    El bassissimo, if you please (I'm bored too)

    OK, Norwegian jazz time! "Topplue Votter and Skjerf" by Terje Rypdal, Miroslav Vitous and Jack deJohnette is a truly beautiful, haunting track (which makes me think of fjords and misty mornings, but thats just me!). But what really makes it is the double bass playing by Miroslav Vitous, which I think has to be my favourite ever piece of DB playing. Here is a link to a free (slightly lower quality than MP3) version. Just click on "Prelisten Track" [url="http://ligamusic.com/Lyrics/2943917/Terje_...f/download-mp3/"]http://ligamusic.com/Lyrics/2943917/Terje_...f/download-mp3/[/url]

    ^^^ This until recently, except I was very impressed with 51m0n's demo at the BassBash of how to beef up a bass sound in a noisy band context with a compressor. So I have acquired a Demeter compressor and look forward to giving that a try out when my punk band finally finds a replacement drummer.

    'Yesterday is here' by Tom Waits (my band Rattlin Bone does a cover of this live). Beautiful

    Not-bumped-this-in-a-while type bump Christmas offer £410 posted, £400 collected from central London. It really is pristine (you can double check this with chris_b who played it recently, I'm sure he wouldn't mind )

    I can't believe this is still available. If only someone would buy my Ferrari ...

    An in-betweeny would be D'addario chromes - they do 45-100 and 50-105 gauges (I use the former) and have higher tension than TIs. They are quite bright to begin with (you can even slap them) but calm down after a while and sound typically flatwound [url="https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/1284-d_addario_4_string_ecb_chromes_flat_wound_bass_strings_ecb80_ecb81_ecb82_ecb84_ecb81s_ecb81m_"]https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/12..._ecb81s_ecb81m_[/url]

    I used to have a rare one where the factory mixed up the logo - said Cap sLock instead of Caps Lock. Sold it to a Japanese collector for $2.5m Also sold another mistyped one, saying Cal Spock, to a Californian trekkie for $747,000

    Hey Nick, I use the Mono gigbag and am very happy with it. A good compromise between soft and hard cases, nicely ergonomic, and lots of storage space in the pockets.

    Oops, and another deal with Chris! Just bought his Bacchus 62 Jazz which is a lovely thing indeed. Another happy BC buying/selling experience with Chris.

    These are rubbish. I tried to open my front door with one and it didn't work. Call it a key? Fraudster

    I hear the new Fodera Caps Lock key will come in around the $1,800 mark

    Incredible bass player. I dug out my old copy of 'Livestock' by Brand X the other day and played it. Not really a jazz-rock afficionado but that album really hits the spot with me. Very atmospheric and melodic. The distinctive sound he had with the fretless Precision is the same as he had with a fretless Wal and now a fretless Ibanez, proving that it really is in the fingers ... not the instrument.
