Bassist for Kylie Minogue - BBC Radio 2 Hyde Park Concert

I should be so lucky! I'll get me coat. -
What do you call a banjo at the bottom of the sea ................. a start!!

As I have said in another ad, I have a couple of new basses incoming and I am finally giving up on maple fingerboards. This is a 2011 MIM Classic 50's Precision in 2 tone sunburst. It weighs a very respectable 9 lb exactly on the scales. It's in excellent condition and is a really good instrument. I would prefer to hand over in person (the bass is in Portsmouth) but I am also happy to drive a reasonable distance if that helps. That way, you get to try it and I don't have to argue with any courier customer service operative. Bump for price drop. Please note it comes in an excellent SKB fitted case (currently over £100 at Thomann). -
Two reasons for this sale. I have got two custom made basses incoming and, despite trying, I just don't really get on with maple boards. This is a 2004 CIJ 57 reissue in a gorgeous candy apple red. It's 8lbs 12oz on the scales so a very nice comfortable weight. Build quality is the usual Japanese high standard and it has plenty of punch. Stunning looking bass in the flesh and it has been upgraded with a wiring loom from KiOgon. Much prefer to hand over in person and would be prepared to travel a bit to do that (I have driven over 2 hours in the past) and also has the advantage of try before you buy and no couriers!! Price drop to £550. It comes in an excellent SKB fitted case. -
FS: '73 Precision Fretless maple board **SOLD**
Steve Browning replied to Beedster's topic in Basses For Sale
Note the smiley in my post. It is very admirable and very much in the spirit of what I try to think of this forum. So, all of you folk PM'ing, take a look at mine and make an offer!! -
FS: '73 Precision Fretless maple board **SOLD**
Steve Browning replied to Beedster's topic in Basses For Sale
I guess my '75 will be with me for a while longer. 🙂 Amazing price. -
There will be a 2TSB and maple but it'll be my Classic 50's from Mexico. There will be two 3TSB with tort plates added, a candle apple red 57 with maple along with the 75 fretless already in the For Sale. Anyway, ads need to be prepared so I will aim to do it at the weekend.

That he is. Also guitar tech for Robben Ford and Pete Townsend. A lovely guy and real cratfsman. Thanks. I believe it will prove to be so.

Well. I have been an avid Fender user for the last 50 odd years. Ok, I'm not deserting the design but I am getting a pair of basses built by the brilliant Simon Law at SVL guitars. That means a batch of Japanese Precisions will be hitting the For Sale section soon. Wonderful basses and I will always sing their praises as being exceptional instruments but a pair of mocha basses based on my terrific 66 P'bass is too good to miss. Simon is principally a guitar builder but I am super excited at the prospect of a pair of SVL basses. His work is stunning in quality. http://www.svlguitars.com/index.html Pictures will follow (eventually).

No mention yet of James Dewar. He sang for Robin Trower for many years. Wonderful voice and, sadly, no longer with us.
-
Thank you all for your comments. Some good information and all being filed away!
-
Thanks both. Yes, I was intending to buy according to audience girth!!
-
Having seen the propensity for people to buy band t-shirts, even at quite humble venues, my band is thinking of offering such quality merchandise itself. Does anyone have any recommendations for suppliers? We are looking at a logo on a plain black t-shirt.
-
Yes. I was a fan back in the day and agree about Danny Kustow, a very fine guitar player. TR seems to be a very genuine and pleasant bloke although I have to disagree with his taste in Cortinas, my 1600E was aubergine.

Did we overrun? Very sorry about that. I always have a kitchen clock that is positioned at th singers fet so time can be measured but it wasn't present at SOL. Barry was in a lot of discomfort and was still in a state when I put him on the plane on Tuesday morning. He did well to play at all. You might have seen we had to even put his guitar on for him!
-
Thank you chaps! The van is repaired (2nd hand engine - £950 + £890 labour) and it's just done a 2 week UK tour without a hiccup so all good. I am tempted to withdraw the bass but I have sort of mentally said good-bye to it. I am looking to get an SVL bass made so this can still go.
-
Great.
-
You could get a Tutmarc for your year.

I keep thinking about this. My late dad was a saxophonist and inherited his wonderful 1937 Selmer Balanced Action tenor. It seems such a shame that it isn't being played.

Don't post a picture or you'll bring John Hall down on us!!

Well Phil May did sing in the Diesel Band with John Coughlan!! I know that's not what you meant!! -
Hanging out with a Rolling Stone
Steve Browning replied to Cat Burrito's topic in General Discussion
I was touring with the Pretty Things at the time Bill Wyman left and we teased Richard Taylor about asking for his old job back. I used the common shortened term of his name but it seems that it is not permitted. We weren't so formal in the band!!! -
Don't part with the '73. It's the better bass and is appreciating. The road worn will never be worth anything like that. Not always a factor but worth bearing in mind.

It seems the ex Fleetwood Mac guitarist has died. http://bestclassicbands.com/fleetwood-mac-danny-kirwan-death-6-9-18/

So did I!! Perfectly packaged and delivered very quickly. Thanks for a great deal, brilliantly conducted. Steve
