  1. Past hour
  2. Hard to believe its a year since this sad news. Great pic @Blondy, thanks for sharing.
  3. I ate a Tesco burger last week. It disagreed with me, but fortunately, I'm in a stable condition.
  4. Thank you Dunk.
  5. Just wait for the usual suspects to nag about the puns.
  6. 2006 Squire Vintage Modified Precision Bass in Olympic White for sale - with some modifications to dress it up like a 70s P bass. I will include the Thomann gig bag with the sale. I have always wanted a 70s P, but as a mainly 5 string player I knew I wouldn't use it that much so I didn't want to commit too much cash to one. So, I found a Squire VM P bass in Olympic white which had a few dings online and then proceeded to create my own. Personally I think it looks great and it saddens me to sell it but I could do with a little cash injection right now. So, the main change is the headstock. The squire details were removed and sanded flat, some discolouration added to age the wood, a 70s decal added and then a vintage amber Nitro lacquer from NorthWest Guitars. I have flatted it back and flatted off the sheen from the back of the neck so it's nice and smooth. Aged string retainer and neck F plate was added (I always intended to add aged tuners and bridge but never got round to it.) Body - it had a few dinks here and there which have been added to (nothing major to be honest) and the bass still has the Seymore Duncan designed pickups, original bridge and tuners. The olympic white has aged and yellowed really nicely and the rosewood board is nice and dark. I know this won't be to everyone's taste but if you fancy a 70s P and don't fancy the price of one, this could be for you! I have included a picture of the original squire serial number for information. Not sure what else to add about the bass. It plays great and sounds just like a P should. The previous owner changed the wiring to cloth wiring and added an orange drop cap to the tone control. Any trial is welcome and I have packaging to post. Will look at quotes and would be happy to share the postage costs.

  8. Can I take the Spark Booster please? Message incoming.... Edit: I was too late. Fastest finger first and all that!
  9. Just a post in praise of the TI JR. Obv, not to your taste, and that is cool. But if anyone out there likes a nice, compliant string that is a bit (tiny bit) rubbery/bendy, then this is the set you are seeking.
  10. Exactly what a 60’s bass should look like 👍
  11. Hi all, I bought this on here in July 2024 to use on an upcoming tour, then decided on two separate signal chains (upright and electric) instead of using this as an A/B box. It has sat in a drawer in its pouch ever since, so is immaculate, and has probably only had a few hours use by me. It’s essentially the same pedal as the Basswitch DI (more well known to us electric bassists) but with a couple different features, namely a notch filter, and the ability to mix both inputs (for those using mic and pickup on their upright). It’s mainly aimed at upright players, hence the name and variation from the Basswitch, but it’s a lovely and very capable electric bass preamp, and has 2 effects loops, and a DI out. A real swiss army knife utility pedal. Perfect for running 2 instruments into a common signal chain and sending a single DI out. Comes with velcro attached (can take off if needed), it’s detachable rubber feet, and its protective pouch. Looking for what I paid for it - £150 + postage, or can be picked up from UB10, London.
  12. These look stunning! Very much aiming at the Rob Allen style of bass. RRP of around €3,500.
  13. Today
  14. Who is the approved repairers in Sheffield ?
  15. Relisting due to financial situation. Not the bass I want to sell most but suffice to say I have enough jazz basses, even if this is jazz software on precision hardware. Made in Korea in the 80s, it's well made and well used. Let me know if you want more pictures. I replaced the pickup covers with cream covers because I like the Tony-Franklin-esque contrast and the originals were in a state. I do not have the thumb rest. Quick edit, photos above don't show this wear:

  16. Ah got ya 👍🙂
  17. Thanks. Have another biscuit ! These are stunning basses in appearance, even better than my photos and the pickups / preamp don’t disappoint either. I couldn’t find any other preowned one’s for sale in the UK currently so this is a great chance for somebody to enjoy a magnificent bass. Cheers. Quent
  18. There's another track on his bandcamp page https://officialflea.bandcamp.com/album/honora
  19. I'm not a massive Chili Peppers fan but I quite like the Flea track from his upcoming solo album (not quite sure about the vocals though) He's also announced a tour with a single UK show at Koko, tickets went on sale today to O2 Priority people https://www.koko.co.uk/events/flea-the-honora-band
  20. These Harley Benton strings are amazing, a bit more rough under the fingers, but the overall tone is really excellent: https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_hqs_bass_45_100_flatwound.htm And here is the thread about them:
  21. One time I had mic stand thrown at me because apparently "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" doesn't need a bass solo between each vocal line. I beg to differ Ma'am!
  22. Final price drop. It’ll remain at this price until sold. Now £110.00 ✨
  23. I do it a lot myself, hence the irony
