I haven’t bought Q magazine for over 20 years now. Unsure if they’re still printing 

I used to listen to the original CS&N young album all the time- God like harmonies on that. 
 

An old article in Q magazine years ago did make me laugh though. They’d changed CSN&Y, to CRA&P he he. Bit unfair, but I did laugh 

I used to use these to drop down on certain songs - they are quite heavy though .

<I am turning into that bloke>. That is a fine looking axe. 

You are - but you're saving the rest of us the trouble of typing . 

I'll add .... stunning

Met Ian last night , when he bought the bass I said I'd never sell . Had to be done . 

Lovely guy . We talked bass , as you do , but he was in the middle of a night job , so time was short . 

Payment was super swift , and I had it before I even thought I would . 

Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again . 

Price drop to £1000. Come and grab a lovely full fat Sterling, with the rare piezo option. There really can’t be many of these around at all.

Hmm... That's probably a bit too far from Bloomsbury

Could meet up at South Mimms , or Epping station

NICE mojo, chap. You’ll kick yourself if you sell this IMO….

I know . It was like new when I had it (guy who had it built, only probably had it for a couple of years) , and I've owned it for nearly 30 years now . Every mark on the body is mine - back of the neck is still as smooth as it left the factory . 

It'll be a bass I'll remember forever , but it's not going to get played at all . 

As much as it'll upset me to sell it , and it will , I have to be brutal about it . Hopefully meeting up with someone in a few days . 

I'll probably end up like Mr Travis , and try and buy it back in 10 years . 

Yep , no truss rod . 

Musicman Stingray Modulus hybrid . 

Culling my 4 strings , and now selling the bass that I said , I'd never sell . 

I bought this in around '92 , as a fretless . Had a matched fretted one , but missed out at the last minute on that . 

Guy I bought it off wanted Modulus necks on his Stingrays , and shipped in two Modulus Quantum necks direct from the factory . He kept the MM hardware , and electrics , and got Rodger Giffin , to make him a more fancy topped body . Stuck all the electrics back in and fitted the neck . The neck is one of the old Quantum trussrod free ones . 

Needed it fretted , and only person who was willing to do it , was a guy called Steve Smith from Southend - there's a thread somewhere mentioning him . I can only assume that the frets are stainless , as in 27 years of hard gigging , I've only had one fret dress up - around 10 years ago , by Martin Booth . 

I have gigged this hard from '93 to 2020 . Had a large collection over the years , but this was the only bass I ever used , as I could do anything on it . 

Don't worry about having a bass relic'ed for you - I've saved you the trouble . 

I used to have heavy 'downtune' strings on this , and dropping from low E to a C , holds really well - better than many 5's I've had . 

Modulus neck # - 880641

MM Bridge # B022379

Weight on scales - 10lbs

I have this in a double gigbag , that has another bass in it , so alas , I have no case or bag to go with this . 

It'll be a gut wrench for this to go , as it's been my mate for close 30 years now , but as I've now gone 'full 5' , it'll never be gigged again . 

Difficult to price this , as it's sort of a 'one off' , but I reckon £850 is about right . 

I can travel a bit to meet half way , and would prefer cash really . 

Thanks . 

Paul . 

It was sold , then it wasn't . 

It's currently on hold for a guy in Manchester (I'm in Norfolk) , who's coming down to pick it up in October kid's Half Term . I know it's a way off , but I promised him 2nd dibs . 

I can let you know if it falls through . 

Yes that’ll stop the hum. But really should someone have to do this with a bass at this price point?

They are big shoes to fill . 

Lexxi was really good - on many levels

It's in South Norfolk - IP26 5DS postcode

Awesome strings, they came on my Dingwall Super P, I’ve done loads of gigs and recordings with them and they sounds great. 

I’ve had mine now for months, and always wondered what strings were on it. Are these the brand and gauge then?

Mesa Boogie Powerhouse 412 cab for sale . 

Bought this over 18 months ago from the GuitarGuitar flash sale of their left over new/old stock , Powerhouse range - as I believe they were going all Subway gear . 

I have only used it once - my final gig in Jan 2020 with a heavy band I'd been with for over 25 years . Didn't know at the time it would be my final gig , but the madness started , and I decided to change direction . If I were still in this band , then this cab would be going nowhere , as with the DB751 I had at the time , it was a Godlike sound . 

Gone back to using my 410 or 212 , for now , so this cab is no longer required . If memory serves , I paid around £820ish for it . There's not a mark on it - not even dust . 

This cab will be impractical to courier , so I can meet half way , as long as it's not halfway across the country . 

As always , cash is king , but quite fancy another Berg 212HD , so some sort of deal could be done . 

Thanks for looking . 

Paul . 

That is absolutely lovely

The guy in Glasgow pretty much said that.

They sent the first batch back because they were pretty crap

 

I'd like to try one. I know it's been stated a million times already , but I'm still really surprised by this damage to the brand name . 

When funds allow (meaning when I can shift some gear), I’ll be getting one of the Traditional KK’s. I know there’s nothing in it sound wise with the KB1, but prefer the larger look- more original Baby Bass look. Contacted them for a price list, so I’m good to go, when the funds come in

This channel has been a nice little discovery . 

So nice to flick through the channels looking for something different and interesting , and then stumbling across some music stuff .

The club that I'm playing at tonight wants the band to be double vaccinated.  I don't know what the policy is for the audience though. 

 

 

 

You see , this is just people getting stupid . As already replied - no mention about the staff . 

Harks back to the 'ol PAT test insistence , whilst plugging into their sh*tty in house wiring . 

I've been double jabbed , but don't have a smart phone , nor the little card they gave me , and then promptly lost . How would I be able to prove I've been double jabbed?

In my day job , I went in a few weeks ago to fix someone's broadband . Most customers couldn't care less about all of this , but this guy went all funny about me putting on a mask - not an issue , as it's his house after all . But then he refused to put one on himself - same with his wife and kids . 

Give some people a tiny bit of power , and it'll go to their heads . 

To insist on the band being double jabbed , but then make no mention about the staff , or the guests , is just mental - in my opinion . 

Willing to trade for an Aguilar DB751 (miss the one I sold) - with cash from me .

Both venues have stated this, but like the last one, I'll doubt they'll even check. Just another tick box procedure. 

It'll become the new 'PAT test' probably , where no one will check
