    [quote name='theosd' post='870870' date='Jun 18 2010, 03:29 PM']Can get a new set of sunbeams for £22 from Thomann.. fancy taking £15 for a set?[/quote] I got a quote from Thomann at £51.32 for two sets earlier today? [i]Edit - they also said £29.80 for one box which is why I quoted £28 as the best price I'd seen for a single set.[/i]

    One set of the Sunbeams has gone along with the pre-cut set. This leaves two sets of boxed Sunbeams & the EB Slinkies up for sale. Sunbeams seem to be £28 at most of the specialist places so I'm looking for £20 each plus postage. I'd like £15 for the EB's (taking into account there's a couple od spare strings here).

    Although I'm up to 10 or so basses now I know that there's always room for more! On the list of things I'd like to own but are up in the very high price bracket would be a Fodera Victor Wooten: And an Alembic MK Signature

    [quote name='dave_bass5' post='869400' date='Jun 16 2010, 08:23 PM']Hampstead Heath is a really nice place, its just certain parts have a bit of a funny reputation. Dont forget to go down to the Bass Cellar and make fun of the monkeys.[/quote] Ah, the good old Bass Cellar, I popped in the other day to see how long I could be totally ignored by the staff. The answer was that the 'staff' didn't look up from playing bluegrass on a Fender Strat at any point whilst I was in the shop, I'm used to getting a surly glance when I go in but this time I didn't even manage to raise even that much. I wonder if they ever sell anything?

    I've become a complete convert to Elixir strings (especially the super light 40-95 set!). I discovered I have three sets of DR Sunbeams that I've never opened - one set are in a slightly different box to the other two but I did buy them all at the same time. They are 45 / 65 / 80 / 100, nice gauge if you like a standard high pair but want a little less heft for the E & A strings I've got a 4th set in the same gauge that have been cut for a 2 a side headstock that have been used for 1 90 minute gig. Although I know it's a long shot I thought I'd see if there was anyone out there that might have some Elixirs they'd just like to swap for the Sunbeams? Just being lazy really & trying to do everything in one go rather than selling the DR's & then buying Elixirs with the money raised, lol. Elixirs & DR's seem to be similar prices (maybe Elixirs are £2 more expensive?), happy to contribute a bit extra towards postage or maybe take some very low use Elixirs in exchange for the new DR's. If not then I'll stick them up for sale if I don't get any trade responses after a couple of days. I also have a brand new set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky in a proper 'man's' gauge of 50 / 70 / 85 / 105. These came with a spare 50 & 85 for some reason! They have been removed from original plastic cover but still have all the paper wrappings. Never fitted or anything, just picked them up with a bass I purchased recently. Happy to offer these up plus some cash for Elixirs as well

    Hey Rich, Might be worth linking to my old for sale thread - it has some different pics you could use but also a really nice vid link to a fellow BC'er playing some very tastefu Jamiroquai :)l

    The school hall is set well away from the street - someone would have to walk across the car park / playground, go through the front entrance into a foyer area and then into the hall itself. Can keep just one entrance to the hall open (from the foyer) - highly unlikely to get any people just passing by

    Ah ha, I wondered where this had gone - very nice bass

    Well, technically I have no less than four sig basses - All bought for very different reasons: Sadowsky Will Lee - because I really like the idea of a very narrow nut width & I can see that the mid boost switch would be very useful live. I think WL is a fine player but I wouldn't buy a bass just because it had his name on it. Alleva Coppolo Willie Weeks - quite a departure for Jimmy Coppolo to build a P bass with a pair of J pickups and his full active J circuitry. This was very appealing as I liked the idea of a P body but prefer two pickups. However I have to own up that part of the appeal of this one was because it actually belonged to WW himself and went round the world on a Clapton tour. Performance Louis Johnson Dragon - again I'm an admirer of Lj's work but not enough to buy a bass just because he helped in the design. Big attraction of this was that it's hand made by a great luthier team and this particular one is actually not a 'standard' LJ signature because it has an additional J pickup in the neck position instead of LJ's 'stock' design which has a single humbucker at the bridge. Traben Bootsy - no excuse at all for this one. I'm a huge Bootsy fan & always loved his star shaped basses. When one became available at a price I could afford I snapped it up, bought totally on a whim and hardly played but I like it a lot & it's the combination of his influence and crazy shape that I like (although I've just stuck it up for sale as I really don't play it enough & it seems a shame!)

