    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1332028496' post='1582412'] Strange, because I seem to be able to make all basses sound like me. [/quote] I have an uncanny ability to sound like Les Dawson's piano playing, what ever bass I have in my hands

    I'm getting a clear picture here, Marvin S and Keith! Maybe I was barking up the wrong tree with the Ten2. Bear in mind that I would be carrying the Takamine acoustic bass (B10) not the DB on the train so it probably is do-able. But nevertheless if its heavy-ish and awkward shaped, its probably not what I am after. Thanks for your comments gents.

    Headless basses. Just look ugly to me and the tuners behind the bridge look like a drunk (or someone 'avin a larf) designed the whole thing

    There's a Korean "cheaper" version at $1500 http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2012/03/12/warwick-introduces-jack-bruce-artist-series-bass/

    [quote name='deaver' timestamp='1332003437' post='1582013'] Alembic Spoiler, bought off Clarky but in the end I had to sell. Many thanks to George Osborne for that one, never mind I suppose my gold-plated pension will let me buy a new one. [/quote] That was a wonderful bass which I sold because it didn't fit the vibe of my then-punk band. I'd have it back in a heartbeat too, now

    I do like the look of it and it sounds great too from the embedded video
  8. Clarky
    That's a gorgeous thing - shame you are being forced to sell by circumstances but I guess the Roscoe Beck has become your favourite gigging bass

    The spec sheet says it's 32 pounds which sounds OK, but then I guess a lot depends on how it is carried (where handles are etc). Most of the time it wouldn't be public transport ... but the rehearsal venue for my new band is out of the way in SE London and I won't always have the car available to me on those days. So it would be very occasionally that I would be on trains etc

    Just to be a bit more explicit, I would throw in £300 cash on top for the trade if the combo was in vgc
  11. Clarky
    How could I forget the Damned? New Rose and, even better, Love Song (great bass line)
  12. Clarky
    A selection of Clash, Ramones, Pistols, Stranglers and some more left-field ones (eg, some Buzzcocks and Magazine) and you are sorted. Too many songs to mention but I'd defo have London Calling as the opener

    [quote name='marvin spangles' timestamp='1331979014' post='1581594'] Hey Clarky Why.not get yourself a Ten ex and keep your amp. It amounts to pretty much the same thing. [/quote] hi there, it's something I had thought about but the advantages of the combo are easier portability (important if I have to use London transport) plus the head pops out if you need to use a different cab. When I last contacted AI Europe they had no combo conversion kits (which was the first option I investigated) as they are introducing a new series (IV I think)

    Just a quick thank you to everyone for your kind words Now I'd better not f*ck up the gig next Friday at the Hootananny... so some serious learning to be done!

    I have the Clarus+ two-channel head which goes to 800w at 2 ohms and sounds fantastic with DB. Its in vgc. I would love to have the exact same head in a loud combo, ie, the Ten2 combo. Does anyone fancy trading their Ten2 for my amp, perhaps someone that wants a more modular system to match the amp with different cabs? There would be cash your way of course given the difference in value. Expecting to draw a blank here but you never know!

    Sold !

    Clarky replied to UK Ken's topic in Basses For Sale

    [quote name='UK Ken' timestamp='1331919755' post='1580979'] I would have the Dirty Blonde back, but I was looking for something different. [/quote] I hope Mrs UK Ken doesn't read this Oh, and a bump for a nice bass

    Just received a GK MB200 combo from David. All as described and fabulously well packed! All good, like the comments above. Cheers David

    You have a beautiful bass there (which I can't afford). Just a thought but some Wals have gone for silly money on eBay recently (one Mk 1 went for over £3k earlier this week) - have you thought about trying that route?

    If you check the Double bass for sale forum you will find that jezyorkshire has a combo for sale at £550. They are superb for double bass

    Paul sent me a Rev Solo pickup for my DB. All as descriibed and nicely packed. Many thanks Paul PS, Paul is a mighty fine slapper of the DB and can be plied with Chianti for a lesson

    This is them recently, sans bass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BIzJjnXTgo And with their old bass player (who has gone to Australia to be musical director of an orchestra in Sydney) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLPuCpXlLo8&feature=related

    After the disappointment of leaving Rattlin Bone, I took stock for a couple of weeks and then spotted an ad on Gumtree for a really eclectic band that mixes folk, blues, country and flamenco with two quite incredible lady singers. The band is called All The Queens Ravens. They have a six-track EP out with all of the tracks on Soundcloud (link below). Anyways, I auditioned last night, played pretty well, got on with the band, and was offered the role. The advert was for a double bass player but it looks like I will be using my Takamine B10 acoustic bass as the band really loved its gypsy vibe (I auditioned with both instruments). First gig is at the Hootananny in Brixton a week tomorrow (Friday 23 March). I am VERY excited about this http://soundcloud.com/all-the-queens-ravens

    Break a leg mate! My first DB gig was fab, the sense of achievement was amazing. Hope you really enjoy yourself
