  1. check out [url="http://uk.search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A7x9QXvSGc5QRlEAOIVLBQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTE1NWU3NTJzBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2lyZAR2dGlkA1NNRVVLMjVfOTU-/SIG=11d8b1kmp/EXP=1355713106/**http%3a//www.lemonrock.com/"]Lemonrock gig guide[/url] look under browse ads section, also visit & play at as many jam sessions in your area as you can, always a good place to meet people, best of luck, mike b.
  2. aaaaaarrrgghhhh ,if only i hadn't treated myself to the prs santana 25 anniv for christmas, you could always offer me this as a p/ex on the old matchless tho, best of luck bump for a true vision of loveliness, mike b.
  3. pre christmas bump, have found myself a guitar amp, but would consider a "travel " size acoustic guitar or any bass related swaps or trades, mike b
  4. pipe lagging from B&Q or Wickes is my personal favourite, any leftovers gets put on my mountain bike frame to protect it when its heaved into the back of the car, mike b
  5. I might take this as a deposit on the matchless, all the best, mike.
  6. this is one of a pair of PA spkrs I bought some time ago,it's twin brother has been used as an ext cab to my GK 150MBS & also to various guitar amps, rated at 8ohms @ about 75w from memory, handles low B well & good all round sound with guitar or bass, dims are 520 x 380 x 300 deep, in excellent cond & cheap enough at £30, if you wan't to replace the spkr with something higher powered you would be hard pressed to make a cabinet alone for that money, Collection only from close to M5 junc 28 or during working hours I am next door to Exeter airport, mike b having trouble adding pic will try again later
  7. Noooooh , not the lovely Rita, one of the best sounding basses I have ever owned, only the change to fives prompted the sale of the fabled bass chat bike, have fond memories of her & whoever takes her on will not be disappointed, mike b.
  8. May accept any bass related trades as well, let me know what you have, when new this was a similar price to a top end ovation, mike b.
  9. Another one from my old uk built guitar collection, these were made in Leicester during the 80's-90's, this one was built around 1983 before the factory was set up, far superior in my opinion to any ovation I have played, neck is wider at the nut & much less cramped, it has played a few notes in it's time so does have some mojo but neck & frets are in good condition.Solid top, ebony board, maple mahogany neck, passive piezo pickup system & an action that most electric players would die for. Shame to have this sat around unused, I value it at £350 but if you think differently feel free to make an offer, trade wise things I could use would be a 5 string fretless,baritone uke, travel size acoustic,small lightweight bass amp head, with cash either way depending what you have, guitar is not cased so collection only or may meet up at a sensible distance, happy new year all,mike b [attachment=121633:pad.jpg] [attachment=121634:pad2.jpg] [attachment=121635:pad3.jpg] [attachment=121636:pad4.jpg]
  10. Stunning, not sure the wrinkly fingers could cope with another string tho', had a look at the old build thread but couldn't see anything on string spacing at bridge or scale length, does this use std 34" double ball strings or does it have clamps at the blunt end, mike b. ( oh no I've started drooling out of the corner of my mouth now )
  11. sound as a pound, great guy to deal with, highly recommended, mike
  12. on hold for the man whose wife has impeccable taste
  13. back under the bed bump,if you have never tried one of these they do les paul as well as any gibbo I have owned or tele as well as any fender with the pickup switching options available, sadly my guitar playing days are coming to an end, so I am looking for a hardtail or acoustic to set up for slide in open tuning or an elusive thumb b/o 5er, any takers, mike b.
  14. thought I would realist this, collection only from sunny devon, '93 eggle berlin pro in excellent order apart from some wear to gold plate on p'up surrounds, complete with oe case & tags, £650 collection only (close to june 28/M5), may px with little martin,warwick thumb 5 or tele with cash either way, could arrange a meet within 100 miles or so , mike b. [attachment=114940:egglead.jpg]
  15. excellent, also worth checking out " what duck done", mike b.

    Acoustic's

    depends on your budget, I bought a taylor gs mini 3/4 size suits my arthritic fingers a treat & sounds stunning, if you fancy something full size I have a rare Pilgrim electro accoustic made in leics in the early '80s, no case so collection only from sunny devon, better than an ovation in my opinion, a gift at £350 if you are interested
  17. this put me back into headless mode, massive sound for a passive bass, great fun & the parts alone are worth more than the asking price bump, mikeb
  18. just had ours cancelled, rain stopped play, should have been in the grounds of kilerton house for a national trust garden party event this afternoon .
  19. Thanks to a fellow b'chatter sarah thomas who put me on to the "ukulelecosmos forum" I came across a stunning craftsman Stuart Longridge who built this for me- [attachment=108365:uke1.jpg] [attachment=108366:uke2.jpg] [attachment=108367:uke4.jpg] english walnut body, lacewood neck, ebony h'stock,fretboard & bridge, all stuart's instruments are oil finished with almond oil which buffs up to a fantastic shine going to try this out on my warwick fna, sounds just as good as it looks, mike b
  20. of all the basses I have owned a '93 bolt on 4 string is the one I miss the most, would love to find a b/o 5 string, very underrated & undervalued is my opinion, mike b.
  21. I have had both Ti & D'ad chromes on fretted & fretless in the past, the thomastics seem "woodier" in tone compared to the chromes, D'ad chromes every time for me .
  22. If you don't mind taking a drill to your treasured instrument try moving the position of the lower strap button away from the centre line of the body, i.e. think of the bass in terms of hands of a clock, headstock at 12 o'clock lower button at 6.00, move the lower button to somewhere around 7.00, this will shift the way the bass hangs on a strap & will improve balance, ideally get someone to help hold the bass while you have the strap attached at the top horn only & you can try to obtain the optimum position for the lower button before drilling, hope that makes some sense, mike b.
  23. on hold, trade pending, mike .
  24. hello, seen a couple of these 5 string models offered for sale recently, would any current owner mind measuring the neck width & thickness at the 12th fret, also any one know if the profile has changed over the time they were in production, thanks, mike b ( if anyone is thinking of selling one send me a pm )
  25. bumpalumpa for 5 string trades fretted or fretless, partial to warwicks or any small bodied 34" scale, don't mind adding cash if you have something nice (e.g. another Sei) or be brave & make an offer, mike b.
