    Hello Jamie. Are these MK1 or MK11 ? Do they stack vertically (I know they have unusual plastci corner pieces)? Are you likely to look at courier eventually? Good luck, Karl.

    Out of curiosity Ed, what is the wattage rating of this wonderful cab?

    I just got this off Steve. Astonishing sound, but too big for an old git like me. I under estimated the dimensions. I am asking more than I paid. Steve was really helpful with a meet and I put 6 hours driving and a lot of fuel into collecting. I am prepared to do the same again. Hence the price. If somebody collects from Wigan, more than happy to chat about the price. If you don't like the price, then you won't want to buy it will you TRADES. GEN3 SuperTwin with cloth front. The BIG fella of GEN 2. Don't come up too often, this model. Just insanely powerful. Very good condition although the handles are showing rough, 3 new ones from Alex are £16. Bass in picture not included, just to provide scale. This fella, at this spec, delivered new, would have set you back £1170. Plus the cost of the Roqsolid cover. Will meet up, no extra charge, within 100 miles of Wigan. Spec [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/big-one.htm"]http://barefacedbass...nge/big-one.htm[/url] Feedback available, any trial in Wigan, cheers, Karl.

    Bert has just bought a bass from me. Decisive, helpful and a thoroughly nice guy to boot. Thanks for making it so easy Bert, an absolute pleasure. Fully recommended folks, thanks again, cheers, Karl.

    Just done a deal with Steve. Absolute gent, decisive, did what he said he'd do, when he said he'd do it. Gear bang on as described. Really nice friendly bloke to deal with, fully recommended by the House of Munster. Enjoy tonight's gig Steve and thanks for making it so easy.

    Hi guys hope you can help with confirmation. It's a late 70's Jazz, so confirmation is a VERY hopeful word The pots are 1377514, so week 14, 1975 Can't quite figure the bottom of pups, it's 75 or 76, bit smudgy. The other pup has grey bottom but printing's worn off. I thought it was 76/77, but it's got Made in USA on the front of the headstock, which to me suggests 80's. That's the bit that really nags me. It's also got S7 serial which I thought was from 78 onwards, but some suggest from late 76. I don't expect anybody to tell me it was born on the 2nd of February X year, but some knowledge would be really helpful. Cheers in advance folks, Karl.

    [quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1470764519' post='3108289'] Oh God no, I didn't mean it like that! I said "nosey parker" as a punctuation, most definitely not an insult. I'm 39 and kinda poor. I'm not proud of it. I have no wish to be cheeky to anyone on the forum! [/quote] And he won't have taken it as an insult. He will have chuckled

    Thank you gents. I see you kindly took me at my word. IE barracking . Whilst Hofner would be very appropriate for one of next years gigs, I refuse point blank to ever play one of those again .

    [quote name='bassgurumonster' timestamp='1470690848' post='3107760'] [/quote] Shut up Mike [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1470691676' post='3107771'] Surely this merits more explanation..? What '50s amp are you using for this new venture..? And what 'period' strings..? I'm glad I'm a drummer; would't want to have to play on a '50s kit..! Are your band mates equally as zealous as you, or are they a sensible lot..? This forum would be the poorer without these topics, though..! [/quote] 50's STYLE dad, I know you're a drummer but try to pay attention [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1470692058' post='3107773'] This breaks my heart Karl... I was hoping you would hang on to this long enough to to shift my bass and get some pennies together. After reading some of the horror stories on these basses, I instantly loved this one when I played it. The pickups are very full, and the neck pickup could almost pass for a p. Neck is very comfy and I have tiny hands, so don't stress about the slightly deeper neck profile. It is reliced quite heavily as you would expect, but it is very light, noticeable after playing his old Adam Clayton. Someone is getting a steal!!!! [/quote] Thanks Damon, but the bigger shows aren't until next year and I'm very unlikely to get the trade I'm looking for. So, I'll save up and you can save up . Hope 1st contact was good [quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1470692385' post='3107777'] Switch to the neck pickup and say it's a '59. [/quote] Sadly they know jazzes weren't around in the 50's. It needs to be a P. They would like it to be blue, but that ain't happening

    David Konig (Retrovibe) will do a great set up on the basses he supplies. He has a lot of fans. Have a chat with him and tell him Karl recommended his gear, but more importantly, his care and service.

    Save another £30 and do it properly 4 ohm version to get the most out of a head. https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/TRV102P4OHM/bass-cabs/markbass-trv-102-p-4-ohm-traveller-bass-cabinet?LGWCODE=TRV102P4OHM;56375;6335&gclid=COC8-I_Mss4CFRaeGwodmnUGvg

    2016 Fender Flea Jazz. Not really for sale. Due to a new band I need a 50's style Precision. Hope DamonJames will help me out with a testimonial to this bass. It's one of the very light and good ones IMO. I have cleaned off the mucky film they put on the scratchplates. TRADE REQUIRED REALLY. I would VERY much like to give somebody this bass plus some cash for a splendid conditioned Fender American Vintage 57 Reissue Precision. Preferably Sunburst, but any really.

    Last night, instead of using the Flea both sets, I used it 1st set and returned to my beloved FSR P/J for the second set. Was quite shocked how much more powerful the Flea pups are . I had to significantly turn up the gain and volume to get back to the sound level I'd had with the Flea in the 1st set. I really was rather surprised.
