Lee-Man

[quote name='stewblack' post='78765' date='Oct 24 2007, 12:22 PM']That sounds interesting. Skabilly? Not heard of this genre but it has me intrigued![/quote] It works a treat mate, suprisingly well actually.

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='78757' date='Oct 24 2007, 12:02 PM']i've got a sneaking suspicion the skabilly rebels is residing in the storage room at a certain studio in leicester. unless i've not read the skin properly[/quote] Almost right mate, we currently jam in Coventry, but Bear keeps his gear in Leicester as we both teach there.

If you get a chance try a Valenti (www.valentibasses.com), Nino's work is top and he's an ex-Sadowsky NYC employee too. Here's mine:

Brought a drum machine, bargin price and top condition. Nice guy to deal with.

+1 for the Hercules ones, I have three of them.

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='51238' date='Aug 27 2007, 11:29 AM'] 28" Sanyo widescreen TV and stand (like above). TV has an intermittent fault (sometimes the screen goes green) but it may be easy to sort out. Remote control included. Free to collector. We're near junction 4a of the M3 in Hampshire.[/quote] Just to be helpfull if you get a green screen while watching something through the scart socket it will prob be the scart socket or the scart lead pulling to one side. Hope this helps some one.

[quote name='99ster' post='49978' date='Aug 24 2007, 10:11 AM']I got a Furman for £50 (£200 retail) off eBay recently - they do come up quite often...[/quote] I think I only paid £25 for mine years ago cause the guy I brought it off had 4or 5 of them from doing raves and partys off generators.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='50701' date='Aug 25 2007, 10:05 PM']Yes, Dave's slipping a bit there... I don't know if you tried the JayDee as well, but that's in dire need of some TLC as well. Certainly didn't inspire me to buy either of them! If I ever open a bass shop, all used basses will be set up and have clean strings before they go on sale![/quote] I tried both of those at electro a while back and they both needed some love to say the least, also the 20th ann Stingray needed a good set up when I played it.

I use one as I find the power at festivals can be iffy at times.

I've been using a furman for too many years, it's been geat.

[quote name='bassjamm' post='48920' date='Aug 22 2007, 01:09 PM']Just what i was thinking of getting...any more thoughts on the Vic Bailey Lee? I was thinking of getting a 5 string and stringing it E - C. Can acoustics have a reasonably low action?[/quote] It's great, good funk sound. Pop over one day to try it mate.

I have a Fender Vic Bailey and it's excellent. The Sei acoustics were lovelly, but at £2500 6 years ago far too expensive

I have done a fair bit of business with both Gard and Grasshopper atr Bass central, they are both top blokes and always keen to talk bass.

[quote name='simon1964' post='35363' date='Jul 21 2007, 07:51 PM']I think I've seen these at Music Inn in Nottingham in the past. The bassist in one of the local blues bands in Nottingham plays a five string. I've not played one myself, but he raves about them.[/quote] Your right mate, I think they are the distributor, they have a 5er and two guitars in at the moment. Typical Musicinn test drive, £2k bass and £300 bass amp to try it through. Nice people though/.

Dave at Electro music has one in for £300 I belive, bargin if it's what you want
