I'm gutted. I remember I discovered his music when I was at uni in the 80s . "Shamrock Diaries" and especially "On the Beach" were go to CDs for much of the time. The latter is still one of my favourite albums. RIP Chris 🫶

Super smooth sale of an amp to Simon. DPD messed up collection so we decided to meet halfway and in true BC style a car park exchange was duly completed

I’ve had a reliced Sandberg and I would say that is absolutely not part of their aging process. Proving it is another matter of course. What’s the actual finish? You may be able to buff the worst of it out.

eBay just keeps getting weirder
franzbassist replied to Happy Jack's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
My reading of this is if you're just selling stuff you already own to clear it out then it's not subject to tax. Persuading HMRC of that may be a different matter, of course... -

A golf club Christmas party. Never had so much space! GR Dual 1400 and a GR bass 2x10 each side of the stage, with my trusty Franz and Dingwall running wireless. -
I've come to the realisation that I have too many basses, and as I already have a JT4 I can't justify having essentially two of the same model, give or take a string. This is a Dingwall John Taylor 5 string. I've had this bass for nearly a year. It's in superb condition apart from a very minor mark on the back near the battery cover (see picture 9). I hand picked it in Andertons (from a choice of three) as at 4kg it was the lightest of the bunch by some way. It plays beautifully, and the Neve preamp is a great addition. I have made the following changes: Dunlop straplocks fitted Six position rotary switch (see diagram for pickup combinations at the end of the post), but original also supplied Custom white scratchplate shown, but the original is currently fitted The bass comes with a very nice Dingwall gig bag and tool kit. It is fitted with Dingwall nickel roundwounds. I live in NE Hampshire and am happy to travel a bit, say 50/75 miles, to do the deal. I will have a box to ship it from early in the new year: shipped and insured in the UK for an extra £30 to the quoted price. UK sales only I'm afraid. Price-wise, when in stock these sell for between £2600 and £3000 new. You can see the only damage on the bass in this picture. It's two small dots that have broken the top layer of the finish but that's it. A super glue drop fill would likely sort it. No idea how it happened..... 1 is towards the bridge, 6 is towards the neck

I am interested in trying Payson flats on my Dingwall 5. Standard tuning. Can anyone help me with the sort of tension and feel they have? Are they super high tension? Thanks.

Slightly random question here, but wondering how you find the ergonomics of resting your thumb on the neck pickup (esp the 5 string)? It looks an awfully long way away from the strings, so is it a big stretch, especially across to the g string? And with the rounded pickup shape do you find your thumb slips off the top?

I bought this new in April last year, using it briefly before discovering GR Bass. As such, everything is in mint condition and I still have the original boxes too so shipping is an option. This is an incredibly versatile amp, so much so that I couldn't possibly run through everything it can do here. There are lots of video reviews worth watching, but I am going to guide you to our very own Dood's review here, which gives a good deep dive into the amp. Boss Katana 500 Bass Head (£734) Boss BT-DUAL Bluetooth adapter (£45), so you can adjust settings on the fly via the app Boss GA-FC pedal (£99)l, again, for ease of switching in a live setup Boss VE-22 Vocal Processor Bag (£74), a perfect fit for the amp, power lead and a couple of speaker cables I’ve added some pictures taken today but forgot to add proof of ownership. Hopefully folks will know I am a stand up guy on here and save me the effort of retaking the pictures.

That’s a great reply, thanks. Reassuring too. Yes I last saw them about 10 years ago, so that would explain a lot re. the vocal change. And yes, Mike’s vocals are so much better than they used to be. That was a pleasant surprise. Agree re. Nathan, PRB (a machine!) and the brass. All good on that front. Roachford: Also good points, I guess I was highlighting the difference more than anything. If MK had nattered as much over the course of the Level 42 set they’d have had to drop a couple of tunes! 🤣
