Please buy it to stop me. [/quote] Good job London is some distance away from Liverpool - that is a rather fabulous looking beastie!

I just sold my Mike Lull P bass to Matt (aka knackeredjazz). Matt is a pro bassist with a fantastic musical CV and a thoroughly nice chap to boot. Was his first time buying on BassChat and the whole deal was seamless, from comms to payment to pickup. Highly recommended

I would go the 'Owning an Alembic' page here http://alembic.com/cgi-bin/alembic-club/discus.cgi?pg=topics and entitle it 'Calling MIca ... nut problem' or such like (Mica being the front person of Alembic and also quite helpful in my experience). Best of luck!

My worry is it looks like an enormous chocolate coloured phallus on the left hand side

Here's my bit of brightening up a dreary Sunday, a bit of classic 70s disco with a super-funky bass line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY0tsKCB4lc

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1384717226' post='2279931'] That's pretty funny. My point was that one can't expect others to share the same views and that's okay. Interesting that you took that as so c negative. Maybe that says something about you, doesn't it? But thank you for your constructive contribution. [/quote] I agree with Billy Apple, your comment came over as laced with vinegar. I don't think anyone here is dumb enough enough to think everyone appreciates their own musical tastes so why p*ss on someone's else's parade? As for your reply, it must be lovely to live in your world

done

Bump with some details. We will be onstage just after 10pm and have a roughly half hour set. Its a good cause as all the evening's profits go to Medecins Sans Frontieres' Typhoon appeal

Thanks! You can get the live experience too (as I see you are from London) as we are playing the Old Queen's Head in Islington next Wednesday, onstage just after 10pm. Its a good cause too as all the evening's profits go to Medecins Sans Frontieres' Typhoon appeal

Sorry for the OP's expensive troubles. I had no issues at all with Olivs apart from tuning stability. They play and sound utterly wonderful, the nicest strings of all to my ears. I now have Velvet Animas which do a passable impersonation and are less variable but am tempted to slap on an Oliv G again

[quote name='blinddrew' timestamp='1383933022' post='2271050'] I've got one of those but it really struggles with the lower two strings. Somewhat amazingly the tuner app that I downloaded for my phone actually works really well. [/quote] I have to rely on the octave harmonic with my E string and my Snark clip-on tuner

That pic makes we want an SG bass
