    If the last few years of social media have taught us anything, it’s a good idea to keep our opinions to ourselves unless we have a command of all the facts. The one positive is that everyone who bought tickets gets to enjoy a show. 2 hours of joyless jazz funk isn’t my bag, but if it’s yours I reckon there’s no better purveyor.

    Now £70 as I need the space.

    I had exactly the same malaise as you, Andy. Wasn't playing bass, so I did an art class, which was great fun. But I'm not able to paint with oils here as it stinks and nearly killed the cat (long story!). Started running again and riding mountain bikes and road bikes and just doing stuff without having to play bass. And it was/is great fun. A few years ago I joined a covers band playing funk and soul stuff, which has been great. No need to practice much as it's all simple stuff, and we play 30 odd gigs a year and I earn £100 for each. I also play guitar and run a charity cafe for older people where I bring a guitar and we play songs. I sold up all but the non-essential gear, and I'm a million times happier. Still a few bits to go. Basically, don't chuck it all away but don't feel bad about losing the passion for it. It'll either come back, or it won't. In the end, it doesn't matter.

    4kg but it’s sold now, so it’s weighing slightly more (in its package!)

    Anyone? Seems a shame to have this beauty sat here doing nothing…
  7. Burns-bass
    Still here. Any offers?

    They’re putatively for sale, but more likely an old man’s folly. I had a bass that was played by Entwistle. Bought from Barry Matthew’s and had photo provenance. I never even bothered to mention it to the buyer, as I’d forgotten.

    That reminds me I need to claim the cash back for an aborted pickup. That’s £20 I’d forgotten about.
  10. Burns-bass
    Now £185 without the Chromes (they’re being used on another bass and so aren’t available anymore).
  11. Burns-bass
    I bought a 2015 Les Paul Standard and they’re absolutely incredible guitars. I was going to sell mine but I just can’t. Basically, good luck with the sale!

    Bristol is full of venues for bands both original and covers. We did toy with the idea of leaving but it won’t happen when there’s so much here.
  13. Burns-bass
    That’s not always true. But by and large in my 20 odd years as a member this has been the case most of the time.

    That message came after I explicitly advertised an item for collection, the guy bought it then asked me to post it. It caused me untold hassle and ended up with him threatening to come up and punch me. I replied “you can pick up the amp when you arrive you *expletive deleted*” Then I got a nice email from someone and I realised Basschat wasn’t eBay. So I’m happy to post it, but only if you’re nice!

    Reduced to £80. I need to clear things out of my life.
  16. Burns-bass
    Reckon this is a pre CBS jazz of the future.
  17. Burns-bass
    I can now send this as I have a box.
  18. Burns-bass
    Pre CBS jazz bass. Sounded and played OK, but too expensive to take out the house. Played it for a few hours, hid it in the cupboard and then I nearly torched it with a paint stripper (long story!)
  19. Burns-bass
    PM me my friend.
  20. Burns-bass
    These are very highly regarded and almost always priced much higher!
  21. Burns-bass
    Guess festival season is over now!
  22. Burns-bass
    These are absolutely superb cases.
  23. Burns-bass
    Bump for a bargain strat with a rosewood board...
  24. Burns-bass
    Bump for price drop
  25. Burns-bass
    I forgot to message about this didn’t I? Sorry. All good if Richard needs it, otherwise I’ll grab it. Back to normal here now.
