  1. Well, I never thought I'd sell this one on, but circumstances have forced me to do so. Boo hoo.

    So, here's my beloved '56 P-Bass relic made for me by John Elliot at Bravewood

    Alder body with maple neck
    Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickup with added "earth wire" to ground the chrome pickup cover.
    The bass is strung with DR 45's and the intonation is great all across the board.

    The instrument really plays wonderfully and it's a wrench to let it go, but my girlfriends apartment needs some work done, so I'm offloading some guitars to pay for the upgrades.

    Price is £950 posted in the UK. John charges £1,499 plus postage for these.

    Here goes with some pics:










  2. I have a Chinese bootleg copy of the World At War DVD Boxset. It plays fine, and has all the episodes.

    11 DVDs in the boxset.

    Anyone who wants it - just drop me a line and I'll get it posted off to you - all free, no item or postage cost to you!! See, we Scots aren't mean buggers after all!

  3. Hi guys,

    well, as can be seen from the pics earlier, this bass has the serial number "2". Now, this style - single coil P-Bass is the ONLY one Carey has made so far!

    The first P-Bass style one he made was a split coil style P-Bass with an added J pickup - that bass was made for Calvin Turner.

    I'd ordered this bass only a few days after Calvin ordered his one.

    The neck is chunky, but is you've played the older style P-Basses you'll know that the classic P-Bass tone was founded upon the woody tone you get from such a solid neck. The fretting is simply wonderful, and the rolled edges on the edge of the fingerboard make the bass feel instantly like an "old friend" when you play it.

    Whoever grabs this bass (and likes full necks) will love this bass!!

  4. Okay, here we go again. Yet another of Kev's "as new" condition pieces of equipment.

    Here's an MXR Phase 100 with all the MXR leaflet "bumph" still intact.

    Anyone wondering how the unit sounds - here's a Youtube clip ) Most of the clip shows 6 string guitar, but it also features Bobby Vega jamming on his Jazz Bass too

  5. Went to the Post Office yesterday and found that it wasn't my Groove Regulator which was waiting, but a TW Steel watch - Now, I know they are "outsize", but this is mental - this thing is the size of my wrist!!



    Anyhow, in regards to the Groove Regulator - I arrived home today and there's a letter from Parcelforce asjking for the VAT charge plus an additional £8 handling fee from Parcelforce!! Stealing pigs! Oh well, charge has been paid so the filter should be with me early next week.

  6. I prefer the stack layout - I love the ability to keep the neck pickup fully open tone-wise to retain that throaty roar, and at teh same time being able to slightly roll off the highs on the brodge pickup so that it doesn't sound overly "quacky" when it is soloed.

  7. Here's a thing......... I was watching the start of the Pet Shop Boys set and thought "if there was distorted guitar playing along here, and the vocals were proto-operatic, this would sound like Muse!!"

    Personally, I think Muse are a great band. Also, as stated previously, what's the deal with "the pipe". Is this the Jack Hargreaves influence - HOW!!!???
