    I totally agree and he certainly influenced me a lot. His melodic approach and use of playing an open root note while playing a melody on another string is something I learnt from him and an integral part of my playing.

    Luthier made 2 parts swamp ash Fender Jazz Bass 60's type lightweight fully loaded body (2.552 kilos!!!). Fitted with Seymour Duncan Vintage SJB-1 pickups, CTS pots, Gotoh hardware and Fender Jazz Bass knobs. Comes with non fitted white pickguard (no holes drilled and no screws delivered). Just add a neck (neck pocket is standard Fender dimensions) and you'll have a super light (was under 3.9 kilos with its neck fitted, which is now sold) and resonant Jazz Bass. The Fluke multi-meter with the probes, the kitchen scale, the folding ruler and the black marble stone are not part of the sale. NO TRADES! PRICE NON-NEGOTIABLE! Asking price, fully insured delivery with tracking number, to your home, for the following European countries (for other countries, please contact us): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom: €350 (£310 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just ask. Due to the fact that I don't play bass anymore and severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury, without mentioning a painful tendinitis on the right arm, I'm selling all the stuff I'm not using like this one. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale as, new, it would cost you close to twice my asking price... Don't hesitate to ask for more details, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

    Its Sky Arts which I do like a lot, but which also means its producing content which is easily understood by everyone. This means there idea of a "Greatest bassline " will discuss work that the general public can easily understand.. ie something like Pink Floyds Money...or the Cures A Forest. Not necessarily clever in the bass sense but immediately recognisable as a very good ....'Bassline'.

    I've put an MTD humbucker in my Z3, it wasn't hugely different in tone (maybe a little more bottom end/clarity), but it looks so much better with wider pole spacing:

    It was hard at first TBH, the guitarist borrowed my Strat and proceeded to blaze up and down the neck like a man possessed. He loved the Strat and I just looked on and inwardly sighed as he was 100x better than myself. I blame the fact that my fingers all point in different directions, please do not mention Tommy Iommi and his lack of finger ends, it doesn't help me here . Once we got the rhythm sorted out, it did start to click. I started running up the dusty end of the bass and then realised the bloke on the mixer had basically cut off anything above D on a filter on the mixer, so had to move down again. I wasn't really sure what it sounded like at all. Everybody was very nice but we were also very nice to the lady who was strangling and disembowelling a cat earlier in the evening. For next time, I'll try and have the Basschat 8" speaker with me, and politely drop that in the corner. Anyway, early days, the fact that the lady got away singing with a voice like that gave me hope my bass playing wasn't too bad. Rob

    I've done some improvements to my board itself over the last few weeks. First up, the feet all needed replacing. I leave my board in the flightcase so I just have to lift off the lid and plug in, but the feet I had on there were pulling the T-nuts out of the wood. I cut up some old spare laminate flooring for extra height, and glued and screwed new feet on. They're much more secure now. And then, I've had a big plug socket coming out from the power supply for years. The velcro keeps falling off it too. It wasn't a great solution. I finally found a better method with a panel mount IEC socket extension lead (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008002957857.html). So the top goes from this: To this: Much tidier and room for more pedals should I ever change up my setup!

    Virtually new Fender Bassman 100 cover from Roqsolid, i got it to use while my flightcase was being manufactured so was only used briefly. Its a little dusty but will wipe. They're about £65 new + shipping Cover is in Hope Valley, happy to post within UK, probably gonna cost a tenner just for how small it doesn't fold up.

    I think bassists are the worst people to pick the three best bass lines as it'll most likely be some virtuoso nonsense like Joe Dart or Jaco Pistorious or some million note a second slapper. Here's my possibly terrible pics. Peaches - The Stranglers Rotten Apple - Alice In Chains Turnover - Fugazi

    The P is about as standard as they come. When I say they are old, they are at least 20 years old so it might be that they are just super mature and all the boing has been boinged out of them.

    I've got a Double Trolley by Marc Grue. I got it broken and have mended it to be in usuable condition. I found this unusable, where the wheels were bent, and the wheel frame did no fit the stool, and the latch under the seat snapped and a few other problems. I've put a new latch on and rebent the frame, cleaned it up and tighten some loose parts so that it is in good working condition. I've have tried and tested a couple of times going to and from, and at rehearsals. This is a trolley which helps move your bass around and conveniently doubles up as a stool. Tyres hold pressure, and will require a bungee to fasten to your bass. Find out more about it here: https://doubletrolley.com/index.php Due to the size of the item, I would prefer not to post. Can meet halfway or deliver if not too far away. I can provide more pictures on request. Open to offers. Thank you

    Remarkable lack of interest on this classic on both here and the ‘bay. Great delay tones, but one of the most intuitive (if limited in length) looper out there, as used by KT Tunstall and Steve Lawson (and I believe the E1 version on Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood’s pedalboard). Not getting enough use here though, so need to shift it on!

    Those are little beasts! It was the predecessor to the Baby Z-4J, and it's specced very similarly but minus the neckdive and I believe with an EQ that's boost/cut instead of the boost-only job in the Baby Z. They're amazing little basses, and sound very modern and punchy. The 17 mm string spacing will not be for everyone.

    No rehearsal at all, due to drummer having a flat battery and not being able to start it as his battery pack thingy was in his electric car wot his Mrs had taken out.... (????) And one guitarist was too hungover to come anyway. So I spent the afternoon recording bass lines for the other band's upcoming 2nd e.p. (all recording is remote with Weeds!).
  26. LeftyJ
    Aye, the Narrow Tall frets are my one gripe with the Am Pro II Jazzmaster I own. They required some getting used to for sure. I've had many guitars with regular jumbo frets, and a Fender with medium jumbo frets, and I wasn't a fan of those either but these narrow talls are somehow even less comfortable to me. I'll take a medium or vintage fretwire over these any day!

    Last night's rehearsal (at the local village hall, our regular practice venue) was largely a celebratory home made meal and several bottles of wine to thank our sound engineer who is present at every gig but who rarely gets noticed behind the desk. His first gig with the Hulla band (before I was with them) was landed as a result of the single qualification he had - that he was available on the day. He was placed behind a 32 channel mixing desk and had to do FOH sound for several bands at an outdoor event in the village. From no knowledge of sound engineering, he has become a very knowledgeable and capable operator of the desk and now takes the annual Hullabaloo festival (last year - 6 bands, a choir and 850 festival goers) in his stride. He has even branched out into DJing. We did manage a couple of songs. Our next gig is the annual Crown Court Christmas party so we concentrated mainly on the Christmas standards we'd be expected to play. After the bottles of wine, it wasn't the sharpest rehearsal and there are only two more before the gig but with a bit of work I think we'll be ok. I was trying out my Sire Z7 last night. It needs a setup but is still very playable. I was also back to my pedal board after a couple of minimalist gigs with just a DI. Unfortunately, in wiring it all up yesterday afternoon, I mist have made a mistake as the output levels were well below normal and I had to resort to bypassing almost all the pedals and just going through the (new) Valeton GP5. All good in the end.
