  1. Past hour
  2. Ta! It's only mobile phone footage but worked ok...
  3. Sounds very good. Daryl
  4. Here's a little blast of us being all punky at Rebellion recently...
  5. You Spin Me Round - Dead or Alive
  6. This was on my board for a few years, never let me down but just fancied a change so I’ve got a boss chorus on the board now. The toneprint options make it a pretty versatile pedal, found myself mostly using the Duff McKagan toneprint. No original box for this unfortunately but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers
  7. Got this in a trade on here recently but it’s just not got much use. Between the green Russian and the grey stache that I own I have my fuzz needs covered. This one is two big muffs running in parallel, one of them has a standard tone control, the other has a mid boost/cut. Certainly a lot to play with and a lot of sounds to be gotten out of it! No original box with this but will be packaged securely. Price will include postage in the UK
  8. And rescrew everything tightly, but not overtightening.
  9. We have a song about the vanity of a particular type of woman, the operations they might have to improve the appearance of their genitalia and the various places that they might have piercings. Decided that is wasn't appropriate for the audience.
  10. I'd still choose a used one. The selection is wider, and the bass is stabilized over the time. A new one may be hit-and-miss.
  11. Hi. Thank you for looking. I'm selling my LM IV as I no longer use it. I have only used a couple of times for practices. It's in immaculate condition having been housed in a flight case. Ideally would prefer collection but can post at buyers expense Description below copied from Markbass LITTLE MARK IV The new Little Mark IV amps add some amazing features to our flagship Markbass Little Mark III amplifier, an industry standard for tone, portability and value. The new bi-band limiter featured on this amp responds faster and more dynamically to your playing. Its paired with a 500 watt power amp providing impeccable bass frequency reproduction thanks to our MPT proprietary amp specifically designed for bass. In addition the Little Mark IV features a mute switch, and the 3 way switch that that includes the options of a Flat, Scooped or FSW (Footswitchable) EQ options. KEY POINTS > Little Mark’s legacy Since our beginning 20 years ago, Markbass pioneered small amp design with its "Little Mark" series creating an industry standard thanks to their amp's compact size, light weight, along with its signature warm and natural sound. That legacy has been preserved with the Little Mark IV, and has evolved to include the addition of new features requested by many of our artists and customers. > Updated 4 band EQ, Old School filter, 3 way switch Our updated 4 band EQ section features very effective controls allowing you to easily find the sound you want, boosting or cutting up to 16dB for each of the 4 bands to cover all the tonal nuances needed in any genre of music. Additionally the Old School filter cuts your high frequencies and gives a round and smooth tone. The 3 way rotary-switch allows you to choose between a super-balanced flat tone, a scooped preset that drops the mids while boosting the lows and highs - giving a superb slap sound, or lastly the 'FSW' option to control both mute and the Scooped EQ on demand by connecting an optional dual footswitch. > Bi-band limiter Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes. > MUTE / LINE OUT LEVEL CONTROL / PRE-POST EQ switch Featured on the front panel of the Little Mark IV series amps are a convenient mute switch, along with the Line Out level control knob that allows for precise control of the signal sent to the mixer/ PA. On the rear panel is a Pre-Post EQ switch allowing you to set the XLR output's routing to before or after your EQ as required. > MPT - MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in house. Our MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.
  12. Aaah, yes - I see what you mean. Topic title changed.
  13. Ah, pre-CBS vintage straplocks. Now, how to fake those ... ...
  14. A P bass for me, just because somebody once told me that everybody should own one at one point in their lives. (might also be me talking to myself ) It’s not bad I just don’t need one atm for the gigs I do.
  15. Wow!! 13 years.... 😮 Mind you, saying that, I'm 5 years into a recording project.. 🤔 These things take time when you've absolutely no idea what you're doing. 🤣 But yes - I'm good thanks, Si. 🙏 Rehearsing roday, so can't complain...
  16. Personally I’d be looking at a Sire. Absolutely stellar basses at any price.
  17. Something else from the Miguel Zenon catalogue, this is the tune 'Mariandá' from the 2005 album, 'Jibaro'. Very free for much of the performance but there is enough of a pulse to get it down on paper. A different way of playing music that isn't conventionally groove orientated. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/marianda-miguel-zenon/
  18. All good ta!! Finally got s decent recording of my band live, and now they want me to record them properly. It's only taken 13 years 🫠 How's you????
  19. Between the likes of squier and Harley benton etc which budget bass is your go to recommendation for a new player, keeping price as low as possible I know it's partly luck of the draw / bit of setup is needed here and there, avoiding the 2nd hand market, just looking at something I can order direct. Squier sonic Vs Harley benton pb 20
  20. I have a black alembic europa 5 stringer, bought online & unseen from Germany. Firstly i couldn't get used to the narrow string spacing, i didn't really take to the black colour, and it was always way too bright, even with the filters closed. I put it up for sale a short time after buying and got a lot of interest but no buyer. So kept it, worked on the eq on both the bass and rig and now it's my first call bass. In recent years i had some plug and play electronics upgrades from alembic so that it operates like my series bass. What was I thinking.? Confession is good for the soul...... alledgedly🧐🎶

  21. So you made it the 90's way and started a huge fight in the restaurant ?
  22. That's just it, isn't it - what works for one falls completely flat for another. Genuinely glad yours worked out for you 🙂 I tried again with a Fender Kingman when they first came out, and that was a nice bass. But I had to put one of those rubber feedback bungs in the sound-hole to use it live, which made it sound broadly the same as a P-bass and meant its only advantage was aesthetic.
  23. Today
  24. The covers band, Top Deck, played The General Havelock pub in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. A good gig; ‘ilson’ people can be a bit wary of outsiders, but if they take to you they love you. We never had to buy our own drinks all night. We played in an outdoor, roofed, area. Showtime was 7.30 until 9.30 as it’s in a residential area. The pub seems to be managing its relationship with the locals well. Home by 10.30 to some cans in the fridge.
  25. You need to bear in mind that the control plate on a Lakland DJ5 is a different shape to a normal jazz bass control plate, and so a normal preamp won’t fit straight onto it - that’s the reason for East selling a specific preamp just for the DJ bass. Assuming you can’t hold of an East one then you’ll have to use the existing control plate to mount it on
