  1. Same here, my desires are gone, I keep looking but I am dead inside, I know I have all the basses and amps that I am ever going to need so looking seems futile now, send help!
  2. I was never a big fan of the Clash's White Riot but loved everything (up to the final album) they did from there
  3. Derek Birkett played bass on this one, very much a Crass type bass line, another one to listen to would be Securisor by Crass featuring Peter Wright (no not the darts player) on bass
  4. It wouldn't be unusual for an interface to change over time how it interacts with an operating system, good old Microsoft have now made my Gen1 Focusrite 18i20 unusable with Windows 10 due to their last updates / built in obsolescence plan! The fact that it is still working to some degree suggests that a re-install might solve your issues
  5. Fad Gadget were hardly a fad and never a gadget!
  6. Sounds like the problem is with the link to the interface or the interface itself, the first thing I would try is swapping the USB cable, if that doesn't work, swap back to the original cable (as we can be pretty sure that is OK) uninstall the interface completely and reinstall it, if still no joy then try the interface through another laptop or PC if you can, hopefully that will tell you whether the interface is faulty, if none of that works, get in a huff, sweep everything off the table and announce, theatrically you are going for a walk and may be some time, proceed to flounce out of the house!
  7. Wow, I sold a complete one for £240.00 a couple of years back, had it up for sale for ages with no interest!
  8. 6 pages in and no mention of Stiff Little Fingers "Hanx" album, a perfect illustration of just how good this band are live!
  9. My mum has a lovely Yamaha Clavinova which cost her about £5000 5 or 6 years ago, it's an amazing bit of kit, it sounds and plays like a real piano but with the flick of a switch it will convert to silent with headphones out or output to the stereo, she was a concert pianist with a hand built upright piano for over 40 years so she was extremely picky about replacing it but she has been really happy with this Yamaha, I wonder if that might be an option as I know how loud a piano at full Rachmaninoff can be!
  10. CD's pah, I offer you vinyl and cassette tapes and yeah half of the artists are dead already!
  11. The Smiths at Dergate Northampton, arrived late, missed James as the support band doh! stayed for about 5 songs whilst everyone around me stood on one leg whirling Gladioli about, I though they are never going to take off doing that, left and went down the pub instead! Sisters of Mercy Rock City early 2000's ish, having seen them there on their first tour they were brilliant, this time they were dull and boring so we left!
  12. I owned one of these for all of about a week, I donated it to cat rescue after that, it was supposed to have been a B stock instrument which had apparently already been sold so they sent me a brand new one....given how bad the new one was I dread to think how poor the B stock instrument would have been! It arrived with the bridge pickup not wired up, an action you could through a blanket over and go camping! I wired it correctly set it up as best as could be done with it and got rid of it...for me this was a classic case of you get what you pay for!
  13. You might want to get the mods to move this to the amps for sale section!
  14. I am in, doing well so far, not brought anything yet, but finding the going tough, still Friday is only a couple of days away....be strong Rog you can make it.....we are only talking about a week here aren't we!
  15. Blimey, I doubt it will see at that price!
  16. I had the misfortune of owning a Rockbass Corvette $$ for all of three weeks, I was pre-warned that the control pots were not the correct value for the pickups so out of the box they sounded pretty ropy, boy they were not wrong, despite fully rewiring it it still sounded awful, I can honestly say it was the most disappointing bass I have ever owned. I later owned a LTD edition German Corvette $$ and although it was massively better than the Rockbass I still found it underwhelming! I sold it on, it was sold on again soon after and indeed appeared for sale again on Ebay recently! As @Lfalex v1.1 said if you have decent basses already in your collection I also think you will be disappointed with it and like @TheGreek I scratched my Warwick itch by buying a Spector!
  17. @BigJim I believe our Jim is offering a specialised instrument courier service?
  18. Blimey, the one I brought was somewhat cheaper than that! Mine was at least £1100 cheaper!
  19. A nice looking bass, a local music shop owner has a pink fretless that I played a few years back, a cracking bass by any measures! Part of his private collection so, sadly, not for sale.
  20. I saw them at the Derngate Theatre in Northampton on the No Parlez tour, I was absolutely blown away by quality of the band but especially Pino and some 37 years on I am "pleased" to say I still can't play like Pino!!
  21. I have exactly the same bass but in much better condition, it's a great bass but not a grands worth!
  22. A brilliant cover of what was a nice song originally, now it has some balls!
  23. Best purchase a lovely Status S2 direct from the factory, my worst purchase a Spector Legend Custom, the standard EMG-HZ pickups sounded really weak and the pre-amp has now packed up! Now awaiting fitting of a Glockenlang pre-amp and a pair of Nordstrand Big Blade pickups which will hopefully transform it into the bass it should be as it is lovely to play!
