    Sold Bill my Ibanez EHB. Thoroughly top bloke - very easy to deal with - a gentleman personified. Affable, friendly (even after I made him wait an extra 30 mins or so due to an unforeseen pitstop en-route). Cheers Bill - Hope you enjoy!

    I used one of these in a rehearsal room a few times, and honestly, I agree. It was a very, very good sounding head. With lots of clean headroom and quite a clear bottom end (oo-er!).

    And indeed they have - no fuss! I just can't believe how a single packet of strings could be so 'wrong'! 🤣

    I recently purchased some DR Fatbeams from Amazon (through DR's Amazon store) and also dispatched by Amazon, so the real thing. Opened the set up today 2-3 weeks later, and not only was the A-String completely and utterly dead (to the point it didn't even sound like a bass string at all) but they packaged two G strings instead of a D (so, E-A-G-G). Absolutely woeful QC - I've never had a bad string in 20 years until today! When it rains, it pours!

    Just the video. Wal on record.

    Good lord above. 😰

    Rather weirdly, the Ray is only used for the slapping parts/verses. All the fingerstyle sections of that song are an Alembic Epic (including the solo). He used both basses to record that track!

    This. I've tried to buy 2 basses this year where the seller just wasn't bothered about actually selling the bass. My reasoning was these ads must exist to placate the other half.

    The one I saw in PMT looked like 2nd from left, colour-wise.

    Hello Josh, What's the weight on this one?

    On my BH550, I've never had it 'not' work, even using a multitude of different basses. Jazz/P/stingrays/MTD/Spector/Modulus The only time it's ever not worked, is when something is plugged into the aux port or effect send/return, or the Toneprint being selected isn't a head-specific one.

    Little late to the party here. The K-Series cabs had drivers made by a company called 'LaVoce'. I had the 2x10 version and they were *excellent* - best 2x10s I've ever used.

    I feel a stirring in my loins.

    Hi there, No trades on this one I'm afraid - apologies!

    Bank transfers are by far my preferred method. Simple, quick, safe and as long as you both have mobile banking (which most do these days) - you can see the money is in your account there and then. Also means you don't have to take a trip to the local bank/Post Office to deposit wads of cash!

    Mark Felton's channel is one of my absolute favourites!

    I've said before a couple of times, I get the idea that 'something is only worth what someone is willing to pay' and I do agree with that to a point, but, truthfully, I think we can all give most basses a ball park figure, and more often than not, a lot of basses I've been interested in, are way over this. And, so, they sit around not being sold. Again, I've said before, the new market for these once ubiquitous, meat and potatoes basses, is 5 years away from becoming outright unaffordable to all. At this rate of constant price rises, within 5 years, you'll be looking at 4k+ USA fenders and 5k+ Stingrays. At that point, I would suspect, the demand will drop heavily, they will then be sold and marketed as boutique instruments (a la Wal/Fodera/Alembic) and the current budget/import lines, are then, themselves, rebranded into the 'real thing'. There's also been a huge shift in the industry towards more budget orientated models - brands like Sire are knocking out Basses of unbelievable quality for a low price, and absolutely cleaning up with it.

    Alex bought my Reverend Bass. Great Comms, absolutely no fuss, and a friendly, nice bloke to boot! Good meeting you! Enjoy the Rev!

    Hi all, Here we have my Ibanez EHB 1005sms. This is the short scale (but still multi-scale) version, so phenomenally fast and easy to play. 32inch on the B string and 30 on the G. B-String is absolutely superb for a short scale Fanned frets. Birdseye Maple neck. Stainless Steels frets. Bartolini humbuckers. 3 band Active EQ, with variable midrange. Active/Passive switching. Fluorescent side dots. Weighs a supremely comfortable 3.4 kg, in conjunction with the short scale, makes this bass about as easy as it gets with regards to playability. More or less as new condition. Complete with Ibanez gig bag, manual and hex keys. Located in Moreton in Marsh, near the Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire border. Very often in the SW Bristol, Bath Taunton, Swindon area if it helps. Do not have the materials to pack and post, so pickup ideally, or I'm happy to meet within a large radius, as my feedback attests to, for handover (or delivery if you're really close). Thanks for looking!

    The audience don't owe you anything. If they're not responsive, get your head down, play your derrière off and get out of dodge. Entitled whining is never a good look - especially for a band as mediocre as Royal Blood.

    I've never understood people's problems with signature models. They more often than not, tend to offer something quite different from the norm. I couldn't give a monkeys if it's a Flea Bass or a Geddy Lee/Marcus Miller, Ibanez K5, et al. People in the crowd struggle to identify what a bass is, let alone knowing the name on the headstock (another thing - how many signature models have the name on the headstock? Not many I'd wager). I judge an instrument purely on it's individual merits. A great bass is a great bass and I'm not going to deprive myself of it on the basis there might be a Bass player in the audience, and they might know it's a sig model!

    Devastating news. Starting bass back in 2003, Andy Rourke was someone who really caught my ear with his phenomenal, moving, melodic parts. Nobody has any business playing bass that well in an 'indie' type band. Also, such a unique voice on the instrument - you could tell it was him within a couple of bars, which again is quite something in the indie/pop scene. The double whammy of this, is that we really, now, won't ever see them reunite - not that it was ever likely, but I hoped deep down, like The Police and Pink Floyd with Rog, that the impossible might happen just once. RIP Andy - thanks for the inspiring a young me to pick up the bass and keep at it.

    Individual members to stop picking new songs based on how fun they are to play, solely for them, disregarding absolutely everything else.

    Gladys Knight - License to Kill, the best, by a long way. Worst is the Jack White and Alicia Keys one. It's diabolically bad.
