    Roland Gaia. Analog sensibilities, no screen, only knobs, but digital, so saved patches!

    Hi everyone. I'm selling a Romanian Stentor/Andreas Zeller double bass in Chelmsford. I've had it for a few years and it's been worked on by brilliant luthier Martyn Bailey. He's replaced the bridge (one with risers), reset sound post, repaired a cracked neck, added a really nice new spike, new strings, planed the fingerboard and generally made it a really nice instrument. I've spent a fortune on these repairs and upgrades but I'm selling it for £850 (or very near offer). It comes with a bag and fishman pickup. You're welcome to come and play it of course! As I mentioned, the neck was broken at some point in its history, but it is a solid repair and recently Martyn redid the repair (big bolt through it!) There are a few unimportant cracks here and there, and it looks a little rough around the edges but otherwise fine. Check out pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152398086897029.1073741848.506897028&type=1&l=e4cc0d3446 Any questions shoot me a message!

    I use the Roland Gaia and love it. Perfect for modern pop stuff.

    Does anyone have any spotify or other playlists highlighting Pino's playing? I'd love to hear more.
  6. Mike
    If it's still available for whatever reason, I'm interested.

    I'd love to check it out at some point Chris - not sure when I can get to Canterbury though. I'll check the diary. What's your availability during the day on a weekday?

    I always have to post when I see something about Wunjo. So far I've bought 2 USA Jazz deluxes (4&5 string) so around £2700ish plus accessories like strings and hercules holders - the reason? Because of the great, friendly, not-overbearing service, and their ability to match internet prices. Laurence always recognises me too and greets me warmly like an old friend, telling me to play what I like and giving me space. I'm so glad other people are having such positive experiences too. Thank christ we have a bass store in Denmark St now which is customer service savvy. I would always go out of my way to travel into London to give them my custom as I'm so pleased with their service. I think if you've had a great experience, let them know via email - I'm sure management and the staff involved would really appreciate it. [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email]

    I've got a cheaper DB to offer but not sure I could make up the shortfall, especially after buying an imac. Tricky.

    This, and the five string version are my main basses. Tremendous instruments!
  12. Mike
    Ahhh. Ah..ahhh. Hmm.

    I think knowing arpeggios inside and out is critical to outlining harmony on the fingerboard. US bassist Todd Johnson has got improvising lessons for sale (music on PDF and videos) which I think is a brilliant starting point as it deals with arpeggios and scalic figures.

    It certainly sounds nice but don't be fooled - a lot of processing has taken place. It's clearly quite strongly compressed and the lead vocals have been obviously (and to my ears, unmusically) autotuned. Quite unnatural sounding, particularly the higher parts.

    I'm afraid it's sold - thanks anyway.

    Hi everybody! I am a player/teacher in Chelmsford, Essex teaching from my home where I am well set up with a home studio - I like to use custom made backing tracks, drum loops, recording and multi-instrumental accompaniment to enhance my teaching.

Please email me through the website, or PM on here! My number is also on my website. Thanks! Mike

    Thanks for the tip Owen. That seems like a great deal. It is extremely heavy though!

    [size=5][b][s]£75 [/s][/b]now [b]£50[/b][/size] Hi everyone, Here is a flight case for long scale basses - extremely hardwearing (and heavy) it is perfect for shipping/touring or someone gigging regularly. Pictured inside is my 5 string USA Jazz dlx - not included! Great condition. Just too big and heavy for my use! No world tours coming my way at the mo. Got to be picked up really, it's so big and heavy. Only £75 - surely a bargain considering the prices I've seen new. I'm in Chelmsford, Essex. Right on the A12 which is J28 of the M25. Could even meet somewhere for a bit of diesel money. Regards Mike

    I can now ship this - I have a fitted cardboard case so will ship in UK at buyer's cost!

    Hi there, here is an Allparts jazz neck I used on a 68 jazz for a bit (it was a fretless and I wanted to use it as a fretted bass). It's in pretty good condition - scuff on 3rd fret, dent on 14th fret. some rubbing marks on the headstock along the edge in 4 areas (see pics) but not really too visable from the front. £55 shipped. Or £50 picked up from Chelmsford, Essex. Can do bank transfer or paypal gift. Cheers! Mike
