  1. Lovely, light weight bass Lozz! Shame you are not able to post as I reckon this would be snapped up very quickly (by me for example, but its too far for a meet up unfort)
  2. I had a very uncomfortable moment when it started to fire rockets in my mouth
  3. Just received my tribute to Ace Frehley. A NOS (2007) Tooth Tunes electric toothbrush which plays "I wanna rock and roll all nite" while brushing

  4. Really enjoyed that Tim. To me an unholy mix of Cabaret Voltaire and Depeche Mode (which is a good thing) and a very arresting video. Nice one!
  5. Buy mine and have the refin as a backup,haha!!!
  6. Damn, was hoping you'd hate it so I can buy it Haha - no really, delighted for you. Its great when a plan works out 🙂
  7. Mullarkeys tend to come as stock with Dunlop 45-105 flats, I believe. Same as Serek shorties. Those were on my old bass and sound incredible but are super spendy https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/dunlop-stainless-steel-flatwound-bass-strings/
  8. I spotted the post that the OP is referring to and found the local sale by googling (I was bored, OK!) My take is that this is like finding something undervalued at a car boot sale and subsequently selling for the market price - and it will only sell on BC if the price is right. My real gripe is that in 17 years on BC I have only ever sold at a loss, which says a lot about me!
  9. Great score. I had sellers regret and was seriously thinking about this if my 78 P bass sold. Alas, not in time. But great for you. You will love it
  10. Have played many genres, from death metal to Americana, blues to goth and even funk/hip hop. Not great in any of them, let's be honest, but solid and reliable enough to be first call for a Grammy-nominated blues rock singer over the past 15 years and to have been regularly gigging in all the coolest small/mid sized London venues (Dublin Castle, Half Moon, 100 Club etc). Had to step away from my goth/post punk band The InSect due to family circumstances at end 2024 and looking to get back into a band - preferably post punk/goth (maybe even a tribute band to Joy Division, Cure, Banshees etc) or loud guitar-based rock/metal. If that band preferred rehearsing on a weekday, rather than weekend, all the better. Better yet if in SW/W London but fine to travel to Camden/Dalston Ideally would be rehearsing once every 1-2 weeks and gigging once a month. Downsides. I am not a spring chicken (I am old enough to have seen Bauhaus supported by The Birthday Party and Bon Scott singing for AC/DC). I am therefore not great with Tiktok trends like flapping my hands and shouting 6-7. Upsides. I am solid, reliable, have good gear, transport and a reasonable amount of time on my hands, as I am semi-retired, plus I look like an ageing rock god (OK the last bit is boll*cks). But I do have hair.

  11. Now £2,000 collected, UK postage on top (c.£20 at a guess).
  12. This is now up FS on eBay but I would much rather it stayed in the BC community. Its a beautiful, chock-full-of-mojo, vintage rock monster and - for most people - comes in at a good weight. The work SiBob had done on the neck means it has lovely low action and plays slickly (he said, avoiding mention of a popular dairy product). Would £2100 tempt anyone here?
  13. Reopening this as I have had a bad few days with my neck and I really should replace this beauty with a bass that weighs 8 pounds or preferably less. Also adding a few photos taken today. Happy to entertain very near offers on my price of £2200 inc. delivery. No trades, sorry
  14. The Ink in the Well was also my introduction to DT back in the 80s and I have never heard any other player since get close to that characteristic mix of air, power and string vibration on the board. Very funny and self effacing guy too
  15. Reverb has high fees (can't remember exactly but it's something like 8% or more), which you need to be aware of in setting your price, whereas eBay now charges fees to the buyer. I much prefer eBay and have also had more success with it historically when trying to sell on both platforms simultaneously
  16. Each of the three £182 pedals (OD, comp, DI) can be found in the Transit B pedal (along with EQ and tuner) for considerably less money, especially second-hand
  17. BassDirect hasn't added the weights yet, which I thinkare an important measure for those considering this model. But with the (seemingly) full body size, I doubt they will be much less than 9 pounds
  18. BassDirect has a couple in stock as of today (I think) at £3,299
  19. Want to help push for a UK screening programme for prostate cancer? Will take <1 minute of your time. See link here

      Thanks to all who responded. We got a whopping attendance of over 100 MPs and peers. Hoping it makes a difference

      The speeches. The patient Darren really brings it home why this is so important.
