Bump for reduced price

That's pretty

Open to offers.

Wow. If I had the money...

what sort of thing are you after, trade-wise?

Okay, here it is, re-advertised.
I emailed them, late May. I see it's not up as an Ibanez any more.

Gumtree?

I think everyone is skint. I know I am, otherwise I'd have had a look. I'm close enough to collect, as well.

Bump

Human League, 'Being Boiled'.
Snakefarm, 'St James'. (Yeah I know, trad arr.)
Public Image Limited, 'Public Image'.

Part of the difficulty with stuff that's not sung in English is that you're never sure whether you're listening to something like the Horst Wessel Song.

Exactly. I'd love it, but I'm four hours away.

no personal interest

Also saw Steve Hillage in Sheffield, 1979 or '80, instead of going to see the Ruts who were on the same night. TBH I should have gone to see the Ruts... I went to sleep in the gig
(completely without chemical enhancement, I should add... )

I saw them on that tour, 1978? In a deconsecrated church somewhere near Salisbury. They were excellent. IIRC the guy who drove us knew their bass player. Their road manager (?) was a bloke called Grant Showbiz, whose name pops up on other stuff every now and then.

I still love Godbluff and play it fairly often. Can't really pick a favourite track these days but as an impressionable tenager I think Scorched Earth was probably the one that stood out the most:

That's the standout for me, even now. (I always thought - and still think - it was about Richard Nixon, FWIW. 1975 album; it was probably easier to see then.)

Been a fan for a long time.
It was the segue from "Undercover Man" into "Scorched Earth", on 'Godbluff', which first trapped me. Guy Evans, what a great drummer.
And Peter Hammill's solo stuff is up there with the best of them. 'Sitting Targets' is a hugely underrated album.

I always sort of thought VdGG were an interesting version of Genesis, who I found very bland and noodly.

Ahhh, lightbulb
Thanks!

I'd be a bit unsure of any dealer who thinks a Czech bass is 100 years old, given Czechoslovakia didn't exist till 1918

Bump for sunshine

What's the cavity and cover on the back of the upper bout? N00b question, I expect, but if I don't ask...

Pretty sure it's a righty...

.... as well as a wrongy.

Sorry, should have looked a little more carefully

I recently got my cello back in working order after many years in bits. I have to tune it in fourths, I can't do fifths any more
I have to say, it makes me wonder if taking up bass guitar was a good move.
