  1. The staining is on the front tho. It kind of seeps through and leaves a darken patch on the front of the strap seemingly staining it
  2. Really random one here but..... A few years ago my wife treated me to a rather expensive custom made strap from Bear straps. It a lovely thick piece of dark brown leather (smells amazing too). On the underside it is a smooth suede finish that seems to absorb sweat and leaves a darken patch on the strap. Ive tried various leather cleaners and waxes etc but the suede just soaks up sweat and has left me searching for alternative solutions before ditching the strap. One thought it to buy some waterproof fabric stick tape to apply to the underside which may or may not work but wondering if anyone else had had similar issues?

    Cab covers

    Definitely Hot Covers for me, cheaper than Roqsolid and for me better. The 'basic' hot covers ones are the same as the 'padded option' roqsolid but much cheaper
  4. valve pre-amp and class D power? Looks nice but hasnt this already been done to death?
  5. my favourite tone shaping DI currently is the Origin Effects Blackface 64. One of these, a tuner and a Cali76 and i could gig with that
  6. All cut for four-in row headatock GHS Pressurewounds (102-44) used for literally 2 minutes. Too low tension for me £30 Fender 9050L used for around 1 hour. Not a fan of the feeling under my plucking fingers £20 La Bella LTFs used for around 2hrs. Too low tension for me. Silks rattier than playing time would suggest £25 all prices include UK P&P
  7. Anyone here snag that EBS T90 valve amp that was on ebay recently? Fingered hovered over the BIN button several times!

  8. Incoming - Schecter Model P bass as backup to my P in the busy gigging period up to christmas

  9. BUMP for the Korg Tuner available now for UK postage
  10. Bought in the hope i could get away with 30 all valve watts but unfortunately not. Brand new JJ EL84’s fitted and comes with a spare set of EH valves. Really nice amp and tone to die for - if i could have this tone with more power id be in heaven! Collection from Bolton or could do a meet up. Postage is an option but i worry for the glass
  11. Bought for not many pennies as a trial to see if i could get more out of my Ashdown Little Bastard. Looking to sell for what i paid. UK made and slightly scruffy but fully functional. Collection from Bolton or potentially could meet up

  12. My current cab is an early Barefaced 1x15 compact - lovely cab, very easy to move and a superb sound. However, ive been trying to get away with using an Ashdown Little Bastard head live as we do use a decent PA and all DI into the mix but finding it falls JUST short. I have the opportunity of a dirt cheap Ashdown ABM 4x10 (UK made, blue speakers) and was wondering what the volume difference would be from a 1x15 to a 4x10 (im very much aware of the limitations of a 30w head). I know Barefaced are supposed to be super efficient so that further muddies the water as to exactly how much more volume a 4x10 box would throw out?
  13. A very slightly used set of the standard Tonerider P bass pickups in their “Staggered Pole Piece” version. Fitted to my vintera p for one rehearsal but i think i prefer the Duke ones i have. £30 posted within the UK. No screws unfortunately but ill try and dig a set out
  14. Finally bagged an Ashdown LB 30, cant wait to get back to an all valve rig

      Congrats! Of all the amps I've sold, including many name amps, the LB 30 is the one I really, really miss. I think you may be in Heaven.

  15. They definitely changed the formula towards the end. The silkless flats were lovely - very old school pillowy and thumpy. The last set I got before they closed had black silks on the flats and the E was unusable - dead cardboard type clunk
  16. A lovely Jazzer just popped up over at BB https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1965-fender-jazz-bass-2/
  17. I have the 330 and this doesnt happen to me. Defo think there is something amiss there
  18. I had an early Japanese Yamaha chorus pedal back in the day and it nailed that Duff tone. Simple little three knob effort it was, cheap at the time but as with most Japanese stuff from 80's its probably rocketed in value!
  19. Looking to massively simplify my rig. As such my modest pedal board is on the block:- Origin Effects 64 Black Panel i have the original box and instructions somewhere £275 posted in UK Fulltone Mosfet Bass Drive unboxed but in great condition £225 posted in UK Korg DR10 tuner unboxed but in great condition £30 posted in UK. Maybe a slight delay on this one pedal as we are gigging this weekend coming and it may be needed all have velcro on bottom. Pedalboard itself will also be up for grabs soon. looking to fund something valvey so an Ashdown CTM30/Little Bastard would be considered in trades/part ex
  20. Time to simplify my set up.  No more pedals (except a tuner), no more pre amps, no more compressors, no more drive.... just a p bass, valves and cab

      Ideal set up for great sounds

      Pretty much how I’ve always been with a P or jazz bass, I did dabble with a few pedals but they didn’t do much for me and I spent more time fiddling around with them than playing 😁, good luck pow

      @Reggaebass that's exactly it, I need to stop knob twiddling (ooooh matron) and just play the damn thing

  21. Ive got a load of old strings that I'm looking to flog. All cut for 4-in-a-row fender style headstock:- GHS Precision Flats - 45-105. £15 Elites Flatwound (may have several sets) - 45-105 - £15 Elites Grounds (several sets) - 45-105 - £12 Silks may be a little scruffy on some but during use all got wiped down with isoprpyl alcohol to keep them as fresh as possible Collection from Bolton is fine or can post in UK
  22. I have one of these with those strings on too. Took me a while to get used to the neck too but now i have its my clear #1 bass. I did change the pickups when i got it but ended up putting the original back in as it has a nice gritty quality. Anyway, i digress - great bass, GLWTS
  23. i drooled over that many times on the BB website! Enjoy!
  24. more expensive but I've had great results with the Origin Effects bass Rig pedals. Even tho I'm an SVT man at heart I actually prefer the sound of the Black Face 64 one. Awesome pedal
