    [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1317582709' post='1392049'] Also, let's hear it for two DB players who died in their twenties and had already made a massive difference to the way the DB is played - Jimmy Blanton (24) and Scott LaFaro (26). Who knows how DB playing would be today had they lived to a good age. The latter died in a car crash ten days after recording possibly the greatest jazz trio album ever - Bill Evans Live at the Village Vanguard. [/quote] Absolutely. Scott LaFaro is my favorite DB player and the Village Vanguard albums my favorite jazz albums (I recommend the hard-to-find full unedited album with off-takes, interrupted takes etc). I even have the Kolstein LaFaro bass as my own mini tribute. Amazing player who revolutionised DB playing in only a few short years

    I have this combo and unfortunately have not gigged it so can't answer about volume. However, from home use I have no doubt it's mighty loud! I like the amp a lot, I find it quite versatile, going from clean to warm and overdriven. A great rock amp IMHO

    Gone.

    Clarky replied to Stacker's topic in Basses For Sale

    As I said a few posts earlier (and a few months back), this is a wonderful playing and sounding bass but its the CAR finish - with silver streaks showing through the relic'ing that really makes this stand out from the crowd. Whoever gets this will not be disappointed

    Larry Taylor - great DB underpinning of Tom Waits and also bassist for Canned Heat ... not to mention he apparently played the bass on Last train to Clarksville!

    Just googled and there's one on ebay for half that price - certainly looks good for the very modest amount of outlay and - as Larry Taylor generally plays Fenders - a pretty good endorsement [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170701174381"]http://www.ebay.com/...em=170701174381[/url]

    That was quick Nigel, and blimey its cheap.... $360! Albeit there's doesn't seem to be a shiny red one on the website

    Here is a pic of Tom Waits/Canned Heat bass player Larry Taylor with what a red Jazz bass that at first glance looks like it has a Sadowsky headstock shape but doesn't have a Sadowsky decal or the 4 pot controls of a Sadowsky. Thought it was a rather nice red bass! No other reason I ask http://www.flickr.com/photos/40826712@N00/5845016855/lightbox/

    It would be hilarious - if chronologically impossible - for the answer to have been a Ritter 'Eye of Horus' bass. Can you imagine Beedster's apoplectic face? [attachment=90466:4.jpg]

    Thanks for thinking of her - she started riding her horse again last week so recovering well - although she is wearing a terminator style sports knee brace! I honestly thought she would still be using a walking stick until next year so I'm very proud of her (she is very determined with her physio exercises every day). So all good thanks

    [quote name='stringintheshade' timestamp='1317314259' post='1389405'] And whilst we're in the eighties; I can listen to the bass on this again and again, preferably on a good hi-fi. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hn7bZOm9QY[/media] [/quote] I cannot tell you how many times I listened to that track as a student in the early 80s - was one of my faves way back then, especially the version they did for a John Peel session. Saw them live but only by the time they'd gone overboard with the African drums and was never the same for me after that. Any I digress, wonderful track and singular bass tone

    Dug out old Dave Lee Roth album 'Skyscraper' this week and particularly enjoyed this acoustic, hippy-feeling number 'Damn good (times)' [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mIP7ySBXBg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mIP7ySBXBg[/url]

    A don't-buy-this-bass-cos-he-doesn't-really-want-to-sell-it type bump (is that OK, Chris? )
  24. Clarky
    B5/Andrew got these from me (I put them up FS still untouched in their box when I sold the Bacchus Jazz they were destined for). He tried them with an Audere preamp (no-solder connections so wires are undisturbed) but then also sold his Jazz and removed them again! They cost me £129 plus £5 postage - ie, £134 - from Charlie Chandlers Guitar Experience (link below). So this is a >25% saving for some as-new top-quality Lollars that have only been briefly used and have unsoldered wires.

    Why not post a URl linking to a web image of the same model/colour if you can't get pics up?
