  1. Mike Post was imo a genius. . He just had a knack of penning a short piece of music for a tv program. It was usually a full song. but edited it... Who can not think of this when Mike Post wrote something.... The A Team, The Rockford Files, Law and Order, Quantum Leap.
  2. That was written by Mike Post. No idea who the bass player was. Could have been any session guy who was in the area at the time.
  3. The guitar solo on this @ 3.50 is just phenomenal.
  4. Ive seen this band sooooooo many times I cant remember. The Jazz Cafe in London stand out to me and my sister as the best to be honest. They never disappoint as the musicians they/Bluey have are just so incredibly talented. A couple of records on this album that are just smoking imo.. Me and my sister in the late 90s used to think they were very trendy, then we realised they went way past trends. Who's doesn't like Francis Hylton on an Atelier Z jazz bass laying down a groove. Just wonderful guitar solos on both. I love alot of different music but the mighty Incognito tick so many boxes for me. But thats just me
  5. That is an insane price for an early Xotic. How has this not sold.?
  6. 😆.. Yeah maybe. Its not the music its me, which I said a version of that to a girl once. I get it, I recognise them as great songs, but the songs just dont do it for me. The rhythms of alot of songs, the chord changes etc etc,, I dont like the color teal, so thats about how much my opinion matters.. But.... I find a sniff of euro pop about them.
  7. Its funny you should say that Oli, I had a scammer try to get me. Long story short I ended up having a long long chat with him. He was from Nigeria, Him and his family were living on nothing financially. He ended up apologising to me and said he wants to be a musician but cant afford a bass. I really felt for the guy.. I still talk to him now., he asks how im doing etc etc.. His situation hasn't got any better. I think I got it bad.. Jeez people like him are hand to mouth existence.
  8. In the 20 + years of selling instruments ive never received the shit that ive just received on Face Book. Im selling a Mono M80 bag that is in great condition . The inner cable pocket thing has come away stitching wise. I started by selling it at £120, which was probably optimistic. I got comments like "set it on fire".. "Way over priced" etc.. I have never ever got this on Bass Chat.. If its over priced make me an offer. Me and my wife are really struggling financially which I didnt mention, in hindsight maybe I should have. I dropped the price to £90.. But no, still overpriced."could I stitch it myself" I would bet some of these darlings are on Bass Chat... I just dont get the outright destroying of someones for sale advert. Just PM me about a price. It is literal out and out vitriol. I will say I was so pissed off I sent some messages that were not very polite, unfortunately I have a temper. Why though I just dont get it. This would never happen on BC.
  9. Im a big believer of the more metal in the way of the string vibration to the body the more compressed it will sound. There is nothing a Fender srew saddle cant do that a Hipshot A style cant. They are simple, you can adjust the string spacing. Its over thinking a design that doesn't need to be. Just like string through bridges blah blah. Buy a high mass then you have to shim the neck etc.
  10. You never ever see these for sale.. very rare MIM Jazz basses. they sound fantastic imo.
  11. What are the pickups.? You may need to mention they are not original.Unless you weren't aware they are not original.
  12. This JB75 is just fab.. 70s spacing also. £1,195..That is alot of coin for a used MIJ though.. £895 for the MIJ traditional....considering people are asking frankly ridiculous money for MIJ Marcus Millers atm these are a no brainer. I would even think twice.
  13. Wow. These guys from Audio Circus want nearly half the price of a new pair.. for a plasic cable. just shocking.
  14. well I cant see anything in the Mac or my phone. It just looks like something has unscrewed from the end of the jack and fallen off somewhere.?
  15. Very cool Carl. The DAL's are the best Atelier's imo. You can always tell one because of the Alder body/Ash top forearm detail. That and the 70s pickup spacing..The necks are just fabulous also. You could get a sticker replacement from a custom sticker producer surely.Just scan it.. I had months of trying to getting anything from Johnny from Atelier Z. No hope.. I wouldn't bother with Danny Stewart either imo. Hes only interested in selling basses and getting commission which I found quite rude to be honest. I asked him if he could get a replacement preamp from Atelier Z, he wasn't interested..So a sticker.. maybe not.. Killer bass though Carl.
  16. Thanks for the pic.. Was baffling me. I wonder if Beyer sell this bit.
  17. Hi. I have some BD DT990s and for some reason that has totally baffled me. I proceeded to plug it in to my Macbook and no sound.it doesnt work plugged into my phone either.. Its like the plug isn't connecting. Its almost like something has come off the end. Can anyone shed some light on this or show me a picture of the connecting plug that they have for some Beyers. Here is a pic. Thanks
  18. I owned a CS LTD Edition 1970 closet classic Jazz a long time ago, cost me just over a grand 15 years ago... Only 100 made. It was just fabulous. I wish i still had it. Would be north of £5000 now to get one. quater sawn neck, single coils . THE greatest neck on any jazz bass ive ever played period... Would I pay £5000 for one now. Not a chance...Way better Jazz basses out there. Traded it for a Modulus jj4. What an idiot.
  19. Utterly fabulous. The guy is just groove central. Him Gene Perez, Meshell Ndegeocello. Desert Island bass players. His playing on this JB mash up is some of the greatest groove playing ive ever heard.
  20. Good lord.!!! Ex Elwood 5 owner. They are really great basses.
  21. After the expense of an incoming Italian greyhound im going to drop some coin on one. Funnily enough I played one within the last week. It was the Sunburst one. I was really impressed ive got to be honest. Being a jazz bass fan and owned a Suhr,Sei, Modulus, Fender CS, MIJ Fender Jazz, it really was impressive. I would take one of the JJB300s over any Squier CV 70's Jazz bass. Just the feel of it for a start. Not a fan of the gloss necks on Squier jazz basses.. The neck was just amazing as roasted maple does feel. The pickups were powerful single coils. The frets were really great.. The only thing I might change is the pickups for some Aguilar 60's single coils... but those pickups were my choice for the Suhr....Stock sounded just like a 70's Jazz. A very comfortable 70's Jazz with a smaller Sadowsky(ish) body.. There is nothing not to like about these basses. imo. Kennys music are selling these for £299.
  22. Did he actually say its a geniune SR5 though.?
