    Still got the original hard case with it Tommo?

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1482760829' post='3202553'] Interesting and very strange-looking, certainly. But £850 for what is by any measure cheapo communist-era East German tat? Contender for the most spectacularly ambitious overpricing yet seen on Ebay, surely! [/quote] Perhaps, but I saw a Futurama up at £600 not so long back. I put mine in the skip, they really were that sh*te.

    [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1482710710' post='3202352'] Karl, lets not do that. Remember we are British after all. Chocks away and all that... [/quote] Listen Dunc, the last time I took my shirt off somebody called Greenpeace

    So a few folk do think like me. That's comforting . The only cab I would replace the Schroeder 212 (+titanium bullet horn) with is a Barefaced SuperTwelve.

    IMO these basses are actually pure dead astonishing. I played one in a shop 2 years ago. For 2 hours. The neck is just so fluid. The pick up is amazingly versatile. They are very light. Just such a great sounding, easy to play, great looking, simple bass. The ONLY reason I did not buy the one I tried was the shop manager went out for a long time and his no. 2 would not authorise £600 trade in for an excellent US Precision. . Oh, and the shop was 250 miles from where I live. Still rankles to this day. The one that got away.

    I've been following this girl's journey northwards this year. She is still tempting and has worked her way 200 miles closer. Ho hum, what to do

    Iv'e PM'd you (on a different matter) on Facebook Andy. Have a bump for this excellent amp.
  12. karlfer
    Over the last couple of years Damon has become a good friend. Top bloke to deal with it and a really honest, warm hearted guy. Deal with utmost confidence folks.

    Been around for a long time. Ask on Rickenfakers on Facebook, a few there have had/got BaCHs.

    Meh, some of us were gigging Ibbys before the OP had picked a bass up [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/001_zpsrvzbg7ay.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/001_zpsrvzbg7ay.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Excellent stuff Bill and Phil, many thanks. Not going to worry too much about my Markbass and Schro, I don't do owt daft and they are way more powerful than I REALLY need. At least to my ears

    Interesting there appears to be a bit of a resurgence in Ashdown love.

    [quote name='ashsagar' timestamp='1482315665' post='3199423'] I'd like to be able to sell some stuff to make some money so I could buy this :/ [/quote] Amen to that!

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1482313738' post='3199383'] Thanks to all, glad it strikes a chord The straplock is situated a little further forward on the end of the heel, which, with the Ultralights, is enough to get it to balance nicely. The Lakland neck was quartersawn, it was just the fretboard which was very highly figured, so I was surprised it was so unstable. Both my other Shukers are solid as a rock, though the winner for Never Even Going Out Of Tune is my Dingwall I will Karl - it's somewhere in Germany...let me dig the link out... Here you go: [url="http://www.crazyparts.de/pickup-making-parts/pickupcovers/misc/gibson-thunderbird-pu-cover-chrome.php"]http://www.crazypart...over-chrome.php[/url] They do the rings on there, too... [/quote] Brilliant Muzz, ta fella. To think, all these years I could have had a good looking TBird (hate the black plastic pup covers, fickle, moi?)

    Keep at it. Phantom is the one I've never gotten right. There's one bit about half way through which I simply can not do. I know the notes. I know the order. I know the speed. Can't get all 3 together though Comes in at 3:37 on this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-K36JrFRdc
  20. karlfer
    Brilliant result, well done. And, WELL DONE ORANGE !!!!!
  21. karlfer
    Muzz, you need to provide a link to those chromy pup covers. It's the law.
  22. karlfer
    Oh, go on then. Let's have a "not one bit of interest in 8 days" half hearted bump. I mean, 50p per watt, + expensive handbag + fancy scrunchy to hold a bass to the cab. You want the shirt off my back as well?
  23. karlfer
    I recently missed out on a bargain one of these, from a chap I know in Liverpool. Terrific amps with your choice of dead simple good sounding eq OR nuking that one tiny bit of frequency you hate. Very versatile. Very tempting
  24. karlfer
    Genuine question. Why are big old speakers more efficient?
  25. karlfer
    Stunning, much nicer Antigua than the 2012 RI's. I'm £600 short, might be time to get my Candy Apple Red Am Special Precision back up. In the meantime, good luck with your sale, beautiful.
