  1. The link just takes me to an eBay search list of basses. Do I need to scroll to find the Revo? Cheers
  2. Lovely bass, and it’s worth buying from Pete just for the views! 😊 GLWTS.
  3. I bought a classical SR from one of their shops years ago. It was a lovely playing instrument, nicely made and a decent tone. I also bought one the basses, but it became a triggers broom with only the body remaining after all the “upgrades”. Moved on soon after.
  4. Morning Mike I’ll give it a weigh later, forgot about the weight question. Cheers John
  5. Got this out for a play and decided to keep it. It’s a finger funk fiend. Lovely Tony Levin 5’er. £225 collected £250 posted It came with 3 band Audere preamp fitted, but I didn’t get on with that, so fitted a 3 band Nordstrand which, lovely though it was, didn’t float my lightbulbs. Finally bought a 2 band Retrovibe Stinger directly from David, I paid him to fit it for me as he’s only down the road, he did a top job of course and the Stinger gave me the sound that was in my head. It has the side jack still in place if you fancy returning it to a 3 band pre. I wasn’t keen on the original mother of pearl look scratchplate, so I removed it (binned it too I think). Unfortunately replacement scratchplates are as rare as a guitarist turning down a solo, so @TimAl made me a new one through his Gig.Ink service. I preferred the plain black against the 70’s Orange. Anyway, the Stinger makes this a wonderful beast of a 70’s Ray. I did buy a SD MM pickup, but the string spacing is narrower on these, so I stuck with the original (which is great, now the Stinger is in). Lovely condition, I’ve taken it out the house on 3 occasions since buying off @vmaxblues and played it once at a recording session that wanted some disco and “slap”. I will do anything for money, even that…engineer nearly soiled himself when I slightly boosted the low end. It has Schaller type strap locks and I’ll include a new leather strap with matching locks. Comes with a choice of cases, a stiff gig bag type case that is in great nick and loads of pockets, or a hard case that is as basic as can be and is a little tired around the edges but does a sterling job. I’m currently recovering from surgery and won’t be driving for a week or two, but am able to hand over in person if you visit Slapper towers. £225 seems a decent price for a nice 5’er. Might be up for a trade for an acoustic guitar (Steel or Nylon string) or old MacBook I can run Logic on. When I’m back on my feet and driving I’ll be happy to meet up, or arrange postage for an additional £25, but again once I’m able to get some packing materials and box. cheers John
  6. Yeah good luck, sounds like a gig you really want. You didn’t say exactly what enhancements you were having, but frankly if a sock worked for Mick then, save yourself a few quid.
  7. Hiya Its £150. The £350 refers to when the RH750 was included. Yeah great cabs, with any amp. 😊
  8. Smooth Hound Wireless System. Comes with Receiver, Transmitter and PSU. I'll take some better photos tomorrow, but this is it plugged into my (long gone) Gnome. I bought it used about 12 months ago but I’ve never gigged it. Just played a couple of times at home. Great little device. £50 collected from Bath until I’m back on my feet from surgery in which case I’ll post it.
  9. Valeton Bass Strip in box and PSU. It’s a DI pedal with EQ & some funky FX. It’s their take on the Tech21 bass flyrig. I bought it as a back up in case of back line failure. But never been out of its box other than to test when I bought it new 12 months ago. I’m recovering from surgery currently so it’s pickup from Bath for now. But if you can wait I’ll post it for additional £5 in a week or two. Cheers
  10. RS212 Cab with Hotcovers cover. Great condition. £130 collected. Specs: Dimensions: W x H x D 356 x 664 x 498mm Weight: 24 kg / 52 lbs Power handling: 400 Watt Enclosure: 18mm plywood side panels, 18mm rounded carved hardwood corners Surface treatment: 'Anti-skid' dual component surface Porting: Dual rear porting Woofer: Eminence custom 12" Tweeter: Eminence 33mm voicecoil, titanium diaphragm Tweeter adjustment: L-pad (off - 0dB) Impedance: 8 Ohm Collection from Bath, but I’m back mobile again so can meet up within 30 minutes drive or so.
  11. That’s nice. 🙂 My favourite DB I owned was an old 4/4.
  12. Our guitarist runs an amp repair business. Always has spare stuff. Keys player runs a PA hire company, always has spare kit. We have a band “tech” who has spares and repair kit with him. But I still, as a matter of habit and a fear of “what if”, carry spares of everything bass and backline related to every gig. My kit, my responsibility.
  13. I liked his single Ca plane pour moi. He’s aged well.
  14. Anyone heard of these before, or got one, had one? https://guitarflatter.com/products/bass-flatter Only fits standard jazz profile necks. But quite fancy one for a guitar. Could be fun, could be bolleaux
