Now sold, cheers! Got this bad boy but don't use it. Its in good condition and obviously does what its meant to do. (Its a bl**dy strap, how much can you say about it?!?) Its about 7cm wide and is adjustable, depending on if you like a short length or a nice long length. (Oh yeah hot mama.....) £17 delivered, bank transfer, cheque or PayPal if you pay the satanic fees.

Just tonight I've been offered the chance to go play with a resident club band in China, and have a lot of thinking to do and only 2 days to do it in. It'd mean leaving everything here for anything from a year to however long. Fantastic opportunity, but lots of things/people to think of here first.

I saw Megadeth twice in '95 and again at Download in 2005, and there was no comparison. Ellefson is a great player, and when he does a solo (very rarely but look at youpube) he's actually an extremely accomplished musician. Lomenzo is about 5-foot tall (seriously) and needs a good iron.

I love the idea of the raffle too, maybe even including CDs and DVDs and stuff, and maybe a table where you can bring and buy/trade stuff you wanna get rid of? Just seems like a lot of sense to me. Really looking forward to meeting some other BC-ers at this, I always seem to miss them!

This will hopefully be the last thing in my Spring clear-out, my Crafter BA580EQ 5-String acoustic. Its a beautiful and great sounding bass, I just haven't used it for about 2 years since moving on from my old folk-blues-rock band in Norfolk. Its in a tasty trans black finish with gold hardware, rosewood bridge and fingerboard, ash back and sides and quilted maple top. Seeeexxyy.... It also has Abolone trim around the soundhole, white binding around the fretboard and body, 22 frets, and is a comfy but not flappy 32" scale. The preamp as controls for volume, bass, middle, treble and presence, and has a battery check (useful) and mute switch (very useful) Its been gigged but its in overall great condition, the only two real nasties are a chip on the headstock and a bit of scratching on the bridge and some marks on one or two bridge pins, where some numpty couldn't get the string pegs out with his hands so he used pliers. (Me, tw*t.) I've show these well in the pictures, and there are a few tiny dinks on the body but nothing that will show up in any pictures, and some slight tarnishing on the tuners. I took the shots in sunlight to show things as best as possible. It comes in its own hardcase which is also in used but good condition, no problem with the latches or anything, and it really does sound good. I've had 4 acoustic basses now and this is the best of the ones I've owned, it records great and the string spacing is especially comfortable for those who don't like it too wide (its about 16mm at the bridge.) The only thing it really needs is some new strings on it. I really like the dead and dubby sound on acoustics, (I like to play along to reggae and DnB tracks with it and it sounds great) but a lot of folks don't. Apart from that its all good to go. I really liked the idea of having it strung E-C to really make it sing with chords and stuff, but alas its not meant to be.... Piccies..... Looking for £170 for it, collected from myself in North London (but I do also travel to East Anglia and Cambridge pretty rugularly so delivery could possibly be negotiated to those far away lands....!) I would possibly post if needs be but you know what a pain in the ring that is. Payment by bank transfer, paypal (if you cover the fees) or cheque, or cash on collection. Let me hear your thoughts folks.....

[quote name='et1058' post='795456' date='Apr 4 2010, 02:13 AM']Traben is reserved for u sir Apologies if somebody pops up and offers to pick up.... were bouts in the country do u live? Got any pics of that 5 string acoustic? Is it not a crafter?[/quote] No worries man, I know its a pain in the rectum to post a bass, I've done it plenty of times before and every time I say "never again..." Yeah the acoustic is a Crafter, not sure of the serial/model number but will be getting pics of it up later today. Its a lovely bass and sounds really nice, but just don't use it since I stopped playing in the folk-blues-rock band I was in. I'm in North London BTW, not too close to your good self I'm afraid (else I'd have had the Traben off you by now!)

[quote name='basskit_case' post='794814' date='Apr 3 2010, 06:56 AM']I couldn't do it to the duck, I took Bassman2790's advice instead, the bass has now been turned into firewood. As you can see the wife is very happy about it. [/quote] Your wifes hot, I'll give you £50 for both. (and you can keep the head-basket thing.)

Dave Marks MusicMan Masterclass in Essex
BassJase replied to Davemarks's topic in General Discussion
I'm gonna be there to say Hi to Darren, Chris and dave, and then mutter expletives under my breath as Dave plays, as I have several times before... Looking forward to it though, bit of a drive from North London but well worth it. -
Good band Pantherairsoft, loving the Apartment 26/Filter kinda vibe. How much is your E.P? And UrbanX, I was in a band called "Plan B" 17 years ago! Right, anyhows, I'm currently playing bass for Backyard Bully, a London based Rock/HipHop crossover band, but not sh*tty raprock like Dog Eat Dog or 311 or whatever, more like Run DMC meets Boo Yaa Tribe meets Helmet. We've done a handful of gigs in the last year, every one to a great reception, and we got some good shizzle happening in the coming months. Our vocalist Sus recently collaborated with the Mayhem-Dance group Terratron and the track got to #3 in the European dance charts so that was good exposure, and in the past he's supported Eminem and D-12 amongst others. If you're interested its www.myspace.com/backyardbully1 or www.backyardbully.com and here's the Terratron video; [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el0PcqQNnjA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el0PcqQNnjA[/url] Feedback appreciated cheers....
