[quote name='harlowbassplayer' post='502064' date='May 31 2009, 05:46 AM']hey jules how much repair need to be done with your bass does it work i been looking for a headless bass for years and how low on the price would you go for cheer lance[/quote] RADICAL PRICE DROP £140!!!!! Lance, it doesn't really need any work done. If you would like and honest independant appraisal of how it plays, King Tut (Colin) had a good play on it when he came over to buy an amp off me. I'm sure if you PM him he will give you the score on it. At this price you can't really go wrong for a backup bass. First person to offer this on here gets it, remember it is collection, or meet up reasonably close to Oxford. Cheers Jules

What acoustic / semi-acoustic bass to get?
MoonBassAlpha replied to 1976fenderhead's topic in Bass Guitars
I think King Tut has an electro Tanglewood he was trying to trade. Might be worth dropping him a PM MBA -
Did you recently go to a lighter gauge or different brand of strings? You could insert a tiny sliver of business card into the bottom of the A string slot and see if that sorts the buzz out. MBA

Just sold a Laney Supergroup 100 head to Colin. He's a nice bloke to deal with, communicated well and did just what he said he was going to do. A straight-up guy. Cheers. Jules (MoonBassAlpha)

[quote name='The Funk' post='500500' date='May 29 2009, 01:21 AM']Exactly why I wanted it. For the doom side project that may overtake the main funk project. As I replied first am I first in line or was I not definitive enough? [/quote] I'm sorry dude - beaten by PMs and firm offer! First one was <5 mins after OP! -

Nah! I'm not going to get in to this auction thing. Frowned on roun' these paaartz, they iz! I've got 2 offers at the asking, subject to approval of the pics. I may end up kicking myself if it turns out to be a bargain, but 1. I wasn't using it 2. It s tatty and had parts replaced so won't appeal to some twatty collector 3. As my old mate used to say, "Jules, life's too short, and so are you" -
**SOLD** Early 70s 100W Valve head. Laney

I've taken some photos, and looked at the valves. 2 Marshall el34 and 2 unnamed (older?) output valves, 1 Marshall ecc83, 1 Peavey ecc83, 1 Peavey 12AT7 (done from memory, could be wrong!) I thought it may be 73/4 but it could well be older. Anyone shed any light? just noticed a lot of 69s on the transformers - date codes? Had a quick play tonight through a tiny guitar cab and all is functioning correctly. I was surprised how little background noise there was with it full up too.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='499550' date='May 28 2009, 02:54 AM']Laney Supergoups are highly respectable 70's amps and on the cusp of collectability.[/quote] So if I said £600 I'd get more interest? Seriously though, I haven't seen any of these up for sale recently and am a bit out of touch in terms of "collectability" and "worth". Thanks for any input on these matters. I suppose I should get some photos done. Would you like that? -
Hi folks. A Laney Supergroup 100. For Bass or guitar. Had this kicking around for years. Got it serviced last year. I just haven't ever used it so may move it on. If there's any interest, I can post pictures. The equivalent Marshall would be worth tons but... Any interest at around £275 ? Cheers Jules

Hi folks I just wanted to pass on my experience of my first gig using my Lowdown 110 (75W) Because I had to take MY drum kit for our drummer (don't ask!) I didn't have the space (or, frankly the inclination) to take my Trace 300W combo. The gig was in a pub with a raised stage area, vocal P.A. (no monitors ) and acoustic guitar straight through the pa. We aren't a very loud band, but the amp competed fine with the drums and guitar and sounded quite nice, and the mix was "about right" according to 3 folks in the audience who are musicians. I had the master vol on about half, so there was a bit more in the bag too. At this setting it was still quite clean and undistorted, not sure how it would have fared if I'd pushed it more, but it didn't need it here. Pleasantly surprised. Jules

Trace GP12 SMX 4x10+hf combo

Hi folks This is sadly the last gig for The New Moon is it's current line-up. Our drummer, the Boy Cornelius is moving to Canada. The gig is at the Magdalen Arms, Iffley rd. It will be mainly acoustic acts, as it is an acoustic night, but we have had special dispensation to use drums as it's our last gig. So, any basschatters, please come along, and if you have any drummer mates, brothers or acquaintences, please bring them too! I think we will be up 8.30-9 ish. Cheers Jules PS its free to get in too

It's just nostalgia for the music people grew up with in their teens. You'll find it happens for every generation. That, and the pension thing!
