  1. This was rescued from a friend whose daughter had dropped it and the neck split. This has now been professionally repaired and set up by the amazing George Pearson in Bristol. There are lots of marks but it’s a vintage 335 that looks great, plays great and sounds great! I can’t play guitar and it’s taking up space. £125 delivered sound fair? Cheaper if you collect from Bristol.

  2. Looks wonderful and what a fantastic cause and event. I remember a video with Lee Sklar talking about how Phil Collins would make them spend months drilling the set so it sounded super tight but still felt fresh. Bet this will be the same.
  3. I have a Musima bass identical to this and it’s done best part of 70 gigs a year, chucked in and out of vans, left in hot cars, humid places, etc and it’s always been rock solid and sounds great.
  4. Still here and still fabulous!
  5. This should help: https://gadgetsnow.indiatimes.com/how-to/how-to-copy-text-from-photos-on-android/articleshow/92228680.cms
  6. As long as your note are legible, you can use your tablet to extract the text and create notes. Simple enough.
  7. Was an interesting one that. It was sold in the previous auction and then relisted 3 months later. Wouldn’t buy it either!
  8. Agreed 100%
  9. Smelt funny that one. Unless it came with rock solid provenance I’d walk away. This was an interesting one: https://auctions.gardinerhoulgate.co.uk/catalogue/lot/1ca91b4dbe70d6ccba6859c87575452d/63b778f7668dabe928d3800924a99077/the-guitar-auction-four-day-sale-lot-375/ All just bits of old wood, but this had something.
  10. Lovely little Jim Dandy parlour guitar. Owned from new and set-up by the lovely chap at SiCo Setups, where he fitted a new bone nut and a new saddle (and strings, obviously!). I don’t play it and I’m selling stuff I don’t need. £135 seem fair?
  11. Any offers? Be good to get those gone…
  12. I don’t have a problem with it either, but we’re all different. One band mate used to take his off and put it on a necklace while gigging. Seemed a sensible solution.
  13. These are just exceptional amps. I’ve heard mine for hundreds of gigs and it just sounds fantastic.
  14. My dad reckoned there was too much lead guitar, but given what she’s been through, was a wonderful gig.
  15. My parents went to see her live and her voice is as great as ever!
  16. I am finding this with classical double bass. So much of it seems impenetrable and near impossible, but a few months later, I can breeze through it and (even better) introduce some personality into the playing.
  17. This is a handmade pickup from the lovely chap Michael Zadow. I ordered this especially as a backup for gigs where I was worried about feedback. The magnetic pickup is big, bold and strong and looks the business in gold! It's held in place with velcro, and the jack socket is held in place under the pickup this way. It's actually a really good system. The pickup is a couple of years old and while it's sat on my bass for lots of gigs, it has hardly been used. You can learn more about the system here: https://www.zadow-electronics.de/pickup_e.htm Was thinking around £140, but I'll let you decide. This has been replaced by both a copper head and a Nadine, both of which has (so far, at least) worked without feedback. (To note, you'll need to use strings with a metal core or the pickup won't work.)

  18. Music books for sale! After my last clear out, I've found these. John Lennon – Spaniard in the Works – 3rd press, 1966 – £10 Clapton – £5 Song for Freedom – £5 The Symphony – £4 Revolution – £4 How to write a song (this is new, was an xmas present but already had it) £8 Hear me talkin' £4 History of Jazz – £8 Prices don't include postage. Will send them all to you for £40
  19. Still here. Pedal is really cool and proper bonkers sounding!
  20. I can categorically state that it won’t be loud enough. I have had one (and sold it here) for that reason. In my view, if you want an ultra portable rig then I’d recommend a Barefaced 1 x 10 and the Elf. I’ve used this rig on hundreds of gigs from blues and funk to jazz and even weddings and functions (bleugh). I also have a Phil Jones suitcase amp which is amazing but won’t be loud enough.
  21. £165 including postage and super cool case.
  22. I got the price I paid wrong. I bought it for £160 which is a fairer price to sell it.
