  1. I just got a Roland V-Bass and pickup from Ian, and it was a pleasure. Quick transaction, superb communication, everything was as specified and completely hassle-free. Hope to make more deals with him in the future. Cheers. Pablo.
  2. Hi there, Brutalbass. Un saludo de un asturiano londinense de adopcion!
  3. Hi,just wanted to share my soundcloud page. [url="http://www.soundcloud.com/pablobassman"]www.soundcloud.com/pablobassman[/url] Hope you enjoy it!
  4. Pity I prefer jazz necks, but that looks gorgeous! Good luck with the sale!
  5. Recently I bought a Hohner The Jack from Robbie. It was a swift deal, we came to a good deal very quickly. Robbie turned up to be a very friendly and reasonable guy, and if I was a bit hesitant buying something from a new member from a different country, then I could put my fears aside. Robbie gave me very detailed info about the bass, shipping costs, etc and the bass itself is exactly as he described it to me (by the way, it is a great bass!) Cheerio. Pablo.
  6. I just got Robbie's fretless delivered, amazing instrument at a great price and Robbie is a great guy to deal with! I'd snatch the other one if I had the money. Cheers. Pablo.
  7. Hi there, I have a 5 string JJ version that I got second hand for £1000 around 2005, a bit too much maybe but I don't regret it. It belonged to my former teacher and for 5 years I longed for it. It comes in lovely CAR with rosewood fretboard, the neck and body are maple as usual. Very light, indeed, and the slimmest neck I've had. It's glossy finish and the slightly unusual profile makes it a bit slow for me, compared with my other basses, but it is not an issue. Mine doesn't have a head dive, in fact it is probably one of the best balanced basses I've seen. The neck is very stable and you can have a very low action so it is very comfortable. Regarding the sound, I think it is amazing, with the two Bartolini J-style pups and the two-band preamp. The downside is that it has very little output for an active bass and nowadays I feel a bit lost if I don't have a mid-freq pot to fiddle with. Mind you, every time I record something with it it comes incredibly clear and well-defined on the mix... I heard that now they come with an Aguilar preamp, I'm looking forward to try one... All things considered it is a great bass, perhaps "Jazz Bass on steroids" is a good definition for it. Outstandind build quality, 9/10 for me there. 7.5/10 for the sound. If I had the money, I'd get a soapbar version. Cheers. Pablo.
  8. Hi there. I've been using a rehearsal room for the last 4 months with my band in Cricklewood, London, sharing with two more bands. Unfortunately one of them is gone. If anyone is interested, it's around 200 pounds a month (240 from January), and we are happy to share our PA. The other band are sharing their drum kit as well. There's also space for storage and the place is safe and insured. Not sure if this fits in "General Discussion", apologies in advance! Cheers. Pablo.
  9. Hey mate, sorry to see you already selling it, use my pics if you want, they have to be somewhere here! Guys, Alex is a great bloke to deal with and that bass is awesome, i only sold it because of my dodgy neck but it feels and sounds great. Cheers.
  10. Had a Lag myself a few years ago and although it seems to me it was from a "lower" series, it was a great instrument nevertheless, and I always wanted to try more stuff from them! Have a free bump on me!
  11. Gorgeous bass! Have a free bump on me!
  12. I recently bought an amazing Yamaha TRB5p from Ivan, and he's a great man to deal with. Good and quick communication and no problem arranging payment, place for the collection and all the details. Thumbs up! Cheers.
  13. Have a free bump from a Bongo lover! That bass looks so cool!
  14. Nice picks and nice bass, buddy, but forum rules say you need to put a price, this is not an auction! Cheers!
  15. I just sold Alex my Yamaha TRB6. It was a very smooth sale, he gets my vote!
