  1. 9B is now sold. £450 for the Six Pak (6pak, Six Pack?) or £480 delivered to UK mainland if you are interested. Cheers, Rich
  2. well if you two can PM each other and split the £700 between yourselves however you wish then job done I'd have guessed something like £250 for the 9B and £450 for the 6 pak was somewhere near? Cheers, Rich
  3. Price dropped - £700 for both, may split. Make a fine xmas present to the neighbours.....
  4. [attachment=230104:20161016_204628.jpg] For sale here is my go-to gig setup, a Phil Jones Bass Six Pak, which is an M500 amp built in with a 6B cab, and also a 9B cab. The Six Pak alone is a great piece of kit, coupled with the expansion cab it is an awesome setup and easily coped with a mental drummer and two Marshall-laden guitarists for gigging. I gigged quite a bit with this but bands and playing have fallen by the wayside and I could use the money for other projects. The Six Pak has seen more action than the 9B. The previous owner painted it white and it kind of grew on me, it has marks, scratches etc from transport and usage but all works perfectly and sounds great. It comes with the travel cover. The Six Pak has castors on one side and a suitcase style handle on the other for moving it around. It is HEAVY, a real solid piece of kit but the sound is so clear and crisp. The 9B has seen far less use and is in excellent condition including the travel cover. The cab comes with the cable to attach to the Six Pak and another socket for adding additional cabs if you feel the need. The 9B is on 4 castors. I'd rather sell both together as a set, but may consider splitting for the right offer. I'm located near Darlington, these are too heavy to courier but I'm up and down the country sometimes. I'd recommend visiting to see/hear though.

The M500 amps alone are £1250 new! Cheers, Rich
  5. [attachment=230093:20161016_204921.jpg] Here for sale is my 1968 Fender Jazz bass in sunburst with tort pick guard. I bought this bass as my "never need another" in 2014 from Andy Baxter. It was set up and new strings fitted when I collected it. It is with a heavy heart I'm offering it for sale. I have played it maybe a dozen times since having it, and only gigged it twice, and now I'm at a stage where it is a lot of money to be tied up in something I don't even look at let alone play. It has lived in its case in a heated bedroom since I bought it to keep it away from temp/humidity changes and sunlight. It sounds amazing, it looks amazing. The neck is dated 7th Jul 1968, all pots are matching and dated 50th week of 1968. I believe it to be totally original but you are welcome to view and see for yourself. My only condition is that if you want to take the pots, pickups and neck off to check, you put the cash on the table first to show you are a serious buyer. I don't want to take this apart absolutely any more than required due to damage risk so show me you are serious. The original hard case in included in the sale. Condition wise it has been used, there are some small marks/chips, it is not a 10/10, but I bought it to gig with. It is perhaps a 8/10 but it is your responsibility to view and make your own mind up. [attachment=230094:20161016_204926.jpg] [attachment=230095:20161016_204937.jpg] [attachment=230096:20161016_204943.jpg] [attachment=230097:20161016_205001.jpg] [attachment=230098:20161016_205013.jpg] [attachment=230099:20161016_205018.jpg] [attachment=230100:20161016_205044.jpg] Viewing and playing is obviously recommended for such a purchase, I'm located near Darlington. See my other ad for a PJB amp/cab setup too. Cheers, Rich
  6. Just to follow up I had listened to "best of the old bollocks" while driving to Liverpool this evening.
  7. Wahey - the Heavy Metal Kids got a mention by someone else on BC :-)
  8. Master of observational songwriting Chris Rea has penned a new tune, soon to be released, in deference to the working mens clubs of Middlesbrough. Titled "One parmo, one spesh and one leer" it is sung to the George Thorogood version tune of "One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer".
  9. I'll be in Dublin next Wednesday so may try to visit the statue and raise a pint for him. Great player and singer, such a waste though.
  10. [quote]these are bassists who read these..... [/quote] I can't read, I employ my butler to read the forum to me and type the responses. Reading, writing, all that stuff is for poor people it would seem. Back onto food related rock-facts: Wilko Johnson, famous guitarist so monikered due to his love of shopping for cheap plastic items in budget household chain Wilkinsons, played with Dr Feelgood. No, not like that, as in played guitar. Dr Feelgood was the nickname the band members gave to crushed up fishermans friends which they would dissolve in cola drinks. The idea was stolen by a bloke from Austria and the rest, as they say, is Red Bull history.
  11. Everyone's favourite pop princess Kylie Minogue co-wrote & performed BV's on 5 Finger Death Punches 2013 and latest album, "The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2" with two songs, "Cold" and "Time to Die", both inspired by a visit to the KFC on the outskirts of Bish Vegas*, County Durham. * A colloquial term for the market town of Bishop Auckland, which happens to be a sh*t hole.
  12. The Kings of Leon have never actually been to Leon, and none of them are king either. In fact only the word "of" is not a lie for the bands identity. However the town of Leon in Spain does have a Mayor who plays lute and castanets in a local pub mariachi trio.
  13. I'm working my way though the above suggestions, listening and playing some. Cissy Strut is certainly there as a favourite I think. As for me singing, there are two reasons: 1. I sing like a cat caught in a piece of industrial machinery 2. When I sing I seem to forget what I'm supposed to be playing on bass, or I concentrate on playing the bass for forget to sing
  14. Cheers for the ideas, I'm going to play a few myself tonight then see which I can persuade the others to go for. Lead guitar is very good, classically trained so can do all the twiddly finger picking stuff too.
