RESPECT!

Why, thank you sir.

Victor Wooten's harmonicfest of Amazing Grace (until it goes mental), maybe do your own thing with it too. And River People by Weather Report could be a shout, simple through most of it but you have to keep it tight then breaks into the 16th note groove at the end.

That looks like All Saints church in York, I'm surprised I haven't seen you before I live not far from there.

You are correct! We're out there quite a lot and have been for the last two and a bit years, the gorilla suit has only been out twice though and the rest of the band often busks without me as I can't make it that much any more.

I play sousaphone when I'm out busking with Blackbeard's Tea Party. I used to play trombone (still do a bit) and always thought sousaphones looked fun then I was talking to someone about buying one at a festival when I was absolutely hammered. Got home to find a letter from uni saying I had a small bursary that turned out to be for about the same value as a sousaphone, took it as a sign and bought one, memorised a valve chart and hit the streets

My playing style is definitely more about jumping around while making obnoxious amounts of noise to make money in the street rather than nailing the right note every time though. No one can ignore it, particularly when I'm wearing a gorilla costume.

Just done a trade with Mick, faultless transaction, very trustworthy guy and great communication. Deal with confidence!

Bought this back in February from YouMa and I've barely used it since then as I've been doing small function gigs and my SWR Workingman 10 was much easier to lug around on the train! It's been brilliant on the couple of gigs I've taken it to, loads of low end and loads of punch. I'm selling as I've finally gone down the head/cab route and got a Markbass/EBS rig.

120W, 15" driver, 3 band EQ and shape controls, in great condition apart from some miscellaneous fluff on the carpet covering, yours for £150 collected from Sheffield or an extra £15 for postage.

Just finished recording my band's album and thinking of getting a new toy so these two are up for sale. They're both great all round mics, both have 10dB pad and low cut switches, both in original cardboard boxes with protective foam inserts.

sE 2200A - had this for a few years and it's always served me well. Shock mount is slightly bent but doesn't affect useabilty. £95 inc P&P

AKG C3000B - lovely mic, AKG logo is slightly rubbed off but other than that it's in very good condition. £115 inc P&P

What clip?

Aagh just finished recording my band's album. I'd have taken it otherwise!

Have you seen the fretfx LEDs? Got no experience of them, only found out about them the other day on a market place post.

I once set off for a gig thinking it had been much easier than usual to pack the van. Then a couple of miles down the road I realised my double bass was still in the kitchen.

and to the top we go.

Just met up with Shep for an amp trade and had a good natter over a coffee, great guy to deal with. Buy his stuff!
Cheers dude!

Any interest in my Paulman?

If I hadn't just bought a Markbass rig I'd be in touch... Especially if you were still after trades. I wouldn't be parting with my sousaphone though!

I just grab a chair, flight case or crate from the venue and stick my amp on it.

Just bought a Markbass cab from Alan. He delivered it to me in Sheffield on his way up to Jon Shuker's which was massively appreciated, a pleasure to deal with.

Just bought Harry's Little Mark Tube. He posted it super quick after the money went through, really well packed and absolutely mint condition. His feedback on here speaks for itself, I can highly recommend buying his stuff!

Not my area of expertise, but I was once told that those tuners are a throwback to pre-geared pegs so probably 100 years plus in age.

Is that because they've got the sticky out wooden bits or is there more to it than that? Mine has the wooden things and that's only 65 is years old, or so I believe anyway.
