For anyone in the south west interested in this bass, I’ll be in Bath on Friday and Saturday and Gloucester on Sunday. Happy to bring it along for anyone that wants to check it out -
I’ll be in Eastleigh tonight and Lyme Regis tomorrow if anyone round those parts is interested. Send me a message this morning and I’ll bring it along! Similarly I’ll be in Wavendon on Saturday and Penarth on Sunday. Happy to bring it along if needs be.

PENDING - Now £1800! - Warwick Star Bass 2 - 5 String

That’s stunning. GLWTS -
Selling a classic 1991 Warwick Streamer Stage II. Bought this about six months ago from the original owner. It’s in fantastic condition. Looks as good a new really. Some light tarnishing to the gold hardware but that’s about it. It had been sat in storage for quite some time before I bought it so it needed a bit of attention. I had the battery connector replaced and it’s had a full setup and light fretstone since I got hold of it and it’s feeling lovely to play. It’s a lovely instrument and I’ve really enjoyed playing it over the last few months but it doesn’t really fit in with the kind of work I do so it’s not going to get played enough to justify keeping it. Plus I’ve just bought another bass and frankly I need to replenish the gear funds! The bass doesn’t have a case unfortunately so it’s collection only from Peckham SE15. You’re welcome to come and try it out and have a cup of tea, no pressure! My feedback thread on here:

Harry bought my Markbass cabinet. Had a great chat about all things bass. A pleasure to deal with. Thanks @Harry

Yep that was me! Whilst my Wilcock bass isn’t actually short scale (it’s 32” as @ezbassmentioned) it does get you in the ballpark and plays/sounds very much like a short scale bass. Plus being medium scale it’s very easy to switch between that and my regular 34” basses. I actually bought it last year from a fellow Basschatter specifically to play on a few tracks for the latest DC album and it ended up on every track. It’s since become the number 1 bass on the UK tour and will be going all round Europe with us in the spring. It really is a joy to play and is incredibly responsive under the fingers. Previously I had a JMJ Mustang that filled the shorty role but it was nowhere near as versatile as the Wilcock. And it sounds awesome with a pick. Does the clicky palm-mute thing better than anything else I’ve played.

Steve!! Welcome back! Gutted to have missed your recent gig in Peckham; I was playing in Wolverhampton. Ships in the night… Hope you’re well x

Me too. Got a stack of Markbass gear 👌 -
@simonlittleThey all definitely had a budget-bass feel to them and all could have done with a decent setup which wasn’t helping. A few months previous to my Gibson visit I’d had a go on an old Toby Pro at the Gallery and whilst the electronics were not good at all the bass itself felt amazing to play. Should have just bought that one and gutted it. You live and learn!

I went along to the Gibson shop to try out what they had in stock a few months ago and wasn’t impressed at all. Build quality, feel, sound… not great I’m afraid. Tried a Classic 4, Growler 5 and one other one (can’t remember which model; one of the cheaper ones)… I was excited too when I heard Gibson were starting to produce the Tobias basses again. Oh well..

I had a feeling this wouldn’t hang around for long! Don’t forget to add *SOLD* to the listing title to close the thread 😉 -
Selling my Novation AFX Station. Released a few years ago now, the AFX Station is a limited edition Bass Station II with some input from Aphex Twin. Looks great in black and having a lot of the secondary functions printed on the instrument really helps navigating all the additional features. Boxed with everything that came with it new (power supply, USB Cable, paperwork), plus a Decksaver Perspex cover. Collection from Peckham SE15 or can post in UK at buyer’s expense. My feedback thread is here-

Markbass MB58R 104 Energy bass cab. Bought from here a fair while ago alongside a 210 cab and head but in all the time since I’ve only really needed the 210. Played only one show through the 410 and it sounded awesome. But it’s not getting used and my flat is not big! The cab is in excellent condition; good as new really. As soon as I got it home I bought one of the lovely but overpriced Markbass covers to protect it from the cats, which it has done excellently. The cover is still in pretty good condition. Whilst it’s unbelievably lightweight it is rather large so its collection only from Peckham SE15. Any questions feel free to ask. Selling it for what I paid for it and now it comes with the swanky cover. Bargain. My Feedback on Basschat

Fantastic 👌 -
Say Hi to Laura from me. Haven’t seen her in ages! Have a good one 😉

These are great basses. I have exactly the same one with a maple board. They are indeed head and shoulders above anything Fender are making right now… -
Met up with Lorenzo this morning to buy his Ditto Looper. Really lovely guy and a pleasure to deal with. Had a great chat about all things bass! Deal with confidence folks!

That’s stunning 👌 -
Sorry if this is a silly question, but have you tried it with a different bass? Could also be your output jack.

Wow these are amazing photos! Great work! The photo of Neil checking his watch to see how many more songs we could play before getting kicked out for the disco made me laugh!
-
@cybertectThese are fantastic photos!! Looks like you had a great spot too 👍
-
Ah great that you were at the album launch! I was wondering if anyone from here might have been there last night. You’ll have to let me know next time you come to a show; always nice to meet other bass players on TDC gigs!

Sold a couple of straps to Alejandro this week. Super easy and quick transaction and a really nice chap. Highly recommended 👍

It’s still very much in the board ready for the tour 😉

Hello folks Just thought I’d let you know that the new The Divine Comedy album is out today. We recorded this back in September last year at Abbey Road. There’s a bit of upright bass and the rest is pretty much all on the Wilcock bass I bought off the lovely @Old Man Rivajust before the sessions started. And for those interested the electric bass was always running through the Jad Freer Capo I bought off @Chadu25 too so the Basschat Marketplace has had a big influence on bottom end of this record! Hope you like it 😎 Simon
