It needs a home! 🙂

Lee brought my Yamaha BB1024. A friendly and honest chatter. Good comms and smooth payer… deal with ease! Thanks. Greg.

I know what you mean. I cannot go too light either, so instead, I stick with regular or thicker 🙂 👍.

I find the band's output fairly inconsistent and I'm drawn more to the singles rather than the albums.

Same here! There is some album stuff that I have liked - some songs have grown on me over time - but have always been more of a 'singles' person overall 🙂.

Of course, there are the standards such as ‘hair’ and ‘pow’ etc, but a personal favourite is ‘Now Do-U-Wanta Dance’, but this version [see below]. It is slower and the bassline is different to the original. So much funk at 00.28! 🙂

Thanks all for your welcomes! I have just price-dropped my items for sale. Check out their ads in the marketplace! 🙂

A really clean way to integrate your iPod into practice or live setups. Great little stations. I have several musician friends that swear by them. Can be used with most instruments including electronic drums. Somebody give it a new home!

Really responsive with loads of assignable faders and knobs. Semi-weighted and feels great. I have play full-weighted pianos in the past, and settled into this fine. Good build quality too, so I would not hesitate to use this live. Somebody give it a new home!

*PRICE DROP* Now £200

Great pedal. A really nice reissue of a classic. Room-shaking low end for your bass. You will be felt as well as heard. Much more straightforward controls compared to the original. Somebody give it a new home!

*PRICE DROP* Now £300

Really well done basses. A nice open sound with punch. The LR Baggs Element pickup and StagePro EQ are great. Very good balance in both the treble and bass frequencies. Somebody give it a new home!

*PRICE DROP* Now £450

These are great basses. A strong presence and low end. Has several features found in more expensive models such as spline joint body, 5-piece neck and diagonal body thru stringing. Somebody give it a new home!

Look just stop it will you, I`m trying to resist 

 

I had one like yours from the same last batch and sold it twice and still miss it!

Lol. Don’t give me cold feet! 😁

I was reluctant to sell at first, but I have not used it in a long time, which is unfair, as it deserves all the playing time it can get. So it needs to go 😉

These are brilliant. I have 2. Price asked is on the low side. Surprised not already snapped up. 

I am surprised too. I have deliberately made it a little lower to get it out the door. I am not in a rush to sell pre se, but once I have committed to selling something, I can’t stand holding on to it 🙂

Great basses. I have a beautiful ‘BB1024 Tobacco Brown Sunburst’ for sale at the moment if anyone is interested. It needs a good home. Check out the ad here...

I can't be the only one, can I?

Don't get me wrong, I love being in a band, hanging around with my mates making music, that's where the pleasure comes from for me. I know public performance is the pinnacle of being in a band for most people, but I'm just not feeling it. The way I feel at the minute, I honestly wouldn't care if I never played in public again

Lugging gear around, trying to fit it all in the car. Spending the best part of an hour at the other end unloading it and setting everything up. Standing round like a spare part waiting to go on, then performing to a load of annoying, well lubricated people, who, in many cases aren't even interested. Only to have to break everything back down while the audience who haven't shown a bit of interest all night, start demanding "more". Then lug everything around back into the car, drive home, lug it around again into the house and finally get to relax about 3 hours after the people you've been "entertaining" have gone to bed. 

The only part I actually enjoy is if we get time for a couple of cheeky pints after the gig.

Why do I do it? 

 

I have not performed in a long time. But when I did, I did not appreciate the travel and ‘lugging’ either. But that said, I have had worst jobs that involve these. This is what I used to tell myself when loading in/out of shows and such. It makes the whole thing feel like a breeze. Beautiful venues and people make it worth it also 🙂

No silver tape is best. You have to put a length on the mixer and write what the chsnnels are on it. Sharpie doesn't show up on black.

I am not a sound engineer, so have never had that problem 😉. Otherwise, yes, silver tape is more suited for the job 👍

Don’t crash the band van in to the venue you just finished playing at. In fact don’t offer to drive the band van, ever.

Sounds like a job for the black tape! 😆

Never underestimate a roll of black tape. It is such a simple thing to have, but has so many uses. From covering my blistered thump, taping cables down to reattaching the side mirror on the band van! [yes, you heard me right]. Always carry some with you 😉

Hello. Like new condition. One of two that I have for sale. A useful tool for practice and/or live setup. Includes original boxing with accessories. UK P&P included. No trades. Weight is 1.1lbs. Price based on previous reverb posts. Thanks. Here is my feedback page…

PLEASE NOTE: includes a usa power supply [as pictured]. This means that you will need a usa to uk plug adapter to use it. These can be purchased cheap, so not an issue.

Thanks fleabag. Can it be a hot chocolate though? [I don't like horlicks] 😄

STP are a band I've always kind of liked but never really taken much time to really listen to them. Yesterday I put on Core, I'd never realised before just how interesting their bass lines are. I spent most of yesterday evening working out Plush.

It's always great to suddenly discover something I already knew was so much more interesting than I ever realised.

Yes. ‘Core’ is a great album. That whole grunge era in general. You will be surprised what basslines you can find from it. I never paid attention to robert deleo’s basslines until I heard the mtv unplugged version of ‘plush’. A great performance. His runs are well placed and tasteful; offering enough variation but without taking all the attention. Shame about Scott Weiland.

Always a shame when someone pulls out of a purchase last minute. Especially when it is looking to go to a good home which is important to me. We have all had them I’m sure. Oh well. Sometimes it is just not meant to be. Bass on!

Nice! I just know John and his sons as good people. All the best with the Jaydee. Lovely looking basses!

‘Give Me the Night’ album is the one for me! ‘Give Me the Night’ and ‘Love X Love’ are stand out tracks. Quincy Jones was a good choice for producer.
