Greg bought a tooled leather strap off me. Fast payment and good comms. Cheers Greg, enjoy the strap

Just wanted to share my dealings with Bear Straps. Having stumbled across their website i instantly fell for ALL of their custom made straps. Each one is built to order by the owner Rupert. I enquired about sizes etc and was told ''tell me what you want, ill make it and have it with you in a day''. I duly decided what style i wanted and sent my specs across. The same day he replied saying he'd get to work straight away and emailed me a paypal link to sort payement out on. He kept me informed throughout. A day later it arrived by recorded delivery and WOW. Its a strap for life! Quality leather (smells amazing) and so much attention to detail, a real craftmans piece for very little money. To say im impressed is an understatement. The comfort, looks and quality really are top class. It looks absolutely amazing on my Bison and has made me fall in love with the bass all over again. Im in no way associated or anything with Ruper or Bear Straps I just like to recomend and compliment when i recieve great service and quality goods. If i'd paid twice as much for the strap id still be as happy. Will post pics soon

That looks amazin Burrito, just the amount of wear on it that i would love to re-create on my p-bass

My Burns Bison. Had a gas attack the other week and nearly binned it off for a Squier Tele bass but came to my senses! [IMG]http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/8923/cimg2800p.jpg[/IMG]

Ive tried the 500w OTB and a Hartke HA5500. In my opinion the Hartke is better. As the other poster mentioned the OTB has one sound (for me think a bee stuck in an empty ale can and a microphone over the hole) really poor attempt at trying to mimic a valve amp. The Hartke however has many options and with the valve option on the pre-amp/gain you can get a really warm punchy sound

Shaun bought a Wizard Trad P pickup off me. Completely hassle free and smooth transaction. Hope you enjoy them as much as i did

This past two years ive really developed a taste for vintage looking and sounding basses and backline. Ive probably posted before but so happy with my current set-up. Had a crazy few days where i considered off loading the Bison for a Squier VM precision TB bass. Whilst i still want one i could never get rid of the Bison n for a wierd reason i dont like to have more than 2 basses at any one time....cant decide which to gig Anyway, enjoy...

Quick check. No date stamps on neck. There is a wierd tiny logo tho, it looks like a 'Q' with a 'B' inside the circle of the Q. tiny 1cm size logo

I shall. Im pretty certain its just the neck plate that MIGHT be real fender, The neck is a big chunky P bass neck with jumbo frets, it has a fender decal but fairly obviously added. Im flogging the body and neck, it started off as a project that i got bored off. Im pretty sure they are Sunn Mustang but i will check neck and pots codes

Got a bitsa P bass a while back and was told the neck plate was original fender. Thought nowt of it but just put the serial number printed on it into the Guitar Dater Project site and apparently its.... Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA in the Year(s): 1976

Wizard Thumpers, brilliant pups

[quote name='algmusic' timestamp='1319456648' post='1414226'] Terror Bass.. If you like valve.. You won't be disappointed.. It's like valve without the hernia.. I would probably change the valves to some less hot one. Markbass are great, the bridge between hifi and valve... a nice neutral sound [/quote] Only my humble opinion but for a nice vintagey 2x15 id stick to proper valve amps. Mine packs loads of valvey goodness from the SC head. To me the whole 'valve' thing is done by the power valves, i really dont think the hybrids (orange TB etc) are even close to real valve amps

You thought of the Sound City 120's? Im using one with a 2x15 fender bassman cab and have more than enough headroom and no breakup until i REALLY drive and dig in (i like a little valve breakup on the bottom notes). I was selling mine but came to my sences and am now keeping hold. Wooks on here was selling an immaculate one tho. Out of interest what wattage is the bassman copy?
