  1. Past hour
  2. Did people get signature instruments and gear in the past because of their musical prowess or was it more of a commercial decision based of how much units they’d shift. I’m not sure that anything’s changed in that respect.
  3. Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 with official padded bag. Incredible lightweight and capable amp without the lightweight sound. Industry standard for a reason. 500 watts at 4 ohms, 300 at 8 ohms. Collection from NP12 or meet up within reasonable distance.
  4. Here for sale I have 2 Pedaltrain Nanos and a Rockboard Duo 2.0 Nano 1 Bought for a client's pedalboard build, they decided to add another pedal on at the last minute, so we had to go for something bigger. I've literally applied the velcro, and that's it! Totally as new, tag still attached. With the newer style bag. £45 posted Nano 2 Older model with the older bag, has Pedalboard Tape applied. £30 posted. Rockboard Duo 2.0 Even smaller than the Nano, with more room underneath. I love the Rockboards. I've got 2 more of these as I was planning a fleet of mini boards, but now that I'm using a Quad Cortex, my Tres 3.0 has come out of retirement, so one of the Duos is now redundant. Comes bare with no velcro applied, never gigged and the bag is immaculate. Will also include the TRS Mini Mod for the side jack input. £40 posted. Pics coming soon. Cheers!

  6. It's an autocorrect fail. It should have said "I don't think anyone could say his style isn't distinctive." Anyways, edited my post.
  7. That's an autocorrect fail. It should have said "isn't."
  8. Hi All, A friend of mine has a well loved Fender Rumble 40 which she uses as an on stage monitor at church with the DI to the PA. However the grill cloth is damaged and needs replacement. Her dad wants to do this as a surprise, and seems to think I might be competent to help! Fender style cloth will cost about £40-£60, but I don't think she's fussed about an exact match on the cloth, just the grey colour, which means cheaper options are available. This looked pretty good to me. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pewihyer-Protective-Dustproof-Replacement-Speakers/dp/B0FF327BYT Any suggestions on cloth? How hard is it to get the cab apart to change the cloth? Or does the grill just lever forwards? Thanks as always!
  9. Lovely looking and playing GMR 5 string for sale. Black flamed maple top with matching headstock. I recently got this in a trade, but have just bit the bullet and got a Dingwall 5, so I desperately need to recoup funds and space. 34” scale, 19mm string spacing, bartolini pick ups and good quality black hardware. Plus it has the recessed strap buttons and strap locks. Its active with a two band eq. The good It’s lightweight, well balanced, sounds great. Great flame and great condition on the front, few knocks around the edges, but not bad. The bad There was some lacquer cracks on the back of the bass, so the previous owner decided to strip it back some lacquer and added a vinyl wrap over it in case of any further cracking. Sounded odd to me initially but when you see it, it is absolutely fine and a good idea. I feel this is reflected in the price. Any questions or further pictures required just ask!

  10. Today
  11. I was offered a short run of gigs as a rhythm guitarist a couple of years ago. I had a Squire Tele but I fancied a back-up and bought a Les Paul kit from Thomann. I expected to have to replace the pick-ups and possibly the tuners (and use a decent set of strings). I was very pleasantly surprised by the overall quality (considering it was less than £100) and with some advice from a carpenter mate regarding the finishing (I wanted a natural oil finish) I had a nice, playable guitar with a decent sound from the stock parts (and Ernie Ball strings). It took me a long afternoon to put the guitar together to the point that it was playable and I used it for half the set of the first gig the following day. I then took it apart to sand and stain the body and neck, which took a few more days (drying between coats took the longest time). By the time the second gig arrived, I used it for the whole night and the Tele was relegated to spare. I have replaced the pickups since and I managed to snap the top of the pickup selector switch which has now been replaced as well. I'll never be a luthier (my carpenter mate stifled a giggle when he saw the way the finish had turned out - a little messy and uneven in small patches - but he is a perfectionist), but I have been contemplating a bass kit as my experience with the LP was positive and thoroughly enjoyable.
  12. It seems to be a mix of the punk look of the day ,bass slung low and his big influence Jean Jacques Burnels swagger and stoops
  13. Thanks for the good thought but I'm definitely going to pass on this one.
  14. Who else played like Hooky ? Then or now ? Cure guy maybe but I'd say he was influenced by him . I'm not a massive Jd NO fan but he has his own sound

  17. Decent player, puts an interesting twist on bass guitaring. Never seen any of his longer form things but for a wee laugh and a bit of bass content on my lunch break, i quite enjoy his stuff.
  18. Re: Peter Hook; no-one mentioned his stance. He says it has done his neck no favours in later life. He stood out by playing his bass so low on the strap. Considering Mark King's bass slung at nipple height, it made for quite a contrast at the time. Also, did I see him with a six string Shergold Marathon or was that someone else?
  19. I like him and prefer him to the bass players online who take themselves very seriously, he makes me laugh. I think he is right about AI, and deserves credit for his comments. He did a kind of video collaboration recently with Wings of Pegasus (who I also like) which was cool. I can't comment on his playing other than that he is WAY better than me, lol.... I probably shouldn't have piped up because I also like Davie504, videos of Rico eating things and this 'Rotate your Owl for Science' video so I am clearly a dumbass, I think the internet has destroyed my brainz
  20. has anyone found out who manufactures the "New" Sadowsky Blue Flats?
  21. Yep, these guys are not today’s Jacos
  22. Vox Humana / ESP bass Nice PJ bass from 1987, made in the Netherlands by Vox Humana using ESP parts. Back in the day they had some kind of collaboration going on where they made instruments partly themselves and offered ESP necks and hardware from the catalogue to complete the instrument to buyers wishes. This bass has a handmade mahogany body with flamed maple top, hardware and neck from ESP Japan. The pickups are older EMGs, and the preamp is recently updated to a new EMG BQC system. The old preamp (don’t know the brand, the board is covered in tape) is included, but needs rewiring. The mini toggle is not in use currently. As you can see the bass has a lot of damages and usermarks. Nothing structural though. The bass plays easily, and the neck (profile feels in between P/J) feels great. The frets show some wear, but nothing problematic. The truss rod works but doesn’t turn very smoothly. The bass weighs 4,56kg on my kitchen scales. Fixed price €700 No hardcase or other extras are included. I've got a decent case available ar extra costs though. I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk if needed.
  23. I don't understand how anyone could argue that his style is not distinctive, you literally know it's him from the moment you hear his bass
