Squier Bronco, 30" think the colour is called Torino red. Had the bridge changed like the newer ones but the original two bridge piece one is included. 

Plays nice, holds tuning well, weighs about as much as a Richmond sausage, ridiculously light. This is an Indonesian one, not Chinese. Sounds great, could do with a set up and a real set of shortscale strings. Truss rod not seized, and fully working. Comes with a not great gig bag.

Belongs to a mate's daughter who's lost interest hence, I've been handed it to sell. Play as is or mod for a project.  Actually quite surprised how easy these are to play. Anyway, there it is. They're about £160 new so £90 seems fair. 

Pick up from Swaffham area or can post at buyers expense and responsibility.

Three books.

Jaco, by Bill Milkowski (with the CD)

17 Watts, by Mo Foster

Jazz in perspective, the background of the Blues, by Iain Lang (1950s?)

All in good condition

Can post if required, probably about £4 for UK as 2kgs

Nine wall hangers, the type that's marked "UP"  Left over from the days when it wasn't unusual for me to have 25 guitars and basses.

They swivel so as your Fender head stocks don't dictate a wonky display 😅

One, has one rubber sleeve missing.

£20 collected or £29 posted UK.

This is helpful thanks. Do you have a link to the batteries you bought?

Ultramax NP12-6, 6v 12Ah 20HR (as 10Ah) Rechargeable Toy Car Battery https://amzn.eu/d/6NRPXPN

So, not being a techie, if I change my BC password and let my phone generate a new one, will that automatically save that to the Google password thing and also appear on my desktop PC?

Or do I have to physically put it in the PC?

1992 Washburn Festival EA20WR. Equis 2 preamp. XLR and 1/4 jack outputs. Fabulous sounding guitar with a very playable neck.

Neck wise it doesn't feel much different from my Tele so ideal for  any electric skinny stringers that want to add some quality to their sound (😉)

Fully working truss rod. Body is in fantastic condition with a lovely florentine cutaway for great access. Frets great, comfy low action (no buzz whatsoever)  sounds lovely plugged and unplugged.

Vintage hard case included (not padded so will be bubble wrapped  inside but would ideally like collection as it's good to try before you buy.

It's one of those guitars you just have to pick up and play every time you walk past it.

I've now got La Bella white nylons on all basses, even a 5 string EUB.

Had them on my 5 string Elite jazz but took them off when I sold it. Put them straight back on the Elwood 5a replacement. Just love the feel and how they sound. Also have them on my 4 string P  and 4 string jazz.

How about just dropping it for "Life in the fast lane" ?😉

Back in our comfort zone after the hiccup last year. 2nd from last in the sack race 🤣

I thought the intro on the "live" version was going to lead into "A Little Respect" by Erasure.

I've heard hints of Life on Mars and Design for life so far. But I guess if there are only eleven notes....it happens.

Now heard them all, has to be Belgium for me. Only one with a hook that was seemingly written to be accessible to a large audience immediately. All the others, self indulgent minor key Eurocrap.

Managed to bluff it until the break/buffet. 

 

 

A year later.

First gig on bass with Woolworth "Top Twenty", vaguely Precision shaped object with three strings. 

It stayed like that all through that band. Amp was a Selmer "Treble and Bass" with matching cab.

We played the likes of "What's Going On ?" (Taste), "Black Night" (Purple), with no keyboards  etc

I think it was a church youth club.

Great number, What's going on. Used to open with that in one band I was in.  Still have the Album somewhere (On the boards)

16 years old, in the Mildmay tavern, North London. We were going to get £15 

That is, until we were told to leave after the first set as we refused to play "Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner" at 10.15 which was the landlords way of telling the punters it was last orders. 

We refused because we were a rock band, although the real reason was because we had no idea how to play it as we were s h I t😂

We were called LION  and here is that band ( me on the left, 1968.

I've got a pair of these. Top notch. Nothing to compare for the money. 

£650 is cheap. Especially in that condition.

A grand? Wow, cod and chips for two at Rick Steins!!

Don't see it as a problem as I don't sit there just looking at the top of the page. Once you scroll down and start reading stuff, it disappears up above.

You'd probably be better off going to the Late Lounge just up the road in Rhyl...

I can't imagine Bodelwellyn will have anything more than EZ listening.

Though many, of course, prefer the less difficult road to musical nirvana and positively revel in being right in the middle of it!

We're at the Warner's hotel in the castle. (Wife's 70th birthday) and that's what's on. Seems a bit weird then going out somewhere else to see a band as I guess I've sort of paid to see these ones already😄

Damn, I was just about to start a thread on the 10 most important threads😭

We're staying here till Monday. Be nice if there was BCer on the bill.

Covers band called Viva and a Fleetwood Mac tribute. Go your own way.

Okay,

Here we have a Conn alto (called a shooting star due to the bell engraving) 

These don't generally have the greatest reputation if you're into saxophones however, this one, does not conform to the usual opinion. It's got a great warm and rounded tone, blows superbly, no leaks, 

pads not that old by the looks of it. Comes with a Conn flight case, a Yamaha 4c mouthpiece and lig and some cork grease and a strap.

A great starter sax that will also hold it's own on gigs. NOT the usual Conn starter level instrument.  I guess this was the one that got built before they all clocked off for the first round of Tequilas. No real issues except a few age related marks and one screw missing from the lower guard (pic 4)  It's £175 which is not a lot for a well usuable alto. Postage no problem or try out, and pick up near Swaffham. Tea/coffee/biscuits supplied.

Thanks for looking.

Bought an alto sax from S'manth for my brother (not a member)

Fantastic packing job, great deal, instrument as described.  Delivered when expected. Five star service all round.

Highly recommended.  Great seller.

I seem to remember a period (80's?) When bass players and drummers found themselves pretty much redundant for studio work due to the advent of programming. I also remember the next big thing which was software that added the "human feel" back into tracks as they sounded too manufactured. 

I've always played in front of the beat and I'm aware that I do it. Not saying it's right, or good and try as I may, can't change but eventually, it seems to become integral to the sound that the band has.

On the other hand, I suppose it could be any one, or more,  of the technical possibilities that have been proffered.

Mentioning a red RBV has started my 'condition' again. More cold showers at frequent intervals I'm afraid. Where did I put my loofa? 

Found a couple. Really should have kept this.

I should have an old pic on the PC. I'll have a look. 

The bass. Red Roscoe Beck Jazz 5

The guitar.  Hamer Steve Stevens

They've welded some square steel tubing to form a "body" by the looks of it. 

Yes, exactly that. Super stable, but heavy. Apart from a proper bridge, all the rest was odds and sods.
