[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1500667225' post='3339560'] My advice is to use a proper (i.e.old range) TE head and then other (i.e. lighter) cab, or cabs. Any Trace AH200 or AH250 head (whatever the letters afterwards) should have ample power with a decent cab. Remember that their full wattage is into a 4 ohm load. So if you are to use an 8 ohm cab (like me) you will get less volume and will need some decent speaker surface area - I use a good 8 ohm 4x10 - to get good volume. I used to gig an AH250 head for quite a while through a 2x12, although it was 4 ohms. Both rigs have happily coped with 2 x guitar , pretty loud drummer rock bands. If you can get your hands on an AH250SMX that would be my ultimate recommendation. IMO, the SMX range are pretty much the pinnacle of bass amp design. [/quote] + 1 to this. When I got back into playing a few years back I was given the same advice. An old school Trace head through a lightweight cab is the perfect combination and an AH200 or my fave the 250SMX are ideal. The larger old heads (e.g. Uv lamp models) are great too but they are considerably heavier than the 2u heads. I personally would go for a model that has both pre-shape 1 and 2. Good luck!

Ditto Looper pedal in brand new condition. Bought 18 months ago for my guitarist daughter, she tried it once and it's been sat in its box ever since! -

[quote name='Gottastopbuyinggear' timestamp='1500207669' post='3336187'] I have two of the RoqSolid and one Hot Covers. They're both fine but for the base level the Hot Covers one has a bit more padding. Also offers the opportunity for either a bit of amusement or a bit of a disaster as they tend to keep their shape when empty, so when you leave it in the corner inevitably someone will try to sit on it. On the other hand it's quite useful turned upside down with your coats, soft gig bags etc. stuffed in it at gigs. [/quote] 😂 Stop it now 😂😂👍👍

As a few above, I was using 45-65-80-100 for a good few years but I've recently gone fully light 40-60-80-100

[quote name='NoirBass' timestamp='1500189648' post='3336068'] I put a Squier branded scratchplate on my Silver series P. It was a direct fit. [/quote] Was that listed as a particular Squier model? Do you have a link to where you bought it from?

Bought a lovely bass from Chris today. Met half way and had a great chat about all things bass. Top chap. Thanks again

Nice one. I'm on it !

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1500152348' post='3335994'] Vinyl wrap could be your friend is easy to apply and easily reversable and cheap [/quote] Ooh tell me more. That sounds like it could be the quickest/easiest solution and as you say, it's reversible.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1500128428' post='3335798'] Try dangleberry music on ebay they sell these but have a template you can download so you know if you plate will fit correctly [/quote] Many thanks. The tort may grow on me, but I do like a black one on sunburst 😍

Hi all I'm going to have a look at a Silver Series Squier P today. It looks rather lovely, however if I buy it I may want to fit a black scratchplate instead of the tort one that's fitted. Does anybody know of a supplier or model of plate that would fit 'off the shelf'? Cheees

Bought a Hipshot Bass Xtender from Graeme. Great communication, item exactly as described and prompt delivery. Top Baschatter! In fact I enjoyed the experience so much, I just might have to buy something else off him very shortly 😁

Just sold my gorgeous Black Stingray to Mark. Met up as agreed and had a good chat about all things bass (some very nice playing too may I say Mark) Great communication throughout and a thoroughly nice chap to boot. Trade with complete confidence - top fella 👍 All the best Mark and I hope you come to a decision on which neck to go with ;-)

If I didn't already have two of them I'd have had this straight away 😕

Now sold and off to a good home. Many thanks -
Vanderkley are better than Barefaced cabs, right?!

Well I’ve decided that I’m after a US Precision so sadly I’m going to have to part with my Stingray and its 2 necks………. Musicman Stingray 4H 3 band eq 2003 Black with Black guard The body does have a few surface scratches and minor dings on it, but nothing major that has gone through to the wood. The electrics are fine and it is a very powerful beast. [u]Original Maple Neck[/u] As you are aware MM necks haven’t been gloss for many years. However, after falling in love with the gloss finish on the Fender P I had at the time I looked into getting this refinished. Horizontalste had recently had the neck of his ‘ray refinished by Jon Shuker and was very happy to recommend him. So, off to Mr Shuker it went for a tinted gloss lacquer finish. This included a complete re-fret and new nut. The work on the neck was actually featured on his FB page at the time (some of the pics below are from that feature). The results are stunning and that black and ‘enhanced’ maple combination is pretty much hard to beat. As you’d expect the neck is in mint condition. It could in all truth possibly do with a minor fret dress which I was going to send back to Jon to do, but then along came the Status neck so I didn’t bother in the end. This neck is currently still fitted with its original MM tuners. [u]Status Neck - currently fitted[/u] I’d heard many good things about pairing a graphite neck with a Stingray so I’ve given that a go too. To be honest, I do really like the combination and it plays beautifully. Also looks real 'stealth' . This neck does have a few scratches and minor dings on it. Nothing on the actual face but a few on the side of the neck and the headstock. Again as with the body, there’s nothing that shouts at you but they are there if you look. This neck was previously fitted to an OLP Stingray and the tuners that are currently fitted are from that bass. So, there you have it. A beast of a bass with 2 neck options for a bag of sand! I’d prefer to sell everything together, purely because I don’t want the hassle of swapping necks etc. There’s a slightly battered MM hard case included (or alternatively a MM gig bag if you prefer). Trades: A recent US Fender Precision (i.e. one fitted with the Custom Shop ’62 pickup). Must have a rosewood board. I’m based in South Yorkshire but as always, don’t mind a meet up.

Lost dogs - basses you wish you could buy back... Have you got it now?
Deedee replied to Chiliwailer's topic in Bass Guitars
I'd have my old Honeyburst 3 band Stingray back in an instant if it was available. I sold it to Bigthumb of this parish a couple of years back when I was selling everything to buy a Wal. Well, the Wal didn't get used and I wish I'd stuck to what I had back then. I think Bigthumb sold it on but I have messaged him to ask, just in case he still has it.
