The push/pull function on one of the many stacked knobs on my ACG 6 does absolutely nothing. If a producer ever asks for a different vibe I'd just pull that - 90% chance they'd say "yeah, that's better!". You need to add a 'producer' knob to your basses that does nothing at all! -
Get in the corner and think about what you've done...

Would every please just shut up!!! 😂

There's a difference between a genuine typo mistake and continually typing the same rather annoying ' ,, ' after every single word you type! You don't NEED to do that, it actually takes you longer to type all these needless ' ,, ' over and over again than it would just to use a single comma. Apparently its due to 'years of drum programming'... not sure what that has to do with the same ' ,, ' appearing a thousand times in every one of your posts though! *goes off to scream into a pillow*

Don't make me refer back to the Spock vs Shatner picture!!!

Them be fightin' words! Do you want the wenge fighting stick or the bubinga one? Both fight differently. 😜

There's only one way to settle this...

Hi all, Looking to move on this recent acquisition. I have a beautiful 7 string ACG Reiver and a PRS Custom 24 so this will just never get played! It's in excellent condition with only a few very minor marks, freshly strung with a set of Slinky 10s so its ready to go! Looking for £150. Collection from Basildon, Essex is preferred however I can post for £15 (uninsured and at your risk) if need be. Any questions, just ask! -
Afternoon all, I looking to get rid of my 4 way foldable guitar/bass stand. It's quite a sturdy beast as demonstrated by the 33 strings over 4 basses currently resting within it! Nicely padded and folds down to take to a gig or band practice. Can't remember the brand but £25 seems pretty fair I can post if needed, that will be at least £10 extra, but happy to post if you want. Collection from Basildon, Essex is preferred! Any questions, let me know! -
Hi all, Just taken in this quite nice Antoria Jazz bass. It's in excellent condition all round, a few very minor marks here and there but these are really VERY minor! Lovely straight neck and a really nicely figured body, possibly Ash? 2 Ply pearloid scratch plate and a decent thickness Rosewood board. Not sure of the year of this bass, I'd hazard a guess at some time in the early 2000's. Looking for £150 for this little beast, it's a great player and needs a good new home with someone who will actually use it! Not enough strings for me unfortunately! Happy to post it for £15 extra (uninsured and at your risk, though will be well padded) or you can collect from Basildon, Essex. Any questions, just ask!-

In summary, only buy a bass if you like the way it looks as everything else is a crapshoot!

I find that when I choose not to believe in gravity I end up floating away...

Almost every bass I own was bought without trying! In fact thinking about it, EVERY bass I own was bought without trying! I don't disagree that wood does impact the tone at some level with different woods affecting to a varying degree, to me this seems obviously as each wood is different and sound waves travel through different mediums at different rates as dictated by the laws of physics, whether or not most end users can hear this is another matter! I don't think you need to try a bass to be able to be 80%+ sure you'll like it. If it has 'good parts' and decent construction it should be fine!

This is from 1965, not 1865... 😜 -
Luckily you can't see the private 'Everyone hates Cliff Edge' thread. It's the new Basschat place to be! 😜

Found yet another set of Schaller strap locks in a drawer... no use for these now as I've gone full Dunlop! Both silver, both Schaller, both (quite) shiny. £9 posted to your door. To be honest, I don't really care about the money - if you want them, let me know, maybe just chuck a few quid into the BassChat box or lob a fiver at a charity of your choice. Alternatively, pay me a tenner and I'll attach these to a reasonable CODE strap and send it your way postage included. -
Da daaa dadada! Yes yes, I'm leaving...
-
£150 is cheap for one of these. Great cabs! -
And they are still doing now! That 'sale' is a cheeky bit of advertising... every day the code changes to state the end of the sale is that day but the next day the sale continues... tricks you into panic buying. Having said that, the two I 'panic bought' arrived today and are really quite good!
-
Sold a strap to Maxillius, perfectly smooth transaction! Another credit to Basschat!

Mesa do make some of the very best bass gear out there... I've had maybe 6 or 7 rigs over the last 5 years from a good slice of 'top end' brands and my current Mesa rig smashes all of them to the ground. Never underestimate the Mesa!!
-
Nope. The neck looks like a very rough home made attempt at a Warwick neck. Not worth a tenner in my opinion.

Help needed --- Mesa Strategy Eight:88 power transformer
binky_bass replied to tvickey's topic in Amps and Cabs
I suspect it's related to the power valve section. Every 10-20 seconds or so while powered up there is a loud 'pop', that pop's loudness is relative to how high up the volume is so when gigging/practicing it is very much noticeable. GuitarGuitar have very kindly agreed to take it back and send it to an authorised UK Mesa repair centre. I only bought it about a year ago and because of various lockdowns I've never even gigged it! I think it's been used by me for about 20 hours tops since it was delivered so the fault definitely isn't usage of it! I have to say that the customer service at GuitarGuitar is spot on, very glad they're helping put it right!
