  1. I agree with poster above, of use a fretless jazz bass with a lot of Bridge pickup and a hint of neck, played at the bridge with a firm set of fingers. You're looking to play right hand with a lot of attack and the left hand silly smooth in a flowing, fluid motion. Chorus and compression (it's the 80s, eh?). This is all about nailing a Jaco-ish tone.
  2. I know, apparently it's something to do with Photobucket. I can't sort it today, but I'll do so tomorrow. The DropBox link still works, so feel free to use that :-)
  3. Turn your phone sideways. Works for me. Joking aside I have one of these and it's great.
  4. Just to add to the wonderful comments here, you're trying to play like someone else without trying to establish your own voice on the instrument. This is obviously difficult because you're comparing yourself with (I imagine) some wonderful bass players, and feel like you're coming off second best. Happens to us all, and takes time. If you want to mimic others, that's cool - we all love amazing, versatile players. What changed things for me was working in a couple of originals bands and spending a lot of time learning to sound like me. I went through wanting to sound like Andy Rourke, James Jameson, Jaco (pity my poor parents listening to that), and a whole host of others. Now I'm happy to sound like me. Looking at this from a different perspective, when I first started playing DB I just found myself unable to play without sounding awful. Part of that was (my teacher advised me) nerves and the other half was just feeling tense, which cramped me up and made me sound (forgive me) like sh*t. A massive part of music is having confidence, and that takes an awful lot of time to get. I can pick up an electric bass and I'm fine, but give me a DB and I feel the same as you do.
  5. This is a kit including everything you need to build your own Ukelele (apparently). It was a gift but I've never used it. Box opened but only to check it's all there. Seems to be. This looks like a cheap kit, so please have low expectations but could be a bit of fun for the winter. £13.50 including delivery.
  6. Some offers and trades - and almost a deal done - but she's still here... Bump for funk
  7. Haha, true! Well, the modern equivalent. In the office we've just got Spotify. Good luck with the sale of these, seems like a fantastic package.
  8. If it were 1998 I'd have them all! Haven't listened to Silverchair in almost 20 years. Good luck with the sale.
  9. Bump for a stunning vintage all original Pre-CBS bass. Surely this has to appeal to someone? It's what interest free credit card we're invented for...
  10. Cheers guys. It's a good, honest old bass.
  11. Bump for price drop to £5750. Some feedback I have had from dealers is that this is a fairer price. Hope you feel the same way too! In terms of trades I could accept a Wal; vintage all original Fender Precision, Jazz or Telecaster Bass; or possibly even a DB. Feel free to send me a PM if you need more information.
  12. Bump for a Saturday morning. I've had a few questions and this is indeed a genuine 'C' neck Fender. This is a wider neck profile.
  13. This is my M-Audio Oxygen USB midi controller keyboard. It's boxed with instruction ana Ableton 8 and has barely been used. I bought it to record with at home, but never bothered (story of my life). I did manage to spill coffee on the instructions, but not the keyboard. This is the 3rd generation of these. Functions perfectly, does the job and is in great condition . £55 plus a little but for postage and it's yours.
  14. These images aren't great quality so I've created a Dropbox link with everything you might need here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0a3reggyj2afgop/AABW9gjZHdKb0JQKwF5qfMp1a?dl=0
  15. I found I had a little more time than I thought... Images here of everything I hope that you might need.

  16. 1963 Precision - Pre CBS beauty! This is my 1963 Precision, I've had this now for a couple of years and have loved every minute of it. I'm selling it as I prefer jazz basses. The basis absolutely all original to the screw. The only work that has been done to it is that the lower pickup has been rewound. This is because it went open circuit. This has been professionally done, and you wouldn't know unless a good honest seller like me told you. L series neck plate and stamp - serial number: L19063. As you can see it's in good, vintage condition. It's been played, but not abused. The finish has some play wear commensurate with age, but it's had a good life. Everything is up to scratch, and the truss rod has plenty of life left in it. In fact, it's almost flush with the heel (well made old basses these). Frets are fantastic and it plays well, no dead spots or problems all the way up its gorgeous rosewood board. There is some shrinkage to the scratch plate, but it's in good original condition and you can see the quality of these compared with the post CBS basses. It comes with the original covers and case (pictured). The covers are great, screws still in the cavities, but the case has seen better days. I purchased this from reputable vintage guitar dealer David J Pym, who has done the due diligence, purchasing it from the original owner. I am certain will remember and vouch for the guitar, supporting everything that I have said, and I'm happy to pass on contact details or manage an introduction. The price is [s]£6,495[/s] [b]£5750 [/b]and I have based this on some of the prices in London (taking a whack off because I'm down in the countryside). If you're interested, there's always a deal to be done, but unless you have any all original vintage Fender basses I'm not really interested in a trade. The bass is located in sunny Bristol and I'd prefer cash (well, bank transfer) on collection. I am happy to welcome you to come and give it a play, I'm certain you will fall in love with it. I'm not really interested in sending it, for the main reason that I have no idea how on earth I could insure something like this. If you want it, one and play it and I'll knock off the costs of travel and accommodation from the guitar. I have taken some pictures here and can take more should you want them. I'd prefer not to get the screwdrivers out and take it to bits, but more than happy to do so if you would like me to. Neck date, pots, and all other bits coming a little later today when I get the time to take it apart.

  17. These are lovely. Strung with flatwounds it's a real tone monster, perfect for country, rock and blues. If I weren't a few days from penury I'd take it.
  18. Get a professional to look at it. If the sound Post isn't in the right place and you tension up the strings it could cause some serious problems. It should be a quick thing to do, but do it properly not the cheap way out.
  19. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  20. I had a Sire bass and it genuinely was amazing, I just didn't like the fact it was a 5 string. I also felt the active circuit was over- engineered. I'm not a musical snob even though I have the best part of a house deposit tied up in my basses. Personally I think these Sires are the best basses I've ever played at this end of the market.
