    Clue: Carter family were one of the originators in the depression era of what we now think of as country music
  3. Clarky
    Similar but nope

    Originally by the Carter family

    Cheers Kevin @wateroftyne will know this one. And if you were wondering the background noise is the sound of chainsaws outside my house! Trees being pollarded (good word)

    I did do a 'Bass1' clip on the previous page. If you would be so kind as to add the mp3 (I am a techno-numpty and have no clue how) pretty please?
  7. Clarky
    OK it was Five Thing by Prescott, for which the bass player is fretless maestro @Spoombung Cracking album, take a listen folks
  8. Clarky
    I don't want to cause a logjam here so will give it a couple of hours and then reveal
  9. Clarky
    To be fair its a bit non-mainstream so, unless the bass player concerned reads this thread, I will probably have to reveal
  10. Clarky
    And with that, here is a line from the opening track of a recent album of a BCer. Thats all the clue you will get Bass3

    At my laptop now, if you download my link and open in Windows Media Player it works. Apologies its so circuitous but SoundCloud is saying I have no space so this is best I can do for now
  12. Clarky
    Drat, said I was pants at technology. Back to drawing board
  13. Clarky
    ^^^ does that download work as it doesn't open on my phone? If not I will have to try some other route
  14. Clarky
    @wateroftyne you asked so here's an easy one, recorded on my phone so its a bit buzzy. Edit: apologies but to listen you need to download and play in Windows Media Player - sorry its so circuitous (I can't do SoundCloud for space reasons) Bass 1

    Sod it. Keeping it. Withdrawn 🙄 Thank you @leitnerjoe and @Spoombung for giving me a good reason to do so

    Hmmm, beautiful playing Kev. You are making me have second thoughts. Perhaps I should persevere with long scale for this particular bass? Thinking on

    £70 posted today is my best offer. Failing that I will seek a refund (unfortunately Sadler's Wells only give credit notes, less admin fees ...)
  18. Clarky
    £70 including post seems a steal. If no buyer by end of today I will try for refund from venue (they only give out credit notes, less admin fees ....)

    Have a bump on me for a lovely bass. I accidentally posted an unrelated link on here, due to fat thumbs, and then had it removed. So here's putting you back to the top!

    Hi there, I have a couple of tickets for sale for his gig at Sadler's Wells next Weds (10th July). Any reasonable offer considered! See here

    The Affirma range came in 4, 5 strings, fretted and (rarely) fretless. Beautiful things
  23. Clarky
    You are right. Kev Hopper took inspiration from the Affirma when he custom spec'd it (he also owned an Affirma at one point, I know as I bought it!) I believe it took so much work (detailed carving etc) to make this bass that Alan said he wouldn't undertake this again, hence this bass truly is a complete one-off!!!!

    Continuing with my long-scale bass clear out ... this beautiful piece of luthiery was originally made - around 9 or 10 years ago I think - by the super talented Alan Cringean (of ACG Guitars) for Kev Hopper (aka Spoombung, bassist with the wonderful Prescott and formerly with Stump). It has carved walnut facings (the only one of its kind), an ACG filter preamp, piezo bridge pickup option, and detuners on the E and G strings. Currently wearing LaBella black nylon strings so it can do an upright/Rob Allen fretless sound as well as more modern fretless sounds, courtesy of the very sophisticated Wal-like preamp. It weighs 9.5 pounds and played by someone with talent (not me) it sounds fabulous - Johannes Leitner of BC owned this once and here is what he could do with this fabulous bass: I am after £1400 (to include new semi-rigid Gator case) collected from SW London (south of Hammersmith) or post at cost on top. I have a short scale ACG Recurve which is a wonderful instrument. Alan really is a genius when it comes to basses and this is a total one-off. Specs here: American Black Walnut body with a Native Walnut top. Deep set neck made from Wenge/Bubinga/Flame Maple. Acrylic Impregnated lined Ebony board. Hipshot Type A with piezo and FB neck pickup and SB bridge pickup, ACG EQ01 pre-amp. Hipshot extenders on the E and G string. *Sale only, no trades thanks*

    Adam Ben Ezra is one of the most exciting double bass players on the planet, mixing flamenco, jazz and a variety of genres, often playing to loops. Here is a chance to see him live with a couple of other musicians, playing Sadler's Wells a week tomorrow as part of their flamenco season. I cannot go now so will accept near offers for two good stall seats (BB16, BB17) which together cost me £96 including fees. Edit: I can go but Mrs C can't so I have one spare
