    I saw Supergrass open for Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium many years ago. They were great but the sound sucked. They're all local to me and quite often see one or more of them out at local gigs in town. It's nice to see seriously successful pros out enjoying amateur local bands playing in a pub/park/festival.

    Superb price for such a capable bass.

    My Lionel is ash body, 3.8kg / 8.4 lbs. Not the lightest, but fine for me. Could be lighter, yeah...

    Offers welcome on this, cheaper ratty gig bag option instead of hard case available.

    It's still a big lottery for £250 when you can get 2 proper Harley Bentons for that price...

    Just a slight bump, I really don't want to start advertising this on ebay/reverb 😅 Happy to answer any questions of course.

    NOW £70 POSTED Mackie 802 VLZ3 mixer Cracking little desk, I've used it for home recording and gigs - sounds great for both. Tons of features, great mic preamps, full working order, complete with PSU (euro plug with adaptor). Selling as I'm just not using it any more. Manual here http://kunstencentrumbelgie.com/overbelgie/802VLZ3_OM.pdf I'm in Manchester over the next couple of weeks - happy to meet at a services or even drop off if you're near the right motorway. Trades - I'm interested in Jamerson's original P Bass or *possibly* a compressor pedal - feel free to offer anything else.

    Final rehearsal last night for the folk and cider festival gig on Saturday night. Ran through the full one hour set without major issues, plus tea and biscuits afterwards. Apart from playing through the songs, it gave me a last opportunity to sort out a few issues before the gig, including setting the volume balances between the two Uke basses I'm going to be using. With one having the poly strings and the other has phosphor bronze, there's a slight difference between the two, so for ease of switching mid-set, just had to back the PB strung Uke back a little to match the poly strung one (couple of slower songs mid-set that sound lots better with a more upright bass type sound). Looking forward to the gig now, on at 8pm for an hour, so a fair amount of the cider should have been consumed by the crowd by then. Total gear load in for me will be the two ukes in a Fusion double Uke case, small pedalboard and my new DB Hype 8 in a small holdall - one trip to and from the car! 👍

    They are a bit finicky to set up initially but I’ve found Ric necks to be very stable over time. Glad you got it sorted.

    I read all the threads on here about older SS being so good but the cabs were heavy so I bought an old GK 400rb and a newish light GK 2x10 cab. Sounds amazing to me!

    "Stuart Zender remembered". Personally, I think that just having someone's name with no other information is just as bad - I'm on an email list and in a newsgroup where a name with no other detail as a thread title means the named person has died.

    Tuesday night at the Cavern, finished up playing with three others - female vox, female guitar, and male drummer. Sum total of their ages was 23 years younger than me. It was great fun. They are all really good - from a bassist's POV, the drummer and I have clicked from the start and like each other's playing. There were a couple of bands on - one was a duo, guitar/vox and drums, deafeningly loud (I carry earplugs and they went straight in), the other a three-piece who are regulars there with a drummer who only knows BANG BANG BANG - earplugs back in. There were four or five guitar/vox artistes, and in the absence of Mrs Zero, I was one of them. Rather a contrast to Wednesday night, which was quite a low turnout - normally it's a full list with everyone getting two songs, tonight it was three songs apiece. Managed to get Mrs Zero out so the audience weren't subjected to my voice.

    As far as Chinese sellers go, I would mention that AliExpress have a returns policy that seems to work and return items are sent to a UK address.

    Just got back from doing a last minute dep at a local club’s rock and roll night. My buddy in our acoustic duo does the gig every week, but the regular bassist was unavailable so I got the call. Ended up using his MarkBass combo ( which wasn't a patch on my Rumble 500 which I should have taken really.) Took my passive P- Lyte as I knew there was a lot of playing. Still, a good night playing some old school dance tunes along with a few I’d not heard in years. Guitar, bass and drums trio - drummer is a nice player who keeps it simple and straight and doesn’t speed up or slow down. Particularly important on this gig as most of the audience go to dance all evening so tempos are quite crucial. Some nice comments afterwards and home by 11.45pm so happy days.

    Bought new from GAK a couple of years ago, un gigged and little use, strung with d'addario chrome flats and fitted with East J retro circuit . Tried out in the Brighton shop against some higher end jazz basses and it was a lot better than some twice the price or more. Fender details Tap into that classic Jazz Bass sound Equipped with two single coil Fender Jazz bass pickups, this guitar offers all of the clarity and punch that you would want out of a bass and more. Melt into the mix with grumbling lows, crisp mids and open highs that produce a truly unique tone that has been reimagined through decades of Fender innovation – and accessed by dozens of legendary bass guitarists. The innovative wiring and magnets within these pickups provide for an expressive voice that is extremely well-defined and responds to the dynamics of your playing, no matter what your style is. Industry standard craftmanship This Squier Jazz Bass’ body is crafted from poplar, delivering a high frequency response as well as an overall light tonal contribution with sparkling highs. Poplar is a soft tonewood, therefore it offers a mellowed sound with warm lows to juxtapose the pick ups and create a perfect harmonic balance. The guitar itself is also lightweight thanks to the selection of poplar wood, providing a comfortable experience that can carry you all the way through the night With a maple constructed neck, you’ll be guaranteed a bright sound with plenty of twang, as well as excellent levels of resonance and sustain. Paired with a laurel fingerboard which will offer a smooth playability and high-quality physical feel beneath your fingertips in addition to a glorious amount of tonal warmth and depth. What’s more, the locking bridge works with the tuning pegs to help you stay in tune for longer, no matter how intense things get A definitive bass look So often described as the first choice for many bassists across the globe, this retro inspired aesthetic will have you standing out in any crowd. The space-age metallic blue body and matching headstock blends seamlessly with the exposed wood of the neck, as well as the cream pickguard, to achieve a timeless visual appearance. Specifications: Body & Bridge: Body: Poplar Body Finish: Dark Metallic Red Bridge: 4-Saddle Standard Neck: Number of Frets: 20 Fret Size: Narrow Tall Position Inlays: Cream Dots Fingerboard Radius: 12" Fingerboard: Indian Laurel Neck Material: Maple Neck Finish: Natural Satin Nut Width: 38.1mm Scale Length: 34" Hardware & Electronics: Pickup Configuration: SS Bridge Pickup: Ceramic Single Coil Jazz Bass Neck Pickup: Ceramic Single Coil Jazz Bass Controls: Volume x2, Master Tone Hardware: Chrome Tuning Machines: Standard Open-Gear Strings: NPS .045-.105 Gauges
