Makes me have dis- loyal selling thoughts about my '75 re-issue. Half heartedly put it up for exchange for a Duck Dunn. It's my 1st bass to look at, but 3rd to pick up and play. Karl.

42.

Funny what "the market" will pay. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270717722509&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url]

History now I know, but the "road worn" finish, especially close to where the forearm would be, seems very smooth to me? Karl.

40. Wish I could remember that far back. Karl.

Looks stunning, bet it plays and sounds it as well. Jack, presume Far Canal means what I think. That was a coffee/screen moment. Karl.

I got my Daryll Jones there. Ticket price was £1150, Gary did if for £900 cash. At the same time they had a stunning'72 Jazz in, virtually mint, at £2300, said it would go for £1800. Gary is a top bloke whenever I deal with him. Karl.

Bugger, the night you are at the Railway we are gigging in Preston. Will catch you soonish though Justin. PS, keep forgetting BRILLIANT website as well. Cheers, Karl.

My Mother's here for the weekend and she's vegetarian . Karl.

I'm not a fan of these, don't know if it's good bad or indifferent. Just in case anybody is interested. Karl. [url="http://www.promenademusic.co.uk/Jay-Dee-Jay-Dee-Mark-King-4-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar--Pre-Owned/product/9279"]http://www.promenademusic.co.uk/Jay-Dee-Ja...ed/product/9279[/url]

I don't like slap because of the actual tinny sound. Give me John Paul Jones sound any day. One of our guitards was dead impressed by seeing a bassist in a band slap a 10 second solo. He's never impressed with the intro to Doctor Doctor which starts off with me playing part of Jaco's version of Blackbird (the chordal stuff). Still ain't going to slap Mr. Guitard . Actually, there's a thought. Karl.

Whilst not knowing the exact model makes this little more than a guess, the most expensive Ibby BTB i could find in a quick search, was £720 new. Karl.

After soundcheck, I used to just put mine back in the cases until 5 minutes before going on. Then tune again and hold onto it. Always like to have a guitard between me and punters for bass and goolie protection . Karl.

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='1158335' date='Mar 11 2011, 05:27 PM']Thanks for the kind words mate! Much appreciated. Nice overall sound, but if you want some constructive criticism: 1. I found in places that the tempo fluctuated. Maybe an idea to get the drummer to play with a click-track. 2. Guitar was a touch quite - both rhythm and lead 3. Bass cut through very nicely, just needs to be less busy in places and it will improve the song no end. 4. Vocals were on the whole very good, just could do with coming up in the mix slightly. Aside from that, not a bad effort at all... reminded me of Bad Company in parts.[/quote] Many thanks, I was completely bricking it about sharing this, but it's all stuff that can be sorted. Not the 1st time I've had the "busy", and very true sadly. Our SkinsMeister has a T Shirt "How do you want it, too fast or too slow" . We are just a live pub/covers band (except for couple of tracks like that one), so "demo" studio etc, completely novice. Cheers for pointers, Karl.

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='1157151' date='Mar 10 2011, 08:29 PM']I quite like that, reminds me of early Deep Purple in places. Quite a blanced mix although for some reason the crash cymbal sounds over compressed. Good mix apart from that. Our effort from our first album...[/quote] Love it. Captures the fire of the bands of the time, but with a more up to date feel. . Just great punk power, I'd love to hear it through a hi-fi, will figure how to do that eventually. Hopefully attached is our effort for promoters, 1 track of 5 track CD (warning, old fart rockers alert). The mix sounds great through my old Technics hi-fi, yet absolutely crap through my laptop. Ideas gratefully received.

[quote name='chrismuzz' post='1157220' date='Mar 10 2011, 09:07 PM']is that...felt tip? [/quote] That's what I thought about the headstock.

[quote name='Soloshchenko' post='1156963' date='Mar 10 2011, 05:43 PM']In mine too. Helps yours is a twin truss rod as well. Karl, just looking at the ebay ad mate, I found it a bit confusing you haven't named a frieght price? Am I just being stupid or is it not said how much is going to be paid for delivery? That may put people if so. Just a thought.[/quote] Took me 2 nights and about 4 hours to get that far, by which time I had lost the will to live (problem with Firefox). House accident was beckoning . When I 1st went into postage with the ad, I put £50, insured with case, then it decided to change to freight and I couldn't change it. To be honest I didn't expect the ad to last this long. I've put BIN would be £370 inc case/insured delivery, but I reckon of the dozens of watchers I'll get offers of £250 after it's pulled. They will be pointed along the lines of anatomical impossibilities . Cheers, Karl.

Embarrassed to say never really noticed that section, but probably next week will put our demo up there. I don't give a monkey's what anyone thinks about my bass playing, I know it's limited. What I would like is a critique on the mix, and frankly whether it's good enough for promoters. Many thanks for pointing this section out, I will join in on the Bar and Grill. My only redeeming feature is I have caught loads of Barbel . You know who you are. Karl.
