  1. Past hour
  2. Thanks Al, much appreciated! I haven't listened to any others yet, but looking forward to it!
  3. Nice one Centurion!
  4. I think they like telling me " No ". Daryl
  5. Take a good look at the Fender headstock (and I own one) That massive swelling that we've all become accustomed to serves what purpose exactly? It's far from a work of art to my eyes but hey 😂 It almost looks comical when I glance over at one of my Warwicks.

  7. The story is now going round that Thames Valley Air Ambulance battled to save him.
  8. Here we have an early CS Jass that I acquired a few years ago It was refinished in a deep pink colour, I took off the neck and could see that it was originally a Daphne blue colour I had my Luthier strip it right back and professionally finished in the original colour that it left the factory, finish is spot on Luckily the neck stamp and pocked stamp were intact and you can still see some of the original colour in the pocket A lovely Binding has been applied to the outer edges of the neck, nice dark board Gold tuners,knobs, control plate and screws are original to the bass, new gold bridge installed Scratchplate is from WD music The pickups that came with it were not that great and not original to the bass so I have installed Fender customshop vintage 60's ones The gold bridge cover came with the bass so I dont know if the original one got replaced at some stage I can just about make out the date as June 1988 or 89 A battery compartment had been added at the back and a toggle switch to the control plate as an active circuit was installed but the original circuit reinstated No case came with it but I will add a Fender moulded case to keep it safe for travel Weight is 4.4 Kg's A black strap and matching gold strap locks as pictured are also included Relisted as I needed to get the frets dressed and levelled which I had forgotten to check but its all taken care of now by my Luthier Price to include delivery to UK addresses any question please fire away and open to reasonable offers

  9. Thanks man, much appreciated. I rather foolishly sold that bass, which I very much regret!
  10. The bass sounds like a jaws harp!
  11. Assembled the bias board and wired the PT to the mains via the fuse and switch.
  12. Better be quick with the S2 - the prices are heading into the stratosphere at the moment... If you miss it, my mate in Manchester has one for sale, I think.
  13. Today
  14. Because they all look really ugly? 😁
  15. Great set up. Ran exactly the same rig for a few years pre covid. GLWTS
  16. A fantastic compressor with plenty of tonal variety using 3 styles of compression with their own respective ratios. The SSL Bus compressor, FET 1176 and Darkglass's own Super Symmetry. There is also a lot of great tweaking that can be done via computer with the timings of attack, release and even a HPF. In fantastic condition, including box, manuals, rubber feet etc. Specifications: Hybrid Analog/Digital Compression Pure Analog signal path Blend control 3 built in yet distinct modes of advanced modelled compression Connect to your PC/Mac via Micro-USB (B) Free ‘Darkglass Suite’ software (provides additional fine control and compression models) 10-LED gain reduction meter Touch-Through metal sensors Internal doubling of supply voltage to 18V (allows for extra headroom) I/O: 6.5mm / ¼” Jack Input impedance: 1M Ohm Output impedance: 1k Ohm (9V DC, centre -, 2.1mm, ~250mA current draw)
  17. I had to figure out the bassline by ear, as all bass tabs I could find are 200% wrong.
  18. Whats ya ear pleasure? Maybe a Secondhand Ibby SR300 (Super Skinny Necks) or do you want the conventional P (or J?) , Squier of Harley B...
  19. Great story from Nick Beggs (on the latest edition of Popbitch): "I was performing at a rock/pop festival in Europe in the 80s and staying at a hotel with all the other luminaries of the day. I recall seeing Ozzy Osbourne and Bruce Dickinson talking in the hotel bar that evening. Becoming overwhelmed by my fan-like mentality I helplessly ran up to Ozzy and spouted, "Oh my God! Ozzy Osbourne! I can't believe it, you were my biggest influence!" "To which he replied. 'F*** off! I'm not taking the blame for that crap." There's another great story going about featuring Ozzy, Slash, Cliff Richard and the late Queen of England (that I won't repeat here) 🙂
  20. I must admit, I did wonder about that. However, Jake E Lee put up a screen shot of a text he received from Ozzy a couple of days before he died, thanking him for doing the Back to the Beginning gig and suggesting that they meet up in a few weeks time when he went back to LA. So, perhaps it was more unexpected than you might think.
  21. Not usually in favour of the far right but... i can make an exception.
  22. Sometimes, these parcels show up, it happened to me a (very) few times, so 🤞🏻 !
  23. Have been interested in getting one of these for a while but still uncertain about what it can actually do when used straight in to amp! The controls are minimal and there doesn't seem to be any videos etc that really demonstrate its effect. You don't happen to have a recording you can share? Cheers.
  24. Back in his heyday Ozzy would have got up to some kind of dubious shenanigans with those chimpanzees. It would have been too good and opportunity to miss.They should count themselves very lucky.
  25. In terms of the music, my favourite Sabbath was definitely the Dio era too, saw them live ect, but Ozzy was a personality cult all of his own, even back then. I agree that if Sabbath had changed their name at that point then maybe people would have more readily acknowledged what great music they were turning out in their own right. I saw Ozzy with Randy Rhodes on the first Blizzard Of Oz tour in 1980. It was pretty good but not great, just another routine gig on a Monday night in the provinces for Ozzy. I waited at the stage door afterwards to get my programme signed but Ozzy looking a bit dazed and glazed-over, wasn't very approachable. Sharon accompanied him straight across the car park to the hotel next door. A few minutes later you could see him through the window having a drink in the bar with Budgie, the support band. Probably just a quick nightcap and then straight to bed.
  26. Dude, this was heartbreaking to read. I read the thread for the other (black) bass, and was looking forward to this one, but that sentence sent my heart sinking for you. A wonderful build, that I hope turns up for you soon. Mark
