I’m good for that. 
I had a guy from Bristol interested, and he was happy to meet halfway this coming Tuesday, but he’s gone silent. 
I’ll send him a message now, and if I hear nothing, then I’ll be in touch tomorrow.

Similar guitar style and sound on Perfect by Fairground Attraction, and also Faith by George Michael. 
 

Same bloke?

Bumping this ad. 
Played it this weekend on two gigs

(Northern Soul and Ska), and a Function band wedding gig last weekend. It’s great for all of that, but I’m just not bonding with it, as prefer the feel of my Dingwall.
So if anyone fancies a swap with a MM Stingray 5M special (plus cash from me), then get in touch. 
Or maybe an NS design CRM - 4 or 5 string, not concerned either way. 
Or perhaps a nice Aguilar DB751 as a trade- fancy one of those big boys again. 

Thanks

They’re lovely. 
I’ve had one for a few years now, and it’s seen off my Modulus, Bogart, and I hardly ever play my Sadowskys. 
Just plays so well

I love my colourbox - it’s amazing even off the transformer just does lovely things to your tone, and then gets even better when you turn it on. 
it also can be over driven if that’s your thing 

Is the output transformer only on that XLR , or on the 1/4” jack too?

Link to the original ad is here ..

Recently bought this on here to try and find a jazz bass to get on with, but have to come to the conclusion that they’re not for me - I’ve tried a Fender 4, SEI 5, Status 4, and now this Sadowsky 5. This has been the best by far, and no difference between this Japanese one, and the US ones - as the man himself said. 
 

Basically looking to get back what I paid for it (although I made a hefty drive to pick it up). 
 

4 kgs in weight.

I’m not geared up to ship this, so a pick up or meet up please. 
 

Trade wise ..

MM Stingray 5 Special with H only, preferably no burst finishes. Plus cash from me. 
 

Dingwall Super P5, with cash from me

Quite partial to P5’s in general, so Lakland US P5, Freedom P5, Sadowsky P5 - that sort of this. I can add money to bring up the value, if required. 
 

Thanks - Paul

My opinion on Elton and Blondie, having finally had a chance to watch their sets:

 

Debbie Harry is, worryingly, starting to look like my old Nan (R.I.P).... and doesn't sing as well as her...
Chris Stein's guitar stylings are sorely missed.... and temp bassist Glen Matlock lacks the required 'groove' while disappointingly simplifying the classic basslines on Rapture, Atomic etc. Leigh Foxx please get well soon. The songs need you!
Clem Burke.... pure quality as always. A monster drummer and still the best thing about the band...

 

Elton John.... Wow!! What can I say?!?!
An absolute masterclass in songwriting & performance! Emotional, stirring, celebratory and uplifting in equal measure. His band are stunning & I particularly enjoyed Matt Bissonette's bass playing, honouring the beautiful, melodic basslines of the late, great Dee Murray while making them his own. 
How lucky we are to live in a time where so much amazing music has been made and performed....

 

I was going to post, but this is sort of exactly what I’d of written- only difference would be that ‘my’ Nan couldn’t sing for toffee.

Was going to mention Glen Matlock, but wasn’t sure if I’d of been accused of talking rubbish- but he’s nowhere near the bass player needed for the groove of those Blondie songs 

Yep- that Stingray sounds great. 
What’s nice to see is Elton also keeping the same drummer from the beginning- guitarist too. 
Also nice to see Ray Cooper on percussion 

Generation 3 ENKI cases I believe are better with the wheel wobble- though I may be wrong. 
Only issue, is that some shops will have brand new MK2s still to pump out. 

The price for ENKIs have gone up from last year- much like everything else I suppose. 
I keep wondering whether to save up for one or not, and the only thing holding me back is the price 

I bought a Crest CA9 years ago, after reading loads up on it. 
It’s mainly beloved over on Talkbass- though is very heavy. Bought it cheapish, to try out and scratch the proverbial itch. I’ve had loads of power amps over the years, and it’s absolutely great on bass. There are loads of mentions about the reasoning behind this- that it’s not a flat sound, and by a sort of quirk in the design, works well on bass guitar. 
I bought it with the view of being sceptical, and then moving it on, but it’s really good. 
The only issue is the weight, and also the fact that it’s very deep in size- meaning you have to look for a suitable rack. I found a 2U Boschma rack on their site- very heavy duty moulded plastic one. But I’m not sure that they’re still in business or not. 
I use it with a Sonic Farm mic pre In front of it, and sounds really good

That’s fine. 
I’m in no rush, as I still take it out as a backup . 
Thanks for replying though- some don’t. 
What did you end up getting by the way? I’m such a gear nerd- he he 

Paul

Sounds like a plan. 
Nik was interested, but he’s decided on something else now. 
Let me know guys

Picked the Aguilar up at 5 this afternoon and it had its first run out this evening at a wedding. Sounded as good as you'd expect. 

You had one of those a few years ago didn’t you? As did I. 
Debating whether to get another again- they are awesome amps

If I could sell my bass, this is one of two that I pick from to replace it. 
These are great- just got a Japanese Metro R24 Modern in on a trade. Quality wise, there’s not a fag paper’s difference between the US ones. 
As I said before- it’s a difficult time to sell at the moment. Someone’s even started a thread about it. 
This bass is really as good as it gets if you’re after a 5 active Jazz. 

This bass is lovely. 
Just shows how tight things are for most folk. 
Far better that the German ones I’d say

Thank you.

I have a Sonic Farm 2di4 which I think is fantastic and was thinking of getting a Caveman to compliment it. 

 

Same here. 
Ive been running- bass into small board with SFX 2 band EQ, compressor, Sonic Farm, then power amp and speakers- lovely sound, with hardly any EQ. 
 

The Caveman has been on my radar, but unsure if to spend the money on something that might not make a lot of difference. 
 

The bass pre-amp rabbit hole you can go down is massive, if you had the funds

I play in a Northern Soul band, and this is one of the ones right near the end. 
I mix about with the line a bit, as you do, and it always goes down well

What’s the model called with the 10 and 2x6 speakers called? 
It’s the baby of the 1516, but can’t find the model name 

Rob is great- I love his playing. 
Came from good stock too. 
 

Also echo what’s been said about- so inventive with his playing 

Me too.. looking forward to pictures 

Dropped off at BassBros the other week, and now it’s sold. 
 

Please lock - thanks

Just seen on Facebook, that he was Robin Malarkey’s father. 
He’s another awesome player
