    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1389271890' post='2332143'] Yip. It's a bureaucratic box-ticking exercise being exploited by some to squeeze a few quid out of people who don't know any better. [/quote] This.

    'Public Foot the Roman' were a regular feature of the college circuit in the late 70s. Great name.

    Sympathetically restored 1963 Hofner Verithin serial no. 216. Neck straight and fretwork perfect. Finish has crazing and wear by the neck pickup consistent with the age of the instrument. Electrics completely overhauled. Non-original hardcase included. Offers sought in the region of £750. Sale only, no trades. Collection preferred (nr Kingston upon Thames) but delivery via courier can be arranged at cost.

    [quote name='cacadoodledoo123' timestamp='1329082689' post='1537036'] I can't remeber off the top of my head mate, i'm pretty sure it was 200W at 4ohms though [/quote] Definitely 200 into 4.

    For sale (sorry no trades). Rick Turner Renaissance 4-string fretted bass. Built by the co-founder of Alembic, these basses are VERY hard to come by in the UK. This one was imported from Ed Roman’s shop in Las Vegas. It has never been gigged and is in pristine condition although it has seen light use in the studio so the Thomastic Acousticore strings (fitted as standard) could do with replacing. The full spec (along with better pics than mine) is available here - [url="http://www.renaissanceguitars.com/bass.php"]http://www.renaissan...rs.com/bass.php[/url]. Uploading pics here has defeated me but I do have pics to send via PM if required. I don’t have the original packaging and the instrument ships in a lightweight Levy gigbag. Consequently I’d prefer collection although I’m prepared to drive within a 50-mile radius of Slough. If you wish to arrange your own courier that would be fine. I’m looking for offers very close to £1250.00. Bass Central in Florida have a couple listed to give an indication to current prices. If you have any questions please ask!

    and I agree about the 426 Hemi

    Bass by name IS right. That's a 351 small-block bored out to 427. Still a small-block though. Ashdown's cheesy hotrod-style graphics remain naff.

    Just relieved Jay of the Bravewood P-bass. Top bloke and a pleasure to do business with (alhough I think you were mad to sell it). Good luck with the 'Woodworm Hilton'!

    Pricey - but anywhere with New Kings Road rent and rates to pay isnt going to be offering any bargains.

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='875185' date='Jun 23 2010, 10:49 AM']Also puzzled to see 1119 listed as Alan Spenner of Voice Squad / Jim Capaldi ... I thought he was strictly Roxy Music at that time, and I didn't know he'd played with Capaldi. I've never heard of Voice Squad (? Vice Squad, maybe).[/quote] A bit off-topic I know but the Voice Squad were principally Frankie Collins, Dyan Birch and Paddy McHugh - originating in the Liverpool band Arrival and subsequently the voices in Kokomo (hence Spenner) and countless London sessions. Pure class.

    Last week - ordered online and received the strings next day as usual. I've never had a problem. (But I've never tried emailing them.)

    [quote name='owen' post='540070' date='Jul 14 2009, 09:56 AM']If the drummer thing is not an issue then I'm sure it will be very lovely.[/quote] You're right! I've had one of these on loan from AER for a couple of months now and it's an extraordinarily flexible piece of kit - PLENTY loud enough with a quiet-ish drummer. As far as I know it's the first AER product specifically voiced for [u]electric[/u] bass (although it works wonderfully with my ABG) and has a fat, warm tone that suits my P-bass and Jazz perfectly. Everywhere I've used it, other band members have soured the stage looking for an extension cab. They cant believe that such a small box can produce such stout tone and volume. EQ is very musical with no unusable settings and the compressor is the first one I've ever wanted to use on stage. It evens out the response of my ABG really well. Build quality is exemplary (as it should be for the price!). I'm just dreading the phonecall asking for it back! There are a few threads on Talkbass that are just as enthusiastic as I am. Check them out.

    FWIW - Back in the late 70s I often played through a small PA custpm-built by a BBC technician and that used Karlson cabs. It sounded pretty good if I remember correctly.

    Band woes

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='453049' date='Apr 3 2009, 10:26 AM']It's slowly dawning on me that our lead guitarist can behave like a bit of a knob.[/quote] Now there's a novelty!

    [quote name='JJTee' post='11739' date='Jun 4 2007, 10:34 AM']Don't hate me, but I think [b]Rutger Gunnarsson[/b], the chap who played most of the ABBA bass lines, is a superb player... Go on, force yourself to listen to stuff like Money Money Money, Dancing Queen, One of Us... Some great melodic lines.[/quote] +1 Couldn't agree more.

    Just sold my Wal Pro II to Gary - a man with excellent taste in basses, cars and watches! A pleasure to do business with and highly recommended.
