  1. Past hour
  2. Played a dep gig for my old soul band. The set had changed slightly since I last played with them, Boogie Nights, Never Too Much and Let's Groove had to be learned and polished and then rejigged again with all the mistakes/changes the band have added 😂 Boogie Nights intro and outro had become my Achilles Heel, the bridge I needed to cross to enjoy this gig fully. The gig was a wedding reception at the Stones Hotel near Amesbury (more than a stones throw from Stonehenge, which seems a blessing on Solstice). We did 3 x 40 mins sets with 40 min breaks which were filled by a DJ. I was a little apprehensive due to the heat that afternoon but the room was large with a high ceiling and a couple of stage fans plus the fire exit was open...cool as a cucumber! Gig went well, the long breaks between sets was welcome and I was pleased how the new stuff went even if they didn't go quite to plan, any bumps in the road were dealt with calmly 😁. Even Boogie Nights went well! The big plus playing in this band is that I get to sit in the engine room with Dave, probably the best drummer I've had the honour of sharing a stage with. He is my rhythm version of an old pair of comfortable slippers, it all clicks with him (lovely shirt too!). Overall a grand night and a good pay packet at the end of it 👍🏻
  3. Not here to answer your question but what is your band and when are you playing... I will fit it into our schedule!
  4. I'll give it a cross post over there. I have also listed this on eBay and someone has said they will make a bid on the listing - so this may well be gone by the end of the week.
  5. Almost new Harley Benton SpaceShip 40 with Hardcase and all that was delivered with it. Used only a few times at home, but put back in its box since I bought an HeadRush Core. OPENED TO TRADES!

  6. Or I can do it this way... http://play.culturepub.fr/play/player?player=7&pod=4489&widgetId=cbnews_social
  7. Sold to a very nice French fellow bassist I met this afternoon. 😊
  8. Just found him through Justin Hawkins who recommended him on his channel. He has got something weird but wonderful going on here, clearly a talented guy. He is a great player, I'm watching his videos and I'm laughing as well as really enjoying his playing - I got to assume he has irony turned up to 11, absolutely brilliant J
  9. Ten Cent Pisstol - Black Keys
  10. 😁
  11. Whoops! I never thought about the neck. It's a thru neck. I've added a picture 🙂
  12. I've decided to go to our gig at Rebellion in Blackpool on the train in order to personally save the planet etc... (rest of band all arriving on different days). As they're providing an AmpegSVT and 8x10 I only need to take bass, helix and an array of funky shoes and trees. However, luggage policy seems a little confused - anyone know if train travel is easily possible with bass in soft case? It says max size 1m!
  13. So decision made, I’ve gone for simplicity. My doubling gig has become a full on acoustic gig (with PA support of course) so I’ve decided to go with two boards as the combined board was starting to look like I might be over compensating for something. This will be the electric bass board and has only what I need to make my beautiful basses sound more beautiful. The Capo and the Empress are recent purchases but boy are they good/worth the money in my book.
  14. Urine My Heart - Rod Stewart
  15. 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.

  16. I did indeed and it is a great bass 😁 Its price tag does not reflect how well made it is and how good it sounds either. Both my semi acoustics aren’t being used for the simple reason all my work requires Precisions and something with 22 frets.
  17. It all depends on the opamp used, some will still work with very low voltage...
  18. Thank you Kev , It's really special and if I manage to move some other equipment I'll withdraw this . All the best , Tony
  19. Your edition is a fake as "recherche" is feminine, the correct title must be "À la recherche du temps perdu". That said any Harry Potter book would have done the job perfectly, furthermore they are available in different thicknesses for perfect angling.
  20. Hi Aberdeen bass players. . . . did any of you play with Dave Innes? I gigged with him a lot down here in London. One of the best drummers I played with, he is sadly missed.
  21. very nice indeed. Dave
