    Charity gig in the Gala Casino for a local hospice (St Gemmas) in Leeds. Rolled up at 6.30 ( agreed time) no other band member in sight ( for second gig in succession) so loaded in all PA, Lights and own backline on own. Eventually others turned up, soundchecked and did 2 low key sets, average age of audience (who were only there for the buffet and raffle) 65, I'd say. Youngest daughter came up from London with partner, this was first time she's seen the Trio so positive vibes there. After gig had words with colleagues regarding not only me booking/organising 95% of the gigs, constantly networking/publicising and storing, carrying and setting up PA and lights but being usually first to arrive and last to leave. It seems the more you do, the least you get appreciated.....however there was an offer to take 2 satellite speakers off me for the future! The worry now is will they remember to bring them to the gigs.....?

    Interestingly he reckons by putting a note in the case saying "thanks for the loan buddy" he can get around the import/vat issues that arise when sending stuff from outside the EC. At some point they will twig as he had a huge loan collection............

    [quote name='Geek99' post='248560' date='Jul 26 2008, 06:11 PM']does anyone have a link for SX - I do like their 70s look jazz. Do they actually sound like the real thing?[/quote] Yes on the link: [url="http://www.rondomusic.com/bassguitars4.html"]http://www.rondomusic.com/bassguitars4.html[/url] I'd check on here and TB re sound, I'd suspect no, most seem to at least mod the PU

    [quote name='ste_m3' post='244492' date='Jul 21 2008, 03:35 PM']I thought i may aswell put this up for trade properly now as i have nothing better to do with my life! Most of you know that both of these are able to punch WELL above their weight (pun intended) but i just fancy a change. Im really not after cash unless i have another rig lined up. Im happy to trade both for a good quility head with a little cash my way. Anyway, [b]Markbass Little Mark II[/b] [list] [*]450 watts at 4ohms [*]dead light [*]very usable filters (mid scoop and vintage emulator) [/list] And [b]Schroeder 1212R[/b] [list] [*]2x12 compact cab [*]1000watt power handeling (not a typo, Itll hold its own alright!!) [*]4ohm [*]comfortable one man lift [*]fully adjustable and very musical horn [/list] Heres a shot of it in use at Glastonbury behind our very own synth player and in my room, showing you the miniscule size of this loud mother! I also wont be using the sennheiser freeport if i get a good valvey head so if youd like to incorporate that into a deal, just let me know! Cheers guys.[/quote] Can't believe you're a 17 year old male with a room that tidy, did you take that photo somewhere else?!!!!!

    We had a picnic to play on Saturday and specified a gazebo and surge protected power supply. Needless to say it started to rain, the gazebo let a fine drizzle of rain through that you could not see but feel...cue disconnection of all equipment and swift move inside!

    Brian May's been dead 40 years?

    Having met Pete I think he deserves another bump, well at least his bass does!

    I've retired today so this my farewell gig to people from work/home etc and should be a good do. We should have our real drummer in tow which is nice.....
  9. yorks5stringer

    Apologies if in wrong forum....

    We (not my Trio) were offered a Doctor's Birthday Party yesterday on Saturday August 23rd in York and negotiated £500 for it. Unfortunately the singer had not marked his unavailability that weekend on our calendar, so it was only today he mentioned could not do it..... Consequently we need to give backword and would like to ring up the Client with some possible dep bands, who have to do a Soul-based set. Whilst I can't guarantee the gig, it would be good to offer some possible contacts. If anyone is fairly local and interested please PM me.

    Go on, give us a clue, bet I can guess in 10.... Is it yellow and black? Is it little? Does it weigh around 7 lbs Does it have knobs? Does it have a serial number?

    Kenny Gradney from Little Feat was playing one when I saw them recently at Holmfirth. Had a great tight sound.

    Had it once been owned by Nancy Sinatra I'd be interested.....

    I had briefly a Shine Telecaster- type( OK, I know they were actually Precisions) 4 String Bass which cost around £60 and I sold a bit later for the same. Had 2 passive MM type pickups and sounded good, well made , no issues, just not into 4 strings now. It was a good solid piece of wood too....

    Fly Me to the Moon: Guilty Fever: Guilty We often do these with some unique and discordant bass notes however...

    It went for £370 plus postage, I bet the winner if they go on to read this will wish they'd paid an extra £70 for a new one?
  21. yorks5stringer
    That's a very nice Bass (as I have played it). Have your first bump on me!

    On the one hand a useful source of ( not cheap) spare parts but on the other he's offering to break intact oldish instruments...I guess it depends if you regard an instrument as a lump of wood with strings etc or as something more valued and maybe esoteric?

    Why not bid for this: has he changed any of the wording since last time? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Markbass-Little-Mark-II-Bass-Amp-Head_W0QQitemZ170238818511QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item170238818511&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Markbass-Little-Mark...p3286.m14.l1318[/url] I think £469 is still a good price, why not see if they will split the difference? Everyone else is selling them for a lot more with the Euro increasing in value, some are over £500 now!
  24. yorks5stringer
    Right Paul, I'll make sure your donation reaches them! Thanks

    I used to have the exact one and it was flippin heavy, remember trying to get the castors for it but then it would not have fitted my car. Don't quote me but I reckon it was 80-90 lbs.....
