On the National Express there's a jolly hostess selling crisps and tea She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks for a sky-high fee Mini-skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle back in '63 But it's hard to get by when your árse is the size of a small country3 points

Originally custom made for Kev Hopper (like my fretless ACG), this is a stunning little bass with 32" scale and ultra slim neck (1.35" nut). Obviously the design takes inspiration from Carl Thompson. Conveniently the initials are the same as my FaceBook moniker Clarky Bass, in case I forget who I am. Plays super fast and sounds very gnarly. As does my (pictured) sausage dog Pablo2 points

Reluctantly up for sale is my ‘62 RI CIJ Fender Jazz - superb jazz tones & Very good condition apart from some buckle rash scratches on the back - i bought this bass NEW in 2005 & it was my main gigging bass for many years - just doesn’t get played anymore & deserves to!! Moving house & need to free up some space-It’s not too heavy - approx 9lbs ( bathroom scales) sounds & plays great - can include cheap gig bag free or proper fender padded gig bag for a little extra. The Aguilar 4j HC pickups alone now retail for over £200!!!-Collection preferred - thanks for looking - ps I would gladly share some of the mileage if meeting somewhere en route (within reason) to be discussed2 points -
SOLD This is somewhat of a feeler, only from the perspective that I reserve the right to withdraw this any point. It's a great bass, and whilst I want the funds to use for another Lakland.....I'm still not 100% sure I want rid of it. This is an excellent condition (mint maybe, need to check it over fully late), 2016 Lakland Skyline 55-01, "But that's only £95 cheaper than a new one" I hear you cry, well yes but this bass has upgraded pickups and electronics. It's been fitted with US Bartolini Dual Coils and a 3 band, active/passive, Bartolini NTMB. That's around £250 worth of extras. Skylines typically come with no case, you might get lucky and shop give you a simple bag to get it home in, but this comes with a simple Gator hardcase (pics later). Weight comes in at approx 9lbs 7oz on my kitchen scales. Balances beautifully. 35” with 19mm spacing Cash preferred, may consider a Lakland DJ5 in trade. Any questions, just ask This is for sale only in the UK, as I believe it's the last of the Indian Rosewood models before CITES took hold of it. It's currently strung with La Bella Gold White Nylon Tapewounds It can be heard recorded here: Here: And a quick little summitsummit here: Si2 points -

Whatever the reason, it was a valid question that didn’t need the silly answer. OP, let me know if you’d like these comments scrubbed from your thread 👍🏼2 points

Fair enough. When I originally read your comment it came across as spiteful and pointless. The guy makes no pretence in the video to be a rock god and thank goodness he’s not trying to play yet another slap bass solo like Flea or sub-Jaco noodle. Seems the channel is for a guitar shop. This fella seems to have been given the task of showing off a metal bass and is doing a passable job. Just seems the forum is getting more and more clogged up with finger pointing and negativity. Perhaps I’ve just for a thin skin these days, but he’s playing bass so well done to him!2 points

For reasons too long to put into words, if you like how they both play, then revert to the lowest common denominator, which is the visual aesthetic. Which one looks the nicest, which one do you think would look better on you and which one do you want to keep picking up time and again. Born from a discussion as whether Geddy used a Rickenbacker or a Fender Jazz on Farewell To Kings, Gary/cetera and I put on a bass blind shoot out at last years SE Bass Bash; 25-30 attendees tried to select the correct bass from the fifteen that were submitted for the test. The highest mark was 3.5/4 out of 15, there were quite a few zeros with some people not even recognising how their own basses sounded. It's highly unlikely that once you're in a band environment the nuances that you're applying will make any difference.2 points

Yep it’s a VM. Much loved - and for the money you’d get selling it, you won’t get a better passive jazz. Great bass for either you or your daughter.2 points

