  1. Up for sale is my beautiful S Cut Mayones Caledonius. It is in immaculate condition, not one ding or mark on it. It plays beautifully and has a wide range of wonderful tones. It has a 34.25" scale neck and has fret markers added by the Bass Gallery in London. It is active/passive and when in active mode is powered at 18 volts. Aquilera Pick ups. The cut away neck provides incredible access to upper tones. Any questions please PM me.
  2. Hi Anth, Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I must improve my I.T skills Very best wishes Paul h

  4. Have PM'd you. 

  5. Fab playing from all, what an incredible flautist....... open hole flute. incredible playing.
  6. A simple 12 bar written for my Nephew James (Bindy) Hornsby
  7. Hi Ben, Thanks for posting this. It's simply beautiful, so musical. Your phrasing is wonderful. Importantly for me it shows how JS Bach's music transcends so many barriers. Have you come across the amazing American musician Chris Thile? He's a mandolinist with roots in authentic American Folk/country music. In case you haven't here are two links to playing Bach. In one instance a Brandenburg Concerto using Double bass, Mandolin, Guitar and Banjo etc imo it works beautifully also a solo piece for violin played on mandolin. It only goes to show that great music can be performed on instruments that weren't originally meant for as long as it's the hands of a great and sensitive musician. That's certainly what you are. Great playing and fab video. Here are the links to C Thile.
  8. A bit of an outing for my Rob Allen bass during lockdown. I wanted to try out some delays and heavy modulation on Alto sax and flute. Tune is called 'Float. Link is here :
  9. I'm just about to order another set of strings for my Mayones Caledonius (advertised on BC which I'm going to keep now) but re stringing from B-G to E-C. The hope is that the high C will make things a bit more manageable .
  10. I'm self taught, so half of the fun for me is discovering the best technique and choices to enable a fluent performance. I'm not convinced all of my choices are the best so am constantly revisiting to see if other choices enable a better performance. Does that make sense?
  11. Hi Ben, It wouldn't surprise me that you've learnt this from memory. Thanks for the download. It's taken me an age to learn the Bouree No1. Looking forward to seeing the YT video. Very nbest wishes Paul h
  12. Thanks so much for the info Ben, really appreciate it.
  13. Hi Ben, forget the second part of my question. I can see you used a Warwick Streamer. Fab Sound. Also was going to ask about how your 6 string was tuned and what strings you used. Cheers Paul
  14. Hi Ben, forget the second part of my question. I can see you used a Warwick Streamer. Fab Sound.
  15. That's great Ben. Can you send me the You Tube link? What was the bass you played it on? very best wishes Paul h
  16. HI Ben, me again. Are you playing this an octave higher than written so that it sounds at the correct pitch? Either way, your performance is stunning. We had this performed at our wedding by our friend Hugh McDowell the 'cellist with ELO . Your performance is just as beautiful.
  17. Beautiful playing, fantastic technique and so musical. Thanks for the upload. Awesome
