  1. Past hour
  2. Two of the three new songs that we rehearsed today are in the list. 35 songs, of which 10 were in the list, set to rise to 38/12.
  3. How many dB attenuation can I get with one Jelly Belly? Will two Jelly Beans double the attenuation?
  4. Excellent quality bit of kit - an SVT in a pedal Immaculate condition with box etc £280 including postage via special delivery within UK No trades or offers thanks, price is firm
  5. For me it's more that I don't like the sensation of playing on the string closest to the floor whatever it's tuned to; if I play a 6 I'll find myself happily incorporating the G which I'd normally avoid on a 4 or 5. As it stands I play 5s which I mostly treat as BEAD 4s, but I can't actually use one of those because I treat them as 3s.
  6. Great first gig of the year for me last night. New venue for us, The lion at Cas Vegas (Castleford), a well known music venue in these parts. Known as a bit of a rockers venue so booking a glam band was a bit of a punt, however it was banging with a full house and happy smiling punters. Booked back in October and already looking forward to it.
  7. Our first gig of the new year. We played with a dep drummer on New Year's Eve, as our own drummer had a long standing arrangement for a family party in Wales. I turned up a bit frazzled after having forgotten a couple of things and having to go back home for them. The parking was difficult. We had people shutting the rear door of the venue as we were loading in which didn't help and a couple of people were getting in our way. We were a bit loose in the first half. The second half was a lot better.
  8. The headstocks look like they've taken "inspiration" from Alpher, no? At least that's my first impression
  9. Says he bought it 14 years ago. For the OP. If you’re thinking about selling put it in the classifieds for the price you expect.
  10. lovely! I've a 5 94 that is amazing ... but I always forget how amazing till I play it! 1998 model I think- the original Bart pickups and a John East UniPre
  11. Genuine and common sense tip. You want something that can be easily found on a dark stage floor/ back room. For something so expensive, they’re easily lost.
  12. Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.
  13. I absolutely love playing it - something closer to the “Bowie at the Beeb” version. Epic tune
  14. I auditioned one in the Gallery. They play, feel and sound amazing but they are quite hefty even when siting down.
  15. Now that's the best news I've heard since I got the fretted semi-hollow bass. I am a very happy man!
  16. I've never had a Lakland, but that is a lovely piece of Lakland/Dan Lakin history. How long have you had it?
  17. selling my incredible 1975 Musicman HD130 amp. Bought this back in 2021 and had a flight case made it for it straight away. Was serviced just before I bought it as well. Sounds amazing.

  18. So I have a 2014 Warwick Corvette WPS 6 string bass. It has an Ash Body, Ovangkol neck, wenge fretboard. I've put a new JAN III on and refinished the body with nitro black and clear coat. Replaced the pickup screws and sorted the missing grub screws in the bridge. Bass is now in great condition, zero fret wear. I think 2014 was the end of the WPS series, Pro series went back to Germany. I've had a few Warwick's over the years so can compare build. I think this is a great build. Setup is sweet. Bass comes with a gear4music foam case. Any question, please ask.
  19. Is that an ultralight Lionel? Ive had 4 Lionels, alder bodied and they’ve been remarkably consistent at 3.3-3.4Kg.
  20. Thats @MrDinsdale and @Paddy777! Thats really really informative, helpful and very much appreciated!
  21. Today
  22. Cocktails for Two - Spike Jones
  23. Moonage Daydream would be a great song to play. Dave
  24. Plus the weight of the rope to stop them floating away . Those really are light and I thought my other basses were light at 3.2kg or thereabouts.
