  1. Dummy by Portishead What a fantastic album! A while since I last heard it. So worth a fresh listen
  2. He was also in Gong and played guitar (this may please Nige!) [attachment=135359:steve-hillage.jpg]
  3. I got this a couple of months back from BC'er chrkelly and have used it for a couple of gigs. Fabulous sounding and silly light cab but - now that I have my BigE 4x5 cab (imported from US) - I have my larger double bass gigs covered (and my Crazy8 cab covers small gigs and rehearsals). £[s]350[/s] 300 plus post; obviously collection/handover preferred in London. No trades thanks as I have too much gear already!

  4. [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1369255838' post='2087046'] Ah but Jack, you usually have yours truly to help with the carrying of stuff... [/quote] Read the post above yours Silvia. Apparently "all" the stuff
  5. Do you actually need all that PA gear Jack? I've never played a venue yet where they didn't have some form of PA and all you need do then is bring your own uber-light neodymium rig plus bass and a DI box. It might not sound hi-fi but the punters probably don't (bar the lurking BC gear stalkers!) notice the difference
  6. Very useful piece of kit for DB. More functionality than a Plat Pro and can be used to DI if you cannot bring an amp along or are having amplification problems (I always bring one in my DB gig bag just in case). Have a bump on me
  7. Oh sod it! One last bump
  8. I really don't understand how they can have received the trademark/patent protection. In the pharmaceutical world (my area), a patent can only be granted if its novel and non-obvious to someone skilled in the art. A requirement of novelty is no 'prior art' (ie, references anywhere to something that closely resembles the invention). None of this applies to the R*ck design currently as far as I can see. Also patents expire (20 years from application) as the system is a tit-for-tat, ie, the inventor has a period of protection/exclusivity to exploit the invention at the end of which everyone is free to copy that invention. Again, given the age of the R*ck design, how does this apply in any way, shape or form? I wouldn't actually be surprised if they would have difficulties upholding this in a court challenge but the simple threat of possibly huge legal expenses is probably scary enough for most to desist. Including BassChat Possibly also explains why well-funded "competitors" (eg that big German music store) are happily selling copies
  9. We book our own gigs, Ad, and its a real struggle. Only one since March, two in May and then nothing until July. Too many bands and too few venues ....
  10. Was there ever a better recognised keyboard intro? http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=fbFxzb-YIxE&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DfbFxzb-YIxE
  11. In case any Sarf Londoners fancy a night out on Friday 31st May, we are playing the Effra Social (next to the Hootananny pub). We will probably be playing a couple of half-hour sets, onstage about 9pm or shortly thereafter Be good to see some BCers there [url="http://effrasocial.com/"]http://effrasocial.com/[/url]
  12. Lozz is in Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire and is a top guy
  13. Guts typically cost in a range of £200 to £400. Ouch http://www.thomann.de/gb/search.html?gf=strings_for_double_basses&oa=prd
  14. Is this still available?
  15. [quote name='3below' timestamp='1368908789' post='2082999'] Do my bit for Europe by reducing the wine lake [/quote] Yep, its gone now
  16. Final bump. I guess its a bit special interest, as well as a fair chunk of cash. Its not exactly a chore to hang on to it, although I could do with the moolah
  17. Right now I need a fretless in my band and I am a lot more comfortable with fretted (so I play that at home for fun/relaxation) - thus I need to have both for now. If I stopped playing in a band, I would cut down to one bass (either my P or J) and one DB ....and flog the rest to pay for other fun outlets
  18. That's the hard part over! Enjoy
  19. I recently bought a sunburst 75 J off James and he was a joy to deal with (photos and comms at every stage). GLWTS!
  20. Installing a guitar strap with one leg. Methinks posh totty has SoH [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFwZTdZ6ibc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=SFwZTdZ6ibc[/url]
  21. Hi all, We will be launching our new album 'Hearts for Judas' at a gig on Monday 8 July. The venue is [s]The Old Queens Head in Islington.[/s] the Underbelly in Hoxton Square. Details and support acts in posts that follow As a reminder, here is our teaser track from the album, Las Vegas Parano [url="https://soundcloud.com/#all-the-queens-ravens/las-vegas-parano"]https://soundcloud.com/all-the-queens-ravens/las-vegas-parano[/url] And this is what we look like
  22. Nice venue and decent (if not very large) crowd. The soundman was very on top of things too, which was nice. Nice to meet you Tom (wwcringe) and I enjoyed your band (Penniless Coves). Nifty fretless acoustic playing too - you are a lot more adventurous than me with myroot-five playing!
  23. Been a few days type bump!
  24. Thread revival as I have just discovered the quite wonderful 1988 album 'Tauromagia' by Manolo Sanlucar (featuring a very young Vicente Amigo). Cited by some as possibly the finest ever flamenco album, its utterly stunning. Here are a couple of my favorite pieces from it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtJbUOiJfT8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj2Vy-2OmlI
  25. [quote name='wwcringe' timestamp='1368654831' post='2079978'] I shall be there!!! [/quote] Good stuff! Come and introduce yourself and there may even be a pint in it for you Tom