    [quote name='Bloodaxe' post='865913' date='Jun 13 2010, 01:24 PM']I have [i]no idea[/i] what you're talking about. However, if I can blag a lift, the Bloody Explorer might make an appearance. [color="#FFFACD"][size=1][i](note to self: - draw the curtains next time)[/i][/size][/color][/quote] Bloodaxe was a comic figure in the Spawn series - loosely based on Eric the Bloodaxe a Norse viking character (or something along those lines, lol). I think also in other comics like Marvel's Thor etc

    [quote name='Bloodaxe' post='865902' date='Jun 13 2010, 01:05 PM']You've just given me a cunning idea... Hopefully more later.[/quote] You're not coming in full 'bloodaxe' fancy dress are you?

    [quote name='Bloodaxe' post='865895' date='Jun 13 2010, 12:58 PM'][b]I.D.[/b] Previous bashes have gone with a sign-in sheet & sticky labels with all writing on - seems to work.[/quote] Might look a bit cheesy but a label with site nick-name & then 'real' first name might help people to identify each other?

    [quote name='Beedster' post='865837' date='Jun 13 2010, 12:02 PM']Hi folks Many thanks for the above, and apologies for taking my time to respond. First session with the new SR16 (courtesy of Molan) this afternoon, I'll let you know how it goes. C[/quote] Wow that arrived quickly That extra 90p was obviously well spent, lol. Hope it works well Chris

    [quote name='molan' post='786337' date='Mar 25 2010, 10:07 PM']If something else sells then I'll hang on to it, lol. And sell, something else did [/quote] But then I bought another bass (or three!) so thought I'd better get the merry-go-round spinning again So, back up for sale at £1,200 - happy to consider trades for something of lower value that's reasonably easy to sell at a later date E.G. USA Fenders, Lakland Skyline, Musicman etc. I found a stack of pics of the bass as well - some showing the super funky purple lined case Apologies for all the Music Farm watermarks - all these pics came from their site which is where I bought the bass. Will ship anywhere but please bear in mind that it comes in an oversized case so it may be a little more expensive that a standard sized bass.

    Might be worth reducing your image sizes Mark. They are coming up on my machine as being reduced by 97% and each image size is close to 1MB. This means it can take the page quite a while to load on a wireless connection. Maybe some people aren't waiting that long Looks pretty cool though

    [quote name='dood' post='863898' date='Jun 11 2010, 12:23 AM']I'm watching the RC50 demo videos now Cheers Molan! Keep 'em coming! - I'll drop Josh and Steve a line too.[/quote] Steve is well worth an evening of your time if he ever plays live anywhere near you. Lovely guy & good teacher too. Here's some vids: Simple demo At work With Lobelia

    Josh has an RC50 & it's pretty cool - worth zapping him a note Steve Lawson uses one of these now I think [url="http://www.looperlative.com/"]http://www.looperlative.com/[/url] Maybe give him a shout as he's a real looping whizz & usually pretty chatty [url="http://www.looperlative.com/"]http://www.looperlative.com/[/url]

    So I have a yearning to check the neck stamp on one of my basses but I've never done this before. Is it simply a case of unscrewing the bolts & sliding it off & then screwing them back until they feel 'tight' or do I need to be super careful about anything?

    Just checking - is it now sold?

    Alesis SR 16 any good? I've got one I don't need now as I'm running a PC based app instead. It's in near perfect condition and cost me £50 a couple of months ago

    My Alleva Coppolo just came from the US in the single version of this - great cases!
  25. molan
    I've always thought these looked really cool - I'd love to hear what they sound like!
