  1. This beast has been the workhorse of the majority of my years as a bass player, but since I upgraded my rig a few months back it's been sitting unloved and unused in my house. I'm pretty sure most will be familiar with this rig, but if you're in need of a few details, it's the older model with a Sheffield 1x15 speaker... it's been gigged loads, but it's built like a tank (and understandably, a bit on the heavy side). The only superficial damage is some from countless scrapes and bumps, and the loss of the logo on the grill (which I didn't like anyway). I'm open to offers on this - would ideally like to shift it before I move out at the end of June. Pick up only. I'm in LS6. Been trying to find a decent picture; all I could come up with was this! Will upload a better one if there's demand... [attachment=26323:n5117848..._4617801.jpg]
  2. Another new one... 'Living in the future'. In my mind it sounds a bit Eno circa [i]Another Green World[/i] if he'd had an 808 and gated reverb.
  3. I didn't go, but I saw him last year at Leeds Uni. Funkiest, tightest band ever... ...probably.

  5. Well, my first experience of the basschat marketplace was a good 'un, and thanks to Kalim I am now the happy owner of a Little Mark II. I couldn't find a feedback page for him, so here it is! He is a pleasure to deal with - had no problems directing me to his house when the directions off Google got a bit misleading (well, they probably weren't that bad, but my sense of direction is mediocre at best), and his rig was set up for me to try out when I got there. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this fella!
  6. [attachment=24729:Image182.jpg] My new rig - Kalim sold me the Little Mark II earlier this week, and when the Aguilar GS 112 arrived on Friday afternoon I was like a kid at Christmas. A massive upgrade (well, in terms of quality rather than size) from my 1x15 Peavey combo that had been my workhorse for however many years. I'm in love!
  7. [quote name='RhysP' post='474270' date='Apr 28 2009, 03:32 PM']My attitude has always been "If you want me in your band you can bloody well come & pick me up". I haven't been in a band for a while now....... [/quote]
  8. 80s-tastic. It'll be a crime if you wear them any lower than north of bellybutton.
  9. I don't drive. I really should learn, and I will have time after uni, but I'm also a bit put off by how expensive it is. Seems like I'm getting more frugal since I left home, haha. Right now I don't really need to though - most of my gigs are with my function band, and we have a van, so all the gear is usually accounted for. However, I'll be kicking myself if I get a call for an amazing gig one day and I have no way of getting myself and my rig there. Well that got the topic onto a good start, didn't it. Sorry, I'll shut up now.
  10. Listening now. So far I'm really digging 'White & Blue Flower' - some well chosen chord voicing on the pianah, lovely melodies and your singer has great tone. However,as it's already quite full as vox/piano/cello it does get quite muddy when bass and drums enter towards the end. That's my only real criticism though! You've got a great sound here. Giving 'Floating Thoughts' a proper listen now - again, I really like it! Nice one.
  11. I really love some of her tunes and her ridiculous playing, but I'm not so sure about her band. They're definitely very 'Berklee' to my ears - technically very good, but they seem a bit characterless to me. Would still like to see live though!
  12. New improved mixes (in my opinion) now up on the player. The track that had the somewhat impersonal and meaningless working title 'Twentyfive' is now called 'At the very thought'. Enjoy!
  13. There's something very entertaining about the way the lead character runs. I don't know. Maybe it's just me...
  14. eeeeeeeeeh tempted! I'd quite like to sort out a new head first, and although I wouldn't have gone for green myself, that's a good deal. Is it wrong that I'm too bothered by aesthetics?

  18. Anyone seen the new range of amps in stock anywhere yet? If not, anyone have any idea of when they will be?
  19. That's beautiful. Same goes for almost any Stingray, but that's a particularly good specimen! It looks great with black or white pickguard (not sure about the clear one). If I were pushed, I'd say white, but if I had the option I'd still swap them every so often for the sake of it!
  20. I'm in my last year at uni, but if I got that call after the second week of June I'd say yes without a moment's hesitation!
  21. That's one delicious rig. Unsurprisingly I now have a craving for some chocolate too. Mmm, I think there's some brownies downstairs... *drools*
  22. Oh, Jeff Beck of course! His current band is solid.
  23. Would Wayne Krantz count? Some good grooves in his tunes.
