    Anybody catch the Selling England By The Pound gig in Manchester last night (or other venues). Excellent show, topped off by The Knife as the encore. Recommended for nostalgic old folk like me.

    In my case pretty quickly. First attempt was a pre-loved Hartke 500W head and 2x15 cab. All very heavy and not that great for what I was playing. This was followed by an Ashdown set up with a 1x15 and 2x10; and then I discovered Barefaced cabs. Had my Compact and Midget (Gen 2) for around 6 years I think now, possibly longer. I started off powering them with an GK MB500 head, but after a few years discovered the GB Streamliner which is now my gigging head with an Ampeg Portaflex backup/for variety.

    Can you confirm the length please. If they definitely go to 140cms I'll take one of them.

    Just acquired a rather lovely NS-94 from Chris who was kind enough to meet me half way to hand over the goods in exchange for Monopoly money. Perfect gent and great to deal with. Thanks again for a lovely bass.

    I'm sure there will ultimately be no issues, but I get your frustration. That being said, being a 'one man band' cannot be an excuse. Alan at ACG is excellent at updates / responding to queries etc. None of my ACGs have ever taken longer to deliver than the original promise date (up to 12 months for the Custom spec). I guess that is a contributing factor (quality and value for money of the basses of course being high on the list) as to why I go back for more occasionally!

    Out of interest has anybody tried a Wal back to back with the ACG Uber spec basses with the multi coils and filter EQs, definitely a nod to Wal? I've had a very quick go on a Wal but not long enough to form any kind of objective opinion.

    I believe these are pretty good. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Revelation-RSGB-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Right-Handed-/391085894367?hash=item5b0e892adf:g:qqMAAOSw34FVBxOj I have just acquired the Greco version (advertised on here) for similar reasons...

    [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1476857516' post='3157761'] Why would a P need a blend? I thought the stacked knobs on the P Retro did the following: 1: Top - volume (pull for active mode) Bottom - passive tone 2: Top - mid boost one way,bass&treble boost the other way Bottom - variable frequency [/quote] Absolutely correct, major brain fart there. Apologies all round.

    P Retro is a fine tool and not complex. Volume/blend on one stack and then a cool mids control on t'other. Active/passive too.

    As above. Top bloke, I have both sold him a bass and purchased one from him. He does the Limelight basses too.

    I subscribe, but only just in the sense that I find the reviews increasingly annoying. I'd like to believe what Bluejay says but I don't think the evidence supports it. I find the reviews pretty anodyne as in not wanting to offend and any opinions expressed are pretty guarded to the point of being mostly oblivious. Main frustrations with the gear reviews: When you get £5k basses getting 9/10 for value when there's nothing in the text to really support that score, and frankly there should be for those eye-watering prices. When some features are commented on adversely and score of 8/10 or 9/10 still appears. Why so few affordable bass reviews? Why is when a specific feature is mentioned that is a bit unusual that there is never a photo of it? I could go on....

    [quote name='LZD56' timestamp='1476361564' post='3153635'] "50% of what you spend on advertising is wasted - trouble is you don't know which 50%" Don't know which marketing guru said that, but it's very true [/quote] A former boss of mine's favourite saying was along the lines of "[i]many books have been written about marketing, most of them were cheque books[/i]."

    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1476253550' post='3152644'] I haven't chosen a luthier yet, I'm far too busy making sure the surfs on my estate have adequate hovels. [/quote] Adequate hovels; far too generous sir!

    Audio Technica AD700s for me (with a Tascam MP-BT1).

    We start with a short medley, Django/Just Got Paid/Cocaine, seems to go down pretty well and builds nicely.

    I think there was a post on the Wanted topic from somebody looking for a good value starter bass for a kid.
