    This popped up on my phone earlier today when trying to retrieve my PM's. I shut the tab down and opened up again. Bit odd. My phone is a Motorola

    SOLD - IBANEZ SOUNDGEAR. - SOLD A great bass, all the usual Soundgear features, slim neck, ergonomic body, great build quality. This one is passive with separate Volume and Tone for each pickup. Also, one of the tone controls is a series parallel switch...so you can have a HUGE humbucker if you want. Great tone and easy to play.

    SOLD - Behringer ULTRAGRAPH PRO FBQ1502 Giving up music, so this is up for sale. Good piece of kit. I still have the box etc.

    NO LONGER FOR SALE: WITHDRAWN Squier VM Precision I love this bass, it's genuinely lovely. However, I'm giving up music so it needs to be with someone who's going to play it, because basses need to be played. It's not been modified, the pickups etc are as they are. It does have a few screw holes from where some pickup and bridge covers were fitted. It's currently fitted with some Fender flatwounds, which makes it sound even more greaterer than it did before. The bass could be exchanged/dropped off at a convenient place on the M5/M4 around Bristol or Swindon. My brother-in-law travels back to work every Sunday and passes these places and kindly offered to take the bass and meet a buyer at a convenient drop off on a motorway. Body & Bridge: Body: Soft Maple Body Shape: Precision Bass Bridge: Standard 4-Saddle Pickguard: 3-Ply Black/White/Black Finish: Polyester Colour: Amber Neck: Finger Board Radius: 9.5" Radius (241 mm) Scale Length: 34" (863.6 mm) Nut Width: 1.625" (41.3 mm) Inlays: Dot Position Inlays Pickups & Hardware: Hardware: Chrome Tuning Keys: Standard Open-Gear Tuners Pickups: Duncan Designedª PB101 Split Single-Coil Pickup Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone (Knurled Chrome Dome Control Knobs)

    Schroeder 1212L I'm giving up music completely, so this needs a new home where it'll get used. It's a great gigging cab. It's quite small but LOUD. I've been using it with a 350w head and it easily competes with unsubtle drummers and guitarists. The cab has a genuine Schroeder cover. Drivers - Two 12” Custom Neodymium Woofer Horn - 200 Watts Heavy Duty Titanium Bullet Tweeter Inputs - Dual Speakon In/Out Frequency Response - 35 Hz - 20 kHz Impedance - 4 or 8 Ohm Watts - 800 Watts Rms Maximum Decibels - 103 dB Spl@ 1W/1M Weight - 43 lbs. Dimensions - 23.5”W x 23.5”H x 15”D Can be collected from North Devon or Bath. .

    Tort. I'm surprised you even asked 🤪😀

    I used to use a guitar 4x12 at practice with one band. It sounded quite decent (it was pretty beaten up to be fair), you just had to be mindful not to push it with the lows or volume, otherwise you'd start to hear the drivers complain.

    I've had 2 Squier Precisions. A late 80's Korean, which was lovely. The neck looked like flame maple, it sounded great and looked great...so obviously I sold it. And currently I have a Vintage Modified. That's great as well, so I obviously put a different neck on it (I've still got the original neck). They're good basses. I shoudn't like the VM, it's the wrong colour, but I love it...well, I did when I was playing, before my band split up, I hate singers, did I mention I hate singers?

    From what I can remember the SR and SRX ranges are quite different in some respects. The body of the SR is a lot slimmer and contoured than the SRX. The SRX is a more traditional slab with contour cuts. And I think the neck on the SRX is 'chunkier' than the SR range. They look sort of similar but are actually quite different. If it was a case of going from an SR300 to a SR500 than that is a direct step up, but this is more of a step across to something a bit different.

    I think he's rather good. When I started playing bass PM was someone who stood out for me.

    Basschat is fairly unique though, it is quite active. In comparison, I've just joined an angling forum...it's slower than a day with no bites.
  19. Marvin
    Is it? To be honest I never frequent the place...but that's because i can't play guitar so there's little point.

    He's not as good as Mark King. 😶 Old joke, couldn't resist. As you were.

    Sire are moving a million miles from what it's original selling pitch was. The price of the V7 is now £130+ more than what I paid for mine when they first came out. Even taking into account all the usual's, that's still a big hike IMO. The V7 used to be competitive with a Squier. The V3s are now approaching the price at what the V7s started at. I think it's a little disappointing that Sire seem to be creating ever more expensive basses. I also think the V10 looks awful 😛

    I got that wrong, it wasn't the neck profile that was changed, it was the fretboard radius. I like the version 1 radius a lot (7.25in). It's a minor thing but the radius is now flatter I believe.

    I've never developed even hard skin on the finger tips of my 'plucking' hand. Even on my fretting hand though I only get slightly hardened finger tips. I must play quite light and could probably get away with a lower action. I set my basses up acoustically and to have not rattles or buzzes when plucking the strings quite hard. Don't know why I do this 😳😊

    There’s an Ashdown MAG 15combo at the jam night I used to go to. There’s nothing about it I like, nothing. It’s part of the reason I don’t go to that jam night anymore because I dislike using it that much. I used my own gear in the same pub and it simply reaffirmed my negativity towards that combo. I had an Ashdown ABM500 a few years ago that had a fault. I didn’t find Ashdown very helpful when I contacted them tbh. They didn’t even point me in the direction of an authorised tech in my area.

    Peavey. I’ve played through both and the Peavey was a much better amp. I didn’t like the Ashdown at all.
