  2. Mary Anne With the Shaky Hand - The Who
  3. I now have five days to complete the bass, I've had to go to London twice in the last seven days so progress was limited. Today's activity is to file the aluminium backbone and floor to fit. I've cut it approximately down to around 2-3mm too big and now ill use the finger grinder and a file to make it better. The red parts below are all sacrificial and to make sure it all fits. All the drilling (bar four countersunk holes for the neck bolts on the bottom) and tapping is done. The top aluminium still has it's protective cover on. Once shaped, I'll polish it to an inch (or 25.4mm) of its life. Body sides are more or less done but need some filling, sanding and then priming, sanding, priming, sanding, painting, more painting, yet more painting and then quick drying lacquer. That might be tight Rob
  4. I’ve never been an expert by any means - every time I think the prices may have hit a ceiling, they continue to climb and climb….
  5. It seems pop music has becomes more something people consume, as opposed to something they aspire to create themselves. I suppose that's inevitable, given the corporate takeover of much pop music.
  6. 250 euros? That's a scam even if it shows up on time my friend. 😀
  7. I'll take a closer look as part of the QC check.
  8. Great sounding small footprint multi fx pedal. Too much fx to list but if you start at everything you'll not be far away! A big upgrade from the original ms60b the sounds are much more faithful. Lots of routing options too if you want to send separate links to pa, foh or your own amp. It been used sparingly so in great condition. £75 pick up Leyland Lancashire or can post for £7.
  9. Wouldn't surprise me. The prices steadily rising is a signal these things are rising and investable commodities and that the demand is healthy. I question both assertions. But I’m old and cynical

  11. Hi Dave, just lately I’ve been using my GB spitfire 5 or a fairly recently acquired Yamaha trb5 mk1 . I’m very lucky to have such a choice I guess. All the best mate x
  12. Separating subs at outdoor gigs is far more important than at most indoor gigs. Yes in an ideal world you'll separate at both but in reality, unless your indoor gig is in a really well acoustically treated space, there will be so much reflected sound that you won't really find many noticeable dead spots caused by phase cancellation.
  13. When I was working in the vintage guitar trade I was told in 2008 by a solid UK source that there is a group of vintage dealers in the States that get together each year prior to a trade show and certain vintage prices are set from there, and like you say, the rest follow and other vintage gear rises accordingly.
  14. One gets the feeling that popular music doesn’t mean as much these days as it once did, when we were younger. It’s more of a background thing that accompanies something else you’re doing. However, that’s viewing it from a musician’s point of view and, perhaps, it was ever thus and we’re not seeing it from the right perspective. Lady Ez, for instance, likes music certainly, but can rarely, if ever, recall the lyrics to a song or hum the tune. She is not a muso and is probably subjected to more music than she would if I didn’t play or was an enthusiast.
  15. A windy, weekend BUMP for this beauty of an bass amp, that's also capable of moving lots of air around! Stay safe, everyone, wherever you are....

  19. Great feedback @neepheid, I bet you were very pleased with that
  20. While I think most people will drive (especially if they're bringing gear), if anyone is coming in by rail, check the route here with their planner: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/.
  21. Nothing wrong with either approach but don't think that an all-pa setup won't work in small venues. This place held fewer than 100 people.
  22. When I had one of these basses, I treated it to a new pickguard from Adrian Maruszczyk as I wanted a different look. The bass was moved on a few years back but it seems I held on to the original so here it is. The new one cost me £45 so I'm listing this for £30 including UK shipping. My feedback thread is below:
  23. Here's a quality on-board pre-amp that I have no need for. It's a Glockenklang and consists of a volume pot, with a push-pull function to select active or passive use, and a stacked bass & treble pot with a centre-detent & knobs. These are £109 new at Bass Direct so I'm asking £55 (reduced from £70!) including UK shipping. My feedback thread is below:
