  1. I bought two sets of these last year but don't use them. I prefer the rubber washer things these days. These are the latest version. I'm not posting them in the little plastic box because they are PITA to wrap and they won't fit through your letterbox. £15, in a jiffy bag, delivered to your UK door... or £25 for both sets. Thanks for looking.
  2. I got this with a bass a while back now, and save for a couple of visits to the luthiers, it's never really left the house. All my basses are now stored in hard cases. https://www.gatorcases.com/products/guitar/instrument-bassguitar/pro-go-ultimate-guitar-gig-bags/pro-go-guitar/bass-guitar-gig-bag-g-pg-bass/ It's quite big with lots of padding, bigger than some hard cases TBH, but obviously a lot lighter. Top of the range Gator gig bag. In very good condition, no rips or tears. A bit of discolouration where the strings & tuners have been in contact with the lining, else it would pass for new... 9/10. £70 posted within the UK or £60 if you collect from me in Kingswood, Bristol. Now £60 posted or £50 collected. Jazz bass for display purposes only and not included. 🙄 Thanks for looking.
  3. Just to offer an opposing view, I found them too big and chunky. I tried them but switched to those rubber washer thingies which are much less invasive. They undoubtedly do the job for which they are designed though.
  4. No show for me
  5. Hi fellow Bristol bassist
  6. I was planning to sell some stuff, clear the decks for the new year type thing, but I suspect a few other people are having the same idea so I'll wait a bit.
  7. Adge Cutler's wife used to be a regular in that same pub I blew my chance with Michaela in. Absolutely lovely woman Yvonne. She came in one evening in great form and bought the whole pub a drink. That night she passed away peacefully in her sleep. I like to think she just kind of had an inkling and left us wanting more. I remember her very fondly.
  8. I missed his Glastonbury perfomance due to general apathy, but I have to admit that I think Stormzy seems to have a bit of star quality.
  9. Is it the alcohol or did I detect an actual bit of musical synergy between Rick Astley and that saxaphone player. He's always had a great voice but I'm sure there's an Astley shaped hole in a crusie ship cabaret somewhere.
  10. I still love Michaela Strachan. She popped into a pub I worked in by the BBC in Bristol about a decade ago. She came in on an empty weekday afternoon and asked politely for a gin and tonic. I just said "a guh a huh" like a dumbstruck teenager. Damn my social awkwardness, she could have been my wife.
  11. There's some fine musical chops on show that's for sure, but I find it so, so boring. The flat TV mix probably doesn't help. It's all seems so self-congratulatory... the same as it was the last time I watched it about twenty years ago. I'm making a mental note to go out next year. Happy new year everyone!
  12. A Squier Katana bass. Dodgy photography and ridiculous postage costs. Lesser spotted nonetheless. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Squire-KATANA-Bass-Guitar/124026010000?hash=item1ce086b990:g:AucAAOSwIPheB7uQ
  13. Hello fellow Bristol bass player called Andy.
  14. Souldier is approx 150cm Fender leather is approx 142cm Fender black is approx 187cm SOLD
  15. £429 https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/electric-guitars/telecaster/fender-tenor-tele-maple-fingerboard-lake-placid-blue
  16. 2001 50th Anniversary Fender P. I hide it in the wardrobe because it's too valuable to scratch. 2016 Am Pro P. This one's the player, lightweight, lovely neck and pre ding'ed by the former owner.
  17. I myself am a Labella Jamerson fan. The TI flats sound really really good but I can't comfortably switch between the two having gotten used to that heavy Labella stiffness. I'm not a Fender flats fan but I think I might have gotten a set with a duff A string.
  18. Three straps for sale. None of them have ever left the house. I used to think I need one strap per bass, when I kept my collection out on show in a multi stand, but now I keep them in hard cases under the proverbial bed, they are largely redundant to me. First up is a Souldier strap. Imported from USA where they are fashioned from old seatbelts I believe. Very funky. £20. NOW £18 Now £15 posted in the UK Next up is a natural leather Fender Deluxe Vintage style strap. Gave it a quick smear with Vaseline as recommended, but it’s still quite new and stiff, (ooer missus, etc). £20. NOW £18 Now £15 posted in the UK Finally a Fender nylon ‘Stars and Stripes’ strap. Not as garish as the name would suggest. £12 NOW £10 posted in the UK SOLD All prices are inclusive of postage to the UK.
  19. Bought to fit to my Stingray, but upon reflection I prefer the original. Apparently cost a pretty penny to import, but I'm moving it on for what I paid for it last year. Twenty quid including UK postage.
  20. This were ousted from my Jazz bass yesterday. They are the noise cancelling type. The previous owner bought them in the late 70's and didn't fit them. I fitted them but didn't really gel with them. There's nothing wrong with them, but they've now been replaced by some Fender V-Mod pups which I prefer the sound of. To save them from languishing in a parts box for another fourty years, I'm moving them on tout-suite for the price I paid for them. Sixty quid plus a fiver for postage in the UK.
  21. Used for a while in my Jap Jazz but where usurped by some DiMarzio's a while back. They've been sitting in by box of bass bits and I don't know when I'll ever use them again. In perfect working order. £45 posted in the UK. NOW £40 posted in the UK
  22. Bought some Jazz pups of Nick a couple of months back in an easy and pleasant transaction. Many thanks.
  23. Bought some old DiMarzio pickups off Allan a while back in a fast and pleasant transaction. Many thanks.
