    Forgot to add this one from HRH Tenerife. On close inspection this Stingray looked completely knackered. The saddles were all at different heights and there were chunks missing out of the fretboard. It is also kept in a glass fronted cabinet which gets a proper full on dose of sunshine throughout every morning. Bit of a shame really. There were no basses of note in the HRC Tenerife (different place altogether). There were a few that had been 'signed by', but had no history with the artists named.

    Oh yes, I'm aware of them, it's just they're more than a little bit different from out lot 😀
  3. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Yes, an unfortunate co-incidence 😀

    All the ticket money and donation buckets have been tallied up and we raised just under £5000. Very pleased with that, as are The Lords Taverners.

    Bump.

    Ha ha. Glad it's not just me then. Looks like they're over here March 6/7/8th. I'm gigging on the 6th & 7th, so looks like it will have to be the 8th for me if I'm going.

    Excellent. Definitely up for that.

    Yes, that's the one I've bought. £2 on eBay 👍. Also bought the live album with additional DVD from the end of that tour. Looking forward to watching that. Love a good road documentary. EDIT: Yes, would love to hear/see that recording.
  9. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Yes indeed. Very cool thing to have been able to do. How on earth did he swing that?

    I was on holiday in Tenerife a couple of weeks ago and we stayed at The Hard Rock Hotel. I saw a video of a band performing a song that I can't get out of my head. They are called the The Hold Steady and the song was Stuck Between Stations from 2006. I was somewhat bemused as to how I had unintentionally avoided this song/band for such a long time. In fact, none of our group of four had heard of them. They are still going apparently. Any fans of them here? I've bagged a couple of their albums for peanuts off Music Magpie, one of which has the aforementioned single on it.

    Great. Thank you 👍

    Would it be quite easy enough for a competent person (i.e. not me) to do the upgrade if they were to buy this pedal?
  13. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Ha ha. I wouldn’t know how. Seriously, I wouldn’t 😬
  14. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Bump. Reasonable offers considered.

    A couple of months ago I was asked to dep for an 80's hair metal band for a couple of gigs. They do the wigs, tattoo's, pointy guitars - the whole shebang. I happened top see this pop on this very forum at the same time (courtesy of @Bearfist) and thought it would fit the gigs perfectly - and it did. This build would cost well over £2k if ordered today. It's a cracking bass, but something has come up that needs funding, so I need to let a few things go. It was just over a year old when I bought it at the end of October 2019. It's in Sandberg's Hard Core Aged finish, so it does have marks, but they were put there by Sandberg 😀 Ebony fretboard with blocks, maple neck, matching headstock, zero fret, split coil neck pickup and MM style humbucker at the bridge position. 2 band eq with push pull active/passive (treble knob becomes passive tone control) Aged black hardware which is not available in the Sandberg configurator for this model any more, so therefore unusual. Weight 9.24lb's and it is the 34" scale, NOT the 35". Comes with a Sandberg gig bag.

    For sale only - no trades thank you. Future Impact Bass Synthesizer Pedal complete with box and instructions. Barely used. Same old story - a bass has come up which is on my 'wish list' and things that are not bolted down are getting the for sale treatment. I also don't have the technical know how to get anywhere near the best out of this pedal. Apparently it does a thing called MIDI. Pfft. May as well be in Swahili AFAIC 😂 Hopefully this will find an owner who may be able to do it justice. Does has a couple of patches 3M pedal board stickies on the back. I will ship with corresponding patches for attachment. EDIT: Price includes secure shipping within the UK ONLY.

    Bump.

    Kate and her band attacking the title track from her album 'Trophy'. I think that J knows it's been played after that session!

    Thanks mate 👍

    Here’s one from Nice taken earlier this year....
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Another one from the HRH Tenerife. Tim Skold’s double bass. Nice paint job.
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Looks like Wembley ‘86 might be a goer. I shall report back in due course.

    Mrs.HKH and I are staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in Tenerife at the moment and as a regular visitor to Hard Rock establishments, I’m always drawn towards the basses on display. I thought it might be a nice idea to share the basses in cafes/hotels worldwide and what might be known about them. I’ll start with this one which is the first instrument I saw whilst checking in today which is in the main lobby at the HRH Tenerife.

    There is currently a bass in the Marketplace that I am tempted by, so would be prepared to accept sensible offers on this whilst that bass is still available.

    Thanks 👍
