A bit of a contrast to the Al Di Meola/Grusin stuff is Simon and Garfunkel live in Central Park. Gadd and AJ doing the pocket/session thing and showing why they were/are held in such high regard. 
 

Holy grail!!!

I’m late to the pedal board game but have already gone through a few iterations since it was assembled by an amazing guitarist friend. 
I won’t change this for sometime as it doesn’t need to do too much- a little bit of something for all occasions but nothing too leftfield. 
It’s kind of a generic board in a way- Cali 76, OC2, a bit of DG dirt, HX Stomp and a nice preamp. 
CIOCKS DC7 underneath the board. 

Hi. What year is the bass please?

Wow, what a beauty

No, still available. 

Just sold a Sansamp BDDI to Alex. Quick payment and good comms. 
Sale agreed on Weds night, pedal in his hands on Friday. 
Cheers Alex 👍🏻

NOW SOLD

Rock solid, built like a tank. A few scratches on the bottom when it was used pre-pedalboard but otherwise in great condition.

The staple pedal of so many pedalboards for good reason.

This is the 2nd version with added midrange controls

4 pieces of dual lock on the bottom

Price includes postage to UK addresses.

NOW SOLD

This has been on my pedal board for a few months so has been used but certainly not abused.

A few scratches from the pedalboard plug when it's been packed away I think (note to self- pack the lead separately)

4 small patches of dual lock on the rear.

Postage included to UK addresses.

When I lived in the SW I used to drive down to Exeter for amp repairs. 
I think his name was Jon Godsland. He traded under the name Orchid Electronics. 

PM sent. 

I’m looking for an amp repair and service- I’m based in Worcester. Anyone know if Steve at Musical Electronic Repairs in Brum is still operational? The first post is pretty old now. 
Are there any other recommendations from West Mids players? I found Worcester Amps in Evesham by searching online but would rather a recommendation.

Nowt wrong with a bit of 'approximation' or, indeed, considered omission at the appropriate moment.

"considered omission" 🤣, yes I think it was more a case of that.

Good work, pineweasel! I love Cupid and Psyche ‘85, great songs on there!

The follow-up, Provision, is amazing too. A really natural progression with some amazing tunes on there.

Great work Bilbo and an epic bassline (there aren't many of his that don't have a degree of epic-ness!)

I can remember reading/learning this for a music college performance in the late 80's and...errr.. having to approximate a few runs.

The whole Why Not album is just insanely good!!!

Offers accepted. I have 5 packs available.

Due to constant currency fluctuations the price of these strings change on Amazon regularly- I believe you can get 1 set for £28.56 and 2 sets for £53.54 from the seller I used.

 
Now £45 delivered in the UK.

Hmm I wonder if these would work on a 34" with strings through body 🤔

I wouldn't want to say. If they did work I work keep them 😀

I have a feeling too much of the main string would wrap around the tuning peg.

Hi. They are unopened so I don’t know but I Googled and it seems these are for basses with 36” necks and over.

Wrong

If playing in Eb, then you don't move the  little riff down to the 4th / 3rd etc

The sequence then, for Eb little riff is below :

5th fret on D string, 5th fret on A string, open E string.............. 4th fret D string, 4th fret A string, open E string
The last bit  may be easier to play  A string 5th fret, E string 7th fret, A string 5th fret, A string 7th fret

Your example involves detuning all the strings down a half step. 

My example, as I mentioned, is just detuning the E string a half step to an Eb so the fingerings are correct in that instance. 

Jon always serviced my Eden heads when I lived in the SW. You won’t go wrong with him. 

I can highly recommend buying from or selling to Alex- I bought from him in this instance and he was courteous and accommodating throughout the whole process.
Cheers Alex

These basses are more expensive post-Brexit referendum.
I paid around £320 for my V7 in late 2015. It was a no-brainier at that money. Still competitively priced but less so now. A 5 string PJ will sell well.
