It`s rather cheap compared to the Cliff Williams sig from a few years back. Weren`t they £5 grand plus? I can`t afford it but it`s a lovely looking bit of kit, good on you if you can get a hold of one.

My mob is in there next week Dave and as we were only booked a week ago we haven`t had much time to push the gig. Hope folk turn up!

Anyone use this patch live?

No it`s just a cash grab to pay for Noel`s no doubt very expensive divorce. Not knocking him by the way, I like Oasis and Noel`s solo stuff but sod paying that kind of money to see any band.

Just watched a bit of Rod. I like the guy but I`m thinking it`s time to knock it on the head. He made a right bollox on Maggie Mae and his voice sounds quite weak. And yes I do know the guy is 80 but there comes a time...

Now that`s how to advertise a bass.

On a slightly related topic, I have just sold my 17kg Rumble 500 combo and bought a Markbass 4 x 10 that weighs 16kg and a Laney Digbeth 500 head to go with it. Where is the smug emoji? Having said the I`m now well skint

My best bass and most valuable in £`s gets gigged and as it`s a Roadworn 60th aniv Jazz it doesn`t matter if it gets dinged. I keep my eye on it at gigs as it so easy for someone to lift it when your back is turned say during a break. On a similar line, I was talking to a guy in my local the other week who was playing a 6 grand Les Paul custom shop 59 re issue. After doing a soundcheck the 3 guys in the band disappeared out the back for a smoke leaving the Les Paul and a nice Ric just sitting near a door. Not something I would do especially where I come from

Harsh and selfish? The op was just looking for helpful suggestions not character assassination.

If you need a lightweight bass there seems to be some nice options out there these days. If I had the need and money I would speak to Shuker and get him to make something nice and light. I have crap eyesight due to various things and wear glasses when gigging. It`s a bit of a rubbish look in a rock band but as I can`t wear contact lenses, glasses it is. In fact the one time I played without glasses, I couldn`t see the set list and a few comments were made that I was getting vain in my old age In other words, do what can to make the gig easy. Good luck!

It`s a fake from a factory in China selling on E bay. It`s says so down in the description. It doesn`t actually say it`s a fake but I do know a real one costs a few bob.
