    £50 price reduction Trades - X Touch Universal. Try me with anything, I can only say no 😁 Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.

    Some of the top end tribute bands are now starting to up their ticket prices, I always see Limehouse Lizzy every January, this coming January my tickets will be £38 each, well worth it if you are a fan of Thin Lizzy, they do a brilliant job of reproducing the original band.

    This mirrors my own experience exactly earlier in the tour at Glasgow. Word for word.

    Yes. She doesn’t lack confidence! Drummer was very good.

    The Status Graphite neck fingerboard is actually a 'Phenolic' material. Basically, very hard and very light. They never wear out, either.

    That’s a great reply, thanks. Reassuring too. Yes I last saw them about 10 years ago, so that would explain a lot re. the vocal change. And yes, Mike’s vocals are so much better than they used to be. That was a pleasant surprise. Agree re. Nathan, PRB (a machine!) and the brass. All good on that front. Roachford: Also good points, I guess I was highlighting the difference more than anything. If MK had nattered as much over the course of the Level 42 set they’d have had to drop a couple of tunes! 🤣
  11. Merton started following Level 42 at the Royal Albert Hall 22/10/25 - anyone else there?

    Did anyone see Marlee King opening the show? My mate was playing drums; he also happens to be dtum and monitor tech for L42 of course 😁

    Would consider trade against a Jad Freer Capo but really I could do with the cash.

    Sure the bass pack is £99 though - so if not an existing user the bass edition is definitely better value

    Hello, for sale or Trade is my Fender Jazz Bass, which was built in 1996 for Fender's 50th anniversary. The bass has the typical features of a '62 model: an alder body, a maple neck, and a wonderful rosewood fingerboard. Unfortunately, the beautiful grain doesn't come across properly in the pictures. The bass is very resonant and has the '60s Jazz Bass tone you'd expect. It weighs 3.95 kg. The case shown in the photos unfortunately belongs to a different bass. Trade is possible in a Fender Precision MIJ or CIJ Price is £950/1090€

    Yeah, they sell the bass pack separately so it can be loaded on any of the existing devices.

    I was there. I am a L42 fan and have seen them more than any other band. Not because I am a huge fan of slap bass but I believe Mark King to be the most accomplished and complete bass player I have ever seen - his finger style playing is remarkable. I especially enjoy the early jazz funk stuff immensely. Not so much the pop phase. Anyhoo, I missed the earliest years but, since the mid-80s, I've seen them probably 2 or 3 times per tour whenever they tour. Which, in recent years, has been every other year for a big tour with, usually, a London gig in the non-touring year. So I've seen them probably dozens of times over the past few years, including locally at the Cliff's Pavillion in Southend (well, Westcliff, really) just last week on this tour. I. Mark's vocals. I don't kow when you saw them last but I would say, overall, his voice is much improved over how it was 2 or 3 years ago. He lost a lot of weight and his voice improved (as a result? Fitter?). But for sure the ballads were poor last night, compared to last week. If you last saw him 10 years ago, for example, then I would agree it is not as good as it was but it has since got worse and then better! As an aside, Mike Lindup's voice has improved tremendously in the past couple of years. TBF it needed too - always rather thin and weedy, it seems a lot more like the 'old days' and he can more ably carry the songs he sings main vocal on. I believe he is doing a lot of solo stuff at the moment so maybe using it more. II. Again, no chat is how it has been the past couple of years, especially when doing 'album anniversery tours' like this. They just play the album then the hits. Roachford, imo, spolit the entire set by not shutting up. I don't see it as adding value at all, I just find it irritating. Then again, he has just the one decent tune so has to pad it out. And why go through all the false endings/audience joing in etc then carry on (over time) and finish on a weak tune no-one has heard before? Mystifying. Anyhoo, I digress. III. Agree regarding the lighting, which did seem pared down for this tour compared to previous years, for sure. A reasonably complex light show was always a part of the gig but not this time. The back projection didn't seem to get used as much last night as it was last week, can't imagine why. Personally, overall I find the band as good as they ever have been. The brass section adds value and Nathan is a great fit, busy filling the sound and vocals. Phil Gould left big shoes to fill but Pete Ray Biggin just blows my mind. Perhaps the Sirens tour was their peak but I still enjoy them. Big negative for me - I thought it a shame that Mark King has started to introduce more showboat slap bass stuff again. There was a period of some years when he didn't do that but, on this tour, it seems to have crept in again. No need - it aint the 1980s any more. Just goes to show how two people can see the same show and leave with different feelings about it.

    That’s such an enlightening video. Fascinating that they have entire buildings for the different production lines.

    Re. the 21/22 fret thing for slap preference, I feel the same way. It's too do with where your hand ends up relative to the end of the fingerboard. Feels more comfy and easier to stay loose than on a 24, in general. To me at least. It does depend on the bass

  29. mikegatward started following SKB 4U Roto Rack case - shallow version and Orange 4 Stroke 500 amp
  30. mikegatward
    Orange 4 stroke 500w bass amp in pretty immaculate condition as it’s been stored in a rack case (available separately) Here is the official blurb from Orange.. The 4 Stroke Series is our offering to the demanding modern bass player – everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Featuring all-analogue circuitry throughout, the 4 Stroke 300 & 500 speak with genuine authority, delivering powerful tones with a natural and rounded emphasis that leaves Class D amps in their wake. The Class AB 4 Stroke stays crystal clean and expressive all the way up, without ever becoming sterile or fatiguing. The centrepiece of these amps is the uncompromising tone stack which allows for an unparalleled level of control over the EQ without the fussiness that plagues so many. The active four-band parametric EQ covers an enormous range and opens up limitless possibilities. Whether you need to sculpt your signature sound, bring out the character of your instrument or combat troublesome acoustic environments, the 4 Stroke deals with all comers in an instant. For the finishing touch, our proprietary Class A compression circuit tracks seamlessly, adding further punch and fatness. On the rear, you’ll find the usual essentials: two parallel speaker outputs (min. total load 4 Ohms) I’d prefer pick up near Wakefield as it’s a 10.5kg amp but I will courier within mainland UK if buyer covers cost.
