    This is a pickup from a MM Sterling bass. The pickup is in working order and was removed from a 2001 model Sterling. There is a bit of wear on the front of the pickup from a previous owner. I swapped the pickup and original pre amp out as the jack socket was starting to misbehave and was so worn, the input cable was almost falling out the jack socket. If you want I will throw in the original pre and you can sort it yourself but bear in mind it may need some work. I have never seen one of these for sale so hopefully have priced the item fairly. Looking for £60 posted to UK.

    Nice thought these look, Lobster has just reviewed one and it weighs 10.8 lb`s. Quite a hefty beast and a deal breaker for some I would imagine.

    This might be daft or been suggested earlier but can`t you borrow their usual bassist amp to do the gig?

    A similar thing happened to me this week. Bought a bass and got the DHL tracking. I realised that no one would be in to accept delivery so chose the "collect from local parcel shop" option. On the morning got a notification that bass was on the van. Got home and got a e mail saying that they couldn`t deliver the bass and contact the supplier. Guessing that the bass had been refused due to the size, I spent 22 mins on the phone to DHL who as soon as they asked me for the tracking number promptly cut me off! After another 35 mins on the phone an operator confirmed that it was too large for the shop and would I like it delivered the next day to my home address. So in the end the guy was really helpful and I got the bass. But the bass arrived with one of the tuner clover stem broke off and lying in the bottom of the gig bag. Don`t know how it happened as the bag showed no sign of damage and the shop are sorting it out for me, so all good.

    Cheers for that WOT. Bought!

    I used this set up and if you stick a ART Tube Pre Amp at the end of your signal chain, it will provide a hot enough signal to drive the power amp. The MXR DI I have doesnt give a hot enough signal to do this on it`s own. And someone has one for sale on here at the moment. You can use it for vocal, bass, guitar etc.

    "She used to be a diplomat, now she`s down the laundromat" Not one of Gary Kempt`s finest lyric.

    Re Every breath. I either read or saw an interview with Andy where he said that it was indeed his riff and that he was quite happy with the deal that him and Sting came to over it`s use. I don`t think Andy is at the poor house knocking on the door.

    A guy who worked with a company I worked with for a while found out I was a bass player. He was on the lookout as he had apparently mislaid his bass player. He then proceeded to tell me in no uncertain terms that if I wanted the pleasure of playing for him I would need a P bass, Sansamp and use a pick. As I didn`t have a P bass, a Sansamp and can`t play with a pick to save myself, I told him where to go. This turned out to be the right thing to do as it turns out he was a right fu*kwit!

    Gotta agree. I bought the double one and at £135 I thought it was a bit pricey but for the spec, so far it`s been great.

    Just sold Chris another bass, the 3rd I think. Great guy to deal with and a nice guy. Thanks! Gerry

    Just in case you haven`t seen this, a cracking interview from 2013 that was broadcast on Vintage tv. Enjoy

    Welcome! Yeah quite a few guys on here have done it. You may have to give the neck a tweak and alter the nut but not always. Someone who has done it will no doubt be along shortly.

    Finding a drummer is easy, finding a good drummer who isn`t already in 4 other bands, not so easy. If you are on facebook try the Musicians available in central Scotland or Gumtree. Strange as it may seem, I seem to do ok finding people from Gumtree. Once you sieve out the nutters! Good luck man.

    Cool guys, ta for the explanation.

    I have read this many times over the years but what does it actually mean? What is scooping the mids?
  22. jezzaboy
    Forgot to mention, there are 2 faint white marks on the very end of the headstock. Very faint but better mention it. Also price drop to £420

    I only starting to really listen to them at the start of lockdown and I`m glad I did. Toiler on the sea is a fantastic song. Luckily enough I think that Baz is a great front man well up to the job. It seems that some fans of the band can`t get over the fact that Hugh left...in 1990! Re the bass tone. In the gig below, there is no amps on stage just Ashdown cabs but they don`t seem to have any cables coming from them when you see them round the back so I don`t know whats going on.

    Here is a MIM P bass, good condition, just a few light marks on the edges of the body and a scrape on the bottom horn on the rear. No actual lumps of paint missing as such just light scratches. Fitted with Gotoh Japan vintage style tuners, Tonerider pickup and one of Kiogon`s wiring looms. Weight is 4.3 kg or 9.5 lb`s. Collection from Paisley or localish meet up and not looking for any trades thanks.

    A few years back he did a live session for Ken Bruce and he was dreadful. Granted it was like 11 am but he sounded like a bad pub singer to me.
