  1. £750 tempt anyone?
  2. Alas i think as with most of the 75RI’s it is 60’s spec spacing
  3. Weight is a smidge under 10lbs on the luggage scales and ill get pics of the scratch on the back asap
  4. Excellent condition japanese Fender Jazz bass. I think the 90’s japanese reissues are as close as you get to the vintage instruments but without the price tag. This one has had new pickups (originals will come with the bass also) which are the superb Tonerider pickups. Electrics were upgraded at the time too as the cheap japanese pots were noisy and the tone pot didnt seem to do much at all. It had a full setup 2 weeks ago at PSG Guitars in Bury where the current elites Groundwound strings were installed. The is one finish scratch to the back as photo’d and a few playing swirls here and there. I dont believe the pickguard is original to the bass as its needs a tiny bit if fettling round the bell plate to sit fully flush. Finally that is a real genuine 70’s bridge cover. Only reason for selling is my p basses are getting more action and i have a rickenbacker itch i want to scratch. Can be seen, tested and played here in Bolton. **Postage is possible within UK as i do have a packing box but no case. Would be well packed though** Would consider a part ex with cash my way for a black Dirnt sig bass (ideally fender but would consider the Squier)
  5. Todays GAS - Fender Mike Dirnt Sig in Black

      Welcome back!

  9. Origin Effects - either Super Vintage or Blackface a nice Precision Cheapo Ampeg PF350 for backup
  10. I recently purchased an Ampeg SVT III Non Pro (hybrid - valve pre, solid state power) and noticed when trying to date it using the serial number that it was made for the European market at 220v. Is it safe to use this in the UK without modification or step down transformers? A google search varies from 'its fine' to 'your house will set on fire and burn all your loved ones alive'! I did notice that the 12AX7's get particularly hot compared to other hybrids I've had but some suggest these old Ampegs apply real life voltage to their pre's so that may explain that
  11. Another cosmetically damaged item from G4M. Looks like its taken a hit to the front and back. Also needs some KT88’s but could be a bargain for someone? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276698568692?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=pv7TW8hZRvG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=oN5XbKSRQjS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

  12. Agreed, looks like they used old railway lines!
  13. Anyone seen this absolute stunner over at BD? https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/fender-precision-bass-3-tone-sunburst-1966-pre-owned/
  14. Amazing amps. I did read somewhere the 10.1 had reliability issues and the 5.1 was more solid but like you say, great sounding amps very similar to the Mesa Big Block in tone
  15. I have been borrowing our rehearsal spaces SVT 3 pro whilst i source a decent pre-amp/DI pedal and encountered an issue at our last gig. Mid set it cut out, the power light remained on but the gain/peak light wasn't blinking as if the amp wasn't receiving signal. It seemed to kick back in and out a few times and i eventually finished the gig on a DI box via FOH. Immediate thoughts were cables but upon setting the amp back up at home with the same cables i was unable to recreate the issue. This leads me to think it may have been an over heating issue (i was unable to crank it at home). However, on opening the amp up i noticed that there was a 12AX7 in place of the 12AU7 so i immediately replaced that. Is there any reason why using the wrong valve here would make it cut out? Could understand it not sounding great but would a wrong valve here cause overheating/cutting out issues?
