  1. Past hour
  2. Together Forever - Rick Astley
  3. Welcome!
  4. In my mind, Mr Collins lives his days fully lost in funkadelia at Mothership Mews, Rubberband Land, and his whole house is decorated like it! 💫
  5. Mutter...mutter.... 5 string... mutter.
  6. Absolutely lovely, and the replacement fingerboard looks superb. I'd be all over this if I hadn't recently bought a(nother) new bass.
  7. This is our take on the 'chopped strands' finish originally offered by Geoff Gould on the Alembic necks. What do you think? chopped strands finish - unpainted.mp4
  8. Today
  9. It's born for funk and rock music! Thanks to the ramp and 35 scale it manages to maintain a relatively low action and can be played also with a... "physical finge style"!
  10. Interesting article on Sky News "Robots listening to robots': How AI music fraudsters are spamming sites and taking cash from real musicians" https://share.google/1KocfxqaVx7QUGx7N Other concerns aside I knew these platforms were being flooded with AI content but the sheer scale of it, apparently 60,000 tracks a day just on Deezer and rapidly snowballing, is an eye opener.
  11. 9kg is not your usual 112. It should dangle ok. The dangle might help the near side clear your knee just a little as you handbag it. Easier to 'put' up on a shelf or into a small car boot with the handle like it is.
  12. Do you think he gets out of bed in the mornings looking like that? Asking for a friend.
  13. I saw Big Country a few times. Just before The Crossing was released, me and a mate flew to Jersey to see them. He worked for an airfreight business, they had an office in St Helier and he got someone to procure tickets; both of us had family working at BA, so we got cheap flights out. We had nowhere to stay and travelled in shorts and t-shirts. Found a room in Pontac. Gig day we thumbed a lift to St Helier (in a Lords Taverners minibus!), found the venue (Fort Regent Centre) and just holed up in a bar there. We saw the load-in and then Stuart and Bruce came in. This was mid-afternoon. Drink was drunk. They're stunned that anyone would want to fly somewhere to see them. We were invited in for the soundcheck...it was just me and my mate and a couple of crew (private gig!), more drink (Stuart gave us fresh t-shirts), then the gig. It was a great gig. Next morning we were on standby flights, so we're at the airport at 7.00am, same clothes. Band come in, see us, Stuart cheers (I remember him putting his arms up like he'd scored a goal), he tells me proudly that he's bought a wristwatch for £2.99 (this memory has stuck with me, him just going, '£2.99!'.). It's noticeable that despite the hour, he's not holding back in the spirits. Cleared to fly, we're on the same flight...Stuart is cheering when he sees us boarding. He's in the row behind us. Amazingly, Kenny Dalgliesh us sitting in the row in front of us. Over the years, we run into Stuart a few times and he always made some remark about the Jersey blokes. I genuinely miss him, it was a tragic, terrible, lonely and pointless death. I often wonder what could have been, but at least his legacy us pretty much intact.
  14. if I wanted high end sizzle Ashdown is not he go IMO I totally don't which is why I have used Ashdown since 1998
  15. Walrus Audio Warhorn Ages got a bit of D and D/ LOTR about it
  16. Hello. I belive the first bass is a Johnny Guitar based on your photos, and this link. https://best-vintage-guitars.de/johnny_guitar_jazz_bass.html I just picked one up. It's missing the pick up covers but looks to be in good shape. My truss rod is adjustable at the heel. And the pickups have been changed. Dimarzio paf jazz in the bridge and mystery pu in the neck.
  17. Hello Bass Heads. I am Mike From Victoria B.C. Canada. I found this site researching a Lawsuit era jazz bass. I just picked it up for $220cad with what I believe to be it's original hard case. Super stoked to take it apart and give it a refresh. I am up to 5 basses and 7 guitars atm. I have a problem lol
  18. Barber Linden EQ Pedal. Baxandall style EQ pedal, similar in style to a B15/Fender amp EQ but with some interesting options on the toggle switches. Remarkably similar to the Noble DI in the way that these interact. Price includes UK Postage.
  19. the police used to be a two bassist band ...
  20. Up for grabs is a 3leaf Proton Mk4 in Icefall from February 2025 in mint condition. A pretty legendary and fairly unavailable envelope filter! Avoid the wait, shipping and colossal customs fees... Now £370 including UK special delivery.

  21. I don't really know how to describe this one... can be a preamp, DI, Fuzz, Drive or EQ with a particular flavour of it's own. Great condition, Price includes UK Delivery.
  22. Trying lots of new things lately, and now it's time to let some of them go. A pretty glorious older EHX Bass Microsynth. More pleasing than the current edition, if a little more space-hungry on the pedalboard. Comes with a power supply. eBay & Reverb would suggest prices in the £600-£800 region, but pricing more realistically for a Basschat sale. UK Postage included.
  23. As some may have noticed I've been trying ALOT of new stuff recently, and I'm on the 'must clear the decks' side of that curve now 😆 As-new condition, hasn't left the studio. Price includes UK Shipping.
  24. This is a special one... Swamp ash body, roasted maple neck and fretboard with black blocks. The full Sandberg masterpiece treatment, including vibration and heat, and some of the best heavy ageing available. I need to properly weigh and photograph this over the next few days, but it's the lightest solidbody bass I have here by quite a margin. UK Shipping absolutley doable, collection welcome. Comes with high quality Sandberg gigbag, and a spare set of pickups (white covers). Any and all questions very welcome! . .

  25. The Joe Dart III Sterling Short Scale got a first run out last weekend. Lovely to play it has to be said.
  26. The old SWR amps have no sub bass filtering whatsoever unless retrofitted. Push a bass string and watch the cone move in synch.
