  2. None at all Ed , i can send you some pictures of the back of the bass if you would like some Thanks Steve
  3. Epiphone Jack Casady in sparkling Burgundy, I bought the Bass from peach guitars in September and it is in excellent condition. It has been used mainly at home and only gigged once. Normally I wouldn’t even think about selling this bass however I have a relatively serious shoulder upper arm injury which because of the size of the body is making it uncomfortable to play. I’ve tried an extra long strap and other things but unfortunately the problem continues so regrettably I’m putting it up for sale. The bass was set up by the guys at Peach guitars as part of the sale and is currently strung with Rotosound flats. Comes with a TGI acoustic bass gig bag/ case Bass is in Wigan and I can post or you can collect for free. Any questions let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them, Thanks Steve
  4. Good afternoon gents I'm after a bit of info from you Yamaha aficionados , I'm looking for a new back up for my Maruszczyk Jake, currently i have a Squier Affinity precision which although it is perfectly decent I tend not to use it and gig exclusively with the Jake. So, I'm thinking about selling it and buying something that i would be tempted to gig a little bit more with. The two options I'm considering are the Yamaha BB434 or the fender Player precision which is probably the safe option as i had one before and know what it does. However, Im intrigued by the Yamaha and I know many of you on the site speak highly of the quality of basses they produce. Was just wondering if any of you currently play the 434 and could give me a steer on how they differ from the good old P Bass. I fully intend having a ride to try one out for myself but thought I'd take advantage of the knowledgeable members of basschat first. For context i play in a covers band that plays a fairly eclectic mix of indie, pop, rock and a bit of motown. Any advice or recommendations will be gratefully received Thanks Steve
  5. Thanks gents I'll have a look at them
  6. Hi gents just looking for a bit of advice, I've got a squier affinity PJ bass that i essentially have as a back up don't play it much and i want to do some minor upgrades to make it more playable, firstly i'd like to fit new tuners as the ones on it are basic to say the least , preferably lightweight ones but if I'm honest I know little about the best options , would appreciate a bit of advice on the best options out there from you knowledgeable people. Thanks Steve
  7. First live gig I ever saw Liverpool stadium in 1975 saw him many times after that the last being in a small tent at Glastonbury in 2017, Cockney Rebel were the soundtrack of my teenage years. Great performer and excellent musician as George pointed out above while he is best known for make me smile there are so many more great tunes in his back catalogue. RIP Steve and thanks for the memories
  8. Just sold my Classic vibe Precision to Steve fast payment great communication very easy transaction highly recommended top bloke hope you enjoy the bass Steve
  9. At 64 I'm by far the oldest in our covers band with the singer being early 30's and the guitarist and drummer in their early 20's. I've known Mike the singer for a long time through playing cricket and when he wanted to expand his acoustic duo to a full band some years ago he asked mew to help out which I agreed too until they found a regular bass player. 10 years later and I'm still here, original guitarist and drummer left maybe 4 years ago to start an originals band, found replacements and got on with it. Probably busier than we've ever been averaging around 60-70 gigs a year definitely helps me keep young and I'm still enjoying it. We do a nice mix of functions and pub gigs which is good. Although i must admit i wish I had a quid for every time I've been asked whose dad I am. Thing is as long as you're still enjoying gigging them age is no barrier just get out there and enjoy yourself is my motto.
  10. Last gig of what has been another extremely busy year for us a wedding in Garstang up in Lancs. Nice change as for the last 5 years covid permitting we have played a dinner dance at a hotel in Ashton Under Lyne which year by year has had less people attending, so was really looking forward to tonight. However, like many others it seems I've been afflicted by a sore throat and chest infection for most of December so just going to dose myself up and struggle through. Good luck to everyone who is gigging tonight hope you all have a good one and happy new year to you all.
  11. I don't mind at all not sure i need to weigh it and I'll get back to you shortly if that's ok ? Cheers Steve
  12. I've dropped the price on this to £250 as I could do with moving it on Let me know if you have any questions Cheers Steve
  13. Squier Classic Vibe 1960's precision in Sunburst. Bass is in excellent condition with no visible marks. Has just been professionally set up and had new GHS precision flats fitted. Bought 2nd hand with the intention of using it as a back up but i already have one and three basses is excessive for me as even though i gig most weekends this probably won't get used enough to justify. Plus i want to get one of the new Ashdown Pro DI pedals so this would cover it. I'm based in Wigan and happy to post for £20, if you have any other questions please feel free to ask , as always my photography skills are very basic and i'm happy to provide extras if needed. Cheers Steve
  14. funnily enough i picked up an identical bass for 185 quid at Cash Generator in Wigan its in pristine condition, going off to get a pro set up and new strings then it'll become back up to my Maruscyck for gigs and will definitely get a few outings
  15. We’ve been using in ears exclusively for the last 3 years and I’ve used one of these instead of an amp probably done over 200 gigs without any issues whatsoever. There are undoubtedly better and much more expensive Options out there but for the price these are reliable and great value. My intention was originally to use it as a short term solution in case I couldn’t get use to in ears , but honestly never seen a reason to upgrade cheers Steve
