  1. Here's our other Youtube clip - not really a video, lots of live shots set against a cover of the old song 'Speaking of happiness'. This and 'Rain on my foosteps' are our two slow, moody songs - we do more up tempo stuff as well
  2. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1144194' date='Feb 28 2011, 09:46 AM']What was the cameraman doing when he did that shot down your fretboard? [/quote] That was quite ridiculous - the director was very 'arty' and so for that shot I had to play the DB at a stupid angle (45 degrees to the ground) so he could point the camera down the neck! The whole video took about 5 hours to shoot as there were so many angles
  3. Here's a taster of Rattlin Bone - our new video and another Youtube clip, featuring live photos
  4. Thanks Barrie! Monday morning bump
  5. Here's Rattlin Bone's new video:
  6. Incidentally here is loz' FS thread with some more details than mine (eg, it was made in June 2008) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100561&hl=lozbass+Alleva"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...=lozbass+Alleva[/url]
  7. Thanks Jack, it was playing your lightweight, superb sounding '66 Fender Precision yesterday that tipped me over the edge and prompted me to renew my longstanding (but never-done-anything-about-it) search for a Y-O-B (1963) Precision
  8. I recently got this from molan (it was previously owned by lozbass, a man of impeccable bass taste too! Loz' photos below, if thats OK Loz) and it is quite the most beautiful Jazz I have ever seen or played and in immaculate condition. It was the last one fully hand-made by Vinnie Coppolo and team in his NYC workshop (numbered 48 on the neck plate) before he moved to California and introduced CNC machines etc. Nitro 3TS finish, weighs 9.74 pounds, has a comfortable B width (1.625) width neck (its not a skinny J neck), and a beautiful dark chocolate-y dalbergia negra rosewood board (DN is a rare rosewood, stocks of which are no longer available, so I am told). It plays very slickly with very low action (ask the previous owners or Happy Jack, who played it yesterday) and has a huge range of tones from fully passive Jazz through to various active tones (controls are V/V/T, treble boost, bass boost; the second V control pulls up for passive mode). Comes protected in a Hiscox case. Reason for selling: I have re-appraised what I need in basses (again and am going the traditionalist route) and I really want a year-of-birth (1963) Fender Precision, in Olympic white or 3 colour sunburst, and this sale will hopefully fund that (or at least most of it) I am after £2850 - which is the trade value molan and I agreed - or of course a trade against a '63P in oly white (long shot!). BTW, I will be travelling a lot on business this week and next so may not always be able to answer PMs quickly. Would prefer to hand over in person but will ship (given my travelling I will not always be around to package it up immediately).

  9. My old Sid! Should shift fast Dan as there was tons of interest when I last sold it
  10. Hi there. great combo but you need to state a price and it would help if you said where the item is located (I assume from the mixed language it's not in the UK! )
  11. Wow, Nick, that looks utterly beautiful! lovely upgrades there
  12. [quote name='lettsguitars' post='1142029' date='Feb 26 2011, 02:41 AM']all fenders stink![/quote] Helpful comment in a for sale thread Good luck with the sale Wes. I love my Fenders and this one looks a cracker
  13. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1141852' date='Feb 25 2011, 09:44 PM']Well, FWIW... I would pay to see that. Someone buy this damn caps lock key. Once I shift it, I'm buying me a TC head. They're flavour of the month, you know.[/quote] I can offer this TC head. Any good? I'll be in the dustbin if you want to trade [attachment=73228:TOP_CAT_...PRESSION.jpg]
  14. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1141839' date='Feb 25 2011, 09:37 PM']Ah.. in a band that plays original material, are you? Or jazz?[/quote] voodoo swamp blues says it all, really
  15. I can't believe this is still here. I'll take when I next get paid. 2017
  16. [quote name='Low End Bee' post='1140880' date='Feb 25 2011, 09:48 AM']Exactly. Bit of a silly thread.[/quote] Yep, much like the recent Peter Hook thread (and dozens before it on Mark King, Flea, Victor Wooten, Hadrien Feraud , blah, blah)
  17. Well you can ask him via PM as elsharko is a BC'er and the bass is also for sale on this very forum [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=122952&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=122952&hl=[/url]
  18. Jaco had different tones at different stages of his career - the sound on Heavy Weather is very rich, in my view (think Havona and Remark You Made), but in his later years (the countless live albums, the albums he made with Brian whats-his-name-drummer and with Bireli Lagrene) it became more staccato and abrasive in my view and not pleasant to listen to
  19. Here's a link [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=90264&hl=gloves"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...4&hl=gloves[/url]
  20. PM silddx (also known as Nigel) - he is BassChat's resident glove-wearer and standard bearer!
  21. Update: we have been switched to first on stage (maybe for soundcheck reasons as there are 10 or so of us in the band), means we are on stage at [b]8.30pm.[/b] PS, thanks for kind comments papillionlrl! PPS, final mix of album finished today so once artwork sorted will be released as a CD
  22. I am down to 4 (have been up to 6) and want to get it down to three - a Precision, a Jazz and a fretless Precision. Have got a nice '71 Precision (actually has a J p/up as well), a Seafoam green Bacchus Jazz (which I banned from selling by the Mrs as she likes the colour!) and a Tony Franklin fretless. Not sure where that leaves my uber-pricey, beautifully made Alleva Coppolo LG4 Jazz, especially given financial circumstances (watch this space)
