    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1368639420' post='2079624'] That could be me, except I'm not sure what a goatwhore is. [/quote] Fail on my part. Was trying to quote our dearly departed Anti-loco (or whatever his name was) who accused those without the highest artistic integrity of being clownwhores. Not sure where the goat came from? But I bet discreet would have a theory there ...

    Frankly, I find it hard enough to play in time and in tune (especially on a double bass) that "personaliy" doesn't come into it, perseverance and concentration does. That plus the fact I am a goatwhore
  3. Clarky
    No worries Al, I though the timing might not suit you

    PS, given you are in South London our gig at the Effra in Brixton on 31st might be more convenient for you? PPS, will not be using double bass tomorrow as I am spending the day at the test match and don't fancy bringing a DB into Lord's!

    Hi Al, its a late-ish one. We are due on sometime between 10.00-10.15pm and have a 45 minute set

    Rather than look at a slightly chubby white-haired man playing an Eminence (me, not you Keith!) I'm sure the fourm would rather see the delightful Esperanza playing an Eminence! So here you go [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15M62OtLrBQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15M62OtLrBQ[/url]

    This is a lovely instrument which I played in my former band Rattlin Bone and - courtesy of its convenient, pack-down-able nature - took on a brief mini-tour of Portugal. Here's a pic of it in action. It has been seen and heard in action by several BC'ers (Happy Jack, low end bee off the top of my head) [attachment=134836:P1040093.JPG]

    Would pair beautifully with the 1971 fretless Precision I have for sale, Jas Back on topic: another gorgeous bass, Si, from your loft of dreams!

    Paul bought a rather nice Jazz bass off me this evening. Could not have been a more straightforward deal. PM'd Sunday, agreed meeting place, handover Monday at a mutually convenient place. Only a shame we didn't have much time for a chat (I had to dive out of a rehearsal to hand the bass over). Echoing the comments above, a thoroughly decent bloke to do biz with

    And now I've just been lumped with a VAT bill and customs handling charge for £25 Kidding

    Keep us in touch here Kev as I keep thinking about guts/ gut-alikes. I now have Spiro Mittels on my old German 3/4 bass which are superbly growl-y but I can't help but love the old school sound. I don't slap though - its pizz all the way for me - so maybe I should stick with what I have and just be happy!

    Cheers Lee! PS, I would have liked the bass higher in the mix (I am a bass player after all!) but I have to concede that being lower in the mix probably allows some of the other instruments (eg, madolin, which I think is superb on this song, and the Spanish guitar) to shine, especially as there's a lot going on musically

    None taken Chris! The 71 is infinitely better looking but the band want an "acoustic looking" fretless on those odd occasions when I'm not playing DB. Plus the 71 is worth a lot more and the cash would be nice This summer its my daughter's 18th, my son's 21st (and I hit the big 5-0 and am off for posh weekend away with Mrs C; all three events within the space of two months. Ouch)

    Hey Chris, one of these (in answer to your question) [attachment=134632:fender.ae.front.jpg]

    I picked this bass up from the forum last summer and its truly lovely. From memory its about 10 years old (I will check s/n later). Nice weight (9-9.5 pounds), fast neck and lovely blue finish which could be sonic or daphne blue, I'm not sure. A couple of minor dents but really nothing serious at all (nothing through to wood). Its basically in great condition for a used bass. Super though it is, now I've got my 75 Jazz this is surplus to requirements. IIRC I paid £500 from BCer orbs and that is my price too. Its worth every penny. Post is extra but I could handover in London These are orbs' pics (hope thats OK) but the bass is in identical condition as I haven't gigged it (only difference is new strings - Status halfwounds): [attachment=134629:post-2944-0-80084100-1347569810.jpg][attachment=134630:post-2944-0-90554000-1347569848.jpeg][attachment=134628:post-2944-0-63564800-1347569798.jpg]

    Stunning and ridiculously authentic! Good luck with the sale Rick

    So ... Are they any good for metal? PS, dropped you a PM, wateroftyne
  22. Clarky
    Sorry but I thought my replies were crystal clear
  23. Clarky
    NO!

    [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368268819' post='2075099'] Is that including VAT? [/quote] Thats what I paid, so its net of everything
  25. Clarky
    The strings are $30 and postage was either $12 or $14 (can't remember which) which means at $1.5/£ it was about £28-29
