I used have a Stanley Clarke live DVD where he was part of the big School Days jam at the end and was easily one the best there

Get your bank to raise a cheque (Nationwide charge £10.00 for this, not sure about others) and mail it to him?

I'm fairly sure Shine are built in the same factory as Ibanez if that helps

War Pigs is a fun Sabbath track to play. Dazed And Confused is a good obey for PJ, gets your right hand strength up too!

Purchased from our own SK8 this arrived yesterday and it's a beast some of the sounds it produces are insane. The more extreme options wouldn't be particularly useful in many settings, but it is very versatile from a gentle overdrive, up to a very high gain fuzz.

I bought it to improve my tone for doing Hysteria live and it does the Muse sound very well.

I also had a lot of fun with the following signal chain:

B-standard tuned G&L L2000 (both pickups on, in series, active with treble boost) » EBS Multicomp in tube-sim mode » Metaldrive with the gain up » Tech 21 BDDI with the gain pushed into my mixer with headphones.

The filthy doom riffs I was playing with this set-up were great :-)

Weekend bump

Peavey Grinds are very good! The stock pickups sound fairly good recorded direct into a desk too, but the upgrade options are almost limitless with them being EMG shaped. Only thing to note is the necks are VERY thin, so while they're fast/easy to play they take some getting used to!

I also would recommend a Shine. My first 6er was an active one of these and it was super comfortable to play. Again the pickups are EMG sized or jazz sized depending on what you go for so if you really feel the need to upgrade its easily done

It was your Sig / waxing lyrical about Peavey Grind s that put me onto them in the first place

I feel the same way on and off, thought picking up a 2nd hand Peavey Grind 6 and then swapping out the electronics if I like it was the best plan

Battery by Metallica is a very underrated use of root / octave playing

AW-3 sold

To fund my latest purchase I've got to move a couple of things on

[s]Boss AW-3 dynamic Autowah
A good sounding and versatile Autowah pedal, inputs for guitar and bass; up, down and sharp modes for different tones of wah; a tap tempo mode and coolest of all a vocaliser. It's also got an input for an expression pedal to turn it into a rocker wah.
I bought this on a whim a few years ago when I got a tax rebate, but have barely used it (I swiftly came to the realisation that the pedal alone won't make me sound like Flea) so it's in as new condition - I think I've gigged it twice and taken it up a jam night a couple of times. These are going for £110 at Anderton's at the moment so I'm asking a respectable:
£50.00 + p&p [/s] SOLD

Dod FX91 bass overdrive
A good sounding overdrive kind of Timmy C sound, the controls are volume, blend, tone and drive; the blend and tone controls are very useful to keep you from dropping out the mix. This has been gigged, but is in good condition, box is a bit tatty though.
£35.00 delivered

I'll try and get photos up tonight

I played the Download Festival a couple of years ago, does that mean I've played with Faith No More, Slipknot and Def Leppard?

It is nice that he feels that he's got enough
money and doesn't need to flog the carcass of Queen for whatever he can get, unlike May / Taylor. Anyone remember the collaboration with Five for example?

Crazy little thing called love is fretless, always a fretless P I presume? Obviously another bites the dust is his most famous Ray track but there are others, good old fashioned lover boy I think is another. If you listen closely I'd say there are quite a few Rays recorded regardless of what he plays in the videos or live where he does seem to favour the P, I miss JD

He uses a Ray on Tie Your Mother Down, or at least the video for it

I went to the Park Resorts camp in Camber a couple of weeks ago for our family holiday and was slightly offended by the house band having no bass player, they were a 3 piece - vocals, guitar and drums with sequence bass and keys.

Strange thing is though the few tracks I saw were all quite bass heavy, with the guitarist playing minimal FX laden parts

It doesn't help that they're not a very well known brand, I've been having trouble selling my custom be4 even though most Warwick / Spector fans would love it if they got they're hands on it, Im thinking about withdrawing mine as it's too good to let go at a silly price. The market is dead at the moment, so unless you want to take a fairly big hit on value you might be waiting a while for a sale.

One thing you might want to do is try taking it up to Bass Direct and get them to do a comission sale, as they stock Mayones anyway and know what they're talking about - I was planning on doing this last year until I needed it for a recording project which has since dropped off.

I will say though, I played a Jabba before ordering my be4 and it was very nice, I came very close to ordering one of those instead and tbh now, I think I would. I'll bet yours sounds great with the Delanos in it too.

Well? What bass was it? Finish? Fretboard wood? Backline if he was using it and pedalbaord if you could see it? Don't leave us hanging for details

Bump for the weekend

Might be worth trying a great guy, member called Peety, lives in Wigan. He was looking to move one of his 2 Glaubs on, then changed his mind.
You can but ask, he's a great guy and wont bite.
Of course, if he only wants to sell, 1st dibs on offering yours .
Whaddya mean ulterior motive

Was that the one black, one sunburst? If so, I've already spoken to him and he too prefers a wider neck, cheers though.

Gigged it again at the weekend and if a Bob G doesn't turn up or if I try one and don't like it I'll be happy to keep this, still looking to trade at the moment though.

Hold out and find a Bob G they are just great basses better than a hell of a lot of Fenders if had.
[/quote]
That was my first instinct and what I hope to find

Hi all,

Although I'm very happy with my Lakland Duck Dunn, I foolishly played a mate's '79 Precision a couple of weeks ago which made me think I prefer wider necks and after A/Bing with my L2000 I've come to the conclusion that this is the case. I love the tone and aesthetics of the DD and can cope with the narrower neck OK, but the thought that there is something out there which will suit me better has got me tentatively putting it up for trade.

It's a Skyline model Duck Dunn signature which has been professionally modded to have a matched Lindy Fralin jazz pickup at the bridge, the input jack moved to the side (to facilitate the extra volume control) and a (currently un-used) battery compartment fitted. The control configuration is VVT.

I think what I'm after is a Skyline Bob Glaub with a Lindy Fralin - as I think the pickup is a big part of what I love about the tone so much, but I guess it doesn't have to be a Lakland, just a good quality P with the aforementioned pickup in it. The trade would be dependent on us getting together and trying out each other's basses as I've not played a Bob Glaub before - but on paper it's what I'm after; so I'm hoping there's someone out there with a BG who prefers narrower necks.

I'm not looking for any other trades or a cash sale as I don't want to be left with no bass waiting for the right deal to come up, cheers, cash adjustment either way is possible for the right deal.

This was originally owned by OBBM who had the mods done (by The Gallery in Camden I believe), it then went to Old Horse Murphy before passing to me, so if you want a second opinion on it, ask either of those guys. I've pinched OBBM's photos from the gear porn thread for now, but if anyone wants more photos from any other angle let me know and I'll get them up.

Sadowsky offer to reverse the pickup on their 5-string precisions, maybe that would work? Of course, if the coil for the bass side is closer to the bridge that might cause other problems.

Ohhhh Duck Dunn with a jazz in GAS attack

It sounds fantastic, it looks amazing; I've just come to the conclusion I prefer wider necks is all.
