Yeah but a genuine late 70s CS80 is one of the most famous synths, to have one working well (they are not indestructible and they need a real specialist who are rare to fix one) is akin to one of the rarest basses so I don’t think they are overpriced. They were very very expensive new and are a monster of a piece of kit (100kg ish).

I’m looking to get my first head/cab setup and I’ve figured out some stuff but want to get some thoughts from the more experienced on here. Modern small lightweight heads are expensive. I really want a GK head but they are £££££. Old school heads (not valve) are much cheaper and everyone keeps saying “x was amazing wish I still had it.” Even if they are a bit heavy they aren’t massive so I won’t have an issue moving them around. Now while I don’t have a back problem (worked in building trade for a long time) I would prefer a modern lightweight cab rather than some of the older boat anchors. So I’m thinking some sort of 400-500w solid state head on a 2x10 modern cab (or 2x 2x10). Seems to me an ideal balance between cost and performance. Anyone do this, any pitfalls or issues? One of the advantages of an older head is that I can probably fix it myself if something goes wrong as I do know electronics but the modern tiny electronics in my GK 112 combo are beyond me!!

Nice! Blue basses are officially better and their owners 134% cooler than other bass players. I don’t make the rules!

Pickups might be adjusted incorrectly - a possibility. If you can find anyone with a bass amp to plug it into you can test that theory - any music shops nearby? i would second letting us know where you are I am sure someone local would be able to help you.

I’m a novice player and I really liked it, the EQ seemed useful and the other adjustments seemed to be able to make the sound into whatever you needed. Very nicely made. I have a small combo at the moment and want to get a proper rig and this seems like a good option but they do seem to go for a decent price. Kinda thinking of running one into a modern lightweight 2x10 cab for a start but it depends what I can afford!! (very little at the moment!)

Damn I’m in Huddersfield - don’t tempt me! It’s way more than I need tbh.

I played in a rehearsal room last week and it had a 450w version of that amp running into a 4x10 and a 1x15, holy crap it was brutally powerful, couldn’t turn it up more than 1 out of 10 and it sounded fantastic. I’m now looking for one second hand!

im not normally a fan of covers from that sort of era but I’d come and watch you - love it when people make the effort to play some music which isn’t the usual lazy dj mix.

I spent 12 years working in retail when cash was about 60% of our takings. I worked in big places that took tens of thousands a day. In that whole time I came across 2 counterfeit notes, one of which we rejected as payment and 1 which we found cashing up. Honestly, counterfeit money isn’t as common as you think, and if it feels and looks real it probably will be. If you are still unsure insist on paying it into the bank before handing goods over, once the cashier has accepted it then it’ll never come back to you even in the unlikely event of it being dodgy.

If someone says to me they have a problem with their PayPal account I halt the sale and block them. There is no reason to have a “problem” that isn’t self made and all genuine issues can be sorted in minutes as PayPal are very helpful. Been using PayPal for over a decade I think for personal and commercial reasons and if you follow their guides you will never go wrong. PayPal goods and services and I pay the fees for any private sales I do without having the item in my hands.

Now that is gorgeous.

Just a load of old bids on here. 😂

Love your videos and I see you can play all sorts of styles with a unique sound and really enjoy it. Real inspiration for me.

That sea foam green jazz is lovely.

There is no universe in where I would listen to, let alone enjoy, a Coldplay song without the benefit of several torture devices.

I find female fronted bands - cover bands in particular - work better when they don’t try and copy the original style slavishly. Make it your own style and it can fit the vocalist better and you’re not slaves to every detail the original song had. There’s a covers band on YouTube called First To Eleven and I am addicted to their cover of Sum41s Fat lip and they’ve done loads of other great covers.
