  1. Past hour
  2. Or a bit more obscure, Prince Charles and the City Beat Band.
  3. I went for the Hercules Travelite, also for fitting-in-gigbag reasons. It's great, thanks for the recommendation!
  4. I was joking … I know it’s there
  5. Nobody? Nice virtually-new Elf with a couple of hours' use? Still here and yours by post for some agreeable amount of money?
  6. Thank you - I can't find a Bossa bass anywhere in the UK. I have another Bossa guitar that was Brian Monroney's (Tom Jones etc) and it's my #1 💛
  7. Our sax player tried using her flute once. It didn't really work musically and all me and the lead guitarist could do while she was playing was stand on one leg with t'other foot on our knee-cap Ian Anderson style. This was, of course, during rehearsal
  8. QUOTE FROM IG: "I've had a handful of messages already asking about this, so I guess I can come right out and talk about it. Mike Watt has been using a couple of my pedals for a while now, and earlier this year he asked if it would be possible to smash everything together into one box for a convenient all-in-one box for gigging and touring. After considerable back-and -forth and several prototypes, The Watt was born. The Watt essentially combines the Single Slice compressor with the Finally v3 preamp/D.I., giving you a tube preamp, variable HPF, and compressor, all in a conveniently sized package. Currently there are only two of these in existence, one for Mike and one for me, but I have parts on order to build more. I wasn't planning on even announcing this yet, but part of Mike's testing of the pedal meant using it at a gig, and I guess the word got out. I expect to have these ready to go by the end of September 2025." Wild guess - not going to be cheap!
  9. Hey mate- would it be possible to find out how much it weighs, and if the action can go low? Cheers.
  10. Several pickups for sale. I've owned all these from new. 1: Sandberg Black Label Precision Pickup. Taken from my Sandberg Lionel and then lived in a padded envelope ever since. New price on these is £120 (DV247 / Music Store) £55 including delivery. ________________________________________________ 2: Aguilar AG-4P Was in my bitsa P bass before I turned it into a Stingray! A very nice 1960s recreation. Photo to follow for this one. £65 including delivery. ______________________________________________ 3: Dimarzio Air Norton humbucker. F Spaced bridge position for guitar. Medium output with a very flat and even EQ curve. £45 inc delivery. _________________________________________ 4: Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Trembucker for guitar. Based on Billy Gibbon's Pearly Gates Les Paul. Like a PAF but with a little more output and a push in the mids. £65 inc delivery.
  11. final price drop before going back to the cupboard.
  12. This is a double header gig with one of my current bands and a band I used to play in! Doing it for "charidy man" so hope to get as full a house as we can 👍 It takes place at The Blue Lamp, Aberdeen which for a 130 capacity venue way north of most of civilisation punches above its weight. Full Nexo / A&H PA and it won the "Best Venue" award in 2023 from the Parlimentary Jazz Awards for the UK!! Link
  13. Jazz also as per Herbie Mann and Bobbie Humphrey.
  14. Clover basses. I don't think they are made anymore but some of the models looked quite cool. I was temped by the Xpression models back in the day when Bass Direct carried them. Don't think they go for much when they do come up. I don't actually know the history of the basses but before they stopped the general electronics and pickups seemed very familiar with Sandberg models and bore no resemblance to the earlier models.
  15. Today
  16. Pictures, please!
  17. 2006 Fender Precision standard MIM in chrome red. All original except 3 string tree to solve the A string noise issue and a Fender high mass bridge. Its in great condition and plays & sounds great. It'll come with the original white pick guard as well as this black one. Also keen for a swap. I just fancy a change really.

  18. Ah, that`s the EVO-1 version, apologies for leading you up the path so to speak, mines the EVO-2, thought they all has the headphone switch.
  19. First “real” bass was a 73 Fender Jazz with Roto66s. That’s what my hero played. Added a fretless P neck in 1976 because I thought it was cool. Realized that the Rotos were digging grooves in the fingerboard. Tried GHS Precision flats, Sound was okay . EMG active pickups, Badass bridge, brass nut. In 2011 bought an MIM Precision. There was my sound. Swapped necks and haven’t looked back. Sold the modified J for peanuts(good riddance) .Turns out I’m a P bass guy
  20. I know it's a bit more but I have the Blackstar Unity 30 as I wanted it to be closer to my U700 but at home volume. That's a great practice amp but I wouldn't want to lessen the features. I don't remember Debut, unlike some of you.
  21. MIght be worth noting that the AI music generators I looked at had a paid-for subscription where you could buy the IP for the song. ie with the free version the AI owned the copywrite so you couldn't really use it, but pay the £15/month you could then use it for whatever you wanted to. So I don't think "who owns the copywrite" is a particular problem.
