  1. Thanks Chris, yes, good bass and they do seem generally well thought of
  2. Mods, please feel free to move, delete, execute.......... We (Troyen) are on t'internet radio at 9pm tonight, then streamed for 24 hours afterward, with inbetween guff by one of the gaytartists, Nick. Could I ask that 2 of you double our audience please (for a couple of minutes) [url="http://roaddogs.fastcast4u.com/"]http://roaddogs.fastcast4u.com/[/url] If you are daft enough, ta!
  3. Thanks Martin, bit of a brain fart yesterday. I suddenly may need some money for an unexpected issue, so remove a "for sale" item. Genius For the sake of clarity, this splendid jazz is for sale, cheers, Karl.
  4. Steph's, The Club That Rocks, Concett, Saturday 12th March from 8pm. Two original NWOBHM bands, free entry. All original material, be good if any BC'ers and friends could make it, cheers, Karl.
  5. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1457629835' post='3000422'] Call Alex and explain. [/quote] Thanks but I'm a big enough muppet without public confession. Oh, wait........ [quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1457631913' post='3000457'] If you find yourself South Manchester way, I'll sort it for you Karl. [/quote] That's really kind Mr Bunny, you and MB1. Top Basschat chaps! [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1457631920' post='3000459'] Good evening, Karl... Having read through the instructions you've linked, it seems very straightforward to me as a founding member of the Old, Arthritic Clumsy Oaf club, and I wouldn't hesitate in doing this myself, with the proviso that one heeds the [size=5]Very First Line[/size] of said instructions. The key is to unscrew the bolt without pushing downwards on the screw, as this would entail possibly pushing the fixed, captive nut that's inside out of its lodging. It would then drop inside, lost forever. Unscrew those bolts with just the minimum pressure needed to keep the screwdriver in the head of the bolt, ensuring that the bolt rises as you turn it. If the bolt does not rise, stop at once before losing the nut inside and get the experts in. Once the head has risen, even slightly, it can help, too, to use a pair of long-nosed pliers under the head; not to grip tightly, but just to be able to ease the head up as it's being unscrewed. It may help (but complicates things..!) to turn the cab upside down, and work underneath, so that gravity helps the bolt to come out. Hope this doesn't frighten you too much, and wishing every success in your endeavour. Are there no friendly DIY neighbours or family that could advise or help..? [/quote] Excellent Dad, I understand that MUCH BETTER!!! [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1457631936' post='3000460'] Reading through the instructions, they've used T nuts on the inside of the cab. The T nut has prongs on it that bite into the wood as you tighten the bolt into it... All you have to watch out for is that you don't push down on the screw as you turn it - do that and the nut will disattach itself from the wood inside and then you'll have to remove the speaker to get it back. Seriously, it's so easy that even a Mod could do it... [/quote] Ian, legend, now I can visualise I can figure THANKS LADS, top work!
  6. Guess I'm missing something here. Any helpful comments?
  7. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1457625646' post='3000351'] This is a joke... right? [/quote] Erm, no, a request for any experience, tips. I'm old with knackered eyesight and arthritic fingers hence the question.
  8. I'm suddenly in a position where I need to put a spending freeze on, but I do need to spend on one thing! I need to replace the handles (1 in particular) on my Barefaced Supertwin. Now understand, I make Frank Spencer look handy in Destroy It Yourself. Link shows instructions (scroll way down). http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/T-shirtsandspares.htm Anybody done this? Tips? I'd hate to lose my nuts and I know if I end up taking it apart it will never work again . Thanks in advance collective
  9. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1457551279' post='2999635'] Looking for one Karl, shame it's too heavy or I'd have your hand off for that [/quote] Tom, I know you need sub 8.5lbs, unfortunately there are very few US Standard jazzes ever recorded below that weight [quote name='ead' timestamp='1457557179' post='2999704'] Nice bass, apalling timing for me as just put a deposit down on a Sandberg Cali II TT. [/quote] How it always goes Alain, enjoy the Cali (must admit I rather like the look of the now defunct Umbo )
  10. Tom, I had a pm conversation with Jim, he's in Nottingham on Saturday, but he also said he could courier if required. Until my black jazz goes, I can't get anything else, so currently you won't need to fight me for it
  11. [URL=http://s306.photobucket.com/user/rushbo1/media/Blackbird/IMAG0147_zpsbcwcmqut.jpg.html][IMG]http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/rushbo1/Blackbird/IMAG0147_zpsbcwcmqut.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Nice
  12. [quote name='Pestie' timestamp='1457530705' post='2999400'] Hello Everyone Has anybody had one of these MIM Jazz's? I have been looking at one elsewhere but don't know what they are like. Any views or suggestions will be gratefully received. It's part of my ongoing search for a Jazz that I can get on with. Cheers Mike (Pestie) [/quote] Mike, as ever, these are very individual things. My Road Worn that you got was great, but, to my shame, I struggle to see where I am at the dusty end of a rosewood board nowadays. I blame stage lighting Seriously, set yourself some time to go to some of the big shops and try loads out. REMEMBER they are likely to be AT BEST not set up to your optimal liking in a shop. Any that come up on here or Bumtree/FEEBay, that are close enough to try, go try them (always leave your family a note of the address you are going to, likely time back etc). When you find the one, get it. Or be a complete %^$£^%$"" like me and just hoss trade 83% of basses known to man Good luck and enjoy the hunt, Karl.
