  1. Past hour
  2. Fender used to make one called the urban short scale gig bag. I have a pair of them which I use with my JMJ mustangs. They're not particularly heavy duty but for any gig/rehearsal where I can put my basses on the back seat of my car, they're perfect. The grab handle on the front is a great convenience when you have a bunch of bits & pieces to carry for load in/out.
  3. In fully working order, original box, charger , paper blurb. Collection from West Oxfordshire
  4. Fantastic bass compressor pedal, plenty of great youtube videos around and equally as great reviews. To your door for £75 in all the original packaging. Great condition, fully working, has velcro on bum ready for your pedal board / studio. Thanks,
  5. You know exactly what this is! That's why you're here! Been on my pedal board for a while, but I can't remember the last time it was used, which is a shame for such a great piece of kit. £110 to your door, no original box, but will be well packaged in a suitable replacement. Great condition, no velcro, fully working. Thanks,
  6. Another vote for the Tecamp Puma 900.
  7. Fully working Line 6 M13 + original power supply. Collection from West Oxfordshire
  8. Someone, please! Take this temptation away 😆😩
  9. It says "PROTOTYPE" on the back of the headstock. I suppose if you've go the prototype right, there won't be any changes.
  10. They're Coming to Take Me Away - Napoleon XIV
  11. I’ll have a listen. 12bar blues is good for Jam Night: the other musicians know the secret and the punters don’t so are always amazed that you can all get up on stage having not played together before and play a song that sounds good 😀. Knowing the song so that you can contribute some vocals is a bonus.
  12. Reluctantly adding my JMJ Mustang to the several that have appeared in this particular corner of BC in recent weeks. I’ve listed this twice before over the past year and withdrawn it both times, but having gigged it over the weekend it’s time to accept that Mustangs just aren’t for me. The bass is now slightly more road worn than when it left the factory, but any additional nicks are cosmetic only. To be honest, unless you compared it to a brand new one you’d be hard pressed to tell which dings were done on purpose and which have happened more, er, organically. I recently had the stock tuners replaced with Hipshot Ultralites (lollipop, of course) in the hope that these would cure the bass’s tendency to want to hang horizontally and make me fall in love with it. One out of two ain’t bad, eh? I’ve also had a set of La Bella 760F-MUS strings fitted, however these were cut slightly short (not by me!) and, as a result, the open A string rattles in the nut when played with a pick. This wasn’t an issue with the strings that were on it previously, so I would expect a couple of extra winds around the tuning peg would have done the trick. (Photos taken pre-upgrades but I will take some more up-to-date ones this week.) Collection from Haywards Heath, West Sussex preferred but I’m always happy to meet at a service station or similar within a reasonable distance. I’d like a straight sale but would entertain trades involving a nice Precision of some sort (American Standard, American Professional I/II, Nate Mendel etc). Thanks for looking and if you have any questions just give me a shout.
  13. For me, ‘inherently robust’ means clunky with mediocre hardware. Why play mediocre when you play class…. Life is too short for mediocre!
  14. @GreeneKing brought a GK Legacy 800 to the Bass Bash. We tried it through my 2 x BF Super Compacts. We were quite impressed with it, to the extent that I've now started looking for one secondhand. I also have a Bergantino Forte D, which I was going to sell until I ordered my BF 3x10 and now I want to try it through that. It's probably the most open natural sounding amp I've ever tried, but for me, with a P bass with flats and the tone rolled off a bit, I couldn't quite get get the mid sweet enough with the BF 12's. But I do like a lot of low mid. I can see why the Berg costs that much more though, it is a classy bit of kit.
  15. The late Rick Turner created a lot of magic in the world of music. The first PA system ever for a band called Rare Earth. The first Alembics. And this Renaissance is one of the later evidences of his brilliance. This thing can sound as bassguitar, acoustic bassguitar and upright'ish: all the oomph, grind and mwaaaah you ever need at 2400 grams only. Bass is new and one of the last ones new built by the master himself.
  16. As we are without a drummer at the moment we are writing new stuff and re working some of the guitarists older material so we had a little meet at mine this morning. Set up in the front room into interface and garageband....we enjoyed it but not sure the wife or possibly neighbours did.
  17. It's also annoying when you learn a song, get it worked up thinking "this'll go well" and it get a blank look at every gig & ends up getting dropped after 2 or 3 tries. Had that with Killer Queen. Good slightly rocked up version based loosley on the Jorn version. Got tumbleweed every time😡 Ours tends to be work up a new one to replace stuff that we've been doing for ages so as to mix ix up but the older songs go and we end up with with the newer ones all the time - that said more recently they have been better known covers guaranteed to get them dancing & singing and it's them difficult to slot older songs back in once in a while Finally, we operate to a single veto so if someone doesn't want to do a song then that's it. Had a few where that's happened, not from me as I am a musical whooer and will give pretty much anything a chance & go with the flow. Most recently I could take or leave "I Love Rock & Roll". A nothing song, but always works at the end of the night. It's 2 minutes, and a POP to play so 'whatevaaaah' 😁
  18. The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum - Fun Boy 3
  19. Ohhh, thats a cleaver idea. Cheers, ill do just that.
  20. I too had a Stomp and love what it could do and how it sounded, but when i stopped playing bass during lockdown i sold it. Now id love another but dot think I’ll ever need a Multi Fx like that again. Really enjoying the freedom of not having to think about anything other than the playing. I do use a Paradriver, but thats just for always on tone.
  21. Maybe it's just me? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266841131451?itmmeta=01HZD20Z2QS163J5DPR3EANT8X&hash=item3e20f889bb:g:MGAAAOSwTyJmXC9Z
  22. I agree with this. My musical taste goes backwards in time not forwards. Brown Sugar is one of my favourite tunes to play (when we are allowed to), because of how it sounds.
  23. Not long back from a fun afternoon at Ellon Gala. A truck trailer gig, yes - haven't done one in ages! It was dry, was sunny when we arrived but clouded over a little later. Wasn't super busy but part of the reason was that the bar area was away from the stage a bit and folk weren't allowed to take drinks out of the assigned area (licensing reasons, I presume). We heard later that folk in there really enjoyed our set, so that was good. It was just fun to play outside though and I think we did well. Remarkably it went pretty much to schedule, only started 5 mins late and had to chop one song from the set - I'm gonna call that a win! Bass was my Wunkay, through my trusty tone cubes (Markbass Mini CMD 121P IV and New York 121)
