  1. Oh I do wish I could get on with Jazz basses. These look lovely.
  2. The spec listed on the older BF page says 25Hz - 6kHz. However the newer BF page lists it as 30Hz - 6kHz. With regard to impedence, the only option on the page when you order is 8ohm. I'm not sure if 2ohms is still an option on request (the back plate still shows 2 and 8 with the 2 blacked out).
  3. This arrived this morning. 😁 I'm a self-confessed fan of BF gear after having several of their 2x12 models over recent years, but wanted to have something a little more old skool sounding this time around. Went for the painted finish as used on the 12" speaker models. The finish is superb and it sounds great (I certainly managed to get a few things rattling around the house earlier). Very pleased and look forward to gigging with it when the time comes.
  4. Yes position 2 sounds superb. Hopefully they won't be a pair for too much longer. It needs a new home!
  5. Had some very interesting part-trade offers but nothing that fits the bill as yet. Keep ‘em coming. On hold pending sale elsewhere
  6. Yeah it’ll never catch on, that Fender tuner shape 🤣
  7. Just to resurrect an old thread, I'm still on the hunt for a Series 6 era brochure/catalogue if anybody has one they'd like to part with (hard copy) or pdf's of one you could forward on? Cheers
  8. I am completely at a loss for words. How? Why? Can people be arrested for this sort of thing? 😧
  9. This is key. Take plenty of good photographs and be completely honest about condition. The dent or damage that you've lived with for years will turn into a major dispute with the buyer if you fail to mention or photograph it in your advert.
  10. I've lost money on things but I wouldn't class those instances as mistakes as I've gone into buying them (usually new) with my eyes open knowing what will happen as a result of my gas. 99% of my purchases are used items off BC. That's the joy of buying used, you can try lots of different kit and not lose on it. However just to add to the Wal hall of shame, I bought a used Mk1 for £575 from Carlsboro in Nottingham in 1993 and sold it for I think £650ish a year later. At the time I was quite chuffed with the deal. The next used Wal I bought cost me £3000 🙄
  11. It's a bargain for a great bit of kit (I briefly had an AH600 SMX a few years ago) but the 600 models have bells and whistles on them that I'd never use, such as the bi-amping facility.
  12. Mark purchased a couple of basses off me today but within a couple of hours realised that they weren't for him. He was very honest with me and I accepted the basses back along with his sizeable gesture of goodwill for my inconvenience. I wasn't really sure about selling one of the basses anyway so all's well that end's well! Mark's a lovely chap and it's a shame that the deal fell through, but I'm sure we'll trade again.
  13. Purely for the addditonal variety of different tone options available. I love the standard H sound and In position 1 the HH will do exactly that, but then you have 4 other options on top. EDIT - Exactly as @hiram.k.hackenbacker said above EDIT 2 - Apologies for the tautology 😂

    Dave made me a cable in super quick time and looking at the quality, I’m pretty certain it’s going to out-live me. Many thanks 👍
  15. 2018 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray Special 4H – Charcoal Sparkle / Ebony I purchased this 4H model when these Specials came out last year. As some of you may recall I actually wanted a 4HH but due to be being quoted a 9-12 month wait for one in this colour, my extreme gas and impatience got the better of me and I came home with this one instead. Fast forward 12 months and after my bi-monthly random look around the usual stockists, I’ve finally managed to bag a 4HH model so this beauty is now back up for grabs. Body – Swamp Ash Body Finish – High gloss polyester ‘Charcoal Sparkle’ Scale – 34” Neck radius – 11” Nut Type - Compensated Nut Width – 43.5mm Frets – 22 high profile, wide, stainless steel Neck – Roasted maple Fingerboard – Ebony Tuners – Custom Musicman, lightweight with tapered string posts and ergonomic clover design Controls – 3-band active 18 volt pre-amp: volume, treble, middle, bass Pickup – Single humbucking with neodymium magnets Weight – 8.5lbs Case – Original hard shell case and case candy included This bass is absolutely immaculate, plays beautifully and is very light. No dinks or scratches, it’s never been gigged or even taken to a rehearsal (I’m still on an enforced sabbatical from gigging). Used for occasional home noodling only and cossetted in its case. I did finally remove the film from the scratch plate but other than that it’s as new. I would very much prefer for this to be collected or a meet up could possibly be arranged. Shipping to the UK only may be possible at buyers’ expense but only if fully insured. Price is firm and I believe very fair so no cheeky offers thank you. Not really looking for trades on this one as I'm having another cull but you could always try me, I can only say no. 😁 Any questions please pm me. EDIT Re Trades: As stated I'd much prefer a straight sale but in answer to a few PM's, if I was to take a part trade it would need to be: Basses - Four string, 34", fretted, headed, standard string spacing i.e.19mm, 42mm + nut (no jazz necks thanks). Possibly a P, Super P etc. Amps & Cabs - I'm sorted for cabs and amps really but I may be interested in a Mesa Walkabout and I’m always interested in a part-ex deal involving something old and green with a UV light on it. 😎
  16. Finally got hold of a Charcoal Sparkle 4HH. This is the model that I wanted last year but my impatience wouldn't allow me to wait the quoted 9-12 months for this model in this colour, so I opted for a 4H instead. After a random search on Friday I managed to find somewhere with stock. It arrived today, plays great and I'm very impressed with the range of tones available. Very, very pleased with it. 😁 The 4H is obviously now surplus and will very shortly be listed in the Basses for Sale section.
  17. Ah, my old bass and very nice it is too. GLWTS
  18. True. The problem comes when the items you're after are like rocking horse stinky poo and you know it's extremely doubtful that they'll ever come up used in the colour and condition you want.
  19. Yes, that's the 'like for like' replacement i.e. same 8 ohm and 150 watts as the originals.
  20. This ⬆️ Although I must also agree with the below.
