Jezzaboy popped in to collect a pedal he'd bought from me and was a welcome distraction from my Saturday afternoon chores. It was a pleasure to discuss all things bass fact to face which is something I rarely get the chance to do. 

Bonus points scored as he is playing in one of my favourite bars in January so I will get a change to go see him and his band play live. 

Cheers!

On hold pending.  

Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds. This is a cracking song with a few tricky variations. This is in no way intended to be an accurate transcription, it's simply my interpretation.

EICH Cover for 210XS/115XS - £40 Delivered in UK

Never used. The package is unopened as I went with a different cab but had foolishly already ordered the cover.

Full details here: https://www.eich-amps.com/c-210xs115xs

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. 

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.

The Tony Grey course is very good. 

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.

I will have it please. PM incoming.

Goldfinger - John Barry.

One of the film composing greats. Every note is a masterclass in taste.

Bargain for someone. 

On hold pending sale. 

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.

Run away! Fast.

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.

Back up for sale.

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.
