  1. Sorry, the G silk is cut to about 4 inches which is too short for a 4 in line J
  2. For those who posted unsmiley responses to my suggestions re: Don't look back in Anger and Everybody needs somebody, its maybe not the song so much as their amazing power to cause a headlong rush to the dance floor from lagered-up lads (who normally prefer to booze rather than dance), knocking everyone aside, leaving a trail of death and destruction and lots of bro-hugging.
  3. Wow, that is so aligned with my view, Their first album 'Signing Off' was, in my view, stupendous ( several fab songs eg Tyler, King etc) but they quickly dissolved into utterly dreadful, commercial (as another BCer described it) cod reggae
  4. Don't look back in anger Everybody needs somebody (actually anything by the Blues Brothers)
  5. Bought a Sansamp from Edward. Great comms and the pedal was exactly as described. All good!
  6. Sold a bass to John. There was a technical issue which we sorted out and he was a gent throughout. Would happily recommend 🙂
  7. Just bought a rather lovely old Hofner 500/1 bass from Jamie. Top class transaction from start to finish. Very happy. Thanks Jamie!
  8. Assuming that's a reply to Andy Trav and your block function is in full force, lol!
  9. Thanks Kev, but I already have the more basic, fewer knobs (Sansamp) replacement on its way. Afraid its cash sale only.
  10. Aaaarrggh, I can envisage Bono singing this with sunglasses and cans on, in front of assembled 1980/90s pop stars
  11. Realising my one dusty picture was a bit rubbish, here's some taken today in the sunshine to give a better representation of the excellent condition

  13. @Rich are you able to make Alice aware of this thread, so she can read the comments and tributes from fellow BCer's? Nick was well liked and respected on the forum and I would imagine she would appreciate seeing this?
  14. Bought a nice pedal off Dan and all was ticket-boo, fine and dandy and so on. Very happy, many thanks Dan!
  15. La Bella Low Tension Flats that were briefly on my now-departed short scale Serek Midwestern bass last year and sat in drawer ever since. Trimmed for 2+2 headstock. Very good condition, bar slight fuzzing of silks. Will last for years. I have lost official packaging (I have an old long scale LTF sleeve, as shown on photo) but they will be well packed. New price at Andertond is £55. How about £30 posted?
  16. Dunlop flats bought on the forum some time ago for a Fender shaped object (ie 4 in line headstock). Can't find the details but fairly sure they are 45-105 gauge. Fair, rather than very good, used condition with years of life left. No official packaging but will be well packed. How about £23 posted, which compares with eye watering new price of around £75?
  17. Light gauge Chrome flats bought in January for £50 to try out on my Ric. Trimmed for 2+2 headstock accordingly. Stayed on the bass only for a few days (and a few hour's playing time). I have lost the official packaging but they will be safely packed. How about £28 posted, a little over half price?
  18. I bought these brand new (for £35) to instal on a string-through-body Fender Jazz bass and trimmed the E, A and D accordingly. After less than a day (and no more than a couple of hours' playing time), off they came to be replaced by my tried-and-tested TI Jazz flats. How about one-third off, so £23 posted?
  19. I believe they are high quality lookalikes and have a FaceBook page. Not something we would of course buy or sell on BassChat, given the history which we don't need to go into
  20. Thanks Karl, I am cognizant of the fact there would be a lot to do to restore this - replacement wavy tuners (very spendy and hard to get hold of), new scratchplate, replacement 70s style bridge pickup etc. Hopefully at this price, this makes allowance for a possible resto job. The accompanying box of replacement pickups and parts (Retrovibe etc) could also be sold off piecemeal to help defray the outlay a little. Alternatively, it sounds pretty damn good to my ears and I think looks v cool, as is!
  21. Just to prove this bass works! This is a small bit of last week's gig. Its a YT video ehich we haven't edited yet so I took a quick camera video of it, excuse the reflections and poor quality. Gives you a sense though 20240320_110638.mp4
