  1. Past hour
  2. Sadly not!
  3. I bought an early 70s MIJ Encore P bass on eBay. When trying to date it, I (with some help from people who know things) found that the pickups were actually Fender ones of the same vintage - worth more than the bass cost me. Sold in its entirety to someone on here. Damned fine bass, that one.
  4. Holiday the guy was out of luck fishing , sold up and spent his days trying to romance the holiday makers , or something like that EZ drummer , Gordon Smith on the Low end , Ibby 6string doing some riffing and the dulcet tones of myself with a bit of pitch modification , and a splash of Ozone through Reaper

  6. Ever tried a backbeat?
  7. Many years ago I bought a secondhand Warwick corvette from the bass gallery that came with a simple, lightweight Levy's gig bag. That freebie remains the only gig bag I've ever owned with its straps at the right height to not smash your bass into every doorframe, lintel and overhanging branch. Was a sad day when it started to disintegrate.
  8. Fantastic night last night at Edinburgh's Wee Red Bar with the 80s covers band. We were doing a two-hander with a 90s band and the place was packed - we came within 27 tickets of selling out! No, the venue, not the band 😉 People were dancing from the first song, which is always good to see and loudly singing along to the last few numbers. We hadn't gigged since June, because reasons, so it was great to blow away the cobwebs. Bass was my Sterling Stingray V into the venue's Peavey amp - I still don't know the model number. Maybe I'll look when I'm back there next week, if I remember. In the meantime, here's me grinning like a gargoyle while belting out Love Shack:
  9. The whole point is bring what you've got. I've never played a proper musicman or a bongo, still on the list, but I played a Harley Benton one year that I way preferred to a Wal.
  10. I got a wonderful and varied career with my first bass. Whether it was free is open to debate!
  11. It will come as no surprise to anyone that I did not actually build one. However, I recently picked up anEich Bass Board from Happy Jack. It is giving me IMMENSE joy. I played without it recently and realised how much I enjoy it. I can play at volumes which no one questions, but enjoy super LF action.
  12. Maybe a Curve Back, Hi Mass type that hide the ball ends, Gyker or some-such from Ali Express?
  13. Come back for free Tea and Coffee and Chocolate biscuits and take home a lovely Jack Casady Bass.
  14. Doh 🤦🏼‍♂️. Thank You
  15. Anyone in the Manchester era know if Darren aka @Dazed is okay. It's been more than 2 ½ weeks since he last answered my PMs. I know he moved recently, but he always answered within the week, so I'm a bit worried... 🫤
  16. That is impressive. I once gave a friend with a 3/4 on the larger end of the scale in my Up! and it was very snug indeed. I doubt it would have fitted a 7/8 or 4/4
  17. Today
  18. Bruce Thomas autobiography, signed and still there with my Profile when purchased on this very site. Reading it again at the moment. Wonderful.
  19. Great stuff Jim!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
  20. Had a fantastic gig last night. Small social club but it was packed. First set went well but no one dancing. Plenty of clapping though. 3 songs in to the second set, we played Valerie. Suddenly about 30 people started dancing, and they were up for the rest of the night. A good vibe on and off stage. Now the issue i had. We use an XR18 with an external 5Ghz router. It’s been fine up until the last two gigs. Mixing station on the iPad keeps freezing up, or rather lagging, and it’s hit or miss if we can trust it. The iPad isn’t losing connection, and there wasn’t many WiFi connections showing up at this venue to be causing an obvious issue. My Drummer couldn’t even connect to the XR18 from his phone. The plan is now to use Ethernet from the iPad to the router. We will keep the WiFi going but i feel safer with a wired connection. The XR18 itself was fine, no drop outs etc. I’m tempted to also get a new router but I’ll try the cable first.
  21. Don't know to be honest serial number: NB16171

  23. Sure is a lovely looking bass. I hope you find a buyer. My first alembic was a SC signature and in recent years I got a new loom from alembic to convert it to anniversary electronics. Truly great basses.
  24. Hi folks, for sale is my awesome Fender Custom Shop Jaco Pastorius from 2024. I have to thin out the herd and that‘s why I want to sell some basses. After years of buying, selling and trading it‘s time to "settle down" with just a 2 or 3 basses. This bass is in very good condition, purrs like a kitten and can sing like a bird! Wasn't played that much. Some tiny signs of wear on the fretboard. Electronics and truss-rod work with no issues. Comes with the original case and all the candies. Pick up is preferred, but maybe I can shipping to buyer's expense and risks. Maybe we can meet in person somewhere on half distance. If you need more pictures let me know. No warranty, no return and no guarantee because I am a private seller. But all informations is provided to the best of my knowledge and belief. I am open to trades, but there are only a few basses that I am interested in. Maybe Adamovic 6 String, Mattison; Ken Smith BSR 6 String, but you can try to lead my into temptation. (In case of trading we have to meet in person, no shipping!) Price is 4100 Euro.
