    [quote name='Ben Jamin' post='1343885' date='Aug 18 2011, 12:41 AM']I was in Denmark Street yesterday, went in Wunjo Guitars. Stared at the bass selection for a while until an assistant asked me if I'd like to play anything. Got plugged in and ended up sitting unattended with a '73 Telecaster bass for about an half an hour. Struck up a cool conversation with the shop owner about guitars in general, not the bass I was playing. Eventually I told him it was a great bass and I'd love it if only I could afford it. So he took 400 off the price and offered me 600 in part exchange for my Warwick (considering how much Warwicks are selling for at the moment, I'd probably get less on here)! Immense deal there, but I still didn't have the money, and the Telebass wouldn't be versatile enough to warrant selling off the Warwick [/quote] Wunjo is my favourite store on Denmark St atm. both as a customer and when I was a rep they were always the coolest guys to deal with.

    Hey guys, Sorry not posted for such a long time, got a new job and things and bass been on a back burner. I finally have the required funds for a new amp and have my heart set on a TC rig. I tried the BH500 and BC212 which i absolutely adored and lucky for me guitar guitar are doing an offer where you get another cab free when you buy the head and cab combined. This leaves me with one problem though, I can get either a BC210 or BC212 free with it and as I have not tried the 210 let alone them combined im not sure which route to take. I like the 212 on its own for the fuller sound than you usually get from 10's but have to admit I do miss a little bit of that snappiness that a 10'' provides (I have always used 10''s) Do I go for the 2 BC212 cabs and get effectively a 412 giving some nice depth or combo a 212 and 210 to give some snappiness to the sound? If anyone has tried/owns any combo of TC cabs advice would be great!

    This is bloody fantastic. I would honestly pay good money to see this on a summers day in a pub garden.

    I have been thinking, most of us here have more than 1 bass (a lot of us have more than 5!!) But which one would be the one you would save if you had to pick? I will start with my Washburn XB-120. Ok it's the worst of my group both in terms of playability, sound and build quality and the neck is no longer straight (about 6 degrees to the right!) but it was my first bass. It has played probably 100+ gigs with me of varying quality with varying bands. It was thrown around, never had a hard case and was the bass I learnt to balance on my chin before I risked my Fender. The headstock has burns on it from fags stuck under the strings (bloody hell you could smoke indoors when I was gigging it!) There is superglue on the cutaway from a misguided attempt to glue spare picks onto it. The control plate screws are just glued on heads and the plate is held on with tape. The tone control is no longer connected (neither is the neck pickup!) The dice control knobs are not shop bought but actual dice I drilled into and then applied far too much glue to to get them to stay on! There are about 5 layers of stickers on it ranging from bands to brands to stickers which come on underwear you buy from Sainsburys. Most of them on the heel are actually melted due to the pints of acidic sweat I produce in a 40 minute set. It was thru-blue but in my younger 'punker' days I hated any through colour and scratched a lot of the paint off on the botton of it! But I love it to bits. It last got on stage about 3 years ago when my P and MM were both laid up and I got a gig with 3 hours notice. Check the neck angle compared to the 4 bolts

    Hey guys, Well my collection has thinned out somewhat over the last few months (from 6 to 3) and bass GAS is currently subdued (at least till I scrape together the reddies for a TC 212) Im down to 3 now although I do think the best 3 I have been with and the basses I truly love. Plus I will post one I don't think has ever graced the BC pages! First up a 'basses on the settee' shot! There we have them - MusicMan Stingray 3EQ in white with maple fingerboard and pearl white plate. Fender CIJ 57' reissue P, modded with Duncan 1/4 pounder, wierdly placed thumb rest and bridge cover. Washburn XB-120 (my first bass and to put it lightly it's completely buggered.) The Ray - The P - And the Washburn (which is getting it's own thread for various reasons) And an Artsy shot to finish!

    Whats the 212 like for use on its own? I will be running 350W through it at 8ohm I should think it would be plenty loud for average gigs but I'm new to this small cab lark.

    [quote name='Leftbass' post='1140817' date='Feb 25 2011, 08:28 AM']Hi Throwoff, were there any problems with my bass? I like your garden btw [/quote] Hey dude, I didnt realise you were a BC'er!! No problems at all with it, just not a Jazz man I guess. I currently have no camera and need it moved fairly swiftly so used the existing pics. No offence meant by it just best job I could do was with my phone and they looked crap.

    Hey dude, Dont mean to knock this but I have seen profets go for 150-200 on here recently and the cabs about the same. I think you might find it hard to get interest at this price.
