  1. Good advice at the start of the Nile Rogers programme on BBC4 on Friday, which was along the lines of: Make sure you enjoy what you do, because at some point you will experience failure
  2. Soundcraft Gigrac mixer and 2 x 500w amplifier. This has just been sitting around for around seven years. I got it checked out/serviced by an electrician at that time, and now all channels/effects are in good working order. Haven't used it in 'anger', though, so can't vouch for how loud it is etc. Dimensions are 20" x 14" x 10". Looking for £50.

However, I would be happy to meet up within a reasonable distance (I am based in North Essex).[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pic below.[/font][/color]
  3. Just sold my Precision to Alberto. Great guy to deal with - prompt communication and payment, and he also arranged the shipping to Spain. A pleasure. Enjoy the bass Alberto!
  4. Dweezil Zappa at the South Bank on 10 October!

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Unfortunately, it is still not being used so it's time to move it on. I'm looking for £150.

  6. It seems that I have recently given up bass playing, as I now just play on the configurator! Getting ready to pull the trigger, but I have a query about the zero fret - does anyone use one of these basses with a Hipshot D-tuner? Is it OK?
  7. Thanks Karl I did think about holding on to the bridge. They're like hen's teeth these days!

  9. Dimensions 30” x 19” x 2.75” Looking for £25. The larger version of the Gramma pad. Apparently this is the Joe Bonamassa signature model... One or two minor knocks, but overall in VG condition. Collection preferred (I am based in North Essex), or buyer to arrange shipping. Pic below.
  10. This has been gathering dust for a few years. You will see from the pics that it has ‘mojo’. However, it is playable and the preamp is in good order. Looking for £40! Collection preferred, or buyer to arrange shipping. No trades please. Pics below.

  12. Wow +1 I have never heard of this band before. Will definitely check some more out. (The percussionist does look like the spare prick at a wedding though).
  13. This sounds like good material for Dave Vader's next book.
  14. Most cool. Can anyone beat that? I know I can't.
  15. I have played it as G A G for years. This thread did have me doubting whether that was correct, but on balance I think that I'll stick with it.
  16. Probably a frequent stop on musical journeys, but I wouldn't say it was up there with death and taxes.
