  1. Past hour
  2. Quite a change from a high end bass to a simple J.
  3. Thanks Don't sell yourselves short. You guys have a good thing started. You guys sound high end so I'm hoping to hear about high end gigs for you guys. Don't be afraid to say "no" if a booking seems dodgy. Daryl Daryl
  4. Break It Up - Patti Smith
  5. Dave, We have very few gigs with young ladies dancing . We have pensioners that stay glued to their seats. Daryl
  6. Maaaahn…😘 if anyone buys a bass off Lee (think he has a couple up for sale) I’ll post a brand new set of EB slinkies to the buyer.
  7. Aww Lee. Love you mate. if anyone buys a bass off Lee (think he has a couple up for sale) I’ll post a brand new set of EB slinkies to the buyer.
  8. Guess who plays da LAKLAND SKYLINE in this vid
  9. Get … out of my head ! Every time I read one of these threads and have decided what I’m going to write in reply , I find you have already done it 😳
  10. We canceled a few remaining bookings at Club Rossdale. Not really a place for live music. The place was not a match for us. Daryl
  11. Welcome to Bass Chat. I think all my direct experience is detailed above. The BW speakers are now another 5 years older and most will now be showing signs of their age. I think you've little to lose by trying the repairs detailed above. The life expectancy is going to be short anyway depending upon how you intend using them so you have little to lose if the repair fails. You haven't told us what the exact problem is.
  12. I've got one bass set up with Fender flats. They are like steel rods. Not enough flex to feel the frets under my fingers and string bending is horrid. Going to try the Harley Benton 40-100 set which is supposed to sound good and be supple for silly money.
  13. Gorgeous, but as above – really sorry that you need to sell such a classically beautiful instrument
  14. I Assume Google doesn’t work for him. A tab or two gets you close enough well that took ages…. Who is this @TKenrick dude anyway ? https://freebasstranscriptions.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Queen-Crazy-Little-Thing-Called-Love-edit.pdf
  15. "If it sounds good it is good." -Duke Ellington
  16. A Shout out for bassbags simply as they are local and have always been helpful for me ..and also my local emergency luthiers.. and they do get a discount and do pass some of it on. For a set of Eva's, I didn't find anywhere cheaper. But Amazon and eBay do indeed throw up all kinds of occasional bargains. Big question is...do you really need guts, and all their expense and inconveniences, when synthetics are so very good these days. Personally I like steel wound steel rope core strings best for pizz ..but the rest of my orchestra would rather I didn't 😂.
  17. Just looked at a recent version of them playing it on the Howard Stern Show with the great Tim Lefebvre on bass and he plays the A, not the G#...!
  18. Unfortunately yes, as this made it all the more frustrating
  19. We were supposed to have a gig at our favorite pup, the Coach House in Paignton last night. A couple of weeks ago we heard it was closing in June and we thought this would be our last gig there. It turned out it closed on the 1st of June. Luckily, we will get some gigs at another pub across town that know us, so all is not lost. We have been playing at the Coach House for 20 years, and I played there in my previous band too. The end of an era for sure.
  20. Today
  21. MOD’s please can you post this post and insert it in the correct place Thanks
  22. I'm selling my Sterling Stingray. I bought it here on BC three years ago and although I love it I'm just not playing it so it's time to find it's new owner. It's had mostly light home use since I've had it, I've only ever done 3 or 4 gigs on it. There are three tiny marks on the paint which are hard to see, aside from that it's in top condition. It's really light, the action is low and it plays like a dream. It's currently strung with D'Addario 35-95s. I also have a white 3ply scratchplate for it, I'll throw that in too. And it comes with a decent Ibanez gig bag as well. I'd rather not get into shipping so it's collection from London N4, or a meet up somewhere convenient. I do head up to Northamptonshire & to the Gatwick area regularly if that's any help. Any questions feel free to PM me. Cheers.
  23. Thanks so much, Rob. Tim was on here occasionally but not for a few years as far as I can see. He plays some nice fretless lines as well. I do like “The Road of Bones”, one of their strongest albums.
  24. I posted a corrected version of The Abingdon Chasp. It was a lot tougher than I thought as there are so many tempo changes, weird time changes and a lot of sections where Berlin is playing long chains of the same note but on and off the beat/pushing and pulling across changing bar lengths and changing octaves. In some ways, it only matters if you are trying to write it down. If you were performing it, it would be a matter of personal choice - it matters only that you keep it moving and changing.
  25. Really nice Lee, sorry to hear you’re having to sell 🫤
