sold pending payment

A few sei basses have graced my hands!

Nice bass this, superb craftsmanship, went in favour of a solid colour





This was and is a nice, bass, made for Paul Turner! Last five I owned before going back to four

Hello

Here's a few jazzes and a T-bass that passed thru, briefly!

MIJ 70's reisuue!



and a Fender deluxe jazz, that did a few gigs with me a while back, nice bass, but I don't do sunburst (or nice woods, just solid colours these days)



Had a T-bass 5 for a while, great bass, but these need to have four strings IMHO lol

Got a fair few images on my server, gonna start with the fretless bunch

First up is a nice bass collection five I owned a few years back, I forget where it was made, but one of the better jap' builders from what I recall



The came a Pedulla buzz, THE fretless, but it really didn't suit the band I play in! I willown another of these at some point in my life





I changed to a more trad' look with the aquisition of a GL2500, but fives were just not needed anymore, so this went in favour of a Jazz, the LPB in the first post



A brief visitor was this Iceni funkmeister, cracking bass, but with a marriage that had fell apart and a much needed break in Kos looming, I needed to get some $$ back in!

Been meaning to do this for while, so here goes!

Got loads of photo's of what came before this lot, will add them later

First up is my Musicman Stingray, 2005 Ltd edition, the tasty bettercream job!
This is my manin gigging bass, currently running a John East pre
This is the second time I have owned this bass! I had it when I joined the band I am in right now, but was playing 5 string at the time, so it went to fund other gear for the new gig I had. Eventually I switched back to 4 string with the band as there was no need for the extra string. I played a jazz for a while, but had GAS for a 'ray, especially one of these. Fortunatley, the guy who I sold this too no longer required it, so a deal was done! Suits my band sound and style and sounds great through my Matamp rig


Next up is my seafoam green jazz.
This si currently up for sale as the 'ray is my main bass right now
Came from the US, wanted either a seafoam or sonic blue, took a lot of searching to find one. I really like the 70's styling with the blocks. Cool bass and great to play
But it ain't getting playing and I want to try some new sounds in the band



Next up is my Fender deluxe fretless jazz in lake Placid blue
Just had a badass III bridge fitted
I play fretless on a few tracks with my band, I unashamedly play lined fretless, can't be arsed making the switch to unlined
This will be going soon, I love playing it, sounds great, but I have GAS for the MM style fretless sound



A recent aquisition, Lakland hollow body fretless, in a nice red, christened "the trace bass"
My band can do most of our set acoustic, so I wanted something like this for that reason. But I also wanted to do the acoustic stuff fretless and this came up, 34" scale as well! Sounds great, fretboard is like glass! Just bought a Markbass booster pedal for it, so I can use the vintage speaker filter, I like that on fretless! So the markbass pedal and a tuner will be all I need with this for acoustic gigs (and a small combo)



Last of the current crop is a jap' Fender P! fitted with wizard p/ups and finished in photoflame! Not my first choice of P, but it serves a purpose. It's got some weird marks on it from an incident a few years back. Gonna change this at some point, I want a black or white P with RW board
I got hold of this for a specific reason! Sometimes we have Aziz Ibrahim do a guest slot with us, he will do two of the songs he wrote with Ian Brown, My Star and Corpses. So this gets used for My Star as it is played on a bass that is detuned a full tone, and the sound of a P suits it



More to come I guess, got some GAS going on right now!

I'll also start adding some visitors from the last few years, there has been a lot!!!

I bet that was a shock, bump!

Great player

Did a gig in brixton last year and simon Bartholemew played guitar, what a nice guy had a good long chat with him after our set!

Nice work Simon!

Tony

Soul to squeeze is nice to play!

Great track, even though the later albums are not of the same qaulity of BSSM, they still provide good listening, always good for a blast in the car!
Good vids too, was watching Dani California and By the Way on You tube last night!

for many years I played an EBS TD650, with 2 4x10 cabs, used to use just one cab at smaller gigs. This was and is a great rig!
Then I tried the valve thing, first of all a Fender bassman head thru a 4x10, it sounded great and the comments from the rest of the band that night, prompted a bit more digging
The obvious choice for that tone was a Mesa head, but I was lucky and ended up with a Matamp GT200 and 2 matamp 4x10's
It's a heavy rig, the amp can be a killer, but 2 arms underneath it moves it around

The tone is superb, valve amps seem to bring out so much more of the bass!
Then there is the volume thing. my band can be loud and it wasn't uncommon to be running the TD650 between 1/2 and 3/4 volume, I ran it thru the eq section, but had it set pretty flat most of the time, with a the drive up a bit
The GT200 hasn't been above 1/2 way yet, I shudder to think whatr it does beyond that, it's just f'in loud, very loud, loads of headroom and loud!

Tony

Only had this a short while, but my previous crop of pedals pretty much does what it does, plus I got a 3 leaf GR incoming! sounds cool though!!
