[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1387711635' post='2314742'] Can you post a pic without the ashtrays? Ta. [/quote]voila [attachment=150810:10672195165_c68b76a637.jpg][attachment=150811:10672200505_d2d9972a01.jpg] -
Owen you could always nip over to music-outlet-shop to pick up this fixer-upper bargain http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50s-FRAMUS-TRIUMPH-UPRIGHT-ELECTRIC-BASS-/121223651642?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c397e213a Or maybe not

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50s-FRAMUS-TRIUMPH-UPRIGHT-ELECTRIC-BASS-/121223651642?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c397e213a Just missing all hardware, bridge, electronics .... err, its basically little more than a plank of wood!

Bargain price for a superb DB combo, bearing in mind the amp head (which is removable) will run you more than that alone. Price list here (the 2-channel combo is now about £1500!): http://www.acousticimg.eu/AI_UK_RETAIL_PRICE.pdf -

I recently traded this with Nick (my damaged left hand needed a slimmer Jazz type neck profile). It is a stunner and looks like it left the factory last week, not nearly 20 years ago, and has superb upgrades (with original bridge and pickup should you wish to restore to stock). Highly recommended -
I have recently been listening to 'The Geese and the Ghost' by Anthony Phillips, the pre-Hacket guitarist for Genesis and its a great reminder how important he was to setting the tone for early 70s Genesis as well as a virtual-Genesis album (Mike Rutherford co-wrote quite a bit of it and plays on it, vox are by Phil Collins). If you like Trespass and Nursery Cryme this will be right up your street Here's a nice YouTube compilation of the album plus extras: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EffLIs0PpKU[/media]

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1387529342' post='2312892'] Both my RB5s weighed roughly 5Kg which is why I sold'em. Agreed that they balance well, but balance will only get you so far. Eventually, physics kicks in ... [/quote] wot does say it weighs c8.5 pounds which is pretty light in my book

Fortunately I believe our Roger is on the road to recovery Happy Chrimble to the BassChat DB massive from me. Definitely the friendliest part of the forum IMHO

I've owned a couple of lovely Mk 1 fretlesses (Happy Jack now has one of them) and these were a delight. I wasn't so impressed with a fretted Mk 2 I owned and quickly sold on as the neck was not for me (V-shaped and very deep) and it was too heavy for my dodgy back

Hey Lenny, would love to be there but its my son's 16th birthday do that evening. Hope its a blast and do keep us in touch with any trumphal follow-up dates

Surely the punters must also think they are too loud? If you can get some comments from the crowd then that should help persuade your guys to turn down. The alternatives are to get a mag pickup (no feedback; make the guitarists split the cost between them) or to pack up and find another band. I'd be inclined to find out what the audience thinks first though

I use that Snark model too, very nifty tuner although occasioally I do have to hit the harmonic on the E string to tune my DB

Another dodgy deal in Travelodge car park. Security cameras must be buzzing! Actually, we just traded a couple of nice Fender basses and all was good, per my previous (multiple) dealings with Nick

Trraded so please lock this thread, mods

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1386955639' post='2306842'] A trade? Clarky, your head is so easily turned by a pretty picture [/quote] Something Jazz shaped incoming Karl - at least I know I can deal with a 1.5" nut width (oo err, missus)

Possible trade pending

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1386932091' post='2306498'] oo this is a lovely bass! I've got one of the recent MIM cabronita's and that's pretty good but this looks 'special'!! [/quote] Thanks Andy, these are also hard to get hold of new. The usual suspects (GAK etc) don't have stock and the main Fender Japan importer (The Guitar Emporoium) lists them at £1159! http://www.theguitaremporium.com/Fender-Japan-OPB51-SD-FJ-OPB51-SD.htm MIne is not only in superb condition but has choice of original bridge and pickup or improved versions (see AndyBob07's FS post, linked above, for details)

OK, refine that. All BCers with whom I have done biz apart from Old Horse Murphy for whom there is a £50 premium
-
bump! One day £50-off offer to any BC-er with whom I have previously done business So thats £500 collected or £525 posted if I have given you some feedback in the past
-
Andy bought a double bass string off me. All good! Can't believe there is no feedback thread for him, so I'm starting one
