I consider my teachers Ken Smith BT6 to be vintage. 1989..... I was born in 1990!! I looks vintage, but feels awesome You can still buy Smiths with that shape, and it is called the 'vintage' body!!

This bass is sat around now doing nothing, in its gig bag hidden away where it wont get damaged, it is surplus to my needs. I have tried to look after it, and it is in mint condition with only a couple of minor knocks. I am going to fit a brand new set of strings too.

It would make a great starter bass, and for that reason, I am going to make it into a nice little package. I will include the combo amp, lead, straps, tuner, bag etc...

The amp is as new, and I will supply it with the original box. It has never left my house.

I want £150 for this lot. It cost me much more, and it is only a couple of years old.

I am based in Blackpool, and would rather we meet or pick up... I may be able to post if I get chance, but that will be extra (+postage costs)

I will trade for almost anything. Drop me an email if you have anything to trade. Effects, Amps, Any Instruments (not neccesarily bass) looking for double bass, tuba, trombones, basses, etc. Car Let me know.... I may add a bit of extra cash....

Thanks very much,
Take care.

Now thats cool!

Neither of my Trace cabs have wadding, but neither does me really early GP11 combo... That just has a huuuuge port underneath!!!! I think it does have a Fane speaker in though.
The cabs sound fine without wadding in though... Im still very happy with them, though only bit missing is I have a 1048 cab, not 1048H, so I dont have a horn...still sounds the dogs danglies though!

Great to see another Overwater player on here - and one who also play bass trombone - that make two of us ...

My main bass in a Overwater Progress III custom fretless 5, also have a Bach Stradivarius Bass Trombone, although it doesn't get much of a look in these days, most of my playing is on bass guitar, but still do the odd show on trombone (maybe once/twice a year if I'm lucky, just about keep my hand in).

I currently contemplating another bass - fretted 5 this time, not sure I can run to another Overwater, but you never know

Glad you made it, and play the Goodwin charts too...

Cheers

Go on man, get another Overwater!! The Perception basses are great for the money!! Very very light too! I do love Chris' fretless basses though, and I really want one as a second bass!!
Play the bass trombone too, dare I say it..it is the best instrument around!! I love the bass trombone soo much! Awesome sound! If you ever wanna sell the Bach... The Yammy is awesome though! I went through a phase of wanting to get a custom instrument built, and tried a few Shires basses, but really, the Yamaha is nearly as good as the Shires, really is a great instrument!!! Superb slide, very responsive, great blow! I play with many big bands around, and Poulton-le-Fylde Brass Band, or any others if I get the chance..Freckleton! So much deppin' recently, and many shows too! Fantastic!! Been asked to do orchestral, but time doesn't allow unfortunately! Ready to do my grade 8 now, should have done it last year but with me doing GCSEs I haven't had the time, and need to get my theory done...my teacher at school keeps forgetting to enter me into the exam. Ever heard Eugene Bozza's New Orleans!? Thats the stuff!! Il send it you if you haven't. Still, I have only been playing, what, 4, for and a bit years... progressed bloody quickly lol! Playing at a semi-pro level really now! Woo!
Btw man, if you know of anyone selling a King 2B/3B for very cheap money, or any other pro small/medium bore bone, let me know!! I need to get one, lots of demand for me playing lead in big bands now too.... I keep having to borrow a 2B off my teacher, though he wont sell it for sentimental reasons. Lovely old HN White one it is too!!

Needless to say... we had to move before we were all shipped to Siberia as punishment :wacko:

great to see you back btw, what've you been up to?[/quote]

I have missed a lot then eh? Damn haha!
Been up to..erm, well, school work I guess GCSEs in full swing! Just been playing with Lancs Youth Jazz on bass guitar, and doing endless bass trombone playing! No free time what so ever! Joining National Youth Brass Band this year too hopefully, and may be playing with National Youth Jazz too, will see... Going to 6th form this year though, music and music tech. Can't wait!!! Its going to be awesome! Then I have an excuse to do as much playing in the evenings as possible, and all I do is study music all day!! Heaven!!!!

Cheers all!
Best Wishes,
Matt
