Very nice and great sounding Valencia classical guitar in beautiful condition. Model CG30R+ Ser No 4700359 Casa de guitarras Paid just over 300 Euros for this in France when I was eager to embark on my Gypsy Kings stage. It never happened. Could do with a set of strings but still sounds great with the old ones on. Used it once when someone requested Girl from Ipanema Comes with a gig bag. A quick dust and it'll look brand new. Ideally pick up from Ashill in Norfolk but could probably find a guitar box if posting is a deal breaker. Trade options, looking for a cheapy 5 string for pub gigs. happy to add a few quid.

Playing gigs sitting down. Pop/funk covers band. Acceptable?
leschirons replied to solo4652's topic in General Discussion
I did a little gig once at a really cool french bistro and the guy who got the gig said he fancied doing it seated so we did. Bit of Joe Cocker, Bozz Scaggs, Joe Sample so not ultra rocky stuff It was a great gig and I felt I'd played really really well that night. It was really comfortable sitting and playing and I'm wondering if I played well because I always tend to practice sitting down so playing, is just easier. If you think about it, most of us probably spent 75% of our playing time sitting down. I'd do it all the time if I could, health issues or not. -
I never mentioned mistakes. It's an overall attitude of that'll do, tempos up and down etc.

Just back from the second gig with a band I joined. Audience loved it, pub paid us an extra few quid, other band members had a great night as all they hear and see is the audience reaction and then believe their own publicity. I thought it was terrible and it seems that I'm the only one who can hear it apart from two others in the audience. My wife, a singer and bodrahn player and my brother, a guitarist and sax player. I need to knock them into shape before the next gig.

Fully working M-Audio 88 key controller. Have used it loads with the Roland JV1010 also for sale. Velocity keys (not weighted) comes with a non original PSU and can probably chuck in a MIDI cable if I find it. Only fault is the little volume slider plastic top thing is missing but I might be able to stick something on although slider is still easy to use as the metal bit still sticks up. Can't post as no idea how to pack it. Pick up in Ashill, Norfolk. More clearout stuff to come.

As above, Roland JV1010 sound module. All works, just plug it into a controller keyboard and you're away. Hundreds of patches including all the classic fave Roland stuff. Great for a studio or live. Trade option, cheapy 5 string for rowdy pub gigs. Collection Ashill Norfolk but could post, Guessing about £8 + ins if you want it.

Great fun bit of kit for studio or live. Adds harmonies (2 or 4, can't remember) to vocals. All working and comes with non original PSU. No box. Happy to post but PSU weighs a bit so ask for cost. Plenty of reviews on Youtube etc. No manual but really easy and obvious to navigate. If you're looking for something like this, you probably know what it does anyway. Thanks.

Ideally looking for a trade. Maybe someone out there who's decided that a 5 string is not for them. I bought this as a bitsa. It may, or may not have Fender origins however, it plays like a dream, as good as any standard Fender jazz I've ever owned. Nice low action, working truss rod. Wilkinson Jazz set, Wilkinson gold coloured bridge, gold control plate, gold tuners, gold strap buttons and gold Fender anniversary neck plate. It's very pretty in metallic cerise and black headstock and the tort plate. 38mm at the nut, 19mm string spacing, 9lbs 2oz at the bathroom scales. No idea of neck or body origin but I would guess it's a Fender neck as it's such nice quality. It has a head-stock Ser No dating to 1978 which is obviously not correct. (S829127) Neck has a beautiful honey hue to it and is seriously comfy and nippy. It sounds great, it plays great. Reason for sale (preferably trade) is that I'm doing pubs and don't want to take my immaculate Elwood 5a to have beer thrown over by p***heads so, I need a cheap 5 string about the same value. A Squier 5 (Jazz or Precision) maybe a battered far eastern Sterling plus a few quid from me, a nice OLP 5. Not really fussed about scratches, the odd dent or pickup configuration but not an Ibanez. Good as they are, I can't stand that SoundGear headstock. Don't care about string spacing and might even consider a cheapy 6er despite my arthritic wrists telling me no. I only need a B string for 5 numbers so pretty much anything will do. No case so handover preferred, or the usual dodgy car park within 15 / 20 miles of me. Welcome to come and try in Ashill near Swaffham/Watton IP25 7DA So, just let me know what you've got. Might say yes, might say no. Don't mind adding a few quid for the right one.

Fender Mexican factory mural... who's this?

It's Spartacus. (Unless of course someone else is) -
Do you think anyone's got the guts to gig like this?
leschirons replied to leschirons's topic in General Discussion
I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts/review as an actual user when they arrive Douglas. -

I sold my acoustic kit last year. This will certainly not take up as much room. I'm sorely tempted😂 -

If I'm honest, I'd give this a go for a laugh. -
Approximately 200 quid to spend frivolously. What are you getting?

Dinner at the Ivy. -
I've always played this as the intro being shorter than (and different to) the verses. We repeat the intro, before the solo which is the same as a verse. ...and you'll probably find that all of us play it differently anyway as it's just an end of gig racket that's usually in A😂

My wife's invited a few friends over and TBH, it's not really my cup of tea and would ideally, like to get rid of them by about 9.30 so, was wondering if you're free on the 26th😂

Music for the heart -> Lovesongs through all time
leschirons replied to a topic in General Discussion
Yup, Dusty was a one off. Always been a fan of her, but singing this song in particular, and gone are the days when all a solo had to do was mimic the vocal melody line. Same as on Girl from Ipanema, understated, but so perfect. -

The look of love. Beautiful song, beautifully sung. -
This is an easy one to answer. 1st. Simply, how I use and where I put my right hand fingers. 2nd. The spending of approximately £6,500,000 over the last 40 years on basses, amps and cabs, whilst totally convinced that this is the one😂

For the last 11 or 12 years, it's been a set of strings from my daughter. Trouble is, they're not £15 any more. Great when I was using Elites on a 4 string but now, my fave strings are La Bella white nylons, on a 5 string. A set is anything up to £70 these days so I think it'll be back to the good old standby £20 Amazon voucher from the kids from now on.

None really. Played probably a thousand gigs over 55 years, played with some great players, made some great friends and quite a few quid without having the pressure of relying on it to keep a roof over my head or put food on the table. However, selling the Roscoe Beck was a big mistake.😂
