  1. Lovely bass. Might be worth adding the weight, especially if its a light one. Either way, quite the looker and GLWYT!
  2. @FinnDave this might fit the bill for your shortie tryout and three is a tremendous BCer to deal with?
  3. Spot on Lozz. See here (some cracking music, with the late great John McGeoch on guitar)
  4. I know you had so much hassle with the Kolstein but I still think its cool AF and is the cherry on top of your modest collection!!!
  5. Thats a lovely rig, all set up and ready to go for someone. GLWYS
  6. Having had a helpful message about hand injuries from another BCer and also being told by my wife not to be rash, I am withdrawing this bass for now. Let's see how my hand progresses
  7. Just thinking laterally, maybe get a small pedal board, velcro on the Sansamp and an Ashdown Ant (or some type of small power amp eg mini Sumo). You can just bring the pedal board and bypass the power amp if no rig is required, or plug the lot into your BF cab if you need a backline? https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitar-pedals/bass-overdrive-pedals/ashdown-the-ant-pedalboard-bass-amp
  8. Apols to OP for thread derail. Bring on the bass faces!
  9. This incidentally is what I am struggling with (2 fractures and damaged ligament, which stubbornly resist to heal):
  10. A recent horse riding accident has left me with significant discomfort playing anything other than skinny necked and/or short scale basses. Hence this hard-to-find Fullerton 62P RI is up for sale. Lightweight (8lb 7oz) and plays nicely (well it would if my bust-up hand didn't hurt) with Dunlop 45-105 flats (my pics show it with TI flats which I can swap to if required). Best description and specs (plus loads of photos) are on the link to the FS ad from Andy Baxter, from whom I bought it (and for rather more than my asking price here ....) As I bought it only weeks befire my accident in March, it hasn't left the house. https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/1983-fender-precision-bass-fullerton-vintage-58 £2,500 ovno collected (SW13 London area) or will add courier delivery at cost.
  11. Its a Serek Midwestern (hand made by Jake Serek and his team in Chicago, as played by Tim Lefebvre, Brandon Boone of Tedeschi Trucks etc). Serek designs are based on retro basses like yhe Newport and Gibson Ripper. These are mine:
  12. For me, it's a mix of equal parts concentration (aka, WTF am I doing?) and unintended Jimmy Page pouting
  13. Spotted this on Instagram. Step aside, MDP, I think we have a new master
  14. Respectfully disagree with earlier posters. My fave Bond film is You Only Live Twice. Love the swirling Barry soundtrack and title song. As a fanboi (and being unable to afford an Aston Martin!) I have a sort-of Bond tribute car, a 1966 MGB GT re-painted in silver with red leatherette interior, phwoarrr
  15. Bloody hell. I bought a bass from him only last year (moved it on as neck didn't work for me). Great musician RIP
  16. https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2023/05/09/in-memoriam-rick-jones/ Sad news. After closure last year of Euphonic Audio, not sure where Rick Jones' passing will leave the upright bass amp world.
  17. Rob Halford. Power and incredible range
  18. 100% definitely not Sunbeams. As said above, brass ends and no silks. Might have been a returned set whereby the original buyer wilfully or accidentally put the wrong strings back in DR box? Either way, I would return them
  19. The bass used to be mine in the heavily mojo'd condition. When Vin sent me a couple of updates on the refinish I had absolutely no idea just how painstaking and exhaustive (and exhausting!) this process actually was. Looks incredible now. Tremendous skills Vin, hat well and truly tipped!
  20. I know we are not supposed to bump on a daily basis but this is very time limited!
  21. Any fans of A Certain Ratio, post-punk funkster, former Factory label mates of Joy Division? I have two tickets for London gig (at The Garage) on Saturday and cannot attend due to injury. Can transfer by email in return for modest donation (at your discretion) to The Dog's Trust
  22. To quote the glorious Spinal Tap, Sh*t Sandwich
  23. Any fans of A Certain Ratio, post-punk funkster, former Factory label mates of Joy Division? I have two tickets for London gig next Saturday and cannot attend due to injury. Can transfer by email in return for donation (at your discretion) to The Dog's Trust

  24. Mrs C confirms our matching was indeed from Habitat!
