    With my bass I use a realist and with my berg cabs I struggled to get enough top end, sounds amazing with my P basses though

    Genz Benz streamliner 900 £550 TRADE PENDING I bought this from Mark at Bass Direct on 22nd of march this year so it's still under warranty for 2 years 5 months its with its original box and manual, and its with a genz benz man bag type carry case that was £45 here's the spec [url="http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2663&sid=675&cid=95"]http://www.genzbenz....&sid=675&cid=95[/url] although I'm sure you know all about these already great sounding amp ,old school warmth and grit in a tiny lightweight modern reliable amp, I really like the way you can drive the tube at any volume. I'm selling it because these days the vast majority of my work is on upright and when I do play electric its tend to be doubling so I'm gonna get a head that I can put the upright thru as well. I'd trade it for a shuttle 9.2 with a £100 to you or maybe a shuttle 9 with a bit of cash to me I'm in Stoke Newington North London and I can deliver inside the M25 for free or I'm happy to meet somewhere if its mutually convenient or I could post.

    I know a few people that use these strings and they sound great on the right bass , they do seem to suit bigger basses on the whole

    really heavy, really expensive but an all valve ampeg is as good as gets in my opinion, although I can't always be arsed to use mine when I do it always makes me smile.

    For sale Yamaha SBV500 £250 a reissue of a 60s yamaha bass these were made 2000-2001 for 6 months I bought it about 5 years ago cos I loved the look of it and was pleasantly suprised by the sound and playability, like most yamaha's it's really well made and the neck is very stable, no buzz or dead spots,very even across the range of the instrument quite versatile tone wise but for me it's best for an old school P bass tone although you can get a bit of honk from the bridge PUP too comes with a padded fender gig bag I'm in Stoke Newington North London, I could deliver inside the M25 for free , collections cool too obviously, I would post it too for whatever it costs me although I've not posted basses before I might need a bit of advice on the best way to do it [attachment=118698:IMG_4590.JPG][attachment=118699:IMG_4592.JPG][attachment=118700:IMG_4593.JPG] £250 SOLD

    SOLD 3/4 plywood upright, 1970s factory made hungarian bass with thomastik spirocore strings, comes with a canvas cover £450 It's in really good condition, there's a repair on a shoulder where there was a hole, the repair isn't cosmetically discreet but very secure, there's also a little bit of wear on the one of the edges, I bought this bass to take on a tour that was mainly electric bass as I didn't fancy taking my old german bass I got it off ebay but I didn't play very well so I took it to Laurence Dixon in Clapham and did a bit of work on the bridge, moved the soundpost and put a set of thomastik spirocores on it, here's a link to me playing it on a french tv show mid tour through a realist into DI [url="http://www.canalplus.fr/c-divertissement/pid3301-c-concert-prive.html?vid=397008"]http://www.canalplus...html?vid=397008[/url] I'm in Stoke Newington, north london,I can deliver inside the M25 for free or further away for fuel costs or maybe we could figure something out meeting up on the way to or from gigs, I can email more pics

    I use an HD210 and 112 and I love em, call me old fashioned but I much prefer ceramic drivers for that old school warmth and punch

    GONE NOW SWR workingmans 4 10 , it was regular cab for a long time but I ended up getting an ampeg 4 12 to go with my SVT so this became surplus so rather than doing the sensible thing and selling it i put it in my mates garage and the carpet has gone a bit mouldy in places and some of the screw heads around the handles have gone rusty but it still works fine, GONE NOW GK MB150s I used this for double bass until the speaker started sounding blown so I removed the speaker and took it to wembley loud speaker to get it reconed but they said the speaker was fine, if you power a cab from the ext speaker outs it sounds fine , so as far as I can tell the amp bit works and the speaker works but as a combo it doesn't, oh and I've lost the some of the screws . For someone a bit handy with a soldering iron I would of thought this would be an easy fix I'm in stoke newington north london, collection only, PM me

    why get another one

    I like the pick for even rhythmic articulation especially when doubling a guitar line, occasionally even a few funky 16s ala Bobby Vega but I mainly play fingerstyle, When I first started I remember some kids from a punk band calling me both gay and a fanny tickler for playing fingerstyle

    see what you mean about the hire cost I'd just get a cheap second hand PA on ebay and whack everything through it , fair play to you for helping out the whole band

    Hi Laurence I've got a set of velvet garbas, I tried a friends bass which had them on and they sounded amazing however on my bass they didn't work , £270 ouch I took them off my bass after 8 bars so they're like new, probably not of interest to you but thought I'd mention it I want £150ish for them , I probably wouldn't budge too much on that as I'm looking for a new bass at the moment and wouldn't mine trying them on it cheers Spencer

    nightmare isn't it, I've heard that the black box marks you down for driving late at night so maybe not so good for us musos

    I just bought a streamliner 900 after trying the shuttle as well at bass direct. I play an old P bass and found the shuttle a bit too accurate, a bit too much rattle and clatter where the streamliner smoothes it out a bit. I play upright too and the shuttle was much better than the streamliner for that

    good question, I was watching some live gig jazz clips on youtube and it seemed that pre 70s recordings with the bass mic'd up sounded great and the later ones with a pick up sounded terrible. Did drummers play quieter? Did bass players play louder? I remember Jeff Clyne telling me that back in the day sometimes the bass would stand on a little box/stage and sometimes he'd have a mic into the PA
