  1. What a timely thread! A video of a guy playing one of these popped up on Facebook the other day, fascinated me and then promptly disappeared. I was wondering what it was called.
  2. This. I used to visit Chris regularly when he was based in Peckham.
  3. I wonder if @Absolute Beginnershould change their username...
  4. Nothing sinister about Billy J, I don't think. Well, not in the song anyway.
  5. £750?! That's amazing! These basses look so much better with the scratchplate.
  6. I would definitely put it on, just to complete the look. I never use them but luckily they don't get in the way, unlike the later ones by the E string - I just bash into them
  7. "She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the National Trust" Certainly random.
  8. Very tempting! Thanks for the review.
  9. I'd be interested to hear how you get on!
  10. This looks a lot like my old one - I think I sold it to you? If it is the one I'm sure it had a P neck.
  11. That Serek is gorgeous. They look right up my street!
  12. Update - it's going back! I initially took the valves out and popped them back in again, which seemed to help. I discovered an odd feature - if the mid and bass control are turned right down, the signal becomes very weak - that faint fuzzy sound I described in an earlier post. This surprised me as I had read that the pedal was based on an old Marshall, where the mid and bass are essentially 'flat' when turned right down. But I persevered as the tone with the knobs dialled up was really quite splendid. Sadly the pedal was plagued with an intermittent background static-type sound that was starting to give me the hump. I decided against opening it up and tinkering with it's innards and it's now being returned. Hey ho!
  13. Here's mine. There are some differences, notably the shape of the headstock and the control panel placement. Yours seems to have a slimmer body too but that might be camera angle. Mine is a few years old and a quick Google suggests there is some variation in the headstock and control panel. However the logo on yours does strike me as a bit odd. The most worrying thing has to be the strings though - these basses love flats! 😁
  14. That fan fret EB is amazing!
  15. I had one of these for a while. Can't fault it for the price.
