    [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.

    Hi folks No longer using pedals so rather than let them gather dust I'm putting them up for sale for somebody to use and enjoy.

    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.

    That's beautiful.

    Another nickel fan, however I quite like the standard fit Sandberg s/steel strings. No idea who makes them though.

    [quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1475583460' post='3147069'] The Tubes in Brighton on Saturday week, then Gun in Pompey the following Thursday [/quote] Whoa, I remember seeing The Tubes back at uni in the late 70s early 80s. Great show, didn't know they were still doing it. Is it still Fee Waybill (or something like that).

    For something very traditional then this (although still one year to young to be a YOB bass): http://basschat.co.uk/topic/279337-1961-fender-precision-bass/ Or maybe this: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/290573-warwick-thumb-nt-4/

    This is a very dangerous thread for those afflicted by GAS, trying not to look...and failing miserably. Will report back.

    I gig all my basses, almost on a rotation basis. General rule of thumb for me is if you don't gig it, why did you buy it.

    Young Mr Dood recently sold me a Fender Japan 62RI Precision that I am rather enjoying.

    Well I have several ACGs and only one Fender. I find the individual attention you get from a top luthier, in my case from Alan at AC, is invaluable in providing advice and guidance on the build. I think the back street garage comparison is not really comparing apples with apples so I'll let it be. It's is of course a very personal thing and many people don't like 'coffee table' basses. I just happen to admire the attention to detail, the craftmanship and the complete dismay of the luthier if the bass is not perfect for the customer.

    I have these for my ACGs, top bags in my view: https://www.fusion-bags.com/collections/guitar-gig-bags/products/f1-bass-guitar-gig-bag

    Jetglo Ricki. Saved for ages to buy one and then was massively disappointed by it. Tried to get on with it for around 15 months then ended up selling it (for a modest profit).