An excelent song, we introduced it and now its normally in our last or near last closing songs, never fails to go down a storm. And I don't see anything wrong with the lyrics either, it is an underage girl coming on to an adult man, and him rebuffing her, which is lets face it, what is supposed to happen. Clair by Gilbert O'Sullivan is an interesting one, which I happened to be reading about recently as I was listening to it* and thought these lyrics sound a bit dodgy, but there is a lot about it on the net, there was a real Clair, and it was a story about him and her and there was nothing dodgy about it. Both of these songs are at the risk of an understandable but very unfortunate backlash against relationships between adult men and young girls that are very important for healthy development for girls. Unfortunately because the risk of abuse (and alarming incidence of it), the pendulum can sometimes swing too far and make innocent relationships seem dodgy. I mean I wouldn't do Clair as a song because it is a god awful song, but the lyrics would seem dodgy now. * because 'alone again, naturally' came on and I realised how dark the lyrics were. Sing something in a gentle way and noone notices.2 points

Alternatively, a relatively cheap travel bass may be the answer. Having seen @MacDaddy's folding bass and guitar, I bought @Happy Jack one of these and he seems to like it too.2 points

Hi guys, I'm a rehab bass player, basically lost the faith few years ago, started playing other instruments more, ended up playing more electronic music than anything and getting back to it now since I just got a new band. I used to be quite geeky with the gear, I owned 22 bass in 8 years, not many amps tho, just had a SWR Red Head which I kept until I could not fit it into my flat. Right now I just have a lawsuit fujigen jazzbass branded Astoria. Few of my stuff: and my actual band :1 point

My 2003 SR5 ash/maple sounds great recorded, in a live band - has that balance between a warm vintage sound and more modern focus, so it's great for most genres including Motown and Stax - as I say I'd go ceramic. This is mine - really my favourite bass. Of course, they've now gone neodymium/18 volt - still a great bass. In this case, ebony!1 point

Saw Elton live for the first time yesterday. An impressive show all round. Matt Bissonette was an absolute monster - the FOH mix was superb and he cut through brilliantly. I now have major Musicman GAS...thanks Matt 😡1 point

"Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife" Long Black veil, Johnny cash (might not be him who wrote it, I'm not sure) At eleven years old, bored witless one long summer holiday I put on a Johnny Cash album just to see... Then I wanted to play an instrument and write songs. Ok, I work in an accountancy company now, but I really like music.1 point

Ignorance and/or ego. It worries me, this. No-one, absolutely no-one, fails to recognise that the sound of the amp is as essential to guitarist's sound as the guitar itself. Yet bass players are supposed to abdicate their sound to 'what the soundman thinks is best'? The relative cost and quality of the kit is irrelevant; it's the sound you get that matters and if you have spent a great deal of effort to get a sound that suits your style, the music you play and the band you play with why should the audience have to accept some identikit sound? IMHO the job of a PA is to be as transparent as possible, and that's why a good PA is so expensive. Even in my limited experience of being recorded, and DI'd, both times the engineers got me in the control room and sought my advice on the sound I wanted and involved me in that aspect of the mix.1 point

I use the site a lot as there’s quite a bit of reggae on there, and I’ve also found myself playing tunes that i wouldn’t normally play because the music is there, I can read music but I’m a bit slow so for speed purposes I use the tab that Chris puts underneath. Fabulous job Chris thank you 👍1 point

So update time, regular strings fitted, and had the Graphtec Nut fitted, plus an upgrade of pots/Jack/cap - thanks to our very own @gary mac for that. Should add I get Gary to do all the work in my basses now, not only is he a gent and his work great but there’s a Pie & Mash Shop just down the road😃 Also added a Hipshot 3-way string tree to save the sometimes pesky A string rattle. First outing for this bass tomorrow night, will be the first time I’ll have used it with the band but sometimes you just have a sense of confidence in an instrument and I have that with this one.1 point

Tech21 VT bass or VT bass deluxe does an SVT emulation that may do the trick - not muddy at all with my P.1 point

This is a tough decision but here’s my ‘08 CV P bass, I believe this was the first run of the model. Its in excellent condition, a couple of marks on the side of the body and some discolouration where the bridge cover once sat. The pick guard still has the plastic covering on it. This is one of the nicest P basses I’ve ever played and it delivers the classic sound with the TI flats that are currently installed. The original wiring loom has been replaced for KiOGon solderless however I’ll include the original along with the original bridge cover. Collection in Cardiff preferred as I don’t have a case or a box for this bass at present.1 point -
