  1. Past hour
  2. Ah that's a shame - can't actually see anything - just a tiny blue square with a question mark in it !
  3. Rip It Up - Little Richard
  4. Mine are just absolute staple basses now. 3 or 4 tracks on the album and they’re going out live from July Onwards. very, very happy with them.
  5. Its not about the fee, its about the underhanded marketing. eBay provide a service so should be compensated, no arguement there. But doing it in such a way to hide their fees is my gripe.
  6. Anodized gold pickguard from my Fender Classic 50s Precision Bass. Free postage.
  7. I do no exercise because I'm lazy. I do do a bit of practice. The day after a gig, I used to feel as if somebody had been giving me a going over with a baseball bat. I changed to lightweight gear, including the PA - no single item weighs more than 10kg except for my monstrously heavy 11.5kg 2x12 cab. Plus the other band members give me more of a hand lugging gear than in previous bands. As a result, I feel fine the next day.
  8. That’s so small ! I just bought a cab with a 15” and it’s huge. It has handles but it’s so wide you can’t use both on your own. mind you I did only pay £10 I put casters on to get around the handle issue
  9. Back at you LiverpoolBassPlayer
  10. As long as you play the right notes the scale doesn’t matter!
  11. Just put another P together with a roasted Jazz neck . Same woods as my others but for for some reason this resonates and punches fantastically 👌 Fenders "artic white" body... Yet it's like a cream colour 🤷.
  12. Oooh someone is gonna get a bargain here. A mate has one in dark red from 83 (I think) and it's probably the best Precision basses I've ever played. Needless to say he'll never part with it. GLWTS
  13. Kent Armstrong Bass Humbucker for a 4 string bass. Circa 1990 when I purchased new and still in excellent condition and virtually unmarked. It's been in two of my basses over the last 35 years and sounds great. I think these were handmade, add £7.00 for UK insured postage.
  14. OTOH, I've just bought a bass from a bricks and mortar auction house. Seller's premium about 25%, buyer's premium about 25%. So if I bid £800 for a bass, there's £200 buyer's premium added so I pay £1k, and £200 seller's premium taken off the £800, leaving £600 for the seller. That's a rather bigger gap than the gap between £600 and £618.75 or £800 and £822.75.
  15. Very nice indeed, GLWTS.
  16. Err- fretless banjos can anybody actually play one lol
  17. Then you're happy, and many many other people are also happy. Everybody's happy. I don't know what you've complaining about.
  18. Today
  19. I'm always open to learning so appreciate the suggestion. When I get to my bass later I'll try what you said. The last thing I want to do is confuse things 👍
  20. If anyone is looking for another MJ-1 I've just listed my metallic black one in for sale 🙂
  21. I have my eye on something else, so this Soloking is for sale on the one-in, one-out protocol! Purchased in the Andertons blowout sale and basically as new. Just a few hours of bedroom play, never gigged. No notable damage that I can see. I changed the strings, lowered the action slightly and oiled the fretboard. Pickguard is still covered. As you can see I still have the Andertons box + inner box so it can be couriered. Happy to send via Parcelforce with their standard cover - buyer pays actual shipping, which should be under £20. Or you can sort out your own courier. £100 is firm payable in cash or bank transfer (no Paypal). I paid £150 new in the blowout sale so I think 2/3 is fair. Absolutely stonking bass for the money.

  22. I don't know what's going on with the pictures... 😕 If you copy/paste this into a new browser window it should display: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dmc0qsstctanrv5a9dkpl/IMG_20250511_142124.jpg?rlkey=30q3y5x613v5lnlhes6eqtm51&dl=1 It's the yellow one: https://www.markbass.it/product/markbass-mb-octaver/
  23. MarkBass Superbooster pedal in very good condition. It combines a clean boost (it's called 'boost' but it can be used to set a lower level rather than a boost when you press the footswitch), plus the classic controls from the Little Mark amps: Vintage Loudspeaker Emulation (VLE) and Variable Pre-shape Filter (VPF). The VLE acts much like a LPF, and the VPF is a bit like the contour control on many amps, that scoops the mids while boosting lows and highs. It's also a DI box. Underneath it has a little switch to select whether the bypass is buffered or 'true bypass'. Original MarkBass 12V power supply included. Despite running on 12V, I can confirm it runs well at 9V. I used to run it off a Voodoo Labs 9V multipower supply. It does feel like there's more headroom at 12V but I found the difference not worth using a separate power supply for it. Price includes delivery in the UK (1st class, signed-for). Here's the blurb from MarkBass: https://www.markbass.it/product/super-booster/ And the pedal itself...
