  1. I am going to trademark a new website: Guiarchat
  2. To save you the effort: "Rickenbacker Bass Guiar(used To Be Alan Daveys From Hawkwind). I bought this of hawkwind ex-bass player roughly 5 to 8 tears ago I had a letter stating the I bought this of Alan davey its a fire glow rickenbacker Bass guitar,which they don't make any more but I,ve misplaced it somewhere and it was signed by Alan in the letter so if I come across it I'll put it with this beautiful guiar,there,s not a mark on this fantastic jem,it comes with his psyedelic warlords and tombstone aroma stickers that and hawkwind fans might recognise plus it was used on a few of his solo albums..sorry about the photos not doing this bass guitar any justice as they were taken of my phone "
  3. Description takes some beating https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154798317333?hash=item240ab2df15:g:Pq0AAOSwylRh5CE9
  4. Matt bought some DR Sunbeam strings from me and all was grand. Cheers!
  5. Prompted by this thread, I tried a set of DR Pure Blues 40-100 in place of my La Bella 760FLs. Initial impressions very good. Similar to Sunbeams (very, as in they are also nickel wound, round core) and more punchy than flats. May end up going back to flats, as thats my comfort zone, but enjoying these rounds for now.
  6. I get the original faker ban (although you may be right Jack that times have moved on in regard of their litigiousness) but struggle to understand banning FS/FT posts involving demonstrably genuine R***s, with serial number etc to prove.
  7. Its still policed on BC. I, admittedly somewhat cheekily, mentioned in my status this week that I am selling a "bass that cannot be named (think Geddy, 2112)" on ebay and that status was removed by the mods. As presumably will be this post
  8. Pretty sure this would sell in a heartbeat if you offered shipping. You can always buy shipping boxes, such as this one on eBay ... or possibly get one for free from a bike or music shop https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154590259482?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item23fe4c291a:g:RPIAAOSwnnlgm9PK&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAACoPYe5NmHp%2B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsStEKTPzZMfQmny3knR97t0LFv3q6YpTBbMqxbC2iYUFPsACMo9YTmylPZjqA16%2BGY1FkXWTK2cZ%2FEcqvWbW4mf7PDOAueOC6hi90TQj%2Bsf9EMKSbswril3qUIxUcWggzNL%2Ffh2GjpKi5lD6uNtxk6ctJhorqi%2BvmiRNdxZDD1r7W5%2BABEd9NJmdW8TBV5Efm2q%2FsoMtYia%2FQ3AT9ywQNmX9RQqtoKvqZwXU8vqmjTF2XklWLTba5p4WYK0dHqHwZHeS%2FNN35g8OMQgE6yEaVIztacOElobSDe3F2QNg9AJ8jT2kMn6ZgmHQRmrJ4I3TaUyVcj5UVIntMFxa2PvBWDSHjVEKSR765mvdHcifQgG0L%2FL5Z2LBCarYS4RBq5YOCMr3wUEcCw2brPOMsrXn7wV%2FSmlqMRZ8vBPy%2FMnDFkPCyvD7jc93MXVtSuzaPlWE2FMoLFjWNp0QhHnKe92dYgW%2FjMBHz0heYObQzZmcBozURKyEmAnnZOb9O9288M78eC5OFEmvlPNiL6koSD%2BI1jembkNbCMBO0bl9z8Yf%2BgeiM6HYMPZ05P6MBlDNMFVlmgLLJGqHB7G2FgTfzaFG4DiodTLZTBd6Y63ftdYQX6qXxi%2FB4KYRWXrsG0kyoDoRvyYYQzMXzAzWlNFhmcJxEd%2FcsvIq2ht14ZFRfpKT0KM8FMSQEd%2Fc97N1gRCrY%2FnZK76YkRjKmBvjbsP03qLfJnR23KjmZ%2BydkgIYw47P4cNtADZh3wNiXQPuCbZEl4wrM8gS%2FlzyiN3hpMPpHOwMWQwB%2BwrFK88jstEuXiCfq68tiL3shnq0diherUgVTpz%2Bv4YQ2prgv%2FdGwvsS1ycvPveQ%3D%3D|clp%3A2334524|tkp%3ABFBM1KmshM1f
  9. Just shortscale flats left: La Bella 760 FL short scale flats (same gauge as Mustang strings), good condition barely used on 2+2 headstock Serek Midwestern, £20 posted (new £40+) Dunlop 40-100 short scale flats, good condition barely used on 2+2 headstock Serek Midwestern, £20 posted (new £45+) If you buy the two sets together, £35 posted
  10. I play in the Wily Bo Walker Band but that's fine. Bo is a Grammy nominated singer/songwriter and very well regarded in the blues community. I just turn up and play bass!
  11. New reduced prices: DR Sunbeam 45-105 nickel rounds (trimmed for Jazz bass), good condition still bright, £12 posted (new £30+) La Bella 760 FL short scale flats (same gauge as Mustang strings), good condition barely used on 2+2 headstock Serek Midwestern, £20 posted (new £40+) Dunlop 40-100 short scale flats, good condition barely used on 2+2 headstock Serek Midwestern, £20 posted (new £45+) If you buy the short scale flats together, £35 posted
  12. s'what BassDirect ad says https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/EA_Wizzy_E.html
  13. Sold it as, however much I like the look of SG/EB basses, I don't find them comfortable to play. The TV yellow one was was a beaut for sure
  14. The drab olive reminds me of all the Range Rovers in SW London that are in faux military colours but in reality the owners are called Giles and Clarissa and their two children are called Charlie and Violetta
  15. Special run for Chicago Music Exchange (also comes in aptly named "Drab" olive green). Nice colour scheme. Link https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/gibson-usa-sg-standard-bass-pelham-blue-wtortoise-1351959
  16. Not saying AER, PJB and others (Genzler and Tecamp/Eich for example) are not good for DB, they clearly are! Just that they don't have very specific DB functionality onboard (notch filters, phase adjusters, phantom power for mics etc) which some DBers want.
  17. Not sure they are top of every DBers list when it comes to amps. Sure, their combos are used by some and plenty of DBers use Markbass combos. But in terms of doubling, notch filters etc, it was really only EA and AI
  18. Another vote for La Bella 760FL, which I have on my '83 Fullerton-era AVRI62 Jazz. Super slick to play (don't know why but they seem better suited to my Jazz whereas the LTFs suit my Precision beautifully) and great deep tone
  19. Although EA's amps and cabs work well with electric basses (witness the aforementioned Messrs Sklar and Jones), their closure leaves Acoustic Image as the only one internationally recognised manufacturer of amps for DB. Big shame
  20. Try me with an offer. PS, this remains collection/meet SW London only as I don't have a box of these dimensions.
  21. I think its a relic from the classical guitar and double/contrabass days where it was taught that the thumb should be behind the neck rather than around. Nowt wrong in my view with gripping baseball style, what ever works!
