    Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 15 years, you know what these are all about. This has served me faithfully since I bought it from @Etienne in October 2009; it has always lived in a rack case and is pretty much in as-new condition. Light and very loud, the perfect combination. The volume control scratches a bit on start-up but it's done that as long as I've had it. My newer Shuttle 9.2 does the same thing, so I reckon it must be a Genz design feature it only does it when turned and has no effect on the sound when playing. You'll notice in the pics that some of the LEDs appear marked... these are blobs of tipp-ex I've painted on the blue ones in an attempt to make them less blindingly bright. Easily scraped off if you prefer the airport-landing-lights look. FEATURES: • Ultra-light 3.75 lb Design -- lighter than two bags of flour • Power: 375W into 8 ohms, 600W into 4 ohms • 12AX7 Valve Preamp (fitted with new Electro Harmonix tube), Class D Power Amp • Limiter Circuit • High-pass filter (a la Thumpinator) • V.quiet Fan Cooling • Dimensions: 63mm H x 250mm W x 267mm D I think the pics show pretty much everything, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate etc. Obviously collection from my home near Bristol is far preferred, or I can meet up within a reasonable distance. Alternatively, as the pics show I still have the original box and protective foam stuff so it could be shipped at cost. Shipping would be very much not my first preference though.

    Not exactly an IKEA solution, but a furniture conversion nonetheless. Take one old wardrobe, remove everything except the top shelf, install Warwick guitar rack, and now my basses have nice safe dust- and sunlight-proof storage. Miscellaneous bits live on the shelf (batteries, tuner, books, etc etc etc), and straps/ leads/ stage clothes/ whatever hang inside the doors. The wardrobe itself is a bit cheap and nasty, so at some point I'm going to source another nicer/more contemporary one. Maybe even an IKEA one

    I wear t- or polo shirts with the ska band, and a long-sleeved shirt (sleeves rolled up part way) with the soul band. I don't like playing in unrolled long sleeves.

    People have been hung, drawn and quartered for far lesser offences than that. I hope that one day I can meet the person responsible for it and shake him warmly by the throat.

    Genuine LOL. Love it. I will definitely be using this in future.

    I'd want money to be even seen with it.

    I played drums at school and they were my 1st love, but bass is my true love. I'd quite happily have stuck with the tubthumping though, and no doubt by now I would have surrounded myself with a vast array of acoustic and electronic percussion. Oh you'd love my mate's tiny vintage Slingerland Gene Krupa kit. Very compact and monumentally cool.

    And finally, it's finished. If I had the patience, I could have operated on the decal and made it follow the curve closer, but it's fine for my needs. Assuming nothing else breaks, that really is The End

    Hold on, I thought we'd already had the stripper story?

    And start yelling for more after your last song. Followed of course by the grimly inevitable "Can my boyfriend/brother/uncle/mate have a go on your guitar? He's dead good, he used to play with the Drifters".

    God, aren't they just. I remember when Kiwi brought his round to my gaff. We set my rig up in the garage to give it a blast. It literally made shelves fall off the walls.

    I have a somewhat modified Thunder 1A - it plays really nicely and sounds huge, especially with the pickup in series. BUT. It is indeed a weighty old beast and, unfortunately, the neck dives like an Argentinian footballer. That top body horn is just too short. Can't comment on the SB as I've never even laid a finger on one, but that string spacing does look awfy narrow.

    If I tried that it'd take me half an hour to get on my feet again. I practice and rehearse on my árse, but play gigs on my feet. I've played a couple of gigs seated in the past, but that was when I had a serious cartilage problem in my knee which made standing for long periods v.painful.

    I've reported all his ads as scams, and his profile too. Not that I'm expecting it to achieve much.

    Sei Flamboyant 5 string. It was a stunning instrument -- I mean, just look at it -- but I couldn't get the setup right, so in a fit of pique I sold it. What a stupid, stupid move. Piezo bridge, Schack eq, Bart pickups (wasn't super-keen on them, but that's an easy fix), blue edge LEDs and a whole forest of stunning walnut. I should have given it to a luthier and got them to do it properly, hell I should have taken it home to Camden -- a decent setup and a set of Delanos and it would have been simply perfect. It was beautifully made, felt great to play (apart from my crap set-up job) and the sound was to die for. I often kick myself, very hard, for letting that one go. Arrrgh. Ouch (just kicked myself again).
