I should’ve kept them both of course but couldn’t resist a gold sparkle Lull p

😂 in hindsight I should have kept the lull and bought the pink one.. 😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Damn, too many beasties I'd like to get my hands on at the moment but I think this is now top of my targets, I kicked myself repeated for about 2 years for letting Walshys grey one of these get away whilst I procrastinated😔

Also, bad donkey bridge!?! Censorship gone mad🤣

I ended up with both the grey and the pink, I much preferred the look of this one though (obviously!).

Censorship definitely won. Should definitely say Bad A S S  😂

Absolutely amazing bass! Played it live lots and it was amazing. I keep asking myself, do I need it back in my life 😂

The answer is of course “yes”… 

just send me down the one I want and I’ll send the Shuker back up! 😉

Buy with confidence people. Great bass and a top guy to deal with. I'd buy it myself if I didn't already have one.

You know you can’t have too many basses! 😂

Ok… so, this is a sale born from GAS. Another bass has popped up that I’d very much like to try and my will power is rubbish so this the only bass I have that I could sell (albeit reluctantly)

This is a straight sale, if the bass I want sells then this will be withdrawn. 
 

This was commissioned by @walshy in 17/18 for a Chillies tribute band and is loosely based on Fleas fender, fender then subsequently released their flea range. It sounds immense and looks very cool 😎

FI and C4.

 

(Boss SY-200 is pretty much like the SY-1 but with presets and other goodies.)

What @Quatschmachersays. 

Where’s @AndyTravis

Lovely. That won’t be around long!! 👍🏻

Why was the thread title changed?  As this is a yearly event, isn't the year an important part of the title?

 

Apologies if that sounded aggro - I'm going through bass cold turkey here, it's bound to make a person tetchy sometimes 

 

You need locking in a dark room! 😂 

I will change it for you…. 😃

Yes, it's really weird that this year is busier than the few years immediately before the Big C.

I'm also getting a fair bit of dep work as well. I'm not quite sure why this is happening, but I have gigs with 3 new bands I've not played with this year, plus some Ska dates.

I have by no means gone out of my way to seek these out, they've just fallen in my lap, so I guess quite a lot of bands are busy. Either that or a lot of bass players have given up gigging 🤷‍♂️

That’s great though! Its obviously reputation 😉

We seem to have a lot more parties this year, I guess people catching up from the last 2 years of staying in.  Started taking bookings for 2024 weddings now. 😃

Love it. Well and truly back into it after covid. Out every week now (except when I’m away in June) until new year! I don’t have to do it. I want to do it. 😃

Fantastic Amps. I love mine. Good luck with the sale 👍🏻

We have the same taste ......in....garden furniture. I have just like that 😆 

😂 haven’t got the matching sun loungers have you. My missus wants one (or a pair). 😂

That’s a very, very good answer! You’ve definitely been paying attention!  ❤️🥰 However, my go to choice is:

 

 

 

Chameleon Flip Paint, the rich colour changing paint that alters as light hits it. Just some of my basses.

+1 on that @Dood

Back to back weddings this weekend, both fantastic, very different and very fun! 😃

Of course, the simple answer is ‘never’  but this thought genuinely occurred to me this afternoon. 
 

I walked into my study and looked at the main wall of hanging basses:

 

Ritter

Stenback

Sadowsky NYC

Sei

Fodera

Alleva Coppolo

63 & 66 Jazz

21 black paisley Jazz

 

In other parts of the house there’s:

64, 78, 87, 93 Precision

82 JV Precision medium scale

70, 86, 07 Jazz

Rickenbacker 4001

2 more Sei

McIntyre based Precision

Warwick Star

Fender Starcaster

Ibanez 824

Various other Japanese Squiers, Aria, Fernandes etc

Oh, and a token Fender Strat and a Novation Bass Station

 

Surely now is the time to stop 🤪

 

 

What Sadowsky NYC do you have Barrie? Has the funky Lakky gone now?

Just bought Marks pedaltrain classic. Lovely easy transaction and like a gentleman he even dropped it off at my mums for me. Pleasure to deal you mate! 👍🏻

Cool. Glad you like it. I knew pretty quickly it wasn’t for me. I prefer the less subtle kind and use the C4/Spectrum/FI for the synthy stuff. 

Do you have a spectrum and a c4? Can you not programme the c4 to do a “spectrum”?
