  1. Hi Woodwind, So sorry I didnt reply until now to thank you for your help and advice! We have been doing a lot of research and now decided to go with Cram. But its not cheap. The issue is we have 53 minutes which is a little too long for a single and too short for a double. Going for a double really pushes the price up and as a new band we cant really justify it. So choices are to drop a couple of tracks, take the chance that we can squeeze 53 minutes onto a single disk without compromising the sound, bite the bullet and go for the double or give it all up and nurse our bruised vanity! Thanks again for your help! and Best Wishes, John
  2. Hi Everyone, I thought you might be interested in hearing the single from our first album, Trail of Tears which is called She Writes Poetry. I've attached the marketing "blurb" as well just to give you an idea of what the song is about. https://open.spotify.com/album/6BskSYHxV0Rw00KfkIvcMe?si=2uF0i9DhTb2p-BHwbYxOGQ She Writes Poetry Run The Enemy, formed in 2023, are a genre defying new band from England, creating a sound which is a fusion of Americana and British Indie. Their debut single, She Writes Poetry, examines the relationship between Ted Hughes (“he’s a singer, story teller, lion, wanderer”) and Sylvia Plath (“talons clench, her heart bursts open, she writes poetry”). From the haunting, tender, chorus-soaked finger-picking introduction, the track builds and builds to an orchestral, fuzz guitar, percussion-driven denouement. The rising tension and sinister undertones of the song mirrors the melodramatic build-up of Sylvia Plath’s life and ultimate suicide, leaving nothing but “verse for the universe”. The full album Trail of Tears will be released on 29th February The bass is a GWB105. (Not the super expensive 1005!)
  3. Hi, Thanks very much for your response - really helpful!
  4. Hi, We are looking at doing a vinyl pressing for our upcoming album and have found this: https://www.cramduplication.co.uk/vinyl-pressing Its the best for reviews on Trustpilot (not that this is the benchmark of course). Has anyone used them, or know of a better company. I did a search here and the last conversation I found was in 2016 so wondering if there is anyone with more up to date experience in this area. We know its not going to be cheap - likely around £2,000. Cheers, John
  5. Here are mine: Mastered mixes from a couple of recent studio sessions https://soundcloud.com/john-buckley-507425123/sets/lap-songs-mastered-mixes?si=72999ab04a1e40c7a8e213a2b62eddb9&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing and rough mixes with a new project - more Americana/Nashville focus https://soundcloud.com/john-buckley-507425123/sets/chief-runs-the-enemy-rough-mixes?si=03a0fd9608594221a26db5ed59ee87fd&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
  6. David, Whereabouts are you? Cheers, John
  7. Pm sent, would like to buy if still available.
  8. Trade for Warwick Streamer $$ 4 String? Little bit of cash your way.
  9. Trade for a Streamer $$ 4 ? Or are you a strictly 5-er non Warwick person... Cheers, John
  10. These are great little amps, I have two, one in my rehearsal space in London and one in my home in Taunton Somerset. There is no better practice amp IMO. David is one of the best guys to deal with too. Buy with confidence.
  11. Hi, Where are you based? Thanks, John
  12. Had a good response off [url="http://www.joinmyband.co.uk"]www.joinmyband.co.uk[/url] and just thinking about plans...
  13. I'm selling my Electric Upright Bass "[color=red][size=4]Aria[/size][/color] [color=red][size=4]SWB[/size][/color]-Lite Bis". (I think the Bis means its got the two pickups, the Piezo and the standard pole piece neck pickup, but may be wrong on that score.) It has a piezo pickup and a more traditional pole piece pickup Comes with a 3/4 Bow and the little bracket that fits into the side of the bass. Also comes with soft case. Can courier at buyers cost, but would rather not. I am based in Taunton, Somerset, and work in London four days a week so collection or meet up somewhere convenient is an option.

  14. Will do, pics didnt come out well - too dark when I took them. I am not back in London until 26th Nov, so early Dec suits well.
  15. Tanglewood Odyssey 12 String Electro Acoustic Artec preamp in it with bass/mid/treble/volume and a battery check button. Since buying it, I fitted an external battery box which makes changing the battery a breeze (the original fitting was inside the bowl which meant you had to loosen the strings to change the battery) It is a slim plastic bowl back which, unlike Ovations et al, sits really well and doesn't tend to want to slip off your lap. The acoustic sound is lovely and crispy clear, but because of the slimness of the body not too well endowed in the low end. Plugged in it is the same but with more control from the preamp (obviously) where the low end can be brought in. I gigged it twice in the two odd years I've had it - I bought it for a recording project and we got a couple of gigs off the back of the demo CD, and it sounded really wonderful through a PA. Currently strung with EB Phosphor Bronze light gauge strings. I don't believe there are any scratches on it and for an 8ish year old instrument it's in very good condition. The reason for selling is because I am planning to upgrade, looking at a Simon and Patrick or similar. Soft case is included and yours for £100. Because there's no hard case I'd rather not ship, but can meet in or near Taunton or in the London area during the week. Will post pictures at the weekend.
  16. Hi, is this still for sale? Which model/series is it? How wide is the neck at the nut? Does it come with hard case? Cheers, John
