  1. I have recorded at Reservoir Studios with Chris Clarke (producer; also bassist for Danny and The Champions of the World and for bluegrass outfit Foghorn Leghorn). Chris plays DB so will be sympathetic to recording. Reservoir is near Finsbury Park so more NE London. If you contact him, please mention Clarky ex All The Queens Ravens recommended him https://www.reservoirstudios.co.uk/contact
  2. I think my major issue is that I am no longer comfortable with the Jazz body shape and weight PS in an effort to see if I can find a way to get more comfortable with this bass I swapped to D'Addario nickel rounds 45-105. Still not feeling right though after playing my Mustang. I can leave these strings on or swap for TI flats or D'Addario black nylon flats

    Mustangs!

    My '71 in action last week
  4. Band renamed Beneath The Roses after universally bad feedback (The Chokeholds sounds a "bit rapey" being one such from a teen son of band member; another suggested that its emblematic of US police brutality). New website https://beneaththeroses.net/ Will fix Soundcloud asap
  5. 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!

  6. First gig with my '71 Mustang reminded me of why I now much prefer short scale. So this beauty goes back up for sale, even if it takes some time. Incidentally, its now wearing Thomastik JF344 flats. £1350 collected
  7. OK, after further cogitation, I am not withdrawing this bass per se but I am in no particular hurry to sell as my cowpunk band may go 'more country' (TBD in next month or so) and as I am only willing to hand over (rather than post). So if you can meet me in London and are willing to come very close to my asking price let's talk. Otherwise I will hang on and see which direction my new band heads in the New Year!
  8. I have played this bass and it is indeed a beauty
  9. Clip from The Chokeholds debut

  11. Back up for sale as the potential buyer didn't get on with the ergonomics. Unfortunately I am without box for posting at moment, so its collection only in London (preferably Hammersmith area)
  12. After the sh*t show of the last 24 hours, come and take your minds off politics at The Magic Garden in Battersea tonight. Onstage 9pm
  13. Thats lovely Lozz. Enjoy the bass and the new playing horizons it opens up
  14. I had them lying around when I bought the bass but am 99% sure they are regular long scale 760FL. From ball end to start of orange silk on E string is 37 inches as compared with between 33-34 inches on my La Bella Mustang 760 flatwound strings. Reason being the long tail piece of the Gretsch
  15. Thanks Ben! Someone please make me a near offer and preferably collect* as I don't really want to sell on eBay (where I have had an offer) * I am currently out of boxes large enough to post this as the Gretsch hard case is quite deep
  16. Here's 2nd track, its a rough mix as the beginning bass line is a bit truncated. Will be fixed with final mix. Our punked up take on Irish poem Auld Triangle (singer Billy from Dublin and gives it his best Irish burr on this one)
