  1. I doubt very much that is "roadworn". It looks like a proper bit of damage.
  2. Smooth preamp sale to Richard. All good here
  3. Try removing and refitting the offending string, making sure it's well seated in the bridge, saddle and nut. If that doesn't sort it try a different set of strings to see if that cures the problem.
  4. Bought for an acoustic project that went nowhere. Absolutely brand new and also comes with a mains PSU. 17-volt, high-headroom, discrete Class-A preamp 5-band tone control with sweep-mid and low frequency filter EQ mode tailors EQ for bass or most other instruments Phase control and precision notch filter reduces feedback One-knob adjustable compressor smooths playing dynamics Integrated fully-chromatic digital tuner Volume boost foot switch with level control (+12 dB) Balanced XLR D.I. with pre/post EQ setting and ground lift Cost me £200. Yours for £160 posted or £150 collected.
  5. Not that simple, especially if you're singing as well. My nomination is "Don't break my heart again" by Whitesnake.
  6. That looks fab. If someone would buy my (8lb) Franz PJ I’d have this off you in a heartbeat!
  7. Some dowel rods will clean that right up.....
  8. I'd say it's possibly less about the watts and more about the amount of air you're moving. I have no personal experience of those cabs, but the C8 should be a considerable step up from the C4.
  9. Used but not abused fusion shell set. Some oxidising to chrome. Newish Evans 360 batter heads on all toms. 22” kick with Pearl muffler 14” floating floor tom 12” tom 10” tom 14” snare Buyer collects from Hampshire.
  10. My Franz basses ❤️
  11. I never found one, and believe me I scoured the internet to find one!
  12. What other instruments are involved? There are very few, if any, ABGs that will really cut it.
  13. Try standard gauge (760T) white nylon flats by La Bella. Meaty to dig in on, a very nice top end, and low tension too. Some people find them too floppy, but if it's between that and regular steel core flats there's no contest for me.
  14. I still remember the first time I listened to a Deep Purple LP. It was "Machine Head", the year was 1978 and I was twelve. I was just blown away by the power and energy of it. Happy, simpler days.
  15. 2013 NEW OLD STOCK Here we have an Italian-made Markbass Micromark 801 bass combo in perfect condition. The Micromark 801 is a compact, high-quality bass combo amp with a solid-state preamp and an analog power amp, which delivers 45 Watts of power into a 8 inch Markbass neodymium speaker. The VPF control (Variable Preshape Filter) allows you to boosts lows (around 35 Hz) and highs (around 10 kHz), and cuts mids at 380 Hz. 60 Watts of output power when using an extension cabinet. AUX input for CD or MP3 player, headphone jack, speaker on/off switch for using headphones or only an extension cabinet. Balanced XLR line output with ground lift switch. Very easy to transport because of the compact dimensions of 28 x 28 x 28 cm and a weight of just 7.2 kg. Terrific little unit. Only selling as I've decided to get something slightly bigger. I am firm on £200, which includes UK postage.
  16. I've just received a custom pedal from James and wanted to let everyone know what great service I received from him. Originally, I just wanted a simple A/B switch with volume control, but with an added tuner mute. James said no problem and sent me a design and quote. Then I realised I could add in the EQ switching for my Little Marcus amp to reduce clutter on the floor at gigs. Again, a revised design and (very reasonable) quote sent through in a matter of hours. Pedal arrived today. Looks terrific. Kudos to James and BOP!
