  1. Pre-CBS Jazz bass of the future this one.
  2. Being in a band that develops a great sound usually takes time and commitment. I started playing with a friend of mine who’d never played live before. He is, by all accounts, a bit mad. In the beginning it sounded terrible, but now he’s pretty good. It’s taken over a year to get there. I play jazz with a group of beginners, too. Musically they’re pretty terrible but they love it (and turn up every week on time - that means a lot). I used to want to be cool in bands, now I just want to enjoy time with great people. If you like these guys and want to work to make it better, then good for you. If you’re looking for the perfect band, then it’s probably better to start one than try to find one. If you decide to quit, do it amicably. When you start pointing out the faults of other people they’ll usually find a few of your own, so tread carefully is my advice.
  3. Good question! It’s two double sided pages. Personally, I’m not sure many people would want the Baka Marimba Band on their wall, but what do I know?
  4. The band name too, I’d suggest...
  5. It must seem like I’m monopolising the listings as I clear out my music room, but hopefully not. Here I have 2 vintage Bassman catalogues. These are pretty dull, but at the back is a cool picture of vintage Fender basses. Size is approximately A5. £6 each Fender Album of Stars This was a CBS promo item that (I think) dates from the late 60s. It was full of A4 photos of Fender artists and stars that could be cut out and framed. Most are gone, with only two sheets left- but you do get the iconic Monk image! Must be of interest to someone, how about £6. If you’re interested, here’s the full catalogues: http://musicmansteve.com/paper/AlbumStars.htm Prices don’t include postage. (All proceeds will go to a new bass that I’ve fallen in love with for sale on Basschat!)
  6. Seems this has all gone now. If anything changes will Update.
  7. I’m still decluttering in a massive way and now clearing out some stuff from my former music room (which is now my daughter’s bedroom). I’ve got a cheap 7 guitar rack stand. This is solid. I’ve replaced a number of bolts today and it stands up well. It’s not a brand name, it’s cheap and cheerful. The metal on the corners has bent a little bit, as you can see in the images. Looking for £12 3 x Stagg Guitar Stands These are 3 identical Stagg guitar/bass stands. All new but have been stored which has left a few marks on the rubber. These are inexpensive when new, so looking for £8 each. It’s collection only, unless you want the whole lot, then I’ll be able to wrap it up and courier it to you for a few quid. Fender bass not included!
  8. Here we have an unused Wolf End Pin. This was a spare but my new bass has a carbon fibre post, so it’s not going to be used. £11.50 including delivery seem fair?
  9. Also there’s a jack socket and a couple of strap buttons too.
  10. Free. Send me a few quid for postage! Can pack up and send ASAP.
  11. Haha, I know - it’s funny. I found the same, the booking fees are incredible sometimes!
  12. Better than £38 though!
  13. Buy them here at the proper price... https://www.ticketweb.uk/event/cory-wong-swx-tickets/9483635?REFERRAL_ID=tmfeed
  14. It seems you might be buying it on a reseller site? When I looked at tickets for a friend they were £18.50 plus booking.
  15. Agreed. These will increase in value better than your pension fund.
  16. That is exquisite.
  17. Just Pizz. What you’re experiencing is common. I’d say that when a pro looks at it and does the work we’ve all had done the bass will sing. They really are lovely.
  18. Snap! I had exactly the same work done by Martin Penning.
  19. I had this issue and it was a poorly shaped and fitted bridge. The legend that is Martin Penning sorted it, and the bass now sings (or rather it would of it wasn’t hidden away in my spare room to stop the kids destroying it).
  20. Hi Tom, all still here! I’ll PM you.
