So, played the Farmyard Party at the weekend - pics above on @casapete's post a couple of pages ago. The Friday was very hot and sticky. As we were staying over, I had to put up a large tent pretty much on my own (the missus is recovering from an operation on her hands) in rock hard ground - hence me managing to look sweaty, pasty and sunburnt all at the same time in the picture of me and Pete above. Great to meet Pete before the gig - I was obviously pretty busy trying to get everything ready for our show, so I only managed to see a couple of songs from his band, but he is obviously a very tidy bass player. There was a bit of a groan from backstage as they played a song on our setlist, but fortunately that seemed to be the only one, so we managed to avoid too many duplicate songs! The gig itself was a bit hit and miss. We had a (very good) dep guitarist and it had been sounding brilliant in the three rehearsals we managed to get in before. However, live there were a few adventures starting and (particularly) ending songs and a fair few missed cues. Endings became a bit of a negotiation between me, the guitarist and the drummer, with the poor keyboard player trying to work out what was happening from the other side of the stage! However, we got a pretty good audience reaction and had a lot of very positive feedback after the show (with a couple of gig offers thrown in), so it can't have been too bad - amazing what you can get away without the audience noticing when playing live sometimes! Gear wise, I was using the 78 P bass and the usual set-up of a Shure GLXD wireless, Thumpinator, Cali76 bass comp and Caveman pre into a Handbox R400 and Berg CN212 cab.13 points

Up for sale today is my jazz bass, built by dan of dg relics. The bass was built to my spec, with allparts body and neck, sprayed sunburst and then seafoam over the top and then relic'd to look like a bass i saw online. Headstock in matching seafoam, with fender jazz decals that were a custom print job in all gold. Fretboard is ebony to get that old worn look and looks great. It has hipshot ultralite tuners that are aged, aguilar 70s pickups, and a john east preamp. The neck is jazz nut with a fairly thick neck profile, slightly thicker than my 74 jazz. Strung with ti flats by ernie ball. Wilkinson bridge under the cover. It plays well, but could do with a setup, it cost around £1200 to build. Its such a cool bas and barely touched since built, it just doesn't get played now i have my 74 jazz. I really want an old p bass so I would trade for one. Up or down. Photos are from dan himself and shows the build in all its glory.8 points -
2024 ebony/black special edition bass that I imported from Spain, was a real bargain before I had to pay the duties! I had it reworked by Indra Guitars, a luthier who specialises in ageing, etching, engraving, and generally crafting offbeat wonders. The short scale (30") bass is fairly stock apart from flattened paint, a bit of hidden routing to lose 500g and obviously the lollipop machine heads are irresistible. The MFD pickup is absurdly epic, with the even hotter option on the OMG switch (if you want to blow the bloody door off). The crows are taken from real pictures I took in India. (I'm a photographer). Courier at cost, possible trade8 points -

Did a forum search for this guy and there was no threads for his music, so I thought i'd share, he gets a watch a few times a month from me. Really lovely playing, and great band to boot.7 points

Due to a bit of a musical retirement on my part, band imploded (as they do), I am going back to a couple of basses and a basic gig rig for the odd gig, so I am putting this up at a bargain price. This is an instrument of incredible quality, it is in pretty much as new condition, with original hard case and original tool kit etc... I bought this off Mikey D and it is testament to how he looks after his basses. I cannot stress how professional this bass is, it plays beautifully, sounds gorgeous, and if I could justify keeping it I would, but I am putting money into an old hobby of mine, Motorcycles. I am offering this for a lot less than I paid for it, and a whole lot less than it is worth, but would rather iot stayed within the community. Made in Japan Body: Alder w/ ash top and back Finish: Transparent Orange Bridge: Tight-End Bass 5 (18mm string spacing) Knob style: B20 (volume & balancer) & B15 (3-way EQ) plastic knobs Hardware color: Cosmo black Neck: Grooveline-5 Neck material: 5-piece wenge/ bubinga w/ KTS titanium rods Scale length: 34" Fingerboard material: Rosewood Frets: 22 / medium (Prestige edge treatment) Nut: GraphTech Black TUSQ XL (45mm) Machine heads: Gotoh GB530 Pickups: CAP Sonic Arch5 bridge and neck passive Electronics: Ibanez E5 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch Controls: Master volume / balancer / EQ toggle / 3-way EQ: treble, mid, bass The G105 was discontinued in 2015 along with the entire Grooveline series.7 points -
You might have a different perspective on this if you have had your designs appropriated from confidential documentation that was passed on to a competitor against your will. I have, it took money out of my pocket and the companies that produced those products. This may explain our different perspectives. Most modern designs are pretty difficult to reverse engineer without spending considerable effort and cost of doing so. Documentation reduces this cost to do so. Many companies do not release documentation for this reason alone.5 points

