  1. Tenor saxophone mouthpieces. All modern and in really good condition, always played with a patch and with clean tip and rails: Jody Jazz HR* 7* Custom Dark £225 Jody Jazz HR* 7* £125 Jody Jazz HR* 5* £125 SYOS Scott Paddock signature 7, in white with two ligatures, white and blue; tip guard, bag £125 Plus P&P £8.95 each Tap me up for detailed photos of the piece you're interesed in.
  2. *NB Sale does NOT include the amp or cables. Cab, cover and stand ONLY* Markbass STD 104HR rear ported cab. 8 ohm 800w. Weighs 22kg but thanks to quality well-placed handles and good balance it's surprisingly portable. I can lift it on my own and I'm no weightlifter. Quality RoqSolid cover in matching colours, no rips or tears, and Markbass stand thrown in. Those two are worth over £100 on their own! With my old pub gig rock band of two guitars and a drummer this cab handled any normal size venue space with gain set on 9 or 9.30, and importantly actually works outdoors where most cabs give up the ghost. Works perfectly and carpet's in very good condition. Someone has tried to fit wheels in the past and the holes are still there. Collection ONLY from near Diss, Norfolk
  3. Meta just slapped me with a copyright notice and partial audio mute for posting a video on Facebook (to just one friend) featuring nothing but me playing sax over a backing track I bought into. The tune was Summertime. Anyone know why this might be? As everyone else hates my sax playing it could be that Meta are trying to protect the public ear , but as they muted everything except my solo it can't be that - maybe the bot recognised the melody. The other thing is I've seen an unconfirmed post that Meta have recently taken against videos that feature music and a single unchanging cover image, which I'd done. Dunno if that's true. Can any recording gurus catch me up on what's occurring here?
  4. Sorry not really. It would be a huge hooha sending the heavy cab.
  5. Up there with all the other basses I sold and regretted doing it.
  6. Sadly I have no connections or reason to drive that far north. It is in surprisingly good nick for secondhand gear; in this case the pictures are pretty much spot on.
  7. Markbass Little Mark III head. Really good condition. Output power: 500W RMS @ 4 ohms / 300W RMS @ 8 ohms. Weighs 2.5 kg. All works perfectly. With MB LM bag, also in good nick. Speakon cable and kettle lead included. £300. Markbass STD 104HR rear ported cab. 8 ohm 800w. Phenom cab! With my old pub gig rock band of two guitars and a drummer this cab handled any normal size venue space with gain set on 9 or 9.30, and importantly actually works outdoors where most cabs give up the ghost. Carpet's in very good nick. 22kg but thanks to great handles and balance it's surprisingly portable. Someone has tried to fit wheels in the past and the holes are still there, but TBH it doesn't need them. I can lug it about and I'm a crumbly with a heart condition! £300. Quality RoqSolid cover in matching colours, no rips or tears, and Markbass ramp/ stand thingy thrown in. Those two are worth over £100 on their own! Fretless Revelation bass thrown in free. White, mildly relicked; Tonerider pickup, lightweight winders, softcase. Collection only from mid East Anglia (Suffolk/Norfolk border near Diss). No trades, thanks.
  8. Temp withdrawn but now back up for sale. And on eBay. But prefer to sell here, obv.
  9. It does, amazingly so for the price. Check out this Youtube clip done by some geezer (not me)- best bit is from around 4:45, after the gurning cat
  10. Active/ passive Harley Benton B550 FL Progressive Series 5 string unlined fretless. Light and very well made bass for the money. Bought and only played a few times from new, fully set up and fettled. Almost new Picato flatwound strings. Side dots on the notes. Easier than you think to play. The strap in the pictures is not included in sale. £115 posted or £100 collection from Norfolk.
  11. I was once in the London Bass Gallery and was invited to plug a bass into an amp/cab. What that was supposed to be I forget but anyway, I plugged into an Aguilar rig instead by mistake. My ghast was flabbered - the sound was, as you say nilorus, on a different planet. If I wasn't moving away from bass and had the money I would become an Aguilowner in a heartbeat.
  12. I have had remarks and 'jaco only needed 4' on playing a 6 at a blues jam. Usually unlined fretless draws a positive 'ooh' and an 'aah'. But yeah, four and fretted is absolutely the acceptable standard at our blues jam. Which isn't logical because 5 is so much more adaptable and fretless so much more expressive. But I guess logical doesn't always square with 'it's what we've always done.'
  13. Anyone noticed a slow down in the BC marketplace? Might seem a no-brainer that less free money around means less buying, but I anyway react the opposite, buying comfort toys rather than essentials when things are tight. I only ask because I had a reasonably sale-able set of kit at a good price on here recently that didn't sell after weeks. And elsewhere I've a slug of sax kit on commission sale and the market's gone stone dead.
  14. I had one of those. For me one of the look-iest bassess out there and not boutique prices
  15. Next week I am playing a new-to-me blues jam. I have two basses and I don't know which to take. My one bass is a cheapo Harley Benton active unlined 5 string fretless. It's new to me and I'd like to get the practice in. My other bass is a cheap 4 string unlined fretless P bass clone. I can play them about as well as each other, which is OK but not astonishing. My concern is if I take the fiver the crowd will be, like "OK daddio, now prove you can REALLY play that thing - or we shall deem you a posey pink torpedo." They may be a bit like that with the fretless 4 too, but perhaps less so. I suppose my position should be that I don't actually care what people think. But as a newbie at a new jam I hope to go to more often, I actually do care. And, no I don't have a fretted bass, which would be an obvious very safe alternative.
  16. The radio industry orients its music programming on the theory that we most relate to what was around when we were 14 ish... so my case five years each side of 1968. But that's bulwarks because I also totally relate to numbers /songs from whenever.
  17. With you all the way. Over the years I've had Trace Elliott, Barefaced, TC, Peavey, Ashdown... Then last summer I bought into a Markbass LM3 head and 410 STD cab. Great balanced bass sound for me, surprisingly portable, no issues indoors or out. It just - WORKS. My definition of professional. FTR, on the sound front for me EQ at 12 o'clock settings on the LM3 is fine in band context, but not when practising or on my own, when settings of 12, 11, 10, 9 and with the filters at 8 and 10 are perfect.
  18. Edited - I decided I was being a trolly dolly.
  19. Cut up an old plastic rail card. About .5 mm ish. Done the trick enough to serve, although I doubt I'll be offered a job with Fodera. I could have sent it back but I'm fed up with returning stuff to Thomann.
