  1. Past hour
  2. I stumbled across this Korean guitar firm quite by accident but very impressed by the sound and finish. There is even a 5 string jazz style bass being advertised on ebay at present. Does anyone have any first hand experience of this Company ? They appear to make 4 string jazz basses too as well as a couple of 6 string lead guitars. Looks like they're getting noticed in the States but can't find any UK dealership by looking on Google Many thanks
  3. I had a great time last year. Having most of the basses upstairs was good, and actually it wasn't too noisy as everyone respected the quiet times I probably won't make it this year, which is a shame.
  4. I've been playing bass for over 30 years and what you say is where I still am. Then again, I'm quite happy being at that point and I just play for my own enjoyment not needing to play with others, so unfortunately I can't assist with your query, but just letting you know you're not alone in the boat in which you find yourself.

  5. Just to confirm I will be lurking down stairs with the guitar people. 😀
  6. It would have to be for that price. All i can say to someone who can afford that is enjoy yourself……
  7. Just Just got this one and it turned out to be the "secret sauce" I was longing for. That thing is way cooler with bass than I anticipated. It's a chorus pedal that can also add the creepy vintage "warped vinyl"/"worn magnetic tape" retro vibe of a haunted house. It does wonders sandwiched between two fuzzes. Obviously can be also used as a regular chorus, and a vibrato, and even a slapback delay.
  8. This is what a bureau looks like with the shelves/desk bit ripped out. The base of the "screen" is visible, but the top 7cm dissapear. I tried the next drawer down but there were a lot of looking downwards ergonomic issues then. Ah well, it was worth £10 on FB marketplace to test the concept.
  9. Limited edition only 50 made I believe, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong! Gated fuzz with two channels, channel 1 bypasses the tone pot and channel 2 includes the tone. Plus it has clean blend so you can quite a few different sounds out of it. Does that really spitty Velcro fuzz sound very well! There’s a couple of videos on YouTube showing what it can do. It’s not on my board anymore and I’ve been toying with selling it for a while now, mostly just with it being a limited run and it’s pretty cool but ultimately I just don’t use it these days and the money could be put to better use elsewhere. Annoyingly I don’t have the original box, must’ve lost it during a house move, but it will be packaged up securely. Price includes UK postage, cheers
  10. The Katana GO is an incredible piece of kit. Great sound & so easy to play music & videos. Wish I’d had this years ago! OK, so I’m pretty decent at learning riff, but don’t know the theory beyond EADG & where the 5th & octave of each note is. I don’t know how to work out what key a song is in or what I’d do if I did. If you were starting out today, how would you learn? Video lessons? Is there an app? Thanks
  11. If you like your Jazz basses with proper vintage tone but a boutique feel, this walnut and elm build delivers in spades. Nitro finished, loaded with Fender Pure Vintage ’66 pickups and quality hardware throughout, it looks stunning and sounds even better. Weight: 9.8lbs Specs Walnut top with elm body Roasted maple neck Rosewood fingerboard Nitrocellulose finish Fender Pure Vintage ’66 Jazz Bass pickups Bloodstone Guitarworks loom Hipshot bridge Guyker tuners Schaller strap lock buttons Fresh D’Addario EXL strings Supplied with gig bag The walnut/elm combination gives it a warm, resonant character with strong sustain. The Pure Vintage ’66 pickups deliver classic Jazz tones — punchy neck warmth, articulate bridge bite, and that unmistakable mid growl when blended. The roasted maple neck feels smooth and stable, and the nitro finish will continue to age beautifully over time. Fully set up and ready to gig. £850 ONO. Try before you buy absolutely a must and if you don’t love it as much as I do then not obligation to proceed with purchase. MGCS – Built to be played. Built to last.

  12. Joyo Orange Juice for me.
  13. Re-release version. It’s been used, so isn’t pristine but works fine. Velcro on the base. No original box.

  14. Just how bad was the gig Daryl ? Was it simply you picking up on some minor mistakes that an audience wouldn't notice or was it a major failing somewhere. My apologies but i seem to have missed your gig post on this and just catching up on things now so i'll go back and have a search for it. I know i hear mistakes on stage but just carry on and play the "jazz version" and no-one will notice as long as you look confident on stage or just laugh it off and the audience will go along with it. This is live music and sometimes mistooks happen. Most audiences will accept the occasional mistake IME. Dave

  16. Having a go at one of my favourite tunes Heatwave, my interpretation at least. I'd like if we added it to our set at some point Cheap Eastcoast P, flats and some foam. heatwave_draft_bass.m4a
  17. That's a shame. Are they able to swap it over for one with the correct finish, or is all the stock on hand like that?
  18. Hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm sure you're all familiar with the feeling that after a couple of hours' mixing, your ears aren't really "listening" any more! So I've come to ask for a fresh set of ears on this. I feel like the mix for this song is "getting there," but something needs tweaking, or EQing differently, and I can't place what.

  19. I purchased guitars and basses from Peach as I’m not far from Colchester. Their way of selling now ( appointment only visits ) was due to theft from the shop of high end PRS guitars where a couple walked in took them off the rack under their coats and walked out !! They are a decent bunch but their bass amp selection and stock is woeful. The store is like a western saloon and it’s a cool experience with personal attention and help. I think they are a decent store especially for guitars and guitar amps ( high end )
  20. Today
  21. I wholeheartedly concur with @Silky999 - this is a spectacular little bass with a rich and full sound - We even tuned the pickup angles between us, so it sounds perfectly even between each string. If I hadn't taken a 5-string Maruszczyk Mr.Tee Shortscale in P/X last week, I'd be having this myself! The engraved 'MGCS Basses' logo on the body is next level cool, too.
  22. I had one briefly in my search for two channel heads including the Tecamp Bone Fide and others on the way. This head and shoulders above the rest. GLWTS
  23. £20,000!! Thats just Madness 😎
