    Ongoing neck and back issues forced me to sell both my basses over 8 pounds, leaving me with these two lovelies. A very mojo'd 1978 Shergold Marathon and a CIJ Mustang bass (recently acquired from @Lozz196 and with added black/cream/black scratchplate for a more punk/rock look than the brown tort). Both super light, both ready to gig. Just need to find a band!!!

    TBH when I first read crabcore,I was rather hoping for a crustacean equivalent of Hatebeak, the metal band that features an African Grey Parrot called Waldo as lead singer https://youtu.be/VwXKR9EWhXo?si=usx3SUCQS1Kl6r0Z

    I don't have the knees or back for it. Think I am going to start the new genre chaircore. Potentially stoolcore but that might attract the wrong types

    @three is a BC superstar and that's a lovely bass! Enjoy...

    Being sadly bandless, I have been scouring ads on Gumtree and JoinMyBand for a possible bass role. I am staggered by the obscure genres of music, the existence of which I had previously had no knowledge, for which people are advertising. Sludge/doom I get (Black Sabbath etc), shoegaze fine (MBV etc) but crabcore? Especially "unironic crabcore". Really?

    Me again! This time Marinus bought a 1978 P bass from me and all was as good as our previous P bass deal (but with no courier delays this time!) Enjoy!!!

    Would need to sell accompanying windscreen wipers for the bathroom mirror

    Met Lozz at the regulation motorway services car park to collect a nice Mustang bass off him. Had a nice, albeit brief, natter about basses and football (as you do) and realised its a terrifying 11 years since I last met him in the flesh for a bass deal. Tempus fugit!

    Lovely, light weight bass Lozz! Shame you are not able to post as I reckon this would be snapped up very quickly (by me for example, but its too far for a meet up unfort)

    I had a very uncomfortable moment when it started to fire rockets in my mouth

    Just received my tribute to Ace Frehley. A NOS (2007) Tooth Tunes electric toothbrush which plays "I wanna rock and roll all nite" while brushing

    Really enjoyed that Tim. To me an unholy mix of Cabaret Voltaire and Depeche Mode (which is a good thing) and a very arresting video. Nice one!

    Has the eagle landed @scrumpymike and how are you enjoying it?
  19. Clarky
    Or very near offer
  20. Clarky
    Yes, in the BC for sale forum!

    Mullarkeys tend to come as stock with Dunlop 45-105 flats, I believe. Same as Serek shorties. Those were on my old bass and sound incredible but are super spendy https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/dunlop-stainless-steel-flatwound-bass-strings/

    I spotted the post that the OP is referring to and found the local sale by googling (I was bored, OK!) My take is that this is like finding something undervalued at a car boot sale and subsequently selling for the market price - and it will only sell on BC if the price is right. My real gripe is that in 17 years on BC I have only ever sold at a loss, which says a lot about me!
  23. Clarky
    Great score. I had sellers regret and was seriously thinking about this if my 78 P bass sold. Alas, not in time. But great for you. You will love it

    Have played many genres, from death metal to Americana, blues to goth and even funk/hip hop. Not great in any of them, let's be honest, but solid and reliable enough to be first call for a Grammy-nominated blues rock singer over the past 15 years and to have been regularly gigging in all the coolest small/mid sized London venues (Dublin Castle, Half Moon, 100 Club etc). Had to step away from my goth/post punk band The InSect due to family circumstances at end 2024 and looking to get back into a band - preferably post punk/goth (maybe even a tribute band to Joy Division, Cure, Banshees etc) or loud guitar-based rock/metal. If that band preferred rehearsing on a weekday, rather than weekend, all the better. Better yet if in SW/W London but fine to travel to Camden/Dalston Ideally would be rehearsing once every 1-2 weeks and gigging once a month. Downsides. I am not a spring chicken (I am old enough to have seen Bauhaus supported by The Birthday Party and Bon Scott singing for AC/DC). I am therefore not great with Tiktok trends like flapping my hands and shouting 6-7. Upsides. I am solid, reliable, have good gear, transport and a reasonable amount of time on my hands, as I am semi-retired, plus I look like an ageing rock god (OK the last bit is boll*cks). But I do have hair.
