  1. Ive been tooing and froing as Im skint lol. But I could make good use of it, so i'll take it. Pm me payment details and i'll get it sent over. Cheers Mike
  2. Im not sure how many I'll be able to remember, but here we go. I too started off playing through a home made lead into a Stereo, worked ok at very, very low volume lol Carlsbro Viper 100 watt 1x15" combo Then I had an unknown 100 watt 1x15" combo, that was truely awful Laney RBG 300 watt 1x15" combo, the quietest 300 watts ever. Had a Marshall 1x15" cab as an extension which made it loud enough for rehearsals. Then had a GK700 RBII 1x15" combo, paired that with a unkown 2x10" cab. Swapped that for a series 6 Trace 200 head and 2x10" and 1x15" rig, Sold the head and bought an Hartke HA4000, loved that head. Swapped the trace cabs and bought a Marshall VBC 4x12", with the Hartke Head that was a thunderous rig I then had a Ashdown Mag head, which blew up so bought a TC Electric head which had a fault and had no volume, swapped that for a GK1001RB Head. Sold the Marshall and bought a (I think) TC Electronic 4x12" cab, had 2 speakers angled to the side. For a 4x12" only weighed 60lb. Then sold the 4x12" cab and bought my first pair of Aguilar GS 1x12". Which I then swapped for an Epifani UL310 Sold the GK head and bought an Aguilar AG500SC head. Then swapped that rig for a 2x10" Markbass Combo. Then sold up everything. Came back to playing last year and bought an SWR Working Pro 700 head and Triad Cab. Sold the cab and then bought an Epifani UL410, which Ive just sold and bought my second pair of Aguilar GS1x12"s Somewhere in there Ive forgotten to ad in a Trace Elliot 1510 cab and a Behringer 2x10" cab and I also had an Ashdown EB 130 watt combo.
  3. I have the same model of Sandberg, simply a stunning Jazz bass, amazing neck and with the JM PuP config a stunning sound. Free Bump for you
  4. How much do you think postage would be? I may be interested!
  5. I just bought an Auralex Gramma Board, used it for the first time tonight during my bands rehearsal. Made a HUGE diference, we practise in our singers garage on a concrete floor, always struggled to hear my self in this enviroment, well not tonight. Had to play with the eq to get it right but my rig sounded amazing, really defined punch and low end. Cant wait to try it at gigs now!!
  6. Ah for me it would have to be my 1979 black/black/maple P Bass, What was I thinking getting rid of that one, superb bass. Another bass related item I really wish I hadnt get rid of was my Akai UniBass, could really do with that now.....
  7. How about a trade for a 1986 All black Fender MIJ P Bass, with Black Badass II bridge. Sounds awesome, and has an really good neck with a nice low action?
  8. This was taken at Saturday nights gig, I really dont know why I always look so serious I really do enjoy playing lol. [attachment=94533:royal formby.jpg]
  9. My covers band opened the show for this years turn on of the Preston Christmas lights, when we came out I didnt look at the crowd (wed sound checked to a couple of hundred), put my bass on, turned on my wireless and then turned round to the BIGGEST crowd Ive ever played too, and Im sure ever will. Real radio estimated there where 11,000 people there in total!! By far my best experience as a bass player.
  10. Ive learnt quite a few over the last 2 months after my few years off. Loads of fun and not many songs Ive played before. Having said that the last song I learnt was 'Mountains' by Biffy Clyro, the band played it for the first time at saturdays gig and went ok. I certainly love playing it.
  11. Last nights gig was a lot of fun. It was only my third gig with the band and we played 3 new songs. Really happy with the sound of my rig, and really loving the Sandberg.[attachment=94433:P1030561.JPG]

  13. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1322338509' post='1449697'] Anything John Deacon didn't play on a Stingray for me, legend [/quote] +100 I also like most things Roger Waters did with PF, esp One of These Days
  14. Out of all the rigs Ive had I think my fav sound was a Hartke HA4000 and a Marshall 4x12". Although I do like what Im getting from my SWR working pro 700 and Aguilars GS112s
