  1. Past hour
  2. 2 years ago I found myself depping the whole summer for @spongebob whilst he recovered from an eye operation Ska/Mod/punk/new wave but the dress code was polo shirts. I didnt have any but off to Primark and I bought several, all in different colours. Two gigs I had to wear a Mod style suit and tie (and again with them last week) It was fun to be dressed totally different from normal and to fit in with guys in the band Every gig they would throw new songs (to me) in and I learned them all
  3. I have had repeated success with a length of dental floss wrapped around and under both sides of the control knob to be removed.
  4. Best (so far) - Barcus 6-string fretless. very nice to play and a good sound, and I don't have to look at the singlecut while I'm playing it.
  5. Missed Nicks sister doing her solo slot as I arrived around 2.30pm. A great day of live bands doing thirty minute sets, timely changeovers due to running two stages. A really big turnout of punters, several hundreds, all having a good time in the lovely sunny weather. IMG_2714.avif
  6. Well done @Blondy. When's the next gig? 🙂
  7. 2x Behringer Ultra DI boxes, these have never been used, bought to expand gear but moved on to summat else. I can't say new but never used should give you a clue. £10 each + £1 towards postage. Thet are 17 quid new so bit of a bargain.
  8. Well done @Blondy👍
  9. Sorry to hear about your amp - I seem to recall it was someone like Surrey Amps who are the authorised repairers in the UK?
  10. I ended up in that situation for a band I played in regularly. 😂 The BL changed arrangements on a whim, added new stuff, mashed songs together and all with little or no prior discussion. Often it would be during the gig, but never with a rehearsal. I didn't like it and as the rest of the band didn't either, we left him. But I have to say that with hindsight it gave me self confidence playing and enabled me to deal with the the surprises that sometimes arise in dep gigs.
  11. Open to sensible offers. I'd much prefer a straight sale but I can always be tempted but the right trade!
  12. I think it was an actor who the keyboard player knew, listed as George Rawlins doing the voiceover Alien language ( and the ‘laugh’ on Toefunk).
  13. Same year and colour as mine. Best of luck with your sale. Tony.
  14. Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory Vintage Chorus Pedal NYC Made 70’s/80’s This is the one made famous in the 80’s by musicians including Peter Hook, John McGeoch and again later by Kirk Cobain. You can get sweeping chorus, subtle vibrato, to mad flange and synth like sounds from this unit. It’s a hard wired mains unit and the casing has plenty of dings and touch ups to the paint. It works perfectly and sounds great. These are quite rare now. I’ve owned two and this is the one that is all original. It’s an old pedal and like most vintage EH gear a bit noisy but it’s not a particular issue for live gigs.

  15. Very high quality Hall reverb with that lovely infinite reverb effect. Boxed and complete with sticker, guide, unused stick on rubber feet. I’ve tested it and then put it away as it doesn’t have a battery option and I no longer use a powered pedalboard. Like new. Price includes UK postage.

  16. Well done 🙏
  17. Sounds like you have earned some leverage with a mardy landlord because the landlady clearly knows a good thing when she sees/hears it. Fill your boots and bump your fee. It is well worth it to them if you are keeping trade alive for an extra two hours.
  18. looking for recommendations for someone to look at my streamliner 600 as some drunken **** knocked over my bass rig while we were in the other room then disappeared before i got to punch them. the amp turns on but no volume it just pops and the blue leds no longer work cheers rob
  19. Today
  20. FWIW I think these are great basses and £425 is a steal. I love mine!
  21. https://www.thomann.co.uk/allparts_knob_puller_tool.htm If you haven't got a really big knob, or one with a flange, it doesn't work.
  22. Bass looks amazing! Funny enough I have a very similar blacked out Highway One P-Bass with gold hardware and a MIJ Jaguar neck with amber'ish block inlays. Such a cool colour combo that black and gold with a dark rosewood board 🤘🔥 GLWTS!!!
  23. In good used condition (with a few superficial scratches on the front). Comes in/with original box and packaging. Happy to post at buyers expense, and can even deliver locally - but collection preferred.
  24. Must be the wrong time of year to sell
  25. For sale my Ashdown ABM 400 head with ABM 4x10 cab and flightcase for the cab. They've seen a fair bit of touring, I think/hope i've priced it fairly considering that. They still sound fantastic! These were built from what I think is the first ABM range by Ashdown. Built in the UK and I think in the early 90's. I've had the head and cab since around 2009 and bought the flightcase for the cab around 2014. They've seen a fair bit of action over the years but haven't really let me down. The tolex on the head and cab are looking pretty tatty in places and some of the knobs on the head have come off over the years and had to be replaced. Some of that patches on the tolex are from stickers and tags to identify them as mine backstage etc. The flightcase has a couple of spots of rust but is other wise in great nick and the wheels and brakes work well. Internal dimensions for the flightcase are W615, D425, H675. Custom built by the Flightcase Warehouse UK. Selling as they had been sat in a rehearsal room for a while but my band are no longer renting that space and I don't have room at home. Collection or meet up only.
  26. Do you know who's voice it is? At the time - the seventies - we had a surge of new and exciting scifi on TV and in the cinema. The clip I referenced above reminded me very much of the cantina scene from Star Wars' first release. I don't know quite why. I mean... they sound nothing like each other to me now. Somehow your album evoked that vibe and my imagination did the rest. The cover art also gave off a strong vibe. I had been choosing scifi paperbacks because they tended to have evocative artwork like on the sleeve of V2035. I picked the album out of the rack because I thought it had an image of an overhead UAP (UFO for us older folk) landing at speed. The LP's content did not disappoint even though I had heard nothing like it before. It wasn't until I'd played it for the nth time that I realised the cover image was an artistic view of a phonograph tone arm touching down on an LP as seen from the LP's POV. It certainly sold your work for you in my case.
