    EA combo: there's an iamp350 combo on eBay thats been there for many months (£345 plus £15 delivery) so would probably take an offer. Looks in need of a good clean-up but thats all.

      Just realised the video won't play on my machine.. Hope that's not the case for everyone!

      PS the NL210 video does work for me

  4. First release from my new band The Chokeholds https://thechokeholds.com/soundcloud

  5. Guy Pratt's old R*ck 4001 - as played on the live screening of the Saucerful of Secrets gig from the Roundhouse - sounded great and IMHO beat his collection of Fenders, Bass Collection and Warwick. Sacrilege around here but there you go!

  6. I have an Items Wanted ad but not everyone reads that forum - so is anyone looking to offload a 4 ohm (only) Euphonic Audio NL210 Gen III or Wizzy M-line 112? Thx

      I am pretty sure I saw some EA 2x10 doobrie on a Facebook Bass for sale type page fairly recently. I cannot guarantee it ticks all your boxes and I cannot remember which group it was.

      Thanks Owen, it was a Gen I (the heavy version at 44 pounds - the Gen III is an old man-friendly 34 pounds) - plus a pal bought that very cab off the FaceBook seller yesterday!

      Ah :( But the thrill of the chase!

      "it’s been modified"

      Oo!  I missed that.  Have you told BC about this before?  If not, any chance of a topic about it?

      The brief go I had on it suggests that I should go for a short scale fretless too.  I am okay with standard 34in scale with frets but my intonation isn't great when it comes to 34in without frets.

      Erm that would actually help me play in tune, so wouldn't put me off at all, quite the reverse 😂

  9. Major attempted downsize with 4 basses now up for sale (SG, Mustang, Jazz, Bordwell).

      Happy New Year, Clarky :)

  11. My new band renamed to Beneath The Roses, as feedback on The Chokeholds was that it was too reminiscent of sexual violence and US police brutality. And that isn't good!

  12. Parcelled up bass to send to Belgium via DPD, attached customs documents in clear plastic sleeve. Bass rejected and returned to me a few days later, no explanation and no indication the >£100 paid (fully insured for a £2k bass) will even be partially refunded. Brexit, yay

      I sold something to a chap in Belgium, didn't get it sent before Christmas.   It'll be back up for sale shortly.  (Brexit isn't the only reason, but it is a reason.)

      Not good.

      My parcel also going to Belgium, but not a Bass, appears to have cleared UK customs but hasn't actually left the country yet (as far I can tell from the tracking). When I booked the shipping it was due to be delivered on Thursday (yesterday).

      Ugh. What a mess for you Clarky. I hope this situ rights itself for you. 

  13. Second release from The Chokeholds, our take on Brendan Behan's Auld Triangle 

     

  14. Small rant but when something in the FS forum is sold can the seller please type SOLD in the title. Would save a shedload of wasted time

      Nice one. Cheers Lozz! Seems like thats the one that is getting most interest, so hopefully a good crowd

  17. According to the BC profanity filter, our next gig (18th March) is at the Fighting pink torpedos in Kingston

      ...wonder what it does to Cockerel, or pink torpedo-a-leekie soup?

  18. Any BCers in/around Southend fancy some live goth/post-punk music action on Friday? My band, The InSect, is headlining. Details below

      Not really my wheelhouse Clarky, but if I wasn't already gigging I'd struggle down the road to see ya.

  19. Any fans of A Certain Ratio, post-punk funkster, former Factory label mates of Joy Division? I have two tickets for London gig next Saturday and cannot attend due to injury. Can transfer by email in return for donation (at your discretion) to The Dog's Trust

  20. Big thank you to @Old Horse Murphyfor helping me sort wonky jack socket on my brand new (yes....) Rick 4003S. Took jack plate off his own bass and sent photos to guide me. Top man

      You can get round that by calling them something else. My favourite term is 'clang stick'.

      Shame, I'm in Glasgow and there doesn't seem to be as much of a issue up here. If you'd made it over the border I reckon you would have been grand! Such a bonkers situation to end up in!

      Gutted to hear this Clarky, must be very frustrating for you all

  22. Greater love hath no man for a woman ... I have just sat through the first two episodes of the Sex in the City reboot. "And just like that" with Mrs C. This is not bass related but I felt the need to share my pain

      Update (because I know you are all desperately interested):  I was obliged to spend a chunk of my Friday evening watching episode 3. Thoroughly enjoyable .... in that it was a fantastic hour spent surfing the web on my mobile phone.
