  1. Past hour
  2. You're after "natural sounding valve style grind" but play an Ampeg V4 - am I missing something? Surely that and the BDDI has you covered?
  3. Had an absolutely banging gig today down in Poole at Country In The Park with Katy Hurt. We opened proceedings and had an absolute blast. Interesting moments..: I didn’t read the set list so was almost caught out by the first song My (Dunlop) strap lock popped out during the first song so I ended up having to improvise til I could sort myself out (embarrassing photo below) Cris, playing lap steel/acoustic guitar/mandolin kept stepping on my lead so I couldn’t wander the stage as freely as I’d been trying to do. Ironically I drove home via @franzbassist to pick up his Rockboard Tree 3.0 so I can have a bigger board to fit my wireless receiver… needed more forward planning on my part! But on the whole, an absolute blast of a gig. Very hot, very fun, and I hope we made some new friends. Shoes were the lo top Soul Cals again. Me pretending to play djent when the strap popped out: The whole band just having fun:
  4. Just a few bassists from the day...
  5. That's 200 transcriptions since I re-started everything on January 11th. Next big target, the 1000 🤪
  6. Exactly... Doesn't make sense to me.
  7. An old favourite of mine, this is the bass part to the Sting tune 'They Dance Alone' from the 1987 album, 'Nothing Like The Sun'. It was Sting himself who played the double bass on this tune (Tracy Wormworth was the bass player on the tour). Pretty easy read until it gets to the last section but that is easy enough to play as it is standard samba groove. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/they-dance-alone-gueco-solo-sting/
  8. Indeed. I love my Ashdown. I just feel something spiritual happens when I play through the Ampeg. It's all personal taste at the end of the day.
  9. The OP has been edited to say: "Price is £3,000, collected, no trades"
  10. Same, I liked that one, though very interesting that the Oasis song with the best bass is one with Noel playing, maybe he couldn’t stand anything he’d played not being prominent in the mix?
  11. That’s a banging rig @Salt on your Bass?
  12. Yeah Alan put it in just in case I change my mind. Honestly can’t see that happening yet but better to have it ready to go than butcher it later
  13. I was there, had a great day! Geezer was amazing, he can still play as fast as he ever could. Ozzy was clearly struggling to talk and move, but absolutely nothing wrong with his will to entertain and belt out the lyrics. Some of the choices weren't great (I could have skipped Sammy Hagar) but overall it was a perfect tribute to Sabbath and Ozzy. Shame Villa Park didn't plan to feed 40,000 people past 4pm and they were struggling with beer towards the end of the day too.
  14. Definitely bringing the Brawley 5 and 4 string basses. Rarely seen in the UK, except at Bass Bashes. Will bring the Roland V-bass system fitted on an HB MusicMan-like, if I still have it. This is huge fun and does a pretty good impersonation of many other basses in a live mix. It's going up for sale next week though.
  15. Dropped the price on this again as I’ve had some unexpected repairs come up on the work van so needs must unfortunately!
  16. Frankly, I'd redo the wiring from scratch rather than trying to find the specific problem. The soldering looks pretty untrustworthy in general. You'll probably save time by redoing it completely (it doesn't even take that long), and then you'll know it was wired carefully. I'd reuse the pots, unless you have suitable 'known-good' at hand, they can and do fail, but not as often as what bad soldering does.
  17. Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.

  18. I did indeed and it is a great bass 😁 Its price tag does not reflect how well made it is and how good it sounds either. Both my semi acoustics aren’t being used for the simple reason all my work requires Precisions and something with 22 frets.
  19. Lots to like for not much money. GLWTS
  20. Bright Side Of The Road - Van Morrison
  21. Selling what is one of the best jazz basses I've played. Upgraded with noiseless Fender pickups and Fender hi-mass bridge. Collection from Bristol preferred, but should be able to find a box for delivery.

  24. Pretty sure everyone knows what these are about. Selling as not being used and could use the £££ Price includes postage in the UK.
  25. Selling these value for money pedals because they are now surplus to requirements. add £3.50 for postage within mainland Sonicake Octaver. a very very good Boss OC2 clone £20 Sonicake Cloud Chorus v1 . Bucket Brigade type chorus. I read somewhere that the V1 sounds better than the V2 but I cannot confirm it as I havent tried the newer version. Together with the Sonic Ambience it worked very well with my fretless. £20 Sonicake Sonic Ambience Reverb/Delay. Nice options and with Tap Tempo option. £25 Can be collected in Aylesbury. Thanks.
