    [quote name='lou24d53' timestamp='1365276893' post='2037640'] Saw Sven twice last week, Glasgow and London. The Crowes are such a cool band!! [/quote] I was at the London show last year, and the one last weekend. Cool band indeed, and phenomenal live!

    [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Hello all![/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Been lurking around here for a while but now a fully-fledged bass convert I’d like to spend a bit more time in these parts. I’m 32 and from north Suffolk. I originally bought a bass when I was 16 as my dad wouldn’t let me have a drum kit, but switched almost instantly to guitar for the next 15 or so years (Noel Gallaghers fault!).[/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Decided to treat myself to a Gibson SG faded bass in 2011 when I qualified in my profession, after many years obsessed with Andy Fraser (well, Free in general). Was instantly hooked and have pretty much left the 6 string alone since. Sold some guitar equipment and treated myself (again [/font][font=Wingdings][font=Wingdings]J[/font][/font][font=Calibri]) to a Markbass CMD 121H combo. For the last year I’ve been getting down some lines by Free, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Black Crowes etc etc.[/font][/color][/size] [color=#000000][font=Calibri][size=3]Earlier this year, along with my wife (drums) and a mate (guitar/Vox) we started jamming at a relative’s barn. My wife’s step-dad heard us and asked us to play at his 65[/size][sup][size=2]th[/size][/sup][size=3] birthday party. The party was 2 weeks ago and my first gig on bass. The place was packed, we did a 10 song set of bluesy covers and I had the time of my life (although initially I was bricking it!). [/size][/font][/color] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]So now I’m hooked and looking forward to being a part of this cool place.[/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Cheers![/font][/color][/size]

    I have DR Hi-Beam 45-105 short scale strings on my SG Bass and love them. I read somewhere the originals were 45-105 and these feel very similar, but brighter.

    We're having a clearout and before I chuck all my old guitar magazines I thought I'd see if anyone wants them. Free to whoever can collect, I have around 140 mags, mostly Guitarist but the odd Guitar & Bass, & Guitar Techniques. Collection from Beccles, Suffolk. Cheers.

    I've just bought a Markbass amp for bass duties so selling one of my Bluetone Pro30M amps. I have two of these amps and up for sale is my backup. It's been sat around for a while so I've just checked it works and all is ok. These amps are pretty rare, but the tone is unbelievable for a solid state amp. I'm a massive Paul Kossoff fan, and like these amps as they get that late 60's/early 70's Marshall tone at any volume. The line out is brilliant too for direct recording. This amp is used but in good condition. The knobs have been changed but the original silver knobs are also included. There's a couple of good video's demonstrating these on Youtube. I'm looking for £350 collected from North Suffolk, or I could meet somewhere reasonable for petrol costs. I do have a box somewhere so could post it if necessary.

    Couple of things I need to clear. D*A*M Drag'n'Fly. Great condition. Amazing fuzz. £165 plus postage. Catalinbread DLS MKII Superbass. Amazing Marshall Superbass style overdrive. I bought this to cover Paul Kossoff tones, but it also sounds brilliant on bass guitar too. £85 plus postage. (Picture to come).

    Decided to sell my Zoom Hd8 as I'm not using it too much lately. It's been well looked after, works perfectly, and I still have the box, manual etc. Looking for £200 plus postage.

    Pm'd.

    [quote name='wal4string' timestamp='1336777470' post='1651098'] Check this site. At least twenty more[i][b] Free [/b][/i]tracks. Plus if you scroll to the bottom of the page yoy will find a couple of transcriptions of the bassist who replaced Mr.Fraser in[i][b] Free [/b][/i]"Tetsu Yamauchi". [url="http://arcellussykesmusic.com/index.php?/transcriptions/"]http://arcellussykes...transcriptions/[/url] [/quote] That is absolutely brilliant!! Pretty much all the songs I was hoping to learn are there. Thank you so much for posting that link.

    Hello all. Does anyone have any Free basslines worked out they would like to share, or sell? I'm new to playing bass, and with Free being my favourite band I'd like to try and learn some of their stuff. Unfortunately my ear isn't too clever, so I'm currently relying on reading music/tab. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

    [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1334133241' post='1611212'] Would you consider splitting the tuners at all mate? No worries if not. Ta. [/quote] Sorry, but looking to sell it complete. Cheers.
