepared to forgive and forget and pay market value today for the bass, if you were lucky enough for the current owner to come across one of your threads, I suspect you're going to make them less, rather than more, likely to get in touch Good luck either way 👍

    Baggs sold

    Very well thanks mate, hope the same's true with you. That's not only a hell of a bass but part of your life, must be tough to sell. I bet it could tell a few stories as well
  18. Beedster
    Man that ticks a lot of boxes 👍
  19. Beedster
    There's a few guys here who'll be pleased to see that 👍

    Well DPD are off my Xmas card list, what a mess they’ve become, rebooking with Parcelforce, luckily I paid for DPD with PayPal so will claim given they won’t cancel/refund
  23. Beedster
    Drop off here won’t accept packages over 60cms 😕
  24. Beedster
    Well until this week my answer to the OP question would have been DPD, but having booked two packages (to two very patient Basschatters) for collection and delivery by yesterday earlier in the week they're still sitting here. More annoyingly DPD appear to have automated every single point of contact with an algorithm that when I ask 'When will my packages be collected" tells me 3rd October. So they have apparently also perfected time travel. So I've gone in and updated collection date and now when I search on the App they no longer show? I tried to cancel using the 'Cancel Collection' tab and it tells me that I can't, I assume because it doesn't recognise the numbers. I guess I should be gratedul that at least both packages are sitting in my house and not lost a depot or van. Shame, until this week DPD were the only courier that hadn't let me down.

    PUP placement is surely more mathematically/acoustically determined to oprimise, harmonics etc while the DB-esque feel is, agreed, best achieved playing over the board, the further up the better, to get that looser and more languid attack
