If you haven't tried already, I'd recommend listing on TheFretboard UK forum (it's free) - Polite community and several of the longstanding members have S2s as their No. 1. -
Oops ! You’re correct, they are 4 in line… I will amend the post ☺️ -
Hi @Bleezar, I'll DM you. Both the TK-421-X and Volt Thrower are really excellent bass-tailored takes on the RAT but given I have a Volt Thrower for sale I don't think it's fair to give a run down of each on this sale thread. -
Would like to sell, but trade offers always welcome. Can provide cash. Just passing around toys after all 😅. -
Thanks! The crash was very violent, car destroyed, only injury: wrists. Bad luck, but I'm alive! -
This one a good example of one of the first early runs of the Geddy Lee Jazz, before they were part of the artist line. These are pretty rare now. Seen them sell for silly money. These have the limited edition neck plate and real blocks. (And maybe an even thinner neck, to replicate Geddy’s original 70’s jazz he shaved down). The neck is impossibly thin. sounds like a 70s jazz. A very different flavour due to the pickup placement. Cuts through a mix more. A more obnoxious jazz sound. Good for maybe things! Upgrades: CTS Pots Switchcraft jack USA control knobs Dimarzio Ultra jazz Noiseless Hipshot Tuners *optional John East pre amp j retro Was fitted before but removed and converted to passive… cavity was too small so battery box has been routed with a door. If you’re interested in the East Pre let me know and we can work something out. It’s not been used in a long time so not sure how it’s doing… overall really nice shape for a 25 year old. I’ll try and get a weight later on bathroom scales won’t be accurate but a good idea…. But it’s not heavy. Postage is possible Comes with a 80s 90s era fender case.

Bought in October last year but never used it. These are very sturdy and reliable stands. -
It has been a consideration at various times in my life; it was my sole income for 4 years of my later life when I went to university as a mature student but I'm lucky that at this point in my life I am playing music for 'me'!
-
Yep! My teacher introduced me to it, more than 20 years ago. It was love at first listen!
-
Nothing much else to do at the moment, my friend. Here is the complete bass part for 'Somewhere' from that Grusin album. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/somewhere-dave-grusin/

So true Len. When I arrive at a gig my mindset is, what can I do to make this gig fun for my bandmates. Not argue over the set list, lighting, monitor mix, weather , how loud someone is, ect... Daryl

I have 2 Orange 112 cabs and want to use my Warwick Gnome to power them. It only has one jack output on it. Can I connect that to one of them and then daisy chain to the other one? Sorry for the naivety, I've never done this before!!
-
Unfortunately that's not an option for me. I need the money. And for me I'm not sure it's a gain. It's money to survive and pay bills. Daryl

No need, he sounds like a good one so he'll move to another company soon
-
That's the one where a Terminator I personator chases individual members? I'd like that one!
-
Indeed. Tried all sorts over the years and I reached the conclusion that the best system is useless if bandmates are not using it consistently, and the simplest methods work if bandmates care just a tiny bit. Currently using Band Mule for availability, gigs confirmed, details etc. I used Google calendar for years quite nicely (we made a band account as well as having our own personal ones) but current bunch just couldn't make that work :shrug:

Ibanez SRF700-bbf the Continuing Saga
mcnach replied to probonopublico's topic in General Discussion
I would get a second opinion first -
Saw a Sire Vintage V7 five string on Ebay newly listed this morning.This evening it's now in my living room.I've done it yet again-he was a guitarist who bought it two weeks ago and when he does play bass just wants a passive 4 string P bass,he REALLY priced it to sell quickly.So in short he had zero problems selling his 5 string bass.

Too many musicians get this wrong, that is 100% the deal 👍
-
I play music because I love playing music. I hope that never changes 👍
-
Yep, playing music with others to receptive audiences is what it is about for me! I hated the Covid period because I couldn't create music (even covers) with others. I've also stopped doing gigs where it is 'paid rehearsals', I'm less/not bothered about financial gain as I am to how much I've enjoyed the gig/reception.

I think the realisation you have there, Daryl, is a good one. If we’ve got good band situations going it’s important to nurture them. Be reliable, not a drama-queen etc. As you get older it gets harder to start over. As to why guys (and gals) give in, my experience is often physical aging. The driving, parking, gear loading, standing playing for a couple of hours etc. gets harder. Luckily, I’ve been blessed so far with good health, but I don’t take it for granted. I also have a drummer friend who now has carer responsibilities for his disabled wife. I try to cut him plenty of slack, as he did many years ago when I became the father of twins!

Doesn't it feel good to be popular? Slow down sir, I'm not able to listen the songs at the speed you push them out!
