  1. Looking at some FRFR speakers, i'm thinking of staying with RCF, just because of how impressed ive been with our bands PA. How important is the voice coil going to be for a bass player? For example the 715s are around £550. But the 725s, and 735s etc are all around £870. I understand the need for these if the main use for the speakers is singing. Do i need a bigger voice coil for bass though? What say yee experts of all things FR/FR?
  2. Hi Graham. I didnt have a chance last night, i got in from work at 10.30. I'll do it today though. I have a free night
  3. This isnt a "hell audition" but we did laugh. A lot. We were a fresh from school band. All of us between 18 - 20. Quite well known on the "local scene". Our set list was fairly heavy rock. Metallica, Free, RATM, Led Zep, Black Sabbath etc. One of our guitarists was going to university so we were auditioning guitarists. We had 3 or 4 people coming to a practice to audition. We sent them all emails with 3 songs to learn, and aid if they had BVs or vocals it would be a massive bonus. The songs were "Wishing well ", "Black dog" and "Enter Sandman". So first guy turns up. Long hair, pointy dimebag guitar, Tight jeans, big boots, a amp and cab that was far too big. You get the picture. Nice enough though, had a chat as he was setting up, got on fine. Looking good. He tells us he can sing a bit, and would be happy to have a go with "Wishing Well". Fair play to the man. So he starts.... "You hear me , so clearly....." He starts singing Wet Wet Wet's version of Wishing Well. Brilliant. We were all crying laughing. The guy clearly felt a little embarrassed, but we couldn't stop. Too funny! DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!
  4. Nothing other than saying "fairly light" Will weigh it later for you too
  5. Will measure it for you later. Feels slimmer than most Precisions i've played
  6. I guess itd be about £40? I dont know Al. Send me a PM and i can get you a proper quote?
  7. Seems that it will go plenty loud enough if needed?!!?
  8. The PA is Vocals, Guitar and Keys. That's good to know. Which model have you gone for. I know you've probably posted about it, but i don't know how far back that is, and i'm a lazy derrière
  9. Ok, so what if i wanted to go FRFR with no PA support? What kind of spec would i need? At the minute, we play weddings of 200-300 in halls. We aren't very loud. I use a Markbass LM2 into a TKS S112 and volume has never been an issue. I know most people on here are using them as monitors, can they be used as the monitor and the main rig?

    SOLD

    Fender Deluxe Jazz Bass V, manufactured in Corona California in 1999, and carefully used and maintained by one owner previous to me. I purchased it with the idea that a 5 string bass would replace the need for me to have a second bass on stage tuned to D. Well, it doesn't. I haven't got time to practice enough to get proficient on a 5. So it's getting moved on. It really is a fantastic instrument. A beautiful 'White Blonde' translucent colour that has retained its high gloss lacquer finish, with few signs of wear and tear other than some small marks on the headstock edge and a tiny dink on the lower left body edge (see detailed photo). Youll also see "players wear" on the back of the body where the paint has worn a little thinner. Hard colour to photo. It sometimes appears a shell pink. Active electronics (9v) with a wide tonal range, rosewood fingerboard with switchable red SIMS led dot markers (9v), activated by pressing the middle frequency tone knob. (fitted when new at a cost of £500). Really slim neck. Original Fender factory labels and truss rod adjustment tool included, plus the original tortoiseshell pickguard as an alternative to the white one shown. This is a genuinely outstanding example of a classic bass guitar in great condition. I am happy to look at trades. Only 4 strings though. And I don't like sunburst. Sorry about that. Any questions, give me a shout.
  11. Thought this had sold. But "something came up" So....BUMP
  12. Dave Dearnly in Cardiff if you want someone to do it Lew https://www.yell.com/biz/dave-dearnaley-guitars-ltd-cardiff-8847632/
  13. Quilter Bass Block? https://www.wembleymusiccentre.com/quilter-bass-block-800-bass-amp.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw4sLVBRAlEiwASblR-wWKVM9181JERgFKP0UCQd9qx2ncVMxiUN6TRtt31F4-sfjQcORlnxoCB_0QAvD_BwE
  14. Thanks Shambo for clearing that up! It feels way slimmer than a Precision neck, in depth and width, so thats how i got confused. I'll measure it when i get home later
  15. I didn't put the bass together, so can't be 100% sure on this. But i'd say it's a jazz bass neck that says Precision.
  16. Might be worth contacting some agencies. They'll be in contact with a lot of that type of band. They'll probably ask you for a short bio, so they can see your experience, and possibly a video of you playing. But it's a good way to get your name in the hat.
  17. Sorry, i should have said. Im in South Wales. @biffsmith I can send it by courier if you need me to
  18. Fender Precision style "bitsa" bass, put together from some top quality parts. Made a mistake when i originally listed, and now cant change it. But it's £400. Cracking bass for this kind of money Gotoh 203b vintage Bridge Genuine Fender 'F' neckplate. Schaller straplocks Kiogon vintage wiring kit Fender Custom shop pick ups Cavaties shielded with copper tape LaBella flats. Neck is 2014 Fender Mexican with Rosewood board (jazz profile) Body is a "Guitar and bass build" custom made 2 piece Alder body. Just been set up, nice low action, not low enough to crush dynamics, but very easy to play. Sounding like a great Precision should - Warm, round and thumpy . I used it in my band for Motown songs. I'm not in that band anymore, so time to move it on. Can post, but would prefer collection so you can try it. Any questions, give me a shout. Not interested in any trades at all. Cheers
  19. That RCF 735 is tempting Cant imagine how good that'll be
  20. Only wear them for squash. Should see my short shorts though
