Good thread! Must admit I tend to stick to the John Entwhistle / Wilko Johnson school of showmanship as there’s sufficient on-stage mayhem with the other guys. Generally focus on something towards the back of the venue just over the audience, and try to avoid slipping into doing the “chicken-neck” during the funkier numbers. Until a couple of years back we always had female lead vocals , and sad though is I definitely I miss the rear view……….

[quote name='evilLordJuju' post='636459' date='Oct 25 2009, 08:39 PM']i've fallen for something else on ebay... and I REALLY want it.[/quote] Something with more than one neck? Last couple of shipped sales I've used www.Interparcel.com, click on "Titan" option, selectable insurance level (up to a grand I think), fine about shipping musical instruments so long as it's in a box, cheap, reliable. I'm sure there's been a couple of threads about recommended couriers.

I still want the EB-2 on the wall, but bump for a classy, hand-built gee-tar -
Lorne's the man for this......... -
That was the tour ("Black and White") that I saw them on as my very first gig - Cambridge Corn Exchange. Gobbed on, gob-smacked - awesome Edit: "Hanging around" my fave!
-
Definitely not as common as f/less Jazzes, which is a shame as the plummy "P" sound is [b]so[/b] suited to it. Only Sting and Tony Frankin I can really recall as players (did Pino move from fretless Stingray to fretted P?) Mine still available BTW ( [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54801&hl=73"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54801&hl=73[/url] ), although it's returned to the back-line recently! Must try some flats one of these days......

[quote name='littleal' post='630542' date='Oct 19 2009, 05:24 PM']It reminds me of one that i sold around 5 years ago, the only difference is mine was fretless,[/quote] I like that. alot. Excuse my thickness, but what's the "8" thingy at the end of the board - something like the metal "slap plate" on Wilkins basses? Like the avatar too - I once rebuilt a BSA Starfire in a bedroom.......

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='629131' date='Oct 17 2009, 10:55 PM']If your not after Cash only, I'd point you towards Shaggy, he's got some cracking basses to trade AND he's looking for a Wal AND! he's right next to us in Swansea (save ebay commission + postage) AND!!! He's a great chap to do a deal with. Win win situation... [/quote] Many thanks for the good words Schnozzalee - was mightily tempted by this but I'm hanging on for a 2 p/u Mk1 custom fretless, and/or a Travis Bean. Must have let 3 or 4 (Wals) just slip through my fingers over the years, but one day...... 'Twas a pleasure to deal with you too - hope you're getting some good "mwah" from that Guild!
-
That's the one - down to £700 now! Rare birds those, though I agree, 2 p/u's is better Sorry to hijack your thread Jules.......

[quote name='joegarcia' post='626872' date='Oct 15 2009, 01:11 PM']Still got that EB-3L? Mmmmmmm. Any idea what they're worth out of interest?[/quote] There's a nice original '73 EB4-L on ebay Joe, around the £740 mark which is pretty good. I'd be v tempted if I wasn't skint, but I got as far as checking the shipping cost with him - 60 Euros from Ireland (£50-ish?) (can't access the link here, will edit in in later)

[quote name='cetera' post='625176' date='Oct 13 2009, 04:28 PM']Superb cab!!! I used to have one myself..... Highly recommended! Have a free early bump [/quote] .......whatever happened to it? I mostly DI/monitor these days, but I love this cab when I back-line, easily best I've ever owned. Not a lightweight, but travels easy on castors / tips single-handed into the back of the car. Not so good on stairs......
-
I'm after a JC case if someone whose preference is gig-bags wanted to pay less for bass only. Just a thought...... Anyway, bump for a lovely semi!

Stetson and Magnum PI moustache. Never fails.

FOR SALE: Thunderbird Bass - £60! Bargain Crazy BOSS GONE MAD!
Shaggy replied to Moos3h's topic in Basses For Sale
How about £60 for the Alfa....... Bump for a bargainacious 'bird! -
Met Oli today in sunny Swansea (it was, for a change!), sold him my old Guild B301-F, real bass enthusiast, top guy, great communication - thanks for a slick deal!
-
Well, I must be a "local person" as Martin sold me a very nice 9V power block from his "local shop"! Great, funny guy, smooth deal - thanks!
-
Did an amp / guitar trade with Tim last Friday, totally smooth deal despite my missing my motorway junction (I blame sub-standard English traffic cones) and having to hastily rearrange the meet at the next one down! Great guy, great communicator, great taste in gear, obviously a total nut about all things bass. Has a dubious relationship with his cat Would deal with again anytime!

[quote name='Gust0o' post='613602' date='Oct 1 2009, 10:02 AM']This is one stunning bass. It's a shame I could never sneak it past the wife. Have a bump.[/quote] Betcha could! I use several cunning plans for "sneaking past", one being that almost all of my basses are sunburst, so when another one joins the herd she doesn't notice..... -
Generally tend to tap the drum-lines, so maybe I'm playing the wrong instument. Earwigging a good bassline tend to make take up the "funky stance / walk" Exception is vocal basslines on Doo-wop records, can never resist singing along to those! Dook / dook / dook / dook of Earl / dook / dook....... etc

Guitarist mate just bought the ltd edition (I think) "Apache" guit*r in white / gold hardware, have to say it's beautifully made; the woods, finish, and set-up absolutely top-notch.
-
I only remember this as a cinema (briefly lived in Roath in te '80's - Angus st.), but I can imagine it making a hell of a great live music venue - could do with a similar one in Swansea. Damn shame, will be writing stroppy letter

[quote name='walbassist' post='608308' date='Sep 25 2009, 08:18 AM']I [b]so[/b] want this back! It's such a beautiful bass and plays really well; best passive fretless I've ever used.[/quote] Thanks for the good words walbassist, and gotta say I've never acquired a bass before or since this so well set up.
