    Try halving your budget and buy Beedster's Eko acoustic. Looks the part (very gypsy), big bodied and sounds quite DB-ish as acoustic basses go. £200 including gigbag and K&K pickup. Bargain!

    [sub]Bumpity bump. Afraid I cannot envisage posting for now as it would be quite awkward to pack (especially given the long-ish stand) and the lovely Mrs Clarky has pretty much had enough of hanging around all day waiting for Interparcel to pick up one of my packages (which is entirely fair when you look at the number of items I have traded on BassChat). So its pickup in London only I'm afraid[/sub]

    Cool - I imagine it will be a wrench after all those years playing a Shergold fretless 4 stringer! I really like the headstock on RIM basses

    Nice one Tim! Glad to have seen you guys play live before fame and fortune went to your heads

    PM'd you Chris' mobile

    [quote name='danweb22' timestamp='1323000181' post='1458042'] I did send a PM to Chris but had no reply, not sure wether there is a problem with messenger [/quote] I know from past experience he is sometimes on shows out of London and doesn't always check in to BC frequently. Plus some people just don't notice when they have PMs on the new website (the little red number top right is easy to miss IMHO). I think I may have his mobile number so will see if I can dig it out for you

    Chris Kelly in SE London (BC name chrkelly) - pro DB'er and very nice guy (although I've not had lessons with him) or I can personally vouch for lessons from jakesbass who is based in Surrey (maybe a bit too far for him but doesn't hurt to PM)

    Bump! £100 for a quality PA monitor with all the paraphernalia .... Or a very good head-height DB speaker

    Hmmm, not persuaded by the Aguilar for upright bass - not clear enough (great for electric but that's a different kettle of fish). Think I am going to hang on to the AI rig for the time being and put this FS thread on ice. Plus I managed to sell a couple of other items yesterday, which was helpful. So this is withdrawn. Maybe I should base my rig around this, per Beedster's post above, and flog the Aguilar instead? Not sure about that, so will stick with what I have for now.

    I know how highly you rate these cabs Lozz Hope all is well, mate

    [quote name='wesfinn' timestamp='1322947655' post='1457695'] I miss this bass. Hope it goes to a good home! [/quote] It will be kept in the BassChat family, Wes! See post one above yours

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1322945907' post='1457676'] Are you going to be using this with Rattlin' Bone? [/quote] Yep, the plan is to use this when I can't bring a DB along and on non-UK gigs (we hope to do another Portugal tour). Plus we are working on an acoustic quartet spin-off of Rattlin Bone members and this bass will be perfect for that. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1322946201' post='1457681'] Is the neck and fingerboard slightly DB like the Takamine or is it more guitarish? [/quote] Its quite like a fretless Precision neck, I would say. It doesn't have the heavy radius of the Takamine

    [quote name='Legion' timestamp='1322931156' post='1457471'] Not a bass I'm familiar with at all, I'll go look for some piccies - assuming I can filter out the inevitable ice cream results. [/quote] Here's Magnum porn thread (no moustaches) http://basschat.co.uk/topic/157254-ovation-magnum/page__p__1398903__hl__magnum%20fretless__fromsearch__1#entry1398903

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1322926017' post='1457381'] Is the Bruce Johnson Bass the one that was in the Gallery? [/quote] Yep, but I bought it privately from Dave Swift after I saw it advertised on his website
  15. Clarky
    Thanks Chris! Anyone interested in the Clarus+? Two channels, one for mic (or other instrument), one for piezo/mag p/u. Way more powerful/headroom than earlier AI heads as well at 800W (at 4 ohms)
  16. Clarky
    Nice one, glad to have hooked you and Steve up

    Joe bought my Barefaced cab. Very nice guy, all tickety-boo! Recommended

    Its VERY double bass-ish - quite rich and thuddy sounding, not much treble, and the D/G strings really don't ring out, especially as you travel up towards the dusty end. I practiced the whole Rattlin Bone set last night and it really sounds the part. If I wanted a modern hi-fi sounding fretless, then this really isn't it, in fact its miles away. But it is just great as a retro, low end instrument.

    Beautiful bass in wonderful condition for over 30 years old! Wish I could say the same ...

    Antigua looks great with a black s/p [attachment=94366:258wgpg.jpg]

    [quote name='BB2000' timestamp='1322855304' post='1456799'] Good call! [/quote] Hi John! yep, the Aguilar TH500 head through the Wizzy sounds superb with my Precision (very old school) and there's a guy on TB who I've discovered recommends the TH500 for upright bass. So I'm going to give that a try And Keith ... I feel sure there will be more trades at some point! If I ever get flush again, I keep casting envious eyes on your fretless 5er Wal!
  22. Clarky
    Did you ever try Kolstein Heritage strings? Steels but very smooth and lower tension than other steels I have tried, and a bit higher tension than Silver Slaps. Sort of like the DB equivalent of TI Flats
  23. Clarky
    I can only confirm part of your question which is that they are definitely noticeably higher tension than Silver Slaps. I didn't get on with the tension and took them, off my bass immediately (and flogged them)
  24. Clarky
    Will do! When I was last up on biz in Edinburgh I saw a Western Swing band, Stretch Dawrson and the Mending Hearts, who were pretty good (very good DB player). I bet you've played with them, given the genre similarity

    [quote name='Legion' timestamp='1322831246' post='1456373'] Ok, so I'm as bad as Clarky....and Beedster [/quote] Not that bad, mate Thats a rather sexy looking beast - reminds me a bit of a Magnum fretless but less angular. Very tasty