Bought very recently on the forum, gigged on Sunday (pic attached) and its just too heavy for my neck/back - had significant discomfort after the gig even though its only about 9 pounds. My other basses are c.8 pounds or less and that is what I will have to stick to going forward as my neck condition is not going to improve. Robert's ad below sets out the details - its one of the first Japanese runs - stub of neck dates it to 2001 - and with some upgrades (eg noiseless pickups). The negatives for full disclosure are that the Hipshot A tuner has a bit of play (it holds tune and works but the first bit of a turn does nothing; worked fine for me at gig but can be replaced at about £30 if it bothers you) and it was routed for a battery pack at the rear (at one stage it had a John East preamp, its now all passive again), not that anyone would ever see this. I have swapped out white scratchplate (which I still have) for a black one, so you have the choice. What else? Wearing new DR Pure Blues 40-100 nickel rounds and comes with 90s style Fender hard case. Usual gen from me - delivery by economy courier for £20 on top or collect in safe public space near me in Barnes, London SW13 (usually Barnes station car park). Passing on at the price I paid which is a bargain FS ad on BassChat:4 points -
I couldn’t have written that better myself. That’s my philosophy exactly. All of my basses get played out because I love playing all of them and I’ve always taken good care of them as you have. For example, this was my gigging set up for a decade playing in pub, function and wedding bands… Never had a qualm about taking my Wals out and they never had any mishaps with due care and attention. OK, for an open air gig in dodgy weather I might take my Frankenjazz instead, or I might take it just coz I fancy playing it. My most sentimental bass is my Aria SB700 - my first bass bought new as an 18th birthday pressie by my Mum and Dad. I’ll never part with it but, again, I’ll happily play it out (like at this 80s theme night from last year…)4 points

Here i have for sale a well gigged but utterly reliable powerhouse of a cab. These come with wheels and trolley like handle for easy moving and loading. This has done over 100 gigs so has dinted especially in the bottom edges (i have gaffered these to protect them but full disclosure it seen some life). I'll redo the taping for sale i have decent black gaffa tape to tidy it up. Everything sounds great and is ready to go. I had two of these and broke the wheel on one, so have spares that will come with the sale, even though the ones on this one are the originals. Tech spec.. Number of speakers 8 Speaker diameter 5 inches RMS capacity in watts 750 - 999 W Built-in tweeter not needed Speaker output impedance 8 Ohms Stereo function no Bass reflex port yes Wheels yes Colour black Weight about 26 Kg Neutrik style connectors Has feet on two sides to can be set up tall like the pics or low if part of a stack for example. This is a pro level cab, can handle the bigger amps, not the lightest by a good size, will go into a small hatchback no problem. (it even fits into the boot of a Bmw Z4!) The handle and wheels whilst shopping trolly-esque is great for loading and unloading. Bearing mind its roadworn nature i have priced it to sell or trade at £275. Cheapest i can find online is £695 so a bargain to be had. I can ship at buyers cost but would prefer pickup or meetup.3 points -

Absolutely, Nate Mendel's Lakland P gets used for every Fu Fighters gig I play ( Rockprest on Sunday ) and the '79 Bicentennial T Bird and the 74 Rippers do the Nirvana gigs ( A local music boozer in Newcastle on Friday ) . No point having them if you don't use them for their purpose.3 points

Now £430! Here's my Markbass cab up for sale. It is in near new condition and includes a Roqsolid cover. The top carpet has a couple of indents where the amp was placed on it. Other than that minor sign of normal use it's as new. It has been used several times at rehearsal at very low volume levels and at one gig where it was only used as a monitor as I was going through the PA. It is a great cab. A real one cab solution weighing approximately 18Kg or 40lbs. I'm 70, under 11 stone, have osteoporosis and have suffered a spinal fracture and I'm happy to lug it around. Specs briefly are 2 x 12" ceramic speakers 600 watts Piezo switchable tweeter with 2 levels of attenuation 57.8 x 60 x 47 cm https://www.markbass.it/product/mb58r-122-p-4/ Tone is very Markbass, i.e. effective. Collection or meet up only. I'm in Kendal, Lake District, NW England.3 points -

Phew! Just made it in time. The playing and mix are a bit rough but it's kind of pop punk so I'm not too bothered. This is 'Aliens in the sky' by Jinky Fuzz. The bass is one of my daphne blue Fender JMJ mustang basses and there are two guitars - my Pelham blue Harley Benton DC-Junior FAT which has tone knob pulled out to put the single stacked P90 in humbucker mode, and my black Fender Telecaster custom switched to the wide-range humbucker pickup in the neck position. Both guitars were recorded from the usb output of my Fender GTX100 amp using a patch emulating a mesa/boogie IIc+ with a Boss DS-1. The organ is my Yamaha Reface YC. All the processing etc used logic's stock plugins.3 points

