Wowee - my old CAR Nash J is changing hands quickly. Nice to know it's the object of admiration though. Didn't you have your eye on it when I was selling it in the first place Clarky? It's a big sounding bass...really huge tone... Nick [quote name='Clarky' post='674094' date='Dec 4 2009, 12:48 PM']Something else came up that I had been after for a fair while (richardd's Bill Nash 63 Jazz) so that, although I have agreed to sell my Oly White P5 to help fund my 72 P bass, I still need to raise extra funds to go some way towards balancing the books! Thus, bump for this lovely minty 2009 Jazz[/quote] -
[quote name='krispn' post='673487' date='Dec 3 2009, 06:09 PM']Although I sold one of these recently it was more to do with the fact I prefer the P Bass tone/sound. The DJ bass is an absolute killer bass. Comfortable, classy and a pleasure to play. In regards to Lakland they make a damn fine bass guitar and my P Bass is a lakland - bought from these very forums unseen as the quality of the DJ convinced me to take the risk - bump [/quote] Hi What year is it, does it have the Aero pickups and do you know the weight? Cheers Nick -
Bass is sold, cheers N

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='672883' date='Dec 3 2009, 09:39 AM']Just got my dream 1978 Fender Precision so I have to show it [/quote] That's lovely - the Gallery had a 1976 (I think) in the same colour and board which was a wonderful bass. Someone bought it before I could... One day...

I've come over all nostalgic - in July 2005 I exchanged my Black, Maple boarded Ray for a chunk of cash in Paddington/Royal Oak, London. I have no record of who I sold it to and certainly don't know who has it now. If anyone recognises it, let me know - I might even want it back at some stage if conditions allow? Here it is - it still had the mute adjusters on it when I sold it on the old forum...this bass has been to some very interesting places! [attachment=37543:Raybodyfront.jpg] Nick

I do miss my ''Ray - it was my 'record company advance' bass from 1994 and had a gorgeous, flamey birdseye, maple neck with a black body. I sold it to a very nice man through the old site who must be among the Ray heads here. Anyone here have it? We did the deal near Royal Oak tube/Paddington in 2005. Here it is complete with mutes! [attachment=37542:Raybodyfront.jpg] I do remember tweaking the pickup height to boost the G string. I also cut a load of tracks using it and it sounded killer, especially through my SVT In fact I've come over all nostalgic - I'm of a mind to post this pic in its own thread...would be nice to find out who's got it and whether they want to sell it back Nick

There's heaps of discussion about this phenomenon and possible ways to cure it on Talkbass, like here for starters [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180527&highlight=weak+string+stingray"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...string+stingray[/url] The upshot is that it is part of the way the bass is constructed, it seems...

Now I remember why I sold my Ray! It's all come flooding back...

This bass is sold!

Poor old Betty Davis - very much ahead of the curve culturally and stylistically...totally committed, filthy funk in that super minimal style. Love it!

****SOLD**** 1959 P Bass "Feeler" refin otherwise original
Cairobill replied to sixshooter's topic in Basses For Sale
Ooof....dark, dark board...nice one.... -
...I want one. I played the Root Beer 76 P in the Gallery with the most beautiful neck....Jamerson Jamerson Jamerson! Someday...soon! but it has to be sunburst/tort/rosewood...

I just wanted to share this totally amazing cut - 'Anti Love Song' by Betty Davis (better known for being the ex-wife of Miles Davis). It's a track from 1973 and Larry Graham is on bass. As slapping is getting a duffing up in another thread I thought I would be nice about slap - this defines to me what good slap is - dark, chugging and funky as hell. Betty Davis is one of the great lost artists of music. A VERY interesting woman... Turn it up and enjoy!

It was bought as a 'Work of Art'
Cairobill replied to Happy Jack's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I wouldn't bother, the neck pickup's all wonky... -
This bass is on hold folks... Cheers Nick

Maybe there should be a 'thumbzone', similar to those perspex smokers' lounges you get in some airports. - e.g. an acoustically sealed clear walled room where slapping takes place - the rest of the venue can then remain slap free. I am not anti-slap, but the 'saturday down the bass centre' clamour of Mark King, Victor and Flea licks competing for attention is a terrible thing...

Bump! New clips at [url="http://www.myspace.com/sharkpuss"]http://www.myspace.com/sharkpuss[/url]

I remember these at the bass centre in Wapping about 1986. They were very, very, cool. -
I'll stick a bit of doodling up later on.... Cheers N

Gooood morning basschat! N

Erskine plays a custom sonus with the a deeper cutaway for high fret access and the neck pickup pushed back towards the bridge a la the special. But basically it's the same thing! Here's Erskine in mid heavy solo mode... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gb3r8ox12M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gb3r8ox12M[/url]

that's a very sweet fretless. What's the neck profile? Stingray size or narrower? nick -
And a bump for new bargain basement price. Top draw sixer going for peanuts...relatively speaking of course [quote name='Cairobill' post='658020' date='Nov 18 2009, 12:48 PM']Check out Todd Johnson's tone here. Same ballpark on this bass...

Meyer is great. Check this out... Few people can make a bass sound this good. His intonation is staggeringly accurate and his playing is simply astonishing. Most arco in thumb position, even when played by really good players, often sounds slightly kooky and out of tune to me. This, however, is right on the money and extremely beautiful...

68 Fender P-bass, with relic'd OW re-finish
Cairobill replied to Clarky's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Did you get that off Chrisdabass a while back? Absolutely beautiful. I just got hold of a Bravewood fretless and am very impressed by how good it is. Nick [quote name='acidbass' post='655417' date='Nov 15 2009, 08:51 PM']He does indeed - check out [url="http://www.bravewoodguitars.co.uk/BlondeJtype60.html"]my lovely 1960 Jazz Replica[/url]. It's actually finished to a superb standard, and it has aged very nicely, similar to a Fender nitrocellulose guitar would.[/quote]
