    Martin just bought a Markbass cab from me. His feedback speaks for itself. Excellent deal like all the others before me
  2. Best of luck Nige, unfortunately I have band practice tonight so cannot be there
  3. Oh pants, fingers crossed. I was a big fan back in the (70s) day. This calls for some Strangers in the Night (and my favourite - and longest! - Michael Schenker solo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0OatiI5XcE
  4. I have a MIni CMD121P as well. Its a good quality, very easily transportable amp with decent EQ and gives a nice warm sound with a Full Circle but is slightly coloured. At the volumes my band plays this does not bother me, given the advantages. At lower volumes, Acoustic Image gives the most uncoloured 'true' representation of a DB in my opinion (I have the Ten2 combo) but I find it struggles and loses that clarity as the volume level rises (and its not that loud in any case). I had an EA Micro amp which also worked well and reminded me a lot of Acoustic Image. I think there will always be compromise with amplifying a DB, its just a question of finding the best compromise that works for you and your band. For me, thats the CMD121P and for lower volume gigs I have the MarkBass 2x8 combo, the new 802 model (which has no EQ section, just filters). TBH, the latter is a luxury as the 121P covers it all and is not that much bigger/heavier
  5. Also I guess people's idea of aesthetics do change over the decades [attachment=148092:1970s-Bell-Bottom-Trends-for-Men.jpg]
  6. [quote name='ash' timestamp='1384091446' post='2272604'] This was mine at one point, it's a nice bass despite all the knobs! He bought it off me for a bit less than that but it's still a fair price. [/quote] No offence meant Ash! Can't help think the luthier who modded what is a rather lovely black/maple fretless could have been more discreet/clever with the wiring and pots

  8. [quote name='bassmasta2b' timestamp='1384038622' post='2272279'] Maybe a Roscoe LG 3000 ? [/quote] Hi there, thanks for the offer but I would prefer a sale or - failing that - one of the trades mentioned in post 6 above PS, thanks for comments Dingus and ChiliWailer. If you like a 1.75" nut width you will like this bass a lot, sadly my left hand just aches when I play it for more than a few minutes
  9. Couldn't spot a thread so started a new one. Adam bought a couple of bass books from me. All good, very friendly, quick payment etc. Nice one mate!
  10. That is a seriously gorgeous bass with wonderful provenance!
  11. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1383993824' post='2271597'] Lets Rock! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-ZEDNkZ2L4[/media] [/quote] Oh yes
  12. Sorry for now will look to a straight sale. The only p/x I can think of that would float my boat would be a CIJ Fender PB70-US, the 70s Precision with a B width neck (1.625") in oly white. Or trade +/- cash for a B-width early 1970s US Fender P in sunburst or oly white (rosewood neck only) or a Rob Allen Mouse fretless. A bit specific
  13. No worries, Jas! In the words of the Flashing Blade, its better to have fought and lost than never fought at all
  14. I bought this beauty from Legion (aka Jas) about a month or so ago and it is immaculately made, beautiful to look at and light as a feather (7lb 6 oz), which is great for my dodgy back. The one problem is I cannot get on with the 1.75" nut width and hence I am moving it on. Unfortunately the original BassDirect ad listed this as having a 1.5" Jazz width nut and I only discovered when I collected from Jas that this wasn't the case (he incidentally didn't mention the nut width in his ad and I just assumed the BassDirect listing was correct, so its no fault of Jas). Those who follow my ludicrous buying/selling history will know I sold my year-of-birth 1963 P bass as I could no longer handle the 1.75" nut width (long story starting with a broken left hand in 2011). I hoped that I could cope with this width on the Lull (especially as its quite a shallow neck front to back) but its not the case, sadly There are lots of photos in Jas' thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/214732-mike-lull-p4-gone/page__p__2241854__hl__mike%20lull__fromsearch__1#entry2241854"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2241854[/url] and here is the original FS thread referencing the BassDirect listing [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/214476-mike-lull-p4-on-hold/"]http://basschat.co.u...ull-p4-on-hold/[/url] Here are BassDIrect's original pics. Other than one tiny pin head-sized indentation on the underside the bass looks as if it just left the factory (it hasn't left my house since I got it and Jas' pics show the immaculate condition) [s]I am after recouping the £1600 value we agreed in our p/x trade or as close as poss[/s]. £1500 with handover in central London. Comes in a Protec Lull-branded semi-hard gigbag. Collection preferred in London area [attachment=147990:P4Top_zps82646d22.jpg][attachment=147989:P4Front_zpsb835834a.jpg]
  15. Hi all, short notice but we've been offered a support slot at the OQH in Islington a week Wednesday. Mid-week not always good for people but - as ever - would be great to see some BC'ers there [attachment=147968:1462781_10151792890269538_725434956_o.jpg]
  16. Lenny bought a music book off me. All good, as before
  17. I bought the Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny album 'Beyond the Missouri Sky' over a decade ago and loved it. I then completely forgot about it. Now that I am more DB-focused I chased it down again and wow what stunning, sensitive playing by Charlie Haden. No pyrotechnics just solid support play and some tasteful solos. Thoroughly recommended. Here's a couple of tracks (the second is the wonderful Morricone theme tune to Cinema Paradiso) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybm2AjzDYXM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwJKhdXlVTc
  18. Chris bought a music book from me. Quick payment, friendly comms. Couldn't ask for more
  19. Just ask him to listen to Bad Company, Bauhaus, etc etc Then tell hiim that if you don't add in slidey-ness, a fretless bass sounds just like ..... errrr ..... a bass
  20. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1383777270' post='2269133'] Only if you wrote them all yourself. [/quote] Damn!
  21. Thanks Dave, very kind Do you want to know 51 facts about it?
  22. Nice pics Tim. I reckon you and Waynepunkdude are vying for the biggest percentage weight loss in the time I've been on BassChat. You both look (almost) like different people. Can you share your secrets with me, haha!
