    I’ve said it before but... hot damn that is one sexy bass. The fingerboard is nuts!

    Stunning - glwts

    I love the RM preamp, the drive is sublime and the 5 band EQ is dead easy to get any tone with. Great heads
  5. Merton
    Bloody awesome - thrilled for you to have had that experience (and very jealous!)
  6. Merton
    Yup that Stu Hamm head is the best of the bunch. Agree with Eude on the rest of it!

    I am led to believe from a reliable source that the support Mark didn’t receive from TC to sort a rig for him out in Quebec whizzed him off so he decided to switch on the flight home. MarkBass are definitely one of the “we’ll pay you to use our gear” crowd so it makes business sense I guess.

    I get this in my day job too. Send a quote, customer immediately replies with “is it stainless steel as requested?” Yes, as per the first line in the quote spec. flipping read!!

    Steve Harris. Unmistakeable tone which has barely changed over the years thanks to his unique style and his unique strings. You always know it’s him Honorary second place for Duff McKagen again due to a tone which has barely changed throughout his various bands and records.

    Yep there’s a build thread here: And of course, if it had been the other sort of saucy blonde then yes, much trouble!

    Oh dear. This way trouble lies

    I know. It got a bit silly didn’t it 😕
  13. Merton
    Well damn, I hadn’t thought of that 🤣 For full disclosure she was totally aware of my ridiculous thread and thought it was all quite funny 🙂

    I don’t get it. Last week I said I wanted to buy a £1200 Glockenklang amp and she didn’t bat an eyelid. This week I brought home a saucy new blonde ACG and it’s all rolling eyes, tutting and making me clean the kitchen

    Yeah fair point. We’ll do a shoot a bit later.

    She won’t let me buy any more basses, so she’s got to go. I’ll start bidding at a £20 and we can go from there. Might accept trades, would consider some decent Barolo. Cheers

    For sale: Eden WT405 £250 collected, or £265 couriered to UK mainland I bought this earlier this year - and promptly ruined any chance of succeeding with the 2019 gear abstinence challenge - with a view to it being a different flavour amp from my various Ashdowns. I’ve had Eden before and decided I needed another in my life, but to be brutally honest I don’t have enough gigs to warrant four amps and, whilst this is a bloody glorious bit of gear, I prefer the Ashdown stuff. So this should go again. It’s in good nick for its age (it has clearly been well looked after by the previous BC owners!) and comes with rack ears and a gig bag. The only things to mention are the gain clip LED never seems to light up and the bass and treble boost lights don’t work either. It has a few small superficial scratches and nicks in the chassis but nothing major at all for a 15 year old amp. Other than that it’s stonking and if I could justify keeping it purely for home use with headphone, I would, but that’s a waste of its talents. No trades please.

    Probably. Maybe they do and I’ve misrepresented them. I’m just recalling a conversation I had when my second cab arrived last month

    I mentioned this on another thread, the chaps at Barefaced have recently changed their glue AND their tolex to a different brand. The original glue we can all agree was shite and after a few years they came to the same conclusion about the tolex. When left in warm environments the old tolex would shrink, and coupled with the crap glue caused the problems people encountered. The glue changed but the tolex didn’t so there were still “smaller” issues as seen with @funkle and @mcnach. They’ve now changed the glue again, and also the tolex, so as to mitigate the shrinking issues and the glue failures. This new tolex is easier to work apparently and therefore if any peeling occurs with this then it will be significantly easier to re-stick. Of course ideally no peeling should occur at all. I’ll keep an eye on my One10 cabs because one has old tolex and second iteration glue and one has new tolex and third iteration glue...
