    Hi Keith, that's really good of you mate but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it to the event. Hope you all have a great day, I'm jealous of you with all those DBs in one place! Cheers Chris

    Folks, I've had a lot of enquires about posting this but having just checked the amount of bubble wrap and card packaging required (whilst a stick bass, it's actually quite deep in that the horizontal distance from the back of the scroll to the bottom of the fingerboard is over 30cms) and assessed the likelihood that I would need to take it apart before posting to ensure that the bridge, end-piece and tuners survive, plus £50 odd to post it, I think it's simply a no-goer, sorry. Chris

    [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1445501296' post='2891878'] On the Eminence, the T-shaped bit on the bottom of the endpin allows for slight side to side movement It doesn't swivel at all, but the sideplay is enough for the player to "dance" as much as you'd normally need to with a DB There's actually no risk of the Eminence swiveling like the Stagg can do The Eminence also has a small wooden plug in T shaped device, to rest the bass against your body This works rather better than those odd wire assemblies on the Stagg although due to the general stability of the Eminence, I wouldn't be worried if I'd got to a gig and had forgotten it. The Eminence also comes with a stand, which you can play the bass on This is useful for gigs where you're doubling up with bass guitar too.... Making switching between the 2 much quicker. Beedster, I just wondered how much risk of swiveling there was with Clarkson, but as you say, its' mass probably stops this risk occuring I just wondered whether you'd have more peace of mind if you had some sideframe thingys fitted? I recall one gig with my Stagg, where the stage seemed fine to everyone else, but my Stagg EUB just kept moving! I don't know what sort of polish the proprietors of the venue had used on it.... lol [/quote] I rehearsed this recently and actually after an hour or so the potential to spin didn't worry me, and I found I didn't even need to use my leg to lock it in place as I used to do when I gigged it. It could certainly benefit from a fake top bout, but as it's now for sale I'll let the next owner worry about that

    OK, here's the promised bad stuff! There are a few screws holding front to back together at the endpin. These face the back of the bass and could easily be painted over if it worried you. This bass has had some SERIOUS abuse and there has never been any movement at the endpin [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2433_zps5960e251.jpg.html"][/url] This is what the endpin goes into, and it doesn't allow much adjustment. I have cut my endpin to length so that the top end sits against the interior of the cavity. This means I can't adjust the length of the endpin, but that it's always set (and set solidly) for my playing height. I will provide a spare endpin so that the buyer can likewise set the height for themselves. [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2424_zpsbcb2c600.jpg.html"][/url] Several questions about PUPs. I will throw in either a Kent Armstrong mag PUP (mounts at end of fingerboard) that works but needs some tidying up, or a wing PUP. On this bass I'd recommend the former to be honest

    Used this a few weeks back and it was rather loud and rather lovely. I'm quite happy to keep it although I suspect that as we have three PAs in a five-piece band, the money invested in it could probably be put to better use

    £200 anyone?

    Too much stuff sitting around and too many PMs, so this can be had for £125 posted ahead of my eBaying it at the weekend. No haggling though, and no overseas shipping at that price

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1474388710' post='3137607'] No, not at all. I'm white, English, but I really like Bob Marley's work. It was probably Marley's work that brought reggae to the UK and I respect his influence. Full respect to him and all those who've followed. I imagine, also that there are Beatles influences everywhere too. What I am saying is I don't know how either have influenced Asia, Australia, South America, much of the USA.... the list goes on. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoFzMrpS7nw[/media] Enjoy! Edit. Didn't the Rolling Stones do a reggae number or two as well - that will be through Bob Marley's influence. This is a big question. I don't think anyone can really give a definitive answer. [/quote] Stones did some almost reggae with the likes of Peter Tosh and IIRC Sly and Robbie. I like it, probably not for the purists however

    I should mention that one thing that this [u]doesn't[/u] have is the spike allowing the player to angle the cab upwards (which I only realised when I was taking photos. I never used it so didn't notice it had fallen out).

    Probably had about 10 hours playing, all original packaging included. These were on a DB I sold last week but they came off to reduce the sale price of that (if that makes sense). I'm using guts exclusively now so these will otherwise sit around unused. I'll post pics later today. Chris

    [quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1473852231' post='3133539'] That's a deal right there for someone. [/quote] Yes I guess it is, thanks Tom Perhaps I had better start a thread for them! C

    You know the score with these. Small, light and very very good at what they do. Now using PA for everything so this is no longer needed.

    Which set did you get?
  24. Beedster
    Chris recently bought a bass from me, nice guy, knows his basses, and he made the whole thing so much less stressful by taking the time to come down and collect it! He also has the most impressive facial hair since Lemmy Enjoy that bass Chris, hell of an instrument

    Tom bought my lovely Gibson J-200 and I have to say that it was an absolute pleasure to deal with him, great coms, lovely chat about music and stuff, and a really trouble free transaction. Tom is Basschat royalty Cheers Chris
