    Quite a change from a high end bass to a simple J.
  3. MichaelDean
    @neepheid's Les Paul is indeed a great bass. I'll second going for the pointiest one you have! What's the overall collection like?

    Would a Tele Headstock fit the space, like on a Harley Benton? Mike Dirnt on Page 6 bass heads.pdf

    Dan, if you do an eBay search for "Kay bass" and then check (under 'Advanced') Completed Items, you can see how much every Kay bass sold on eBay recently went for. It will quickly be apparent that the only ones that break through £200 are the ones that qualify as Rickenfakers. Most commonly, Kay Jazz basses and similar stick at around the £150 mark.

    seems to be the modern way, bass is there to add bottom end, nobody knows what a bass does until it's not there

  12. BassmanPaul
    I like tubes. When I went to Engineer School they were current technology. If I had a choice I would still be using full tube amps. BUT age crept up on me and my tube amps just got to be unmanageable. Something had ti give. The route I followed was a 2KW capable class D Stereo power amp to drive my Acme Sound B2 2x10 three way cabinets. I usually use two in a vertical skinny stack at 4Ω per channel. If I want more I can run all four for 2Ω per channel. I designed and built a two channel tube pre-amp to drive the power amp and the whole system sounds very good.

  16. WalMan
    I have had rheumatoid arthritis for getting on 30 years now. It has been under control with drugs for many years now though I have had a number of joint replacements in that time most around 20+ years ago - left shoulder, right wrist and index and pinkie knuckles. Have started to get twinges in my left wrist and down the outside of my left hand recently and I ache after some gigs but it’s not too bad at the moment. Funnily enough my memory is that I have a pick pretty much exclusively until recently, though have found videos from years back that suggest that’s not actually the case, but have started to use fingers more and that seems to keep things moving at the moment.

    I’m going to be in Bath 12th July, Bristol 13th July and London 18th & 19th July and I can bring this with me if anyone interested in trying before purchase.

    I have this model. The finish is lovely, the weight and balance are great and people always comment positively when I gig it. Buy with confidence @neepheid is a great guy and this is a lovely instrument.

    Just went and watched some vids of the show on YT. I guess the pictures I saw must have been old, Andy was definitely playing a sunburst P (and had shorter hair than the pics where he was playing the Burns). Andy's actually a bloody good musician, his guitar work in Ride was excellent, and, frankly, he's a bit wasted in Oasis. But the pay is probably far, far better!

  23. Salt on your Bass?
    Loved the stream yesterday. Really awesome day and I thought the sound quality was ace. Bit of an abrupt edit though as I think geezer and Toni brought out a cake for Ozzy. Felt like a proper send off, those riffs are timeless and geezer is incredible as ever.

    I have an Ashdown CTM 100 and an SVT CL The main and massively important difference is weight. The SVT is a heavy, heavy beast. Sound wise, and this is just my opinion, nothing on earth compares with an SVT. It has to be that good or no one would ever bother to lift one. It's a bigger, louder amplifier than the CTM but there is a bigger CTM you can buy. The Ashdown is a beautiful amp, but the SVT is an experience.

    Only recently got this as I've wanted to try one for a while as a possibly workhorse for a function band. These are great basses but I don't think its the one for me at the moment. Really good quality and nice feel to it, and a good B string. Weighs in at around 4.3kgs. In great condition, only 1 mark on the body, the scratch plate and rear panel still have the cellophane on them. Could be interested in trades for 4 or 5 strings. Would prefer collection from Chelmsford, comes with a good Yamaha gig bag but I don't currently have packing material to ship. Any questions please ask!

    Time to move this on. This is a Gear4Music LA Select bass. It is a P bass, with a bound body, 21 fret lightly roasted maple neck. Comes with the originally supplied gig bag (not a fantastic bag, but it's better than nothing). Yes, new, they are £150. But, hear me out - this one comes with the following: A Lace Aluma P pickup Grover mini tuners (the stock tuners were garbage - I wouldn't inflict that on anyone - they went straight in the bin) A triple string retainer The ratty fret ends taken care of I'll even throw in a generic split P pickup if you want to steal the Lace for something else. Would prefer a local sale (ha, Aberdeen, good luck with that), but can post at buyer's expense.

    There is a single surprise minor chord in there, toward the end. Fall asleep during verse 3, and you'll miss it. And the right rhythm is important - get it wrong and you'll sound like the Sunday Strummers Ukulele Club. Ask me how I know...

    Am heartily fed up of eBay tyre kickers with 78 questions/requests who then disappear .... So to keep this in BC community, £50 price cut to £700 (plus 24 or 48 hour economy delivery at cost - £15/20 or thereabouts). PS. The DiMarzio Ultra Jazz noiseless pickups alone cost £150 a set ...
  34. Lozz196
    Opposite happened to me, punk band, Precision with new steel rounds into driven Sansamp, engineer proudly advised after gig how he’d had real trouble getting a Motown sound from my signal but after a lot of work he’d managed it! Back on track, yeah I suppose the bass isn’t particularly prominent in Oasis but it has to be there, interesting to see the choice made about gear selected for a foundational role rather than cutting through.
