    Brilliant! I can now see what my VT5 will look like when it arrives in a month's time.

    Not many amps I regret selling, but my LB30 is one of them. In a word........ [size=5][b]TONE[/b][/size]

    Same experience here, but a quick play with the pots sorted it. I put Innovation Silver Slaps on the one I had, which meant I had to use piezo only, but the lower tension and improvement in tone made for a much more satisfying EUB experience!

    I'd imagine an LMII at 11 o'clock into a Schro 1212L would absolutely smoke a Cub/PB300. As I said earlier, even using the M300/6B combo I always thought it wasn't that loud, and you'd be moving a lot less air with the Cub/PB300.

    Well, this is a surprise..... Yes, I am embarrassed, but it was a pleasure to help Pete out. What he hasn't told you is he did a bit of detective work and a fresh set of La Bella flats just popped through my letter box from him this morning! Totally unnecessary but much appreciated. Cheers all Gareth

    Thanks fellas! I wonder if Overwater would do their XL strings in a flatwound? Phil, I will definitely want to try the Flyer when it rocks up! Cheers Gareth

    Hi folks The stock La Bella black nylons on my Veillette have been fitted for nearly three years and I fancy trying out something else. Only thing is, due to the unsual bridge arrangement, the strings need to have a speaking length of 38 3/4", which seems longer than anything readily available? Cheers Gareth

    Wow, just wow......

    I've played this bass and it's a cracker. We all know Dave is a pleasure to do business with too, so a "win win" in my book!

    I'd love these, but sadly I have no spare readies and only [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173777-fsft-veillette-archtop-fretless-5-string-bass-l1800/page__p__1813456#entry1813456"]this[/url] as trade bait

    Great cabs. All the spec is [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=205"]here[/url]. Only reason I am selling is I have two, and really only need the one. Only gigged three or four times, and a similar number of rehearsals. I have taken the Markbass badge off, but it's obvisouly included in the sale. Comes with Roqsolid cover and original box. £490 couriered to your door, £475 collected from NE Hampshire. Cheers Gareth

    Soundslive and Academy of Sound often have good deals on Ashdown stuff, may be worth checking them out/getting in touch? Good BTA prices [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-BTA-300---Ex-display~ID~17452.asp"]here[/url] and [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/preowned_amps_detail.asp?stock=px-EH127XF2939"]here[/url] If cabs weren't an issue as well I'd add [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/176452-peavey-vb2-all-tube-bass-amplifier/"]Peavey VB2[/url] and [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/traynor_yba200_2.htm"]Traynor YB200[/url] as other possibilities.

    Andy is a top bloke. Great communication and very fast payment. I would highly recommend him.

    Simple sale of a valve to Lee, but great communication and instant payment. Very happily deal with Untune again!

    Good thread Even if a vintage bass doesn't increase in value at a rate that makes it a good investment at the moment, it will almost certainly hold its value better than a bass bought new. I have bought a number of boutique basses over the years and, much like driving a new car off the forecourt, they have always lost a large chunk of their value as soon as I picked them up - the one exception to this rule are Wals! - so now I'd rather pay a decent price for a used instrumet that I know is a fantastic player. This applies to proper vintage basses as well as instruments of more recent construction. My 1970 fretless P bass is a good example: it's an absolute tone machine and is just a joy to play. It wasn't cheap, has plenty of "mojo" and isn't 100% original as the original pots had been removed (I put a vintage set back in though ), but it will hold value. Happy hunting! Gareth

    Too far for me Hope you find someone!

    Will bought a Pedaltrain and some valves from me. He is a credit to BC with excellent comms and speedy payment. I would happily do business with him again.

    Good shout! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvLVSPPLZZY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvLVSPPLZZY[/url] The cool bass kicks in around 2.48 for those that are interested! One of the first basslines I ever worked out. Tricky to play and sing, and the bass tone on that album is fantastic. And welcome to Basschat!
