    I do like the look of it and it sounds great too from the embedded video
  2. 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

    How could I forget the Damned? New Rose and, even better, Love Song (great bass line)
  6. 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 !

    [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

    Enjoyed that - great vocals and bass there Calum!
  19. Clarky
    Break a leg mate! My first DB gig was fab, the sense of achievement was amazing. Hope you really enjoy yourself
  20. Clarky
    OK, its completely different. But it is black
  21. Clarky
    Doh! Thats why I was rubbish at slapping. No hat Jack, on the other hand, has a hat ...
  22. Clarky
    Oops, your eyesight is better than mine! Maybe the most recent owner decided a bit of modification was needed Alternatively its a different bass
  23. Clarky
    Now this looks remarkably like the one formerly owned by Silverfoxnik, Happy Jack and I http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=2202&type=Bass%20Guitar

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1331657144' post='1576711'] I like the one with the Dubouchet duet with the red faced chap playing the banjo. Can't find it now but hope someone will post it. Mrs Crap DB Player said she thought he was possibly the scariest looking musician she's ever seen (the banjo player that is), and she's lived with me a fair few years so has met a few! [/quote] Hey! I had my hair cut for that video clip
  25. Clarky
    The Cordes Lambert guy, Nicolas Dubouchet, is awesome and the most musical slapper to my ears Here he is in laid back mode [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bE4jxKZdgE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bE4jxKZdgE[/url] Gypsy jazzing [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQTISGj6Qzk&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQTISGj6Qzk&feature=related[/url]
