Hello from cold Scotland

[pn_day]

Hi all,

I'm delighted to find a bass forum in the UK.

I'm based in Fife and have been playing bass off and on for a while. (Mostly off!) Main forum for playing is in church, and the occasional ceilidh.

Current gear (those of a nervous disposition should probably skip the first 2):
- Yamaha RBX-765 (fretted 5-string). Had this serviced 18 months ago as it was noisy and not playing well - got the nice chaps at Overwater to do this, as I was down there anyway.
- Cheap (thomann!) harley-benton acoustic. Can't remember the model number, but it's the cheapest 4 they do with a sitka spruce top. This has been marvelous for having handy around the house.
- Euphonic Audio iAmp 300 + 2 cabs (CxL 110). Unbelievable amp. Very transparent, loud enough to hurt, handles a 5-string and very compact.

I'm currently thinking of buying a 5-string fretless. Budget 250-500 unfortunately - marriage & 2 kids limits the GAS fund.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Cheers, and thanks to the moderators
Phil

I got the iAmp from Overwater.
Head unit is the iAmp 350 (sorry - got the number wrong!)

Hi-fidelity sound - made a decent trace rig sound distant, processed and lacking.

Do we have any Scots that live on/near Orkney? They could do us a great favour outing all of these scam Gumtree/eBay sellers

Just out of interest I wonder who are most Northerly/Southerly UK BCers are? May try that in Off Topic.

... and welcome Phil

Welcome to BC from someone who lived and worked in Fife for a while.

I actually have an Iceni Zoot Custom Chaser fretless 5 that I'd consider parting with if you were interested. It'd be the top of your price range tho and a bargain at that
