  1. [quote name='Bilbo' post='1345436' date='Aug 19 2011, 01:47 PM']I pride myself on my shut downs. Quickest from last note to fully loaded car is 4 minutes (the stage/my set up was in front of some French doors and my car was right outside). Set up i snormalyy 15 minutes max (no rigs or lights )[/quote] Brilliant! i take longer because I chat too much!
  2. Surfed into this thread - stayed for the full 45 mins!
  3. [quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1301771' date='Jul 13 2011, 12:00 AM']Les Claypool is sure to get a shout before too long! (though he is famous fo using a fretless 6 string, his favourite bass was his 4 string fretted!) Steve DiGiorgio as well, Juan Alderete has used a fretless jazz bass in and out with the mars volta, Gary Willis jumps to mind (Tribal tech), as does Jonas Hellborg, Jack Bruce, Bill Wyman from the older Rolling Stones stuff, Tony Levin, Jeroen Paul Thesseling (from Obscura) and Colin Edwin from Porcupine tree Are all the ones i can think off (which is MANY more than i thought i knew! tempted by a fretless now! haha) Mostly rocky/heavier people there [/quote] Thanks for that. Didn't realise Mr Wyman used fretless back then. Some familiar names and some I haven't heard before. Cheers for that!
  4. Was reading some threads about fretless stuff then thought I need to be enlightened to some more fretless players. My usual fretless listening artists are the likes of; Jaco Pino Paladino Percy Jones Barbara Thompsons bassist (Paraphanalia era) Miick Khan Talk talk Jeff beck's bassist from "wired" Kate bush ( some of her earlier stuff) and a few more... I'm sure there's more great players out there I haven't heard yet so let me know! . Hey, maybe we should have a separate fretless area on BC too?
  5. I used work making stained glass windows. I used to have cuts on the tips of my fingers at times. The best remedy by far was superglue. Was too painful sliding up a sweaty strings at gigs without it.
  6. Love playing fretless. I tend to gig with mine a lot. Have found some guitarists dislike me playing it at gigs and found others who moan if I don't bring it to a gig. It does put a smile on my face when you show up at a jam night, nobody asks to play your bass.
  7. It's now on the auction site......

  9. [quote name='Bass Awkward' post='1258115' date='Jun 6 2011, 09:58 AM']Whitstable's a lovely little town. If this was next year, I'd say - go along and visit/play the Biennale too! As it is, the place is worth a day out. If I lived in Manchester, I'd hire a van and make a weekend of it. Book a gig in London for the slower end of festival season! Do Glastonbury and take a huge detour! So a free bump for being in a nice town.. It's not that far from London, either, for goodness sake![/quote] Thanks for that. Can't complain there's lots of musical activity round this way and it keeps me busy ( Including Faversham - Cheers Waynepunkdude). Maybe we should start a new thread - Bassists days out? If I can get the cab in the car I'll consider a halfway drive if it helps. Not one swap offer either! Cheers Tim.
  10. Bump it up! Last bump before the "EB" auction site. Open to trades/ px's etc.
  11. Suprised it hasn't found a new home yet! Last bump before the evilbay ad! You could tempt me with trades / px / cold cash!
  12. [quote name='Sparky Mark' post='1207701' date='Apr 21 2011, 11:22 PM'][attachment=78125:MAG_Rig.jpg] Here it is [/quote] Now that's what I call a sweet looking rig!
  13. Mark bought my Ashdown Mag 600 Evo II. Great communicator. A pleasant , smooth transaction. Want to see the picture of the whole rig! Cheers.
  14. Just doing the bump!
  15. Ashdown Mag now gone to a new home!
  16. I heard it's a great place to gig but it has no atmosphere.
  17. [quote name='paul_5' post='1198342' date='Apr 13 2011, 03:59 PM']Dagnamit, why don't you live in North Manchester?[/quote] Well, somebody has to keep it low in sunny Whitstable!
  18. [quote name='Wooks79' post='1198337' date='Apr 13 2011, 03:53 PM']I would have jumped at this if you were nearer! I'm on the look out for a nicely priced 8x10 or 6x10! Best of luck with it [/quote] Thanks Wooks!
  19. I have decided to sell my Hartke VX 810. This served me well in a couple of bands I was in when I had to shift some air. Also have aquired a GK rig so this isn't getting used. This is a 800 watt 4 ohm cab. Looking for £280 ono. This will have to be collected from Whitstable, Kent.

  20. Here we have My Asdown Mag 600 Evo II for sale. I was using this with an 8x10 cab in a couple of bands when I needed to shift lots of air but now I'm no longer in those two bands. I have also recently aquired a GK rig so this amp head is now surplus. It's in Mint condition. Looking for £195 ono. Would prefer a local pickup from Whitstable Kent.

  21. It's time to let my combo go. Initially I bought it because my main amp let me down. Then I discovered Mark Bass so this combo was left unused under the stairs. It's seen no more than 14 gigs. Does have a scuff on the back where it caught on a protruding boot catch. All Buttons, Sliders and pots intact. Would prefer collection for this but could travel if not too far. Looking for £300 ono. I'm based in Sunny Whitstable in Kent.

  22. Its now time to find this bass a new home. I originally got it when I was playing in a brass band being seated in between a baritone sax player and a tuba player. Have now got involved with other bands and it hardly gets plucked these days. - Solid Californian Maple neck-through-body construction - 24 fret full 2 octave Rosewood fingerboard - Steinberger® licensed headless DB detunable bridge - Two Select by EMG® J-style pickups - Active tone controls - Active on/off switch with LED - Two volume and one concentric active tone control - Two-way adjustable truss rod - Fold-out leg rest Also comes with gig bag. Very good condition except for two small scatch marks on back of body. Looking for £350. I am open to swaps providing it's something on my wanted list!

  23. Ooh what a question. There's many great fretless players out there.
