Not sure my mouse sander is up to the task on that one! but cheers for the replies. I’ve ordered a tele for the boy and a fake rick for myself. My better half will be overjoyed with another bass in the house.

I've put my Yamaha CK-61 and MPC Key 37 up for sale and bought a Kawei ES-60 as a 88 weighted key home piano (£295 Thomann sale). That'll hopefully leave me with about £700 towards getting a stage piano. Perhaps a Studiologic Numa X 73 (£849 from Scan) if I don't want to spend much extra, or something like Viscount Legend One 73 (£1,555) if I can save up and justify all that extra ££.

Thanks everyone for the help. We think that we have come to a reasonable price and the charity shop has it up for sale. Not yet on their eBay site as shipping for guitars is sometimes a challenge for the, Thanks again. David

Origin Effects BassRig Ampeg B15 Fliptop recreation

I've been lurking here ever since the Bassrig Fifteen was released. I pulled the trigger on Thursday morning and it arrived Yesterday (Saturday), finally got to spend time with it today. The EQ controls are very interesting. They seem to interact with each other, so I feel like I'm still getting to grips with how to dial in a sound. However, I have managed to get a very nice sound with my Wilcock. I've only used a B15 once for recording, so I can't speak with much authority to its accuracy, but I am liking what I'm hearing. -
All the best with it - and do let us know how you're getting on.

I was just about to say exactly the same as @Stub Mandrel. Best wishes with everything and share as much (or as little) as you wish.

For sale one of the original Yamaha SLB100 Silent Double Bass 3/4 Scale, Traditional Design Details, complete with original packaging and paperwork. I bought this on here a while ago, thinking I’ll get back to playing upright bass, but then the lower back pain started to kick in again and I remembered why I stopped in the first place! Listing it for what I paid for it. There are currently retailing at £8000 plus shipping from Yamaha UK, so grab yourself a bargain. See links below: https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/SLB-100-Silent-Upright-Bass/pidKSLB100 Collection preferred, but I can get this over to the UK for collection there, or shipped (insured) within the EU. Genuine acoustic tone - play many styles Silent hollow design allows quiet practice Full frame replicates the shape of an acoustic upright Super Sensitive Supreme professional hybrid strings fitted The Yamaha SLB100 Silent Double Bass is a premium inclusion to Yamaha's Silent Bass series. This instrument features a full frame design. Closely mimicking the shape of an acoustic bass, this double bass is perfect for players who prefer the shape of an acoustic bass rather than the stick-shaped design of a lot of electric uprights. The inclusion of the frame on the lower half of the body also makes this an ideal instrument for players who like to sit when playing. The Super Sensitive Supreme strings which are included make this a great choice if you play both classical and jazz double bass. Full Description Genuine acoustic sound The SLB 100 features a hollow body just like other Yamaha Silent Basses. This makes the instrument sound just like an acoustic bass and is loved by players for this. The real wood body that is finished in a similar manner to traditional string instruments also helps enhance the tone and feel of this bass. What sets Yamaha basses apart from other electric uprights is their use of a traditional-style bridge. These bridges are cut just like those on traditional string instruments - making this bass great for both pizzicato and arco playing. Unlike other Silent Basses the SLB 100 features a full ebony tailpiece which further adds to the feel of a traditional double bass. Full frame design Other Silent Basses feature a frame which covers the top half of the instrument. This mimics the real frame of an acoustic bass whilst minimising the space. The SLB 100 takes this one step further and continues the frame all the way down the instrument. This makes the SLB 100 feel more comfortable for players who prefer acoustic basses or like to sit down when playing. You needn't fear about the portability however, as this instrument is just as portable as any other electric upright - the frame is still detachable for convenience and easy storage. Electronic integration This instrument offers the feel and sound of an acoustic bass while including features which are only possible with electronic instruments. Tone shaping is possible with the tone control and the volume can be controlled as well. During rehearsals you can ensure your bass won't make sudden noises if knocked. For personal practice the headphone jack enables you to plug straight into your instrument without needing additional gear. You can also play backing tracks through the auxiliary input to play along to. Yamaha Yamaha are well known for their superb electronic instruments. The Silent Strings series also includes violins, violas and cellos. As well as this, they produce the Silent Brass series of practice mutes, allowing you to plug in headphones for practicing brass instruments like the trumpet and tuba. For classical guitar players, they produce a Silent Series guitar too Specifications Size: String length 1,054mm (41 1/2") Neck: Maple Body: Spruce/mahogany Frame: Beech (detachable) Finger board: Rosewood Peg: Custom worm gear type Tailpiece: Ebony Bridge: Maple (height adjustable) Pickup: 2 piezo pickups Strings: Super sensitive supreme Electric controls: Volume, tone control, aux-in volume In/out jacks: Phones/line out, aux in Power supply: 9V battery 1pc. or AC adapter (optional) Battery life: Manganese: Approx. 12 hrs Alkaline: Approx. 24 hrs Weight: 10kg (22 lbs.)

Hard to know what icon to put on that. I hope everything goes right and you aren't put through the mill too much on the journey to recovery. Keep gigging and share your stories.

Just watched episode 3 with Nate and that was so much better. It was more about the bass and the bass lines rather than 'look at me, I'm interesting' like the other two main bassists. In hindsight, I think the producers should have focused on three different styles of bass and perhaps done an episode with Bootsy, Mark King, Guy Pratt, Gail Ann Dorsey, Daryl Jones, Norman (Fat Boy Slim), the reggae bassist and the other black guy and focused on Funk, Disco, Dance, Pop, Motown, Soul and Reggae and the styles and great bassists that influenced those genres. See if you can get other bassists involved like Stuart Zender, Flea, John Taylor, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten involved or talked about. Then another episode with Nate, Melissa, Hooky, Glen Matlock, Adam Clayton, Krist from Nirvana, Alex James, Mani, the girl bassist and focus on indie, punk, rock, grunge, metal and show the bits about John Entwistle, Jack Bruce, Queen etc. Try and get bassists like Geddy, Sting, Robert Trujillo, Jeff Ament and probably a whole bunch of other bassists who I can't remember involved. Then another episode to focus on everything else bass related like the history of bass and technique which they touched on like slap, fretless, pick playing and different styles. Also discuss equipment so the P-Bass, double bass, uke basses, amps, pedals and everyone who contributed in the other episodes can add there little bit, for example, Mark King showing slap and Nate showing playing with a pick etc. -

Thought this episode was very good. I’m not a particular Foo Fighters fan but they’re my kind of music so nice to see Nate go through his stuff. -

For £300 you can get 6-8 LED PAR cans, two mini moving spotlights and a dmx controller (TEMU), xlr cables, and a pair of t-bar stands (CPC). I know you can because I did.

Who is the dude with the steinberger who appears in the intro? Does he even appear across the three programmes? I thought it was jazz bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma but maybe too young? 🤔
