    @BillyBass - you're looking at this all wrong... ...get a 6 string bass!
  2. binky_bass
    Never! This is BassChat! We go all in or we don't bother. 😁

    They're definitely more expensive than a pedal sure, but in comparison to other amps, £975 for an Italian made 1400w dual channel (and that's 1400w through one channel) with built in tuner and a very usable overdrive is pretty decent! And all weighing a mere 3.5kg. And it swerves the need for adding a pedal to the chain!

    I have the Dual 1400 and it's killer. It'll certainly do what you want.

    I didn't think so! I had an inkling that was you in the Wal beanie... I'll actually say hi next time I see you!
  6. binky_bass
    In that case I saw you in 'the office' on the day I took that picture!
  7. binky_bass
    How dare you. But yes. Do you own a Wal beanie by any chance?

    These two, plus the GR rig and Helix are my absolute staples at the mo until my next ACG arrives in a few weeks.

    Estrella. I came into possession of an estrella gig bag via a deal with @nobodysprefect near on 10 years ago and it VERY happily houses Binky (my 10 string) and my Conklin (8 string) with zero issues. Excellent bags!

    I am excruciatingly tempted to buy it and string it righty... £800 is literally pennies on the pound for this. A spec like this today would be north of £3.5k so at this price you're getting 77% off the cost of a new one!

    These two are the super painful ones... A Nordstrand NX6 and Jean Baudin's Conklin PacMan 9.

    That link takes me to a strange, apparently hand made, bongo type bass...
  14. binky_bass
    And a near 4 year wait would also be a massive no! I am however looking forward to hearing what you can do with the finished product!

    You can't unfortunately, you'll need to create a new advert and ask a moderator to delete this thread.

    Aucun problème! C'est une belle basse

    Translation: I part with this beautiful Alleva Coppolo LM5 from 2010 bought in 2013 from an Italian (Roberto from the GrooveMania store). I don't have much to say again about what has already been said about Alleva Coppolo… It is really monstrous sound level! SARKY PUPPY's Michael League sometimes plays with an Alleva Coppolo. It's really against my heart that I part with it but such is life. Alleva Coppolo LM5 Transparent white finish (super pretty because you can see the natural side of the wood) a real vintage 70s Jazz Bass made by luthier Jimmy Coppolo. ash body, Maple fingerboard, Maple neck, Bead block and white binding, 34' scale length, 1 7/8' nut, Vintage tapered neck, 10' radius, 19mm spacing, Placement of microphones from the 1970s, Handmade Alleva Coppolo pickups, Handmade 2-band Alleva Coppolo preamp, Custom Alleva Coppolo Hipshot tuners. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information. A rare to find Alleva Coppolo bass for this model which is beautiful with a monstrous big sound.

    Nice, that was my first bass too! Yamaha RBX170 I believe?
  19. binky_bass
    Yes. The cat's out of the bag... it is I... BOJO!!! And I shall smite you all!!! (Also, I'd argue YOU'RE the government representative, editing my post to best suit your agenda!) 😂

    One bass to rule them all... ACG. I've been through almost all major bass manufacturers and boutique bass builders and ACG are the ones that just do everything. So much so I have 6 of them! Horses for courses of course, but dang they be good slices of bass pie!
  21. binky_bass
    Should be in hand in the next two weeks or so, exciting times! I've said it before, but it's worth saying again... Alan at ACG is such an easy guy to deal with. Always responding within a day if not a few hours, always providing updates, very fairly priced within the custom bass market and the builds are just impeccable.
  22. binky_bass
    Nice! Don't feel bad, I lasted all of one week!

    Cheers, but I was looking for something a few leagues beyond Behringer. I'm not a fan of their stuff at the best of time. The Seymour Duncan Dark Star, the Source Audio Collider or the GFI Specular Tempus would be the ones I'd be leaning towards if I hadn't become re-smitten with my Helix!
  24. binky_bass
    Cheers mate, however... After not having used my Helix in some time, and wanting a 'smaller' delay/reverb option, I'm actually going to stick with the Helix, it does everything and more than the Collider and effectively you can have 16 different delay/reverb combinations running simultaneously if you use the 4 cable method over 8 stomp patches - which is more ambient options than anyone could ever want! Plus of course all the extra gubbins the Helix can do... So even though it's a chunky beast, it's actually an incredibly good bit of kit that I may as well use and not spend the dosh on a Collider!

    The email response times from Bass Direct are very good - no fault there at all. I've not been there in person yet, I came close a few months back when @Bunionand I were due to meet there, but then someone decided to have a crash and the M25 got shut down. Luckily Bunion came to the rescue, went to BD, paid for my cab in full, then met me further down the road and we did our deal, so if this was a custom service review for Bunion, he'd get top marks! 😂
