20 years ago was 1974 to loads of people here? 😂

That's the bit i don't understand with some bands. If we find a song isn't working or the audience all of a sudden sit down because we started a song then we have a discussion on whether to remove the song or put it on standby. The full band will feel when a song isn't working. What i find over here is that the Glam bands can be great party night fun but with Blues / rock then a lot of people will be watching and admiring the musicianship rather than as an overall show so its swings and roundabouts really. Its different audiences for different styles. Dave

Hi all, up for sale is a pretty rare beast. I bought this from this very forum a few years ago as an initial foray into Upright. Dan's original for sale thread here has some detailed info on the instrument. It's in exactly the same condition as when I bought it, as it did just one gig with me and has otherwise only been used at home for practice. It's strung B-G and has a piezo pickup in the bridge, with a single jack output on the side. As mentioned in the original FS thread, it's the most authentic sounding and feeling EUB I've ever come across, and was precisely the reason I bought it. The shoulder is detachable, and fits into a pocket within the gig bag. It weighs very little and so can easily be worn on your back with the shoulder straps on the gig bag. Only selling as I need the space! £1000 - Would definitely welcome collection on this as I wouldn't want to post it, but I could also meet somewhere reasonable for a contribution towards fuel.

I bought Steve Harris signature strings and they don't feel right, I may contact rotosound if I can post them so they can check the authenticity.

Ah yes, the Dave Swift owned one. Very nice basses, they were. I had the Jazz version with the FSR hand oil stained finish. They were based on the American Standard 2012, but had the 2008 pickups, which were better sounding. I shouldn't have sold mine earlier this year. It had a hugely focused modern punch, quite unlike most other Jazzes.

I'm 22 years deep and am worse now than before I started... both as a general human and at playing bass. -
1994 MIJ Ibanez SR 890 with Wilde (Bill Lawrence) PJ set £300 with pickups or £200 without pickups Moving on my Ibanez SR 890 to raise funds for a Jazz V. This bass has a lovely thin and fast neck, but I find it's a little too slim to be comfortable for my hands, which are more used to Fender dimensions. When I bought it the stock active pickups had some issues and the preamp was noisy (and on closer inspection, corroded) So I replaced the pickups and preamp with a Wilde PJ set, currently wired passive as 2 x volume + 1 x tone. The Wildes have a very clear and bright sound which I found to be a big improvement on the stock pickups. The sale will include the original active pickups, preamp, and knobs. The installation was a bit challenging for my limited skills, as the pickups are a tight fit to the routes, and my soldering is not the best.. it all works but might not be pretty! As you will see this wiring has left a spare hole for a pot. My plan was to hook up a G&L style low cut, but as it's a work in progress I'm selling it as a kind of "project" bass, which I hope the asking price reflects. If you had different pickups in mind I'm happy to keep the Wildes for something else and sell for £250. The knobs were custom ordered from Xentric Guitars - I have a second small pot which will be included in the sale. The neck is shimmed to get the action lower - it's good where it is, but the bass side of the bridge is down as low as it will go. General condition is very good - there is some light finish scratching and a few small dings / marks as you would expect on a 30+ year old instrument. Some fret wear but plenty of life left in the frets. Includes an Ibanez gig bag.

Oh sweet. genuinely you should. They are both £2200 though, pit of my price range atm. Sold as new as the seller left them in the box. I went for the ash body maple neck but the rosewood fretboard and ash body played miles better in the hand and was so dynamic which confused me. The maple fretboard one didn’t play well imo. It was like I was fighting the neck. I may see in the store lol

Support home grown businesses, buy from Strings Direct for example, pay a little more, but get genuine products and customer service. I would also highly recommend Newtone strings. Order in advance as it takes a little while to make them and send them out. Also, IMO, don’t buy from Mr Bezos. I have, twice, both times the strings were fake.

It'd be logistically easier to deliver a planet. -
Yes, the very same. If there's a faded Sherwood Green American Professional Classic still hanging on the wall, it's already been sold to me I'll have a look at those on the site. Might have to go down there in the next few days...

I take it you are talking about the bass gallery in Camden. Funny enough I was planking on heading there today. I got caught up. They have a two insane fender precisions. Same body ash red oil finished but one has a maple neck and the other rosewood. What’s surprising is the rosewood is miles more reactive to dynamics. Played like a maple when you dig in but warm whe playing soft. Maple was rather contained in a meh way.

Or it's someone who thinks they can re-sell it for more money if they include delivery. -
