    I posted about this here: I don't have the inclination to try to repair it so I am offering this for free. In terms of delivery I'll be able to drive it to you for some petrol money (within reason, say 150 miles). I'll also throw in a Peavey 15" black widow (no cab). The price says 1 but it wouldn't let me put 0 I'll leave this up until 10/1/20 and then it goes to the tip.

    I stopped playing in 1988 for 27 years. I started again but refreshed all my gear. Today after clearing out the loft hatches I rediscovered this. I mostly play 8 and 6 strings now and have a small bass combo. Not surprisingly (and disappointingly, the rig doesn't sound so good. I'm not sure if it's the cab (a Peavey 15" black widow) or the amp. I've nothing else to try then through. I've taken a shot of the front, rear and a clip of the sound. I thought it may be the valves but before I get some and get rid does anyone have any ideas? Trim.mp4

    I must agree with you there. Very few know them anyway. It's a loss but even if I like their music I'm not moved to grief. If they're old then they have probably lived the worth of 10 of our lives so good luck to them. Just think if the first words you hear when your born are "It's a boy Mrs Kilmister"

    I've not tried anything on the bass, my luthier skills are rubbish and I'm frightened I'd damage it. It is a nice bass. I went to Gear4Music and tried an upright. I didn't buy it which is a good job as Mrs Publico said "under no circumstances are we having a double bass in this house, I would rather you spend £2k on a fretless" After 40 years together I knew the consequences of taking option 2 so I didn't.

    For Sale is my Orange Crush 35W combo. It's been gigged once in a theatre production about 12 years ago. I bought it new for that gig. Since then it has sat in my office and as you can see there are no marks or scuffs on it. It is a great little combo. I'm open to delivery if you pay for the fuel (within reason) or could ship at your expense.

    For Sale, a Godin A4 Fretless. I bought it a couple of years ago and although I like playing fretless I can't get on with the lines, despite what Scott D says. They confuse me. It's only been used to play a couple of songs in a charity event so has had minimal playing whilst in my possession. I bought it as a bass that would sound like an upright and it hasn't disappointed on sound. It is a pleasant bass to play and I would be keeping it if it didn't have the lines. I have enquired after a new neck or replacing the fingerboard but this would be too costly. It is about 20 years old I believe and is not like the current models with the XLR midi output and the pickup along the top of the E-String. It weighs 8.3lbs. It comes with the original case which has a few scuffs. Stan the dog is not included. It is currently wearing Rotosound flats. it has a couple of discolourations on the body which I have shown in the pictures. I'm open to delivery if you pay for the fuel (within reason) or could ship at your expense. No trades as I will have to sell another one. You know the score

    is this still for sale?
  9. probonopublico
    This is weird, I have the exact same: 1973 black, got it refinished from sunburst, new pickguard (tort to black) nobs and pots. And you are right, it's a killer of a bass to play and sound. GLWS or bonne chance pour la vente
  10. probonopublico
    Yes but that is if they knew what one was.

    I play guitar in a folk/baroque band that uses acoustic instruments, some really strange stuff like a 12 sting violin, a serpent and a viol da gamba. I'm ok with the six string but I'd really, really, really like to go back to playing bass. And we have the chance of another guitarist but in a lot of places we don't have any power around us . So my options are: Get a double bass Get a Roland cube with batteries Get a small pokey mains combo and a portable 240v power supply that could last up to an hour or two. Option 1 I would like, it's just the space it takes up Option 2: I'm not sure it would work acoustically So, does anyone have any knowledge of option 3? Help me get back from the dark side.

    I want the table on the Darryl Jones video

    Cummings sanitary, Fender Jazz is a little more difficult without using jazz in the anagram
  14. probonopublico
    I've got a jazz as well but they don't seem to be as controversial. Although I have got a music stand and a 2015 Les Paul Junior.

    I'll keep my head down. I've got a P and a Rick. I've not got piles though. Or an IPhone.

    Phaser well and truly earned
  17. probonopublico
    I suspect you are right Rich. There will be a mention of tractors and a 5 year plan.
  18. probonopublico
    Sadly it would cost me twice as much (missus gets an equal amount). A ray is on my shopping list but redundancy looms.

    Wow. Great pics. Thanks for the high res. The neckplate is in good condition, better than the one on cheesey guitars. You can read the Cyrillic, well if you know what it means. I play in a band with a fiddle player who does a bit of Russian, I'll see if he can translate. I love the way the colour burst is repeated on the back of the head. Thanks Happy Jack and Silvia.

    Thank you Silvia I'll take a look at that Newfound freedom you are correct. I didn't know about the Bulgarian. Thanks for that, you get the.points. the star prize, if you want it, is a phaser pedal that i bought for Dancing in the Moonlight by Thin Lizzy. The singer pulled out at the last minute so its unused. PM me where to send it and you can be Phil Lynott.
  21. probonopublico
    oooh yes please. Can you get more of the back, I'm keen on seeing the neck plate and machine heads
  22. probonopublico
    the closer I get to it the more beguiling it gets. Thankfully I'm in Yorkshire so I can't come round and stalk the bass
  23. probonopublico
    I am intrigued. I may try this on my wife and suddenly buying that choco burst Stingray from Chilliwailer does not seem that bad after all
  24. probonopublico
    Now I'm worried, I'm finding this slightly attractive in a "give me that and a guitarist who only knows 3 chords and we'll form a punk band" kind of way
