  1. £1200 ono Beautiful Maruszczyk Elwood L 5a 24 for sale. Super lightweight active jazz bass with a huge array of tones and a really low action without any buzzing and a lovely neck that makes this such a comfortable instrument to play. Purchased brand new from Bass Direct in 2016. I played it a fair bit in the first year and then changed bands for one where a beat up P bass was far more appropriate and this has largely sat in its bag ever since. It has a couple of minor dinks (all in photos) but is generally in great shape and sounds massive with both pickups in parallel mode. Just 3.66kg it has an alder body with a maple burl top and matching headstock in natural matte finish. The neck is hard rock maple with a birds eye maple fingerboard. Hardware as follows: - Pickups - Bassculture 38 HB Humbuckers with maple burl covers - Preamp - 3 band delano with 3 way mini switch for each pickup (series/single coil/parallel). - Bridge - Maruszczyk E45 - 18mm string spacing - Tuners - Wilkinson Currently strung with pretty much brand new Elixir Stainless Steel but also comes with the original Maruszczyk strings. Comes in the original Maruszczyk gig bag with all the original certificates and documentation. Collection from South Northamptonshire (near Towcester which is on the A43 halfway between J15a of M1 and J10 of M40) where I have a quality amp and cab that you can plug into. I gig quite a lot accross the country so may be able to meet up somewhere. I am absolutely not prepared to post this I'm afraid. Thanks for looking.

  3. Swindon. Nuff said. VID-20240302-WA0002.mp4
  4. Google calendar. Simple, free and you can sync various accounts so nobody can say they didn't realise a gig was going to clash with their flat earth convention.
  5. I guess we all have a different perception of what is old. My father is still a really active harmonica player and the youngest in both of his current regular bands at 84. He does a total of about 80 gigs a year and when I showed him this thread he was shocked that anyone feels like slowing down at a mere 68. Conversely, my father in law is 78 and really does see his retirement as "just waiting for the end to come". He's utterly pathetic and talks himself out of even being able to drive a car because he's too old.
  6. I can only say positive things about my experience with Lugs. I started out with UE6s bought from Custom Iem Company and was very happy with them. After a couple of years they suddenly started sounding awful. All the bottom end had gone and I was having to drive them into distortion just to be able to hear them. I considered buying Lugs 6 driver model so contacted Robert. I explained the issue I had with my UE6s and he suggested that my ear shape had probably changed a bit making it so I was no longer getting a good seal. He offered to test them to check all was working inside and confirmed all components were functioning properly. I got my ear impressions redone by a local Audiologist (anyone in Northamptonshire I can highly recommend The Ear Place in towcester) and sent them to Robert at Lugs. Within a week he had reshelled my UE6s and now they sound better than they ever did. Saved me a fortune in buying new ones and have done probably 100+ gigs since with nothing but excellent sound. I sing a lot too and have never had any issues.
  7. I mean, if the money's good then do what they want but thats pretty much a guaranteed way of playing to a half empty dancefloor. You'll have to start from scratch 5 times and as soon as you get them going you'll be saying "this is our last song before we take a 30min break". Sounds like a landlord who doesn't really have much experience of how itll work.
  8. Xmas staff do for a haulage company last night at the M1 Junction 23 truck stop nr Loughborough. Entering the venue was like stepping back in time to the 1970s but a good bunch of people and a very easy gig.
  9. Played under Concord last Friday for a Xmas bash.. Not all companies are struggling. £250k budget for the staff party.
  10. I'm inclined to say it won't be enough. The thought of wringing everything out of a pair of Behringer active cabs, to get both vocals and keys heard, over the top of acoustic drums in a room like that would not fill me with joy. Any option to hire?
  11. Just bought an amp head from Jim. Top quality comms from start to finish and lightning quick postage. Amp came packaged perfectly and in tip top condition. Hope to deal with him again. Great BC'er and a pleasure to deal with.

  13. That's proper customer service and really it should be the norm. Sadly it seems, more often than not, to be the exception.
  14. John East is one of the nicest companies to deal with. John is a true gentleman and responds quickly to all enquiries and, as many of us know, his products are ace. I'm fortunate to live relatively close to his HQ and have popped in a couple of times over the years. He happily fitted my pre for me while I waited. My biggest service gripe is when I pop into music shops and the person serving me is so distracted that they barely look me in the eye and they make me feel like I'm just an inconvenience that they're only happy to serve because it will get rid of me quicker.