HeadRush Core (v4.0.0) almost new with a new M-Audio EX-P Expression Pedal, a new Acrylic Protector, a new Thomann Producer Backpack and all the cables needed plus all printed manuals and original box. Everything is as new and was bought for the now defunct bass duet (S.B.K. presets you can see). There is a very tiny surface scratch on the screen, but it's almost impossible to photograph and doesn't impact its use at all. The new price of the whole is exactly €829.65 EUR (around £707) and can be yours for €550 EUR (around £470 GBP) shipping included in the countries listed below. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding overseas territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €550 EUR (£470 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just ask. In perfect working order and in as new condition, except for that very tiny surface scratch on the screen. See the website for the specifications: https://www.headrushfx.com/products/core/index.html What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition. Here is the link to the 40 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iiDRxJ9yh10nvvipC_s8R3M7DL3clTRi?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury, without mentioning a painful tendonitis on the right arm, I'm selling all the items I'm not using like this one. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more details, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

I’ve been doing a blues jam in my favourite downtown dive for close to 28 years now. We have a good number of regulars but one never knows who or what might come in the door. It’s been said a good Sunday will have both extremes , some misery , and some magic too. Last week was no exception. Part of my Monday is always looking up songs I might not have been familiar with the night before. The harp player runs the night and is good at changing up grooves and things on the fly. If things get loud he’s quick to bring things down. Volume is rarely an issue except when full bands are sitting in. Funny how quickly that can happen.2 points

Not so much intimidated but my reputation, especially going forward in bass building and if I potentially want to make this in the next few years post Police (don’t hate me) retirement option, it is really important to me. This is especially when it comes to asking people to part with their hard earned cash. It doesn’t matter to me that in the grand scheme of bass prices, this is right at the bottom end of the scale. I have applied 2 tests to myself over the last 25 years of public service. The “my mum” test and the “mirror test”; “Have I treated others how I want my mum to be treated?” and “Can I look myself in the mirror at the end of the day and genuinely say that I did my best today whether I won or lost?” So as of today and coming up for a week after the last contact about issue, I have had no further contact from the buyer. I left the ball in their court to let me know when was convenient for them to let me have the bass to look at and that I would turn it around for collection by the next day after that.2 points

Here we have for sale my Bitsa PJ. Made up of the following parts: Fender CIJ maple precision neck. Serial number dates it to 1993-1994. Squier standard series PJ body in metallic black. Seymour Duncan SPB-3, Alan entwistle JBXN, wired to a Kiogon VVT solderless loom which has a series / parallel pushpull on the tone knob. Wilkinson black/brass bridge and Wilkinson black tuners. Fender gold anodised scratch plate. Prefer to sell this as a complete Bass but may part it out if it doesn’t shift. I’m in no rush! No case as it stands but I can probably find something if it would sweeten the deal for the buyer. Based in the Bridgend area of South Wales and would rather not ship, but I’m willing to discuss delivery / meet up within a reasonable distance. Not looking for trades at the moment, shifting a few things to raise funds for a special upcoming birthday!2 points -

True, one of my big problems with gigging in general is it relies on other people. And we all know drummers tend to be the clumsy ones. I took best instrument to mean most expensive, at least for me they’re the same thing. Mine is an Overwater fretless J4.2 points

This is pretty tame sauce compared to what goes on on social media. I just read through it and to be honest I think most of it was pretty relaxed. I think you're making a bit too much of it - don't be precious. If you ignore your hurt feelings and actually read the thread, you'll find advice in here - for instance you'd get a better price if you redid the covering. How is that negative? Here's some direct negativity for you - I think the cab looks bloody awful. So what? What of it? Why do you care what I think? If you like it, you're not wrong.2 points

I think that normal use damage / wear and tear and the odd accident are unavoidable for just about everything. Even for a sitting down jazz performance at some point a music stand is going to get bumped into an instrument, or the player themselves is going to stand up and collide with something. I gave up worrying about that sort of thing years ago as it was limiting my enjoyment of my instruments. I do my best to minimise damage of course, but some things are just unavoidable even if just playing at home.2 points

Nothing so grand as a festival for The Rebbels, our first outing as a four piece at Christchurch Con Club, Saturday. We have had no rehearsals for 8 weeks, and so I am a tad nervous, but that is what makes it fun! The lead guitarist and I are having a get-together tomorrow to work on beginnings and endings and other fun stuff, so I may feel better or worse by tea time.2 points
