  1. Old topic came up on a search but has anybody recently found a gig bag that will take an Epiphone Jack Casady bass?
  2. Hope it actually really is all valve unlike the "all valve" branded CTM15
  3. Bass Heaven - Old P bass with flats through a B15 (Babbit, Dunn, Jamerson) Bass Hell - New roundwounds and a million miles an hour slap and pop rubbish
  4. Just had a call from the tech to say my 1966 Ampeg fliptop is ready to be picked up after being fixed/serviced!

  5. Home/Recording Fender Japan PB70 straight into a 1966 Ampeg SB-12 flip top valve combo Gig/Rehearsal Fender Japan PB70 > TU-2 > LPB-1 > DHA Valve Drive > Boss BD2 > Ampeg V4BH Valve Amp > Ampeg SVT 15he Always use Elites strings, Normally (99% of the time) flats but occasionally Groundwounds Do want a nice old battered 70's P bass or a 50's road worn P for home use with the fliptop
  6. Really bad GAS for a Peerless Retromatic Bass in Black!!!!!

      Yes! They're stunning, never seen one in the flesh but it's probably for the best! :biggrin:

      I had a white one. Absolutely stunning bass. One of those 'wish I'd have kept it' ones, but as I play 5's now it's just as well.

  7. anyone else having issues with String Busters?  I know there was a thread not so long ago but id continued to get good service from them.  Latest order is going on over a week and no word despite the strings showing as 'In Stock'

    Michael bought a used set of flats off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  9. Original version of the Fender flats made by VC Squier. Green silk at the bridge, silkless at the top. I believe these were standard on the 60's & 70's basses out of Fender but open to correction. Bought NOS and have had maybe an hours use on my P bass. Have been on a 4 in line headstock but numerous wounds round each post. Weird set in that the E & A are very lively and reasonable tension whilst the G & D are a little more 'dead' and have slightly more tension, assume I just haven't played them enough to break them in. Will need to check gauges but certainly felt less tension that the newer Fender 9050's ive tried, I just prefer my Elites to be honest. £20 posted within UK
  10. Cut for a 4 in line fender type headstock but with numerous wounds round each post (probably may even need trimming down). Had 5 mins playtime but I prefer my Elites. £20 posted within UK
  11. Yup, after years and years and £'s and £'s trying numerous flatwound strings I FINALLY settled on a set (well at least a brand). Now all my P basses get Elites Flatwounds and my Jazz and Epi JC bass get Elites groundwounds. Problem is now I think of all the basses I sold because I couldn't get the sound and wonder if id found these strings sooner how many of those basses id still have
  12. My recoding amp, also my pride and joy. Sounds amazing with my flats loaded P and flats loaded J. A 1965/1966 Ampeg SB-12
  13. When you're lying awake in this darkness This ever lasting night Someday soon, don't know where or when Youre gonna wake up and see the light
  14. As a baked-in Ampeg Valve fan boy I was really taken aback by the sound Mani got on the Roses tour a few years back. He was using a Big Block 750 through what I assume was an 8x10 and had a very thick, beefy and valvey type tone. Enough for me to consider replacing my V4B with one, resisted so far tho
  15. anyone here snag the £750 Ampeg B15 on ebay?  Looked in a bad way but at that price you would have plenty of breathing space to do it up within what a B15 is worth

  16. excellent amps, was my main amp for years!
  17. **SOLD**
  18. A trip to Birmingham in a few weeks so could potentially help out if anyone that way fancies?
  19. Old USA made Ampeg 410he - 8ohm 500w handling, adjustable horn Have replaced one driver with a genuine and spec correct Ampeg replacement (original also included in sale - slight tear to the concertina part). Have replaced the castor sockets with much better after market ones (the original ampeg ones were made of cheese! No mods required, like-for-like replacement). Castors work as should and help when rolling on solid ground into venues. Has several tears in the tolex and is what one would call 'road worn'. Works perfectly though and has a big beefy plumb of a thump to it with a valve amp and flats loaded P bass. Pictures to follow asap. On ebay for £225 so basschat discount to £200. Collection only from Bolton please or can deliver in reasonable distance for diesel money.
  20. That moment you see some gear you want but have to shift old gear first and it just doesn't seem to sell.  Keep checking on the gear I want to make sure its still available aaaarrrrgggghhhhh

      Pow....that's been my life story, mate...you forgot to mention how when you have the cash, nobody wants to sell...

      'When you have the cash'... nope, don't understand that at all. :D

      Buy it. Then the lack of cash will focus the mind beautifully on rooting out and selling everything you haven't used for years....

  21. The last rehearsal with my Ampeg V4BH before it goes up for sale to fund my latest bout of GAS :(

      Eeek! You're going to miss that, for sure. Bad time of year for me to be buying stuff otherwise I'd have that particular goodie. How about I take it as a gift in the spirit of the season..? :D

      Ooh I love mine. Perfect with a P and a Greenboy Dually :)

  22. Played through the rehearsal spaces ancient Peavey TKO 1x15 combo last night.  With my flats loaded P bass and a DHA Bass Drive pre-amp it sounded bloody wonderful!!

      I had one of these as my first serious amp beyond my bedroom practise thing.

      They're great - they are massively heavy, but even the old thrashed Peavey stuff i've come across in rehearsal rooms usually are capable of sounding half decent!
