  1. I wouldn't want to own it, but it's undoubtedly an incredible looking thing!
  2. It's had the ends cut off, so it'll need repaitring. I called in Fender's lifetime warranty, and they wanted a pic of it with the ends cut off. They didn't ask for a reciept or anything, they just sent me a free replacement lead. Yay Fender customer support! Free to good home.
  3. As others have said, No there's no VAT, customs, import duty, window tax etc etc - the price you see is the price you pay. I've always had good dealings with Thomann but I have no experience of returns, so can't comment on that - there are a few horror stories on here and elsewhere about DHL/corner shops not accepting stuff. And yes, the UK adapter thing is a bit of a pain! As someone above mentioned, Andertons are also really good, I'd definitely recommend them.
  4. Very nice and VERY expensive. I'd rather have an original with a few battle scars.
  5. I've since discovered another one, five way spliter - Someone save these from landfill!
  6. I've got a 5 way power daisy chain lead you can have for free if you want? DM me.
  7. Is anyone using the Disaster Are DMC micro to control their C4 Presets? Can I use the left hold function on the DMC to engage/bypass the C4 while I'm in Preset mode?
  8. Eight male plugs - seven straight and one angled. Free to a good/neutral home. If it's still here in a week, it's going to landfill and on your own head be it.
  9. Me neither! If You buy it, I promise it will go away forever.
  10. Last night- depping with the Manchester Ska Foundation at a wedding in Buxton. Specials, Madness, Bad Manners, Two Tone type stuff with a couple of reggae numbers thrown in. Good fun to play, great musicians (really have to raise my game which is a good place to be), and a cracking crowd - thought the roof was going to come off when we launched into One Step Beyond. Highlights were the Trombone solo in Ghost Town and the drummer absolutely leathering This is Ska. We got the groom up to sing Kingston Town, he did pretty well considering. Played the P (of course) through the Thumpinator and the Sansamp VTDI (set to flip top) - sounded immense, especially with a touch of Bass Boost on the Reggae numbers. Played pretty well and the band like what I do. They're grateful for me stepping in and I'm grateful to be invited. Had a couple of "I can't believe I get to do this AND I'm getting paid for it" moments. Black Sheep was £3-70 a pint, there was food and it was a good payer. The sort of gig that makes it all worthwhile!
  11. Tonight: Maiden voyage for a new band! Technically the same band but with an added female singer and a new (and very different) setlist. Went really well, considering we were playing Beyonce, Britney, Dua Lipa, Rhianna, Whitney type stuff to a pub mostly full of drunken blokes that had come to watch Rugby and then some Boxing. Couple of rough edges that we'll sort with a couple more gigs, but we had a lot of fun and sounded great. I was ampless (the ONE TIME you don't check the spare Bass amp is in the van...) which wasn't ideal, but the IEMs did OK. On a personal note - I played a 5 String in public for the first time in about 25 years and... the homework paid off. Can't say I didn't drop a note, but I did pretty well IMHO. As we were packing up, the drummer said (out of nowhere) "You're an absolute dude, I f***ing love gigging with you" and the Boss said words to the effect of "well. you're always on it", so I'm happy with that!
  12. I bought fretmeister's Source Audio C4 and he was a pleasure to deal with all the way - great item, good price, good comms, quick (and free Special Delivery) postage, couldn't ask for more. Top Man.
  13. Just to be clear, the pictured case is NOT included, just the tatty gigbag mentioned in the listing.
  14. PRICE DROO TO £550 Sterling Ray35 5String. Gorgeous Bass, StingRay sound at a fraction of the cost. Excellent condition, I can't see a mark on it. Sounds great, looks great, plays great, is great. Selling as I've had my stupid GAS-addled head turned by a USA Ray 5, at three times the price of this. My idiocy can be your gain! Strung with rounds (no idea what flavour, sorry) with lots of life left in them. Comes with a tatty gigbag that I can't be bothered dragging out of the loft to photo. It is tatty. The Bass is nice though, isn't it? I could do with this gone, so it's now up for £550 Trades - I'm not really after anything, but feel free to ask. I don't really want to post this, but if it's a deal-breaker, please get in touch and we can discuss it. I'm in Worcestershire, I'm happy to drive 50 miles ish from Bewdley (near Kidderminster) to hand over. I go to Birmingham a lot, I'm in Manchester 18th November if you're in or near any of those places. If you're near the M6 between Brum and Manchester, I could drop off on my way there or back. The pictured MM hard case is not included, nor are my minging feet, nor are my leopard print Converse. Sorry.
  15. NOW £110 Boss SY-1 Synth pedal. Fantastic sounding synth pedal with 100-odd sounds, all of which can be messed about with. Used but great condition. Useful for guitar as well as Bass. Two velcro bits on the base. Complete with box, instructions and rubber base. UK Postage will be £7 Special Delivery (insured and next day). Collection welcome, tea offered. Not really after trades, but you can always ask. Any questions (about the pedal) please ask.
