  1. Many thanks guys. One more pic (for scale) from a gig last week showing the cabs in use with my trusty Trace head 😎

  3. Barefaced 2x12 trades added 😁 Alternatively, I may be tempted to sell/trade the entire Tecamp rig as a job lot (Puma, S115 and XS115 cabs)
  4. I have 2 pick guards for Ernie Ball MM Stingrays for sale. These are for single pickup Stingrays with the cut out for the truss rod wheel. First up, a black official MM one purchased from Thomann but never used. Still covered in it’s protective film and labels etc. £20 posted UK Next up, an aftermarket tortoise shell one in very good condition. Just some light scratches. £10 posted UK. Or you can have both posted for £27
  5. Please delete - I’m a clown 😳. I’ll make sure I’m not half asleep when I set my amp up next time 😂😂😂😂 For full disclosure, it appears that I somehow managed to press the standby button on my SMX sometime after trying my Aria and P but before trying the Spector. If I’d have press it again and played I’d have blown my windows out 😮🤪
  6. My 1981 SB-R80 was the weapon of choice at our gig tonight. Sounded great 😁
  7. Loved the Peavey TNT. I had a couple, a wedge type (bloody awkward to carry about) and a 150 with the Sheffield speaker. As has been said, bomb proof. Also old Trace gear. The best sound I ever had to my ears was my SMX going through a 1153 (1x15) and 2103 (2x10). I’d still use those cabs but for the size limitations of car boots etc. Last year I picked up a pair of these cabs and a 200 watt TE head for £90. I stinky poo ye not 😮
  8. Sold a bridge to Gary. Great comms and prompt payment. What more could you ask for! Trade with confidence 👍
  9. Just sold a GK gig bag to Chris. Great comms and speedy payment. Text book deal 😁 Trade with confidence
  10. Very nice 😍. Good man 👍
  11. I didn’t notice any difference from the original BBOT on my Squier, so I’d say it’s 19mm.

    Just bought a strap from Whizzzy. Item exactly as described, great comms and fast delivery. Many thanks again 😁
  13. Not sure tbh, but it’s not super lightweight so I’d guess at brass (not 100% though)
  14. Great bridge in excellent condition. Direct replacement for Fender/Squier BBOT (this uses holes 1, 3 and 5). No screws I’m afraid. £40 posted to mainland UK

  16. Official GK padded carry bag for your beloved MB200. Great bag with plenty of storage for cables. One of these: https://www.thomann.de/gb/gallien_krueger_gig_bag_mb200.htm In as new condition. £20 posted to mainland UK
  17. I think it was during the nineties when the brand was possibly ‘cheapened’ by the lower end models. I borrowed (and ultimately purchased) a black ZZB off a mate in the early nineties. It looked terribly out of place with me playing anything from U2 to Eddie Cochran, but the build quality and power from the pickups was amazing compared to the various P bass copies and Epiphone Power Bass I’d previously owned (Epi was a catalogue purchase I think). A good few years later I was in the position to buy a used SB series but I was gutted when I came to try it, as I couldn’t get on with the parallel neck dimensions. Anyhoo, fast forward to last month and after many years of still lusting after an Aria (brought on by watching endless episodes of Top of the Pops 2), I finally got my hands on a 1981 SB-R80, (the R basses being an SB but with more conventional next dimensions). It plays great, is beautifully crafted and is as solid as a rock. With regards to when did Aria fall from grace, I think it’s down to the expanse of the range available and where that range is positioned. The SB range was quality. I think any brand that has a range that spans entry level all the way through to top end has a risk of losing its ‘clout’. I’ve recently tried several top end Ibanez basses and they’re great, but they don’t hold their value. I think this is down to the fact that sometimes people can’t or won’t distinguish between the budget and the higher end models. Ultimately it’s still down to how good the products are. Were entry level Aria basses in the eighties far superior in terms of build quality and materials used to their more recent cousins? Probably. But weren’t everyone else’s too? All I know is that they made some great basses and there are no doubt some great basses within the range today. Cue gratuitous Aria pic 😉
  18. That’ll be a cracking bass for peanuts
