    For me, it was Dick Nolan from IT BITES. So much presence

    There is always something to learn about these instruments.

    Such a beautiful bass. What's the story behind what looks like a wire from the bridge pickup to the bridge?
  5. KingPrawn
    Thank you. Yes, i feel it's a good price for an instrument of this pedigree and versatility

    For me, it's about what my income and expenditure allow. I don't have a huge amount of indulgent money. Like many i/I/we have to plan and save. I have spent a lot on a bass, as I've treated them like investments. I have 2 what I would class as expensive basses. My Fender Jazz custom shop cost a fair amount. However, I've gigged with it for years, and it's never given me a problem. It's consistent and reliable. I've probably earned a fair few grand from it each year I've had it. It has paid for itself several times over. So yes, expensive, but in my opinion, a good investment in a workhorse of an instrument.

    It is a stunning instrument, and the action is incredible.

    I have no doubt your right. As i said in the description before my time someone swapped the pickups.

  13. KingPrawn

  14. KingPrawn

  15. KingPrawn

    Of course. It's been a really miserable and rainy day here in Birmingham today. Think it reflects my poor picture

    Evening all. I'm selling or trading this beautiful Zon Bass. This has the lowest action of any bass I have ever owned. It really is effortless to play. The neck is impeccable, as you would expect from such an incredible builder. The finish is so beautiful that the maple is stunning. Before my time, it was fitted with a drop tuner on the E and some new pickups. ( original tuner is in the gig bag). It sounds incredible. I was using it in a 70's/80's funk-pop band. It sounded great. I haven't used it for at least 6 months. I found some blurb The first bolt-on neck bass Zon ever made, this Legacy Standard features a two-piece hard maple body finished in natural. The electronics are the newly developed Polyfusion ZP2D active system, which features an active volume control, pickup blend, bass and treble boost/cut controls, and an internal midrange control. THIS IS A USA-MADE MODEL Trade-wise, I'm looking for a Jazz style, Musicman, Spector, mayone, no heavy beasts please and a rosewood fingerboard. Standard scale. Let me know what you might have. £850 posted insured to UK address £825 collected Any questions, give me a shout

    My heart goes out to his 2 young lads. Their dad was an important player.

    A timely thread. I'm about where you are. Playing live for over 40 years. I find I'm pushing myself as I don't want to let others down. Two gigs this weekend, and if they were both cancelled, I'd be quite happy. Hadn't thought of a reset, but maybe finding something that suits me. I also think I should give the gig to someone else and not be selfish. I'm going to think about a reset for sure.

    What a stunning instrument. When I collect my Euro Millions winnings tonight, I'll be in touch. Might charter a private jet to collect!

    I'm lucky the bands I play in have the same process. 1. Agree on songs that are vocally and playing ability workable 2. Practice at home and nail your part 3. learn the form of each song ( agree which version and key) 4. Rehearse and see if it works if there's an element of doubt bin it
  23. KingPrawn
    Great vibe, is it 'Captain Scarlet' inspired?
  24. KingPrawn
    Good for you, man. As long as you're happy and enjoying your music on whatever instrument

    Evening all. I'm posting this question as I am genuinely interested in your experience of booking gigs and how you feel the current climate is. I am essentially a weekend warrior, so I'm not talking about you cats who have the cream gigs. I play in a few bands, locally in the Midlands and have noticed a huge change in venues' attitude towards booking live bands. It used to be that we could go out as a 4/ 5-piece or more, depending on the style of music and get plenty of gigs and maybe £100 a head. Over the last few years, I have experienced more and more venues that are booking solo artists with backing tracks for a sub £200 fee, above a full band. We played a festival in the summer, and all the acts before us were solo with backing tracks. I get why the promoter does it, as it's cheaper for the venue/festival. I felt it looked awful as an audience member. A lone individual with a music stand and an iPad on a stage the size of an articulated lorry. I just worry about the live band experience and what will happen to it. I'm not against backing tracks; they have their place. It just feels a bit poo
