  1. I got this recently as part of an amp trade, but I don't need it, so it can go. It's the medium size bag, holds lots of stuff, big compartment (14" x 12.5") which will hold, say, a LMIII or shuttle with room to spare, and lots of other zipped pockets. It's seen some action, but it's all there, no rips or tears, and all the zips work great. Has a shoulder strap. These go for £70, so how about £25? I'd say add a fiver P&P, which should do it to the mainland UK. Cheers. [attachment=121436:DSCF0781.JPG] [attachment=121437:DSCF0782.JPG] [attachment=121438:DSCF0783.JPG]
  2. OK, the clearout continues...just the guitar Amplug left. Vox Amplug, these are a really handy way of rehearsing silently with your MP3 player: stick a couple of AAAs in, plug it into your guitar, plug your headphones and the MP3 in the Aux in, and you're off. I'm selling the Metal one, which has some nice distortion sounds. Battery life is given on the Vox site as 15 hours. They go for £35, let's say £20 posted. In fully working, great nick.

  3. OK, I've just got a Streamliner, which came with a rackmount kit - I have a large rucksack in which I keep all my gear, and there's room in it for the Streamliner, so this can go. It's a 2U rackmount bracket which is made for the Streamliners, so if you have a rack into which you want to include your Streamliner, or even if you just want to give it the maximum protection, then this is the only game in town. They're £80 at Bass Direct, so how about we say £35 plus the P&P? [attachment=121432:DSCF0779.JPG] [attachment=121433:DSCF0780.JPG]
  4. As a matter of interest, isn't this the 550 Spyder in a different form factor/casing? The specs look very similar, as does the EQ, and the description of the switches being very interactive with each other does, too. Just wondering, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along to confirm (or not) shortly
  5. I use my 900 with a Schroeder 1515L, 39lbs of 2x15 loveliness, and it's a good match. The Schroeders are low-mid biased, which is a nice match.
  6. A rescued-from-page-three bump...
  7. Oh my word...that's lovely.
  8. Ah, thanks for the info!
  9. OK, so following my bass GAS being pretty much damped down by the Dingwall, I started to play around with my amps, and I now have too many of those instead, so this has to go. It's the Spyder 550 rackmount head, which has the preamp section from the 427 Small Block, with 2 x valves (12AX7 and 12AU7) and passive tone stack, combined with the power section from the ABM series - plenty of power here... Here's the official Ashdown blurb - although the phrase "Uber-cool" might be questionable: [size=2][size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]This Über-cool rackmount head combines the warmth and grind of the 427 Small Block's all-tube preamp with the dynamics of Ashdown's tour-proven 500-Watt ABM power stage.[/font][/size][/size] [size=2][size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The 550 Spyder head features High and Low gain inputs, front panel-mounted Effects Send and Return, rotary Bass, Middle and Treble controls with Mid Shift, Bass Shift and Bright switching, Mute switch, rotary Gain and Master volume controls and balanced DI output with Pre/Post switching.[/font][/size][/size] [size=2][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Price dropped to £275 plus postage of (UK mainland) about £20 - it'll be very well packed and insured.[/size][/font][/size] [size=2][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Cheers,[/size][/font][/size] [size=2][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Muzz[/size][/font][/size]
  10. Chris and I just completed a (part-) exchange of amps, the transaction couldn't have been easier. Recommended as one of the good guys. Cheers, Muzz
  11. I've fitted a 3-band with mid-sweep. Pretty good, nothing startling, but for the money, they're good.
  12. 1964 Precision with a maple board = ££££££££s, so no, don't think so...
  13. OK, another bump before Plan B (no, not that Plan B, another one) goes into operation next week...
  14. Yep, I learn them fully, but then I'll make the line suit the band and how we play the song if it's different to the original. Couple of cases in point for the function band: just done This Charming Man note for note, but I play Sweet Child o Mine (apart from the iconic first lines) to fit the vibe/groove on the day.
  15. I'm a fan of Wizards - I've put a Thumper in a few basses now, I like the sound. As far as bridges go, my favourite is the Schaller 3D, which allows side-to-side string adjustment to line up with pole pieces, etc, but the main reason I like it is it's comfier for my hand to rest on. As far as sustain goes, never noticed any real difference, and I've replaced a lot of BBOT bridges. I'd say the Badass is currently very expensive for what it is.
  16. Love my Dingwall ABZ (even better than my AB1), it's survived several new basses coming and going, which is a pretty good sign of a keeper. Most of my remaining basses these days (other than the Overwater and the AB1, which I'm selling) are keepers, too, mainly because I've either built or extensively modded them myself, which brings a certain emotional attachment. None of them are what you'd call high-value, boutique basses (I've sold most of those that I've owned), but they suit me now I've learned what I like in a bass.
  17. I fit them as a matter of course on just about all my keeper basses. Great piece of kit.
  18. My first bass was one of these, back in, erm, probably 77. Utter pile of, but it got me started. I think it was £22.
  19. Dingwall!
  20. I've a friend who has a similar one (a 4-string which used to be mine), and that's a Lowden-era one. There are folks on here who are more expert than me who can give a more definitive answer, but it's a lovely bass nonetheless.
  21. Got a bit of time this morning (on shifts 12pm - 8pm) to work on new set songs for the function band - Rosanna, You Can Call Me Al, and the latest song shoehorned into the funk section of the set - the Starsky and Hutch theme. The last one's the most fun by a long way... Anyway, a bit of playing to set me up for a day of mither in work...
  22. If that lovely neck had a maple board I'd have been round to your house two days ago, dragging all my gear for you to pick over - it's a great-looking bass, damn my rosewood aversion
  23. I've got a '93, virtually the same as this (mine just has those two odd cutouts either side of the neck pocket), which has the best neck of anything I've ever played. I just wish it was this colour...
  24. I had a 78 Jazz, and that was horrible, too. Looked the part, weighed a ton (2oz under 12lbs!) and sounded...brown.
  25. Yep, I really am proving to be useless at promoting the sale of this bass. Must try harder...
