  1. Ah yes, that would help! It's quite big, with the internal dimensions 330 x 406 x 178 mm. You could fit loads of Fusions in it!
  2. I have a set of chrome Gotoh style machine heads from an Overwater Aspiration bass. 3 over 2 configuration for a right handed bass. They are in excellent condition. They look the same as these.
  3. This came to me in a trade. It has very low miles and is in good overall condition, so much so it still has the plastic film on the zips. The Fusion website says "A slimline padded gig bag which is lightweight and portable. Ideal for carrying a bass on short journeys, where few accessories need to be taken along." Posting will bump the price up, so ideally it's buyer collects for £20.
  4. These are terrific heads. The EQ is very versatile, and the ability to switch between no eq/eq1/eq2/eq1and2 means a lot of sounds are available. Plus Nick is a BC legend and all round good guy.
  5. The mid to top end Corts are superb basses. Someone will be very happy with this.
  6. This is used and does show some signs of wear, but it's still in overall excellent condition apart from some splitting to the rubber base. It's designed to hold a double bass drum pedal, but works great as a gig bag for small amps or cables and straps etc. The internal divider and storage pocket are removable. £60 50 posted in the UK
  7. If we can have a clean 100 watts of valve goodness then colour me interested
  8. Hello Yes the bass is still available. The B string sounds great on this bass, as do they all
  9. FMC cabs from Germany are also superb.
  10. Try this for some pretty full on playing, with Jack Bruce on bass and Simon Phillips on drums.
  11. I dropped a set of Barts in my Cort SCMS, which also has 16.5mm string spacing - they sound great!
  12. Thanks, yes, great basses. I played it at rehearsal last night and every note is crystal clear. The b string is a thing of beauty!
  13. Both family cars damaged on consecutive days.  Law of averages loves me!

      That's not good.

      It may be worth checking out your insurance T&Cs too.

  14. OMG this takes me back. It's 1989 aagin and I'm playing my Wal through the exact same rig as my first proper set up! 😍
  15. Still out of work so this is next up for sale. I picked this wonderful bass up in the autumn last year. I love the weight (4.17kg or 9lb 3 oz) and feel of it, and the multiscale neck really evens out the tone and string tension. It has a swamp ash body with a spalted maple top stained a grey colour. The through neck is 5 piece maple and panga panga (wenge relative), with a panga panga fingerboard. The scale length is 34" to 36". I have made the following changes, which have made an already very good bass even better: i) rounded the edges of the nut so they are smooth ii) replaced all the screws in the bridge units iii) removed preamp and pickups and fully shielded the cavities, adding a new earth strip under the bridge iv) installed threaded inserts in the pickup and control cavities, using new threaded bolts throughout v) fitted US Bartolini HR-5.4AP/918 3 band preamp (volume has push/pull active/passive) vi) fitted US Bartolini MK6CBC pickups, using six string version to ensure pickup sensing area was wide enough vii) new black Dunlop straplocks and new black knobs viii) customised chrome/black Hipshot tuners to give a Wal-like style Bass comes with the very nice original hard case. I am firm on £900 shipped in the UK.
  16. I think it's quite a common thing with flats that the B and E strings in particular can sound dead and thuddy. Mind you, ten years service isn't a bad return on the investment!
