  1. [quote name='bassfan' post='1301751' date='Jul 12 2011, 11:37 PM']Hi all, Does anyone know anything about shergold basses. I know they are no longer made. Hand made in the uk. Are they any good? Let me have your knowledge.... [/quote] Yep they're good. I got two custom doubles, one a 12/4 and the other a 4/8. Pros: Modular electronics on some models, zero fret, instant 70s rock sound. Cons: the finish is prone to cracking, good luck finding spares. The website mentioned earlier is pretty cool, and you'll see me on there
  2. [quote name='oldslapper' post='1301080' date='Jul 12 2011, 02:32 PM']This looks like a Bassix, from the neck in particular.[/quote] And from the blurb on his blog
  3. Some new tickets have been released: [url="http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=433037&referral_id=twitter"]clicky[/url]
  4. Hello - a friend is selling his upright bass banjo. See [url="http://bit.ly/bass-banjo-for-sale"]his blog[/url] for more info, pictures and contact details. Asking price £995.00
  5. And £1242 for the amp. Grand total of £8617.55 for all [url="http://completed.shop.ebay.co.uk/markking4beaulieuhouse/m.html?rt=nc&LH_Complete=1&_fln=1&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3911.c0.m283"]four items[/url] - good work that man. More like him pls.
  6. Can the charge-back be avoided by transferring the fund out of your paypal account before releasing the goods?
  7. Or try DGCF tuning. It makes more sense than DADG.
  8. Someone somewhere should start making a range of Gefilter-branded bass hardware. It'll sell like hot sausages.
  9. The fill at 1m03s makes me have a little sexy moment with myself
  10. [quote name='charic' post='1288812' date='Jul 1 2011, 11:29 AM']Not a DT fan I guess [/quote] Not since Awake (apart from that time they did all of The Number of The Beast at the Astoria)
  11. Some of them are among the "without whom" I'd never have picked up the instrument in the first place: Geddy, Jack Bruce, JPJ, John Entwistle (missing are Tony Levin, Chris Squire). Have come to love PMac, Victa and Jaco since. I should really like Les Claypool but don't get it. (My Primus ticket is on eBay if anyone's interested). Flea, Cliff... not my thing either.
  12. Zzzz Nothing new to see here, move along pls.
  13. [quote name='Delberthot' post='1284976' date='Jun 28 2011, 09:24 AM']Maggie Thatcher's handbag went for £20000 and she was the spawn of Beelzebub so imagine how much this will go for[/quote] Doesn't stay in tune though I'd wager the bass goes for close to £10k
  14. Here's all four sales - [url="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/markking4beaulieuhouse/m.html"]Mark King on eBay[/url] The bass is already £3k+
  15. [quote name='Monckyman' post='1283508' date='Jun 26 2011, 11:12 PM']Ok Coldplay Janelle, beyonce ... ultra yawn. Queens of the Stone Age. Nuff said.[/quote] Watching it now. Brilliant. [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/glastonbury/2011/artists/queensofthestoneage/"]BBC QotSA stream[/url]
  16. Bakithi Kumalo's Zon. "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes" was untouchable
  17. [quote name='spongebob' post='1281236' date='Jun 24 2011, 04:59 PM']What I really like is that this is the first I've heard of it - how many people make a massive PR song and dance when doing such a thing?[/quote] Maybe not enough PR in this case! I've stuck it on the Bass Player magazine facebook feed.
  18. Mark King's selling off some gear for charity - have a look at the youtube vid
  19. [quote name='silddx' post='1280587' date='Jun 24 2011, 09:53 AM']It's the only place to go in London.[/quote] Except the London branch of GuitarGuitar in Epsom of course
  20. [quote name='Harry' post='1280501' date='Jun 24 2011, 08:12 AM']try The bass Gallery in Camdan town all the details are on their web site [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/[/url][/quote] Not much more to say than this. Good selection of basses and friendly, helpful staff.
  21. If you've already got some bathroom scales, use those. Weigh yourself, then weigh yourself plus suitcase/bass/etc. One minus the other = postage/baggage allowance.
  22. [quote name='Marvin' post='1277417' date='Jun 21 2011, 06:00 PM']This thread has baffled me, I can't work out what on earth is going on.[/quote] Someone once teased Bilbo for liking clever music.
  23. [quote name='Bankai' post='1276167' date='Jun 20 2011, 06:16 PM']Time to come in store then But I'll pass your comment on as well![/quote] Thanks! Next time I leave London for "London" I'll be sure to stop by
  24. Good website, lots of interesting stock. All it needs is a "Show all" clicky... "Bass Guitars 1 to 24 of a total of 328 Bass Guitars Page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NEXT" Good for searching. Rubbish for browsing.
