  1. Sadowsky SBP-2 Preamp V2 - £50 Including UK Delivery. In very good condition. I can't find the box but it will be well packaged for delivery.
  2. As a massive Beatles fan my expectations were low. Insipid with little discernible Beatles character. Plays like a rejected outtake from John's Double Fantasy album.
  3. The Tony Grey course is very good.
  4. Could be the strings hitting the frets. Is your action too low or possibly your truss rod does not have enough relief. I only suggest this as I had an identical problem recently.
  5. Goldfinger - John Barry. One of the film composing greats. Every note is a masterclass in taste. Goldfinger - John Barry - Bass.pdf
  6. A few people have messaged to ask why I am selling such a great cab that is pretty much unused so I thought I'd copy my reply here in case anyone else is curious. I'm downsizing to the bare minimum. I've been through a lot of cabs over the past several years. Vanderkley, Barefaced etc. GRBass were the best of the bunch. Last year I downsized from a GRBass 4x10 to the 2x10 I have now. I thought the 2x10 would be the perfect cab as I very rarely gig and when I do it's with full PA support. However, even the 2x10 is too 'bulky' for the sort of gigs I occasionally play. Once or twice a year I fill in on bass for a band with a 16 piece brass section and the stage is extremely crowded so every cubic centimetre on stage is at a premium. The last few times I played I had to borrow a friends Trace Elliot 2x8 which is why the GRBass 2x10 has never been gigged. I have ordered a 1x10 from LFSYS made by Stevie here on basschat. This should cover all of my needs. https://www.lfsys.co.uk/bassguitarproducts.
  7. Back On The Chain Gang - The Pretenders. A very tasteful bass part played at very short notice by the amazing Tony Butler. Back On The Chain Gang - The Pretenders - Bass.pdf
  8. Slave to the Rhythm - Grace Jones. Detune 1/2 step and play as written. Slave to the Rhythm - Grace Jones - Bass.pdf
  9. First up is Spanky Wilson's brilliant interpretation of the Cream classic Sunshine of your Love. Sunshine Of Your Love - Spanky Wilson - Bass.pdf
  10. I gig very rarely these days but, when I do, I have to learn a lot of songs. I'm in the habit of transcribing them to aid learning and memorisation. These are not intended to be exact transcriptions as the people I play with do their own arrangements which can vary from the originals. I will share a few of the more interesting ones here in case they are of use to anyone but please remember that I am a complete amateur at this and they are not intended to be exact.
  11. Not UK based but Luca has made a few ramps for me for Fender Jazz basses. He takes very detailed measurements and the results are perfect. Top guy. https://www.fingerramp.com/

  13. Aargh. Stop tempting me! I don't need it and have just bought a P bass in the pass few weeks so can't justify it either but really like the look of this bass. I'd always vowed never to have a Sire as I dislike the headstock but it seems to work well on this bass. GLWTS.
  14. I bought an amp from Bill and am delighted. Good price, exactly as described, fast delivery, and friendly comms. I would happily purchase from Bill again. John
