    In Blue's example, post #2 a lot of folk would weed themselves out anyway. Touring US and Europe, well, it has to be goodbye to any day job. That should lead to a premise of requiring an experienced professional imo. One of the things I KNOW I bring to a band is experience. Even though I'm a grumpy fat old git, I can make suggestions about song arrangements that can make a difference. Just one example, from one band and one song. Bryan Adams, Summer of 69. I suggested doubling the length of the lead break, with both guitars doing tapped harmonies. It always went down very well and people nearly always kinda went "wow". Experience helps with arrangements and pleasing crowds IMO.

    I've had 3 of the original headstock basses. Also an absolutely stunning Telecaster guitar copy. Without exception, the Fenixes I've had have been fabulous value for money.

    History as I know it. Commisioned by James Stelfox, Starsailer. I bought off him. Think it went to Mojobass, then Ash. Superb bass I should never have sold, but without selling something (not easy and unlikely to be quick at the moment) it's not coming to me . Somebody is going to get happy.

    Pm's replied, many thanks. Please remember this is the 800 watt model, with accessories . Trades I would consider are Streamliner 900 or Markbass TTE 500, possibly an ABM, cash adjustments either way. Namely valve pre amp (but NOT LM Tube). Cheers, Karl.

    Nice one Ash, great job on that Ovation. Waiting for the Status (think I know which one) with baited trousers

    There are a few around. These 2 are both passive. The Candy Apple is modified with Hipshot Lollipops, BadAss and Seymour Duncans. The Sea Foam's only mod is tortie plate.

    And you put this up when I was on my way to buy a FSR 60's Classic Jazz RI. If you'd put it up 24 hours earlier it would have been mine

    [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1482798441' post='3202828'] Hi Karl, I've not experience the "walking bass head" problem with my gear since I ditched my orange terrorbass 1000 and matamp 610, which occasionally would get bored with my crap playing and try to leave the room in disgust. It mostly only did it if the floor was a little uneven though. I was going to just use an occy strap ( it sure if that's what they call them here, but it's a bungy coats with a hook at either end), and just go from one handle on the cab up and over the head and onto the other handle and just let the rubber feet on the amp do the rest. [/quote] Wonder if it's because I have to do a lot of walking bass lines now Damo

    Think fluffo is looking for one of these in the "wanted" section.

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1482885869' post='3203383'] Did it [i]sell[/i] at £600, though? [/quote] Don't be daft Jon. Now a year or so later they are trying to get £340 for it.

    Still got the original hard case with it Tommo?

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1482760829' post='3202553'] Interesting and very strange-looking, certainly. But £850 for what is by any measure cheapo communist-era East German tat? Contender for the most spectacularly ambitious overpricing yet seen on Ebay, surely! [/quote] Perhaps, but I saw a Futurama up at £600 not so long back. I put mine in the skip, they really were that sh*te.

    So a few folk do think like me. That's comforting . The only cab I would replace the Schroeder 212 (+titanium bullet horn) with is a Barefaced SuperTwelve.

    IMO these basses are actually pure dead astonishing. I played one in a shop 2 years ago. For 2 hours. The neck is just so fluid. The pick up is amazingly versatile. They are very light. Just such a great sounding, easy to play, great looking, simple bass. The ONLY reason I did not buy the one I tried was the shop manager went out for a long time and his no. 2 would not authorise £600 trade in for an excellent US Precision. . Oh, and the shop was 250 miles from where I live. Still rankles to this day. The one that got away.

    I've been following this girl's journey northwards this year. She is still tempting and has worked her way 200 miles closer. Ho hum, what to do
