Alright Folks.

So whilst I am in-between cruise contracts (Read - unemployed) I am looking to improve my YouTube portfolio to make myself more employable in the future for dep gigs etc.

I'm looking for some inspiration/ideas for covers that show off ability but not just chops.

Covers I have done so far include Master Blaster, Peg, Sir Duke, Never Too Much, Want You Back and a few others. So "standards" that have some sort of bass line that isn't root note bashing.

Im thinking maybe doing some rock tunes just to show I can do that too, I just need something productive to fill my time between practicing, playing super smash brothers and going to the gym! 

What would you guys want to see and be looking for in these videos?

Cheers!

Used once for a gig, cut for a jazz bass.

Postage is no problem.

Bon Iver - Bon Iver. Always have the CD in my car and its always available off-line on Spotify.

Weight is 3.84kg as that seems to be a common question!

Home now so can post. Gimme some offers people. Will chuck in some flatwounds too!

One of the most interesting books about music I've read

Unglue is a top stinky poo work. Best option here is to take off the frets, delete the fretboard with a router, put a new truss, and then put a new fretboard in whatever wood. If I didn't hate so much to fret, I'll do it (and I can find both tiny and big brass frets original Simtoms)

But speaking of that (I'm thinking while writing) I think I'm able to find a pre-cutted and finished frets for Warwick.

Only wood remaining is Padauk for fretboards....

So, except for the time it'll be around 100£ max...

Would you give me that neck ?

Well if you can fix it I would rather keep this one than get rid of it! Shoot me a PM maybe we can work something out

Mmmh, the neck is interesting.... But I have to unglue all the fretboard 😢 hard task

Exactly what the luthier said!

Thanks Paddy, she is a fantastic bass but surplus to requirements as it stands, I'm having to put alot of things into storage due to the amount of traveling I do and my parents wanting to claim my room back (can't argue with that they have been kind enough to let me use it as a base for a long time!) So she has to go.

THIS BASS HAS A BROKEN TRUSS ROD

Everything else is in working order but the truss rod is cracked so neck relief cannot be sorted unless you take it to a luthier wizz. I checked with Warwick and they want around £600 for a new neck and the old one to be sent back. That said if you like a high action it's still playable. 

The body has a fair few scratches and dings as to be expected of the work I've put it through. Also the bass currently isn't strung as it's been sat in a case for a long time! This is a German Warwick from 2006 I believe. 

I'll be able to get more pictures when I am back home 2nd of May.

Thanks!

For Sale

Squier Classic Vibe P Bass

This thing is brand new. I played it once on my last cruise contract as my spare when I had a malfunction with my jazz bass. Can post at buyers expense, not in the market for trades as I am unemployed at the moment so looking to sell!

Will get more pictures up when I am home on the 2nd of May.

Thanks!

Is postage an option yet? 

I'm currently playing a MM jazz on a cruise contract. 5 sets a day is crippling my back (I'm 27 and I'd like to think I'm in good shape!) And I'm using a Gruv Gear strap, so the weight may be an issue but I absolutely adore the thing. The amount of guests that come up to me after a gig commenting on how great it sounds speaks volumes. 

Mine came today but I was two packs light.. 

I'll have to call them tomorrow!

Just ordered and all worked fine. Nice one!

Recently got the Gruv Gear solo, 4 inches wide and thick padding. Would definitely recommend.

I won't be able to post for a week though as I am away from home 😬

I'll let the Q-Balls for for £50 today!

Gimme your offers! Worst I'll do is say no!

Pick up sold, stand still available.

Thanks mate. Just waiting on people to get back to me!

The Enigma is a great filter pedal by the genius that is Mike Beigel (of Mu-Tron fame). Good price too. I’ve always been tempted to get a second one and have it modified so that the distortion trimpot is controlled by an external knob and to have a master volume control added. 

Well now is your chance!
