My upcoming Newcastle Arena gigs... a kind-of diary thread
PTB replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
Great thread, I’m looking forward to the next exciting instalment! -
Thanks all, much appreciated!

Thanks Danny! The original pic is from a 2015 tweet by Bonneville Guitars who , I believe, made his black relic P bass. This link takes me to it in Google images - best I can do right now on my phone! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=kevin+mccormick+bass+player&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=insv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwid4eumxt3nAhUYQRUIHa_nA0IQ_AUoAXoECAsQAQ&biw=375&bih=553&dpr=2#imgrc=MpPkR_gpFj85wM

I am curious to know more about the signal chain in this picture of Kevin McCormick, bassist for Nils Lofgren amongst others. I can recognise the POG & tuner but what are the other two pedals, the black box on the floor next to his board and the device on top of his Ashdown head? Thanks in advance!

Great choice, enjoy! I was playing my Metro WL today which looks just like yours, great sound & feel.
-
Yep, seen them twice live. Loads of fun and great singing & playing. Didn’t know about the bio, I will hunt that down.

There was a great guy on BC called Gwilym who had one. I bought my MTD off him and he later turned up at Happy Jack’s with a BN5. I loved it ergonomically and tone wise but it was rather heavy- almost 10 lbs I think. It made quite an impression on me such that I had to arrange to visit Gwilym a few months later to see if it was everything I had remembered. It was - but it was still too heavy to gig with so I passed and the GAS subsided. If one exists around 8 lbs in a sensible colour, I would be very tempted.

Nice one Clarky!
-
That looks great, like the colour a lot. Been playing my Metro Will Lee 4 today after a bit of a break. Now I’m fancying a 5 after seeing yours.
-
Yes, more details please.

Just sold a bass to John in a very smooth deal with excellent comms and prompt payments. Recommended!

I find a lot of time is spent moving between the I and IV chords behind someone speaking. Walk on the Wild Side works well in this context. Another favourite bass line to insert is Black Coffee in Bed by Squeeze.

I recently bought this bass on here from Colleya. It's ultralight, looks stunning and sounds great. I am only selling it because I already have a Jake 5 PJ which I (very slightly) prefer and can't justify having 2 of them, especially when all my gigs seem to be on upright these days. These chambered Maruszczyk basses are perfect for long gigs or if, like me, you have back, neck or shoulder problems. However, this is simply a great bass and you don't need any of these issues to enjoy it. The spec includes: Chambered body - weighs 3.5kg using the bathroom scales method. 18mm string spacing. Delano p/j pickups with passive VVT controls. Great colour with grain/flame on the body, matching headstock. Excellent condition, one chip in the headstock (just to the right of the 'J' in Jake on the pic of the logo) Rosewood board with blocks & cream binding. Hipshot hardware, pretty sure the tuners are ultralights. Low action. Colleya told me he had specced this model up as closely as possible on the Maruszczyk configurator and it comes in at €2035. Happy to meet at my place in Croydon if you want to try it out or I can ship at the buyers expense. Here's my feedback thread: -
Pete bought a cab from me in a very smooth transaction with good clear comms. A top BC’er!

SOLD - Mark Bass New York 121 cab, Made in Italy
PTB replied to PTB's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
No Steve, but thanks for your interest. Header amended to Sold Paul -
Selling my Mark Bass cab, an Italian-made 1 x 12 plus tweeter cab. It's in good condition and comes with a Mark Bass cover. I bought this to use as a mini-stack with my matching Mark Bass combo but I haven't needed it for a while so time to find a new home for it. No trades please and happy to ship at the buyer's expense.

It's a great sounding versatile pedal with a Marshall-like flavour. The vintage/modern switch and the combination of Tone & Contour dials give you loads of scope to tailor your sound. I have had this pedal for several years but have had very few chances to use it so time to let it go to someone who will use & enjoy it. It's in good condition and has two strips of velcro on the bottom which of course can be removed if you wish. I have the manual as pictured but not the original box but I will pack it well. The price above includes postage to mainland UK addresses. Here's my feedback thread if you want to know who you're dealing with. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/77960-feedback-for-ptb/ -
I’ve just bought a bass from Andy. The comms were clear and frequent and the deal was very smooth indeed. He’s a top Basschatter!

Having committed to buy a bass guitar that's for sale on here without a hard case, I wonder if anyone is anyone planning a trip down south in the next few weeks who could give it a lift to its new home? The bass is in Sale, South Manchester and I am in South London but I'm obviously flexible about collecting it from you. I have done this myself a couple of years back moving a fine electric upright from Loughborough to London so it would be wonderful if some kind soul could return the favour. Let me know.....

Based on various pics on Twitter purporting to be from last night (such as this one below), it was a natural finish jazz bass 5 string. Doesn’t look like a Fender headstock but not one I recognised either (Sadowsky, Lakland for example). No doubt someone more knowledgable will be along shortly........

i had been looking forward to this for months and it was a great show. Unfortunately I was sat so far back, I couldn’t see what bass Freddie was playing but it was a great bass sound and an excellent mix. Kick drum was right where it should be and vocal & brass harmonies all shone through. For the encore of Reelin’ in the Years, Elliot Randall came out to play his signature intro & solo, 34 years since they recorded it per Donald. A perfect ending to a special gig!

Roll on Monday!

Great blog Sylvia, excellent!

Mike bought a pedal from me in a smooth and quick transaction. A great guy to deal with!
