  1. Past hour
  2. Whoops I did it again! Another attempt at persuading myself that I needed and could play a 5 string! Another 4 string incoming means that this must be sacrificed. Played a few times at home and 2 or 3 rehearsals, where my lack of 5 string ability was somewhat embarrassing! It really is as new (I bought it from Peach about a year ago) , there's not a mark on it and comes complete with the gig bag and tools. Nice and lightweight and all working as it should. Strung recently with a set of light gauge Newtones Specs are here Prefer collection but happy to travel within an hour for a meetup - Essex, Suffolk, London, Herts etc. Would reluctantly post at your expense and insurance.
  3. ….. clearly you weren’t there in WHU ‘s first year then…..! Plenty of “frank discussions” over that very thing. PS Doobies at the O2 on Saturday night! V accomplished but the audio balance wasn’t right, at least where we were
  4. Thinking of selling my custom built bass. Body is basswood from a Westfield, with the neck pocket re-routed to correct the scale length for a jazz neck. The neck is from. Harley Benton jazz bass, maple and rosewood. The plates are tort, hand made by myself. Pickups are the EMG Tom Araya set with an added TKO killswitch. I will also include a Ritter thunderbird gig bag. Open to offers! It's by no means factory finish but it plays and sounds great, it's just on the heavy side!
  5. Beautiful bass! This’ll make someone very happy I’m sure!
  6. Some people don’t like tab, but I say anything that gets you playing is good in my eyes. I can’t talk for Brazilian music, but resources like Songster are pretty good. ChatGPT can also generate tab, too, but I don’t know how accurate it may be.
  7. It's the old "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is". That's why it's always best to buy from forums or from actual shops. But their 'market' is people who don't know what they are looking at, I suppose.
  8. Much loved sandberg California tm5. Original Sandberg soft case included. Plays perfectly, set up with sandberg round wounds including a tapered B string. I believe they are the 45 gauge set, just the right amount of tension in the B. Finish is not pristine, but this is the aged model so it’s not supposed to be really. There is a nice patina on the metalwork and some tasteful markings on the body. There’s certainly nothing that’s not in keeping with that character. There is dink in the neck and headstock that I don’t think came from the workshop however, and the pocket zip on the case doesn’t work anymore These are really great instruments and I would consider swapping for a vm4. I just don’t want to deal with 5 strings anymore. Price is £1200, looking for a quick sale IMG_0112.mov

  13. Beautiful looking bass. First time i've seen a WAL in white. 👌 GLWTS Dave
  14. I love that. Original and custom but not OTT. I'd have thought about that wrap myself but I just realised that of my 8 basses not a one has a pickguard!
  15. The TV show ran from '58 to '61 and as a young teenager I loved it and as a beginner guitar player I also learned the theme but was disappointed about the way it sounded on my first cheap acoustic guitar, I had no idea how they got the sound. It was a very popular show over here and I suspect that the theme had a lot to do with that, instantly identifiable and an ear worm too. Interesting to see that Blake Edwards came up with the idea for the show and wrote many of the scripts, this helps explain the Edwards/Mancini connection for the theme music, The Pink Panther came out in '63. The graphics are indeed cool and the style looks familiar to those of us who were/are Pink Panther fans.😊
  16. Hovering very slightly under 10lb on my bathroom scales
  17. Hello everyone. After 18 years of break I started to play bass again 3 months ago motivated cause they asked to help a band in a church, the problem is I always played bass by myself without taking any class and I've been using tabs and I'm pretty good with them. Now with the songs I need to learn I can't find any tabs at all. Are all brasilian songs, pretty easy but there is no tabs. Is there a site where I can translate the songs from YouTube or wherever in tabs?

  20. I'd definitely buy this if I hadn't bought the lovely Bryant from @bassace six months ago!
  21. Sandberg 5 string, bought new from Bass Direct in October last year (2024). Used for theatre tour which has now ended. Now I can switch back to playing 4 string! The bass was well looked after and travelled in a hard case in the car so wasn't chucked around by road crew. Plays lovely and received many compliments on it's tone. Reliced look but no dings from me. Neck is in great shape and super smooth, see pics... Looking for sale not trades. Feel free to visit me in Wolverhampton, I can drive to meet within an hour or can pack well if courier needs to be arranged. Spec in pictures.

  22. Today
  23. Great to play some very Dusty Hill...
  24. I had one of these coupled to an Acoustic Image Focus 2 Series II head; Best fretless tone I ever had. GLWYS.
  25. Wondering if this is my old bass. Mine was a monster. Trying to recall if I did a deal with a guy in Cardiff for a purple sparkly StingRay 5 or if I gave him the StingRay to acquire the Clover. GLWTS. Great basses.
