Another price drop - to £90 posted. -
I got into theatre work by hearing that one of the top guys here needed a dep for a show he was doing. Through a mutual acquaintance I got his number, called him up - thankfully getting his voicemail - and said I'd heard he needed a dep and I was up for doing it. He called me back that day, I met him a few days later, read over the parts with him and the MD and that was that. That was in 1998 and it's been a pleasure to know him and to share work for the past 13 years.

A thanks-for-the-bump-andydye bump.

Damn - tempus sure does fugit. Seems like only a few months I was bantering with him about a bass I ended up buying from him. Miss you round here Si.

Hello and welcome. What's the nice little preamp you have? Gotta love those Acoustic Image SA's. Wish I had picked one up when they were out. And I'm loving the Guild hollwbody bass too. Nice. Great place Hamburg - and Germany in general. I've a lovely 6 week tour there coming up soon. Pretty sure I'll be nearby Hamburg at some point - really must check that out.

Not sure if the Markbass LMK head is voiced the same as the LM3 so this may be irrelevant - but I had an LMK head and an F500, played through the same cabinets over a long period of time. Felt the LMK was far fuller sounding, with more punch, clarity and effortless tone. The F500 took a lot of work to get it sounding anywhere near as sexy as the LMK. Still have the LMK and love it to bits. Replaced the F500 with an F1 - more for fly gigs instead of taking the relatively bigger LMK.

***SOLD*** Wren & Cuff PHAT PHUK B ***SOLD***
Gareth Hughes replied to Gareth Hughes's topic in Effects For Sale
Thanks for that BB3901. Sunday BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
It's Marcus Miller, Willie Weeks and Mark Stevens filling in the other bass tracks on 'Naughty'. Greg Phillinganes plays keyboard bass on two or three tracks and Abraham Laboriel does one track (maybe two) on 'What Cha Gonna Do For Me'. Pretty sure Will Lee only plays on 'Chaka'. But I could always be wrong, and I'm too damn lazy to pull out the cd covers to check

Ah, there's many a morning that's been lifted by the soaring spirit that is 'I'm Every Woman' - with the wonderful Will Lee on bass, and backing vocals. For me, it's one of those songs (and albums) that if it doesn't move you, then you must be dead.

***SOLD*** Wren & Cuff PHAT PHUK B ***SOLD***

Humpty-Bumpty -
Payment this same as if you were shipping nationally. And same as above - it's a flight case. Wrap it in brown paper if you must, but it's good as it is with some gaffa holding down the locks and big ol' address label taped to the front.

Well, I'm guessing it's £900 hard
-
Ta for that. Look forward to getting stuck into it.

[size=6][b]***SOLD***[/b][/size] Hey Folks - Up for sale is my Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk B that I bought from Dosi Y'Anarchy here about 5/6 weeks ago. In excellent condition and working perfectly. It's a Germanium input stage which handles the dirt and a JFET output stage that handles the volume boost. There's something magical about this pedal that seems to fill in the holes in your sound and give you a very full and rich tone without it sounding like it's EQ'd in any way. Here's a little bit more detail from it's maker: [attachment=86224:W_C.jpg] Price is what I paid 5/6 weeks ago - £100 insured postage, next day special delivery.

Hey Folks - Up for sale is my recently bought EBS MultiDrive that I got from Paul McNamara here about 5/6 weeks ago. It's in mint condition - not a scratch to be seen and it works perfectly. Just not what I was looking for so time to move it on. Selling for[s]£100[/s][b] [s]£95[/s][/b] [b]£90[/b] including Next Day, Insured Special Delivery. [attachment=86223:MultiDrive.jpg]

For subtle, nicely meshed with your original tone kind of overdrive - I'm totally digging my Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk B. It's a little sensitive to the output of your bass - the hotter the bass, the stronger the overdrive. It's subtle which I thought I wouldn't dig, but it's always on and always with me, so it's doing something right. Some good clips on their website.

Price drop to £125 posted bump.

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='1320823' date='Jul 29 2011, 08:46 PM']I have one of these and it's a great filter. I don't use it that much, but hang onto it in the hope that one day I can play as funky as Spencer![/quote] Thanks for the bump Danny. Spencer sure has some funky bass faces going on.

Hey Folks - up for sale is my 3Leaf Audio Proton. It's a few months old, in mint condition and only gigged about three times. I've my eye on something else so this must go. Brand new they're £165 plus shipping. As this is as mint as a minty mint sucking Trebor XXX mints I'm asking for [s]£135 [/s] £125 posted next day special delivery. [attachment=85905:Proton.jpg] Here's what it does:

Funnily enough I had the same reaction when I broke the neck of a double bass once (tho not onstage, mine took a leap down a flight of stairs). I didn't even get annoyed - just resigned myself to the repair and smiled. Very strange to see a bass body without the bridge and tailpiece on. Just wrong. I don't know why I didn't freak out - maybe it's just inevitable with an upright.

As long as you follow it with '....or I'll have your knees done' you'll be fine. On a tangent derail - I'll be in Edinburgh soon with Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club, on August 10th. Don't know the name of the venue yet but if you hear another Nordie accent kicking around it may well be me.

Eko B4 fretless acoustic bass with new K&K p/u and Warwick gigbag
Gareth Hughes replied to Clarky's topic in Basses For Sale
Damn that Irish Sea!!! If it weren't for the fragility of such a pretty thing I'd say 'Box the thing and to hell with the odds!!!' but that would be foolish. And make me sound like I was in Blackadder Goes Forth. Ergo - BUMP!!!! -
You rock (in a classical sort of way of course) Thanks for this.

Anthony Jackson was her mentor for a few years (and may well still be). I sincerely doubt Anthony could care less who her partner is or would waste a second on someone he didn't believe in. Like or dislike the music/the playing - that's fine. Make statements that she's only successful because of who she is romantically attached to - that's pathetic.
