    Nice wood looks nice and allows us all to therorise in a quasi mystical way on how those purpleheart stringers in the neck make the tone more 'shimmery'? 😆😆

    Anyone used Robbie Gladwell in Sudbury (Dr Roberts guitar surgery) for amplifier repairs?

    Hello Folks, I've recently aquired a rather lovely BB1200 and I'd appreciate some advice about a suitable truss rod wrench. Any ideas as to what size they are and where I could source one? Apologies if this has been asked before. I did a search but couldn't see an answer. Many thanks Stuart

    Hiya, I'm interested in the PJ set with the longer J pickup. Would you be able to send me dims pls? Many thanks Stuart.

    So I got this one Al: https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_box_pyrit_112_sub_a.htm It is the Pyrit one- I got it becuase it seemed a bit more 'pro' than the other models. Its 24 kilos, but its not big, so quite manageable to lug about I find. As Jazzyvee says, just adds a bit of weight to the bottom end.

    I play in a skiffle band occasionally, I double up on uke and microbass. I have a schertler combo which sits on one of those thoman 'The box' 12" powered subs which I dial in on the aux send of the microbass channel. Works a treat as it goes...

    I used Graham a lot when I lived in South London. he's really good and very friendly. Highly reccomended. And a +1 for The Gallery if you are up North.

    ...anyway. I think, having done a bit of online research and listened to the opinions of folks that have got/had both units, the HX FX is the one I want.

    Well, that told me then. How dare I ask opinions of fellow bass players....on...erm...a board that is dedicated to the opinions of bass players....🤣

    Whats the difference? Any pros and cons? What is the stomp XL? Thanks for the info, and apologies if this has already been done....

    I bought one of those speaker cabs- albeit with a blown 15" that needed reconing- for £150 a few years ago. And an immaculate, flightcased 400+ for £800. So I reckon you are pretty much spot on there Beedster.

    Lovely and unusual. GLWTS!
  17. W1_Pro
    Yes indeed, and I am an idiot who did not read a very well written ad..🤣.Its really pretty. GLWTS.

    Thats just nit picking. Anyone could make a mistake like that.....😬

    Lovely bass that. Where are they made?
  20. W1_Pro
    That one in the clip is the same colour as mine too- pretty much the same bass right down to the brass truss rod cover. Thanks for the kind words Nik!

    Come on folks. This is the bargain of the century. A handmade British bass from the late 70's with top notch workmanship, fixtures and fittings. Yours for only 20% of the price of a Wal or 40% of the price of a BC Rich depending on your preferences. Thats before VAT and duty come into the equation. A no brainer!😂
  22. W1_Pro
    Up!
  23. W1_Pro
    Its a beaut, and that is a ludicrous price for that kind of quality. Good for you. Enjoy!

    Ah..the fretless with the slap plates. A quirky modern classic that. Always wanted one. How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?
  25. W1_Pro
    That was said further up the thread and it didnt really sink in....doh! I've only ever seen him use various fenders/moduli and a Stringray iirc...Ah well, thats star power I suppose...We could try a bit of Popperism here. Can anyone think of a bassists association with a brand of basses leading to vertiginous price rises apart from Wal?