  13. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1457522121' post='2999264'] Superb amp. I have a Bonafide and a Puma 300 by Tecamp and they are just the business. Another fab feature on these is the rehearsal section - plug in an iPod and headphones and you can rehearse to your hearts content with no cab needed. Karl is also a top fella to deal with, so I am sure this will be gone soon. [/quote] [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1457522171' post='2999265'] TTE's are great heads. Very good choice. Dan's TF is my old one. It's a top notch bass. [/quote] Thanks Gareth, appreciated [quote name='IanA' timestamp='1457524230' post='2999293'] I Need to check in with the doctor I think Just picked up Fretmeisters CN112's... Hoping I am done for a while although if an AVRI precision turns up... [/quote] Ian, you have NO idea how much I lusted after that Red 63RI Precision Rich had for sale As I said, terminal GAS
  14. Thanks Joe, it is a good bass. I appear to now have 2 P/Js, 2 jazzes, a Sterling and a R Faker. 3 of these basses are black black and maple. Summat's gotta go
  15. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1457502236' post='2999082'] +1 One of those that I imagine sounds as wonderful as it looks. GLWTS [/quote] Worse than that I've taken action to try to help buy this or JimiElliotts . I'm so bloody weak
  16. Terminal Ian, you? I'm down to 1 cab now and I've got it into my head that a TTE will make my "stack" look more macho . Yup, that sad. Apart from that, I'm only lusting after DanEly and JimmiElliotts Precisions. Which is pretty good for me
  17. Looking to get a MarkBass TTE again so putting this lovely little amp up. Was £565 almost a year back, including TecAmp gig bag (not shown but included, it's in the loft). As far as I can see it's unmarked, immaculate. TecAmp now appears to be US based, so if you can get a new one, I think it might be a good bit more. EICH are the new company set up by the brains behind TecAmp and the new equivalent gear is a little more expensive. Link to spec. [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Tecamp_BAss_500_amplifier.html"]http://www.bassdirec..._amplifier.html[/url] Great, powerful, simple amps. £400 collected from Wigan, £420 UK insured courier (I have the original box). Any trial in Wigan, feedback at bottom of post, nowt much else to say. Plenty of discussion in the "Gear" Amps and cabs forum. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

  18. I've managed to get myself back up to 6 basses, of which 3 are black, black, maple. So Fender American Standard Jazz, made in USA 2005. Weight 9lb 5oz. Condition very good although it does have "certain light swirling" and a couple of tiny dints that I can't photo. Can't see any of that more than a foot away. S1 does make a difference, giving it more P sound, bass plays and sounds great. Apologies for photos but as usual it's raining in Wigan! £700 collected (or meet up within reason) £725 couriered. Embarrassingly long feedback link at bottom of thread. Any trial in Wigan would be great, questions welcome but ultimately it's just a good Fender jazz! Thanks for looking, Karl.

  19. Met up with Tom today, to complete a deal. Lovely fella, absolute joy to both deal with and meet up with. An absolute gent who is fully recommended so deal with confidence. Enjoy Tom and thanks for making it all so easy, cheers, Karl.
  20. Tom, nut width 1.625" Ash, most reviews put them between 9/9.25lbs Produced in 2011 although odd one still available in 2014 as they were expensive new. Can't see dints, dents etc in the photos but I've only seen one of these that wasn't mollycoddled. Lovely bass and VERY tempting! Mr Elliott, would be good to know if you would courier, as the center of the universe is 200 miles from me
  21. Sorry to hear you are unwell Mr. P. Regarding courier, is there none of the Basschat Massive in Cardiff that can pop around for half an hour, help you out? Something like the Hiscox, I'd be just tempted to pull a black bin bag over each end, then tape them in the middle. Sorry, I'm 200 miles away or I'd come and give you a hand. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
  22. [quote name='pete_the_beat' timestamp='1457350329' post='2997534'] You're welcome. That idea sounds interesting. Be sure to post pics [/quote] Don't hold your breath, I'm Frank Spencer to both DIY and photography
  23. [quote name='pete_the_beat' timestamp='1457346775' post='2997487'] I don't know which amp stand ghost_bass uses, but I'm currently using a [url="https://www.thomann.de/dk/km_28130_ampstaender.htm"]K&M amp stand[/url] with my Big Baby II and TC RH450 on top. The stand can handle 35kg so it's no problem at all and I get the best sounding bass monitor on the planet, when I'm playing with a large PA. [/quote] Excellent, thanks for that. It actually has go me thinking about a slight variation using a fishing seat box trolley and pipe foam. Ho hum, thinks
  24. This is a steal! I'm meeting Tom on Tuesday. IF ANYBODY from the north west or north east wants this cab PAY ATTENTION I can get it to Wigan for any guys in the NW. We can make arrangements from that point. I can get it to the North East, on Saturday 12th March, as I am gigging at Steph's in Consett. On that Saturday I can go up the west as far as Penrith, or alternatively go M62/A1 and meet up along that route. Or you can come down to Consett and collect from there. Please though, I will be on a tight-ish schedule on that Saturday. You will have no courier charge, you won't have to wait in for a courier to chuck it over the fence You will, however, have to sort out paying Tom, I want nowt to do with the loot I had a Schro 410BMF, best cab I've ever had, but circs changed and I had to go smaller. Good luck Tom, cracking cab.
