    I'll be there representing Tech Music School. I'm playing with a trio on the Boom stage (in the cafe) at 1:30pm. It's with Adam Betts on drums and John Wheatcroft on guitar. See you there! Andrew

    It's on iPlayer: [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00tt9jp/A_Concert_for_Heroes/"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00tt...ert_for_Heroes/[/url] It starts at 1hr33 ish. Jerry's bass is early 60s - can't remember the exact year, and he has the highest action and heaviest strings possible! The Ashdown doesn't appear to me miked so just a preamp/DI that we're hearing.

    SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD For sale is my Fender Jazz fretless. Made in Mexico. Has Seymour Duncan SJB-1 pickups installed (currently around £50 each) and the originals will be included with the sale. This is a two-tone (tobacco?) sunburst with rosewood board and white scratchplate. I bought this bass new from the Bass Centre in 1997. I used it a fair bit to begin with, but less so in recent years. I recently got a 5-string fretless and this is now surplus hence the sale. The bass is in good condition. There are a couple of minor dings and scratches - the worst of which are pictured: the bottom corner of the bass near the jack socket and also a shallow ding on the back of the neck near the headstock end. I have always used nickel roundwound strings on this bass and the fretboard is lightly scored. This is fairly light though and none of the wood appears to have been worn away. This bass plays well and has a really good sound when played acoustically - it has received a lot of compliments over the years. Included in the sale will be a lightweight Warwick gigbag that is in good condition (and the original pickups). [b]NEW PRICE £300 no trades[/b] Collection from Ealing, West London much preferred. I can look at posting this though as I do have a suitable cardboard box for the purpose.

    Vintage gear is expensive (unless you're really lucky!), but starting off with not-so-vintage and then 'trading up' can be a good way to go. I started with a 72 P-Bass - played it to death for a good few years and then sold that, a few other bits and bobs and put in a few hundred pounds and got the 62. I traded up/older by 10 years! Unless you're really unlucky you're very unlikely to lose out financially with a vintage instrument. It's great that you can get some use out of something whilst it slowly increases in value, or at worst stays the same. If only the same was true with cars! The obvious problem being that if you can't bear to part with instruments and have to keep them all along the way - that's going to get very expensive indeed!! Anyone else done the same? Andrew

    I use my 62 P-Bass and 64 Jazz bass all the time. Both are refins so don't need to be kept in showroom condition - I just don't put them on planes. The P-Bass I got at Vintage & Rare in Denmark St and has add some sort of re-lacquer at some point in its life. The 64 Jazz I bought on here from slobluesine and has had a nice relic refinish done on it. Andrew [attachment=58173:IMG_4519.jpg]

    For me an active bass sounds better when played alone - a more full-range, impressive sound. But when playing in a band a passive bass seems to sit so much better. Also the dynamic range seems greater - when you dig in the notes really jump out just how you want them to. Suits the music I like to play anyway! Andrew

    Nice to see that the drummer, Kenwood Dennard went on to much more serious musical endeavours: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLxNIMeaq_k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLxNIMeaq_k[/url] Andrew

    Hi, It was me that did the review in this month's Bass Guitar Magazine. I did some comparison recordings which are now on the BGM website here: [url="http://www.bassguitarmagazine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=429:p-retro&catid=48:demos&Itemid=102"]http://www.bassguitarmagazine.com/index.ph...&Itemid=102[/url] Cheers, Andrew

    How about Chicago Music Exchange? Or this site seems to have a database from all over the states: [url="http://www.gbase.com/default.aspx"]http://www.gbase.com/default.aspx[/url] Or bambibau on eBay from Italy has some great stuff. Are you sure it's not a Jazz that you're after....... !! Andrew

    Yes - it sounds good. You can get a really nice warm overdrive sound and don't lose bottom end. I've also used when recording to get a warm, slightly overdriven sound which it did well. Main negative point for me is that it's quite big! Not a problem for a lot of people I'm sure. Anrew
  21. 62P-Bass
    Yes - I got one! Don't use it very much though. Sounds great, but I don't often have the need for distortion. Andrew

    FOR SALE Fender Jazz Bass - 1962 Reissue - made in Japan The previous owner fitted Dimarzio Model J pickups. The original pickups are included with the sale. Also included is a hard case (as pictured). According to the Guitar Dater Project this bass was made in 1993 - 1994. The bass has seen a fair bit of use in its life, and as such has picked up a few marks. There is nothing major, or anything that affects the playability of the instrument. There are some marks on the face of the body near where your arm rests (pic 07). The headstock has a couple of scratches on it (pic 04). There is a chip on the back of the bass near the bottom right corner (barely visible in pic 06). Also the bottom edge of the bass has a fair few dings and scratches (pic 08). These are the only issues with this bass. It is a very playable instrument, sounds great and is well put together – as you would expect with the Japanese-made Fenders. Price: £400 (no trades) Collection preferred. If posting, the cost will be additional. This bass is available to try in Ealing, West London. Cheers, Andrew [attachment=47183:01.jpg] [attachment=47185:02.jpg] [attachment=47187:03.jpg] [attachment=47188:04.jpg] [attachment=47189:05.jpg] [attachment=47190:06.jpg] [attachment=47191:07.jpg] [attachment=47192:08.jpg] [attachment=47193:09.jpg]

    Go and sit in with the regular player at least twice while they do it. Take a copy of the pad and recording of the bassist's headphone mix. Practice it loads. Go in and try to play like the regular person. That's it! It can be quite a lot of work to get it together in the first place, but once you're up and running it's a very straightforward and civilised way to do a gig and earn some money. Also, the standard of musicians in West End pits is very high so although the material may not always be your preferred choice, it can be a very musically rewarding experience. Andrew

    Highly recommended - great seller and very happy with my new cabs. Thanks Mark! Andrew

    A question for you pickup resters! How do you mute the other strings you are not playing? With your 'spare' (3rd & 4th) fingers? Or another way? The main advantage of 'floating thumb' or 'moveable anchor' techniques are that they mute strings that you are not playing. Just wondered what the main way of dealing with this is for people who never move their thumb off the pickup. Andrew
