    Guitar shows 2022

    There's a Bristol guitar show in April. The last one I went to was good but a bit bass-light, nothing really toasted my personal crumpet apart from the always-wonderful @Chownybass instruments. I did email them to ask if there would be an alternative free prize draw errm prize of a Cort bass instead, but got no reply.
  5. The Bromberg basses are probably my favourite signature instruments. I would LOVE to get my hands on one of the Peaveys or Deans (the Carvin has a fatter top horn that I'm not overkeen on). Brilliant, original design with fantastic versatility.
  6. It really is a cracking little thing. It wouldn't break my heart to keep it, but it'd be nice if it went to someone who used it regularly/properly. If only that 80s project had come to fruition.
  7. I suspect Tim Commerford was probably responsible for a fair few Stingray sales. I bet they spiked massively after the RATM album came out. Yes, I'm willing to bet that the vast majority** of Mark King signature instruments will never see a gig, or in fact leave the owner's house. ** NB, I did NOT say 'all'. Please don't get indignant and start yelling at me about the hundreds of gigs you've done with your Kingbass/Jaydee/whatevs.
  8. It's a good point. There was some discussion on this point last year, it's always interesting to hear peoples' takes on it.
  9. Beat you to it...
  10. £150 posted / £145 meet up / £140 collected. Collection would be far preferred, or can meet up within reasonable distance from Bristol. Bought some time ago for a project that didn't happen. Fantastic digital synth from Novation with 8-voice polyphony and a 2-octave velocity-sensitive keyboard... classic subtractive style, with 3 oscillators with sawtooth, some, triangle, pulse width modulation and other wave forms, plus lowpass resonant filter, 2 LFOs, asdr and loads of other stuff and I don't understand any of this quite frankly. What I do know is that it is a-m-a-z-i-n-g for bass. Classic big fat farty squelchy sounds and more. Barely used by the previous owner and even less used by me. Comes with a Thomann gig bag carry case thingy that is actually supposed to be for the Line 6 Pod XT Live, but fits the K-Station like a glove. Also included is a 9v power supply and a printout of the manual. On-line reviews here and here. Youtube demos here and here.
  11. The Enormous Room - Michael Manring
  12. Just spoke to your dad. Unfortunately he's sold it to fund his rich tea biscuit habit.
  13. We may as well stop the thread now. Nobody's going to post anything cooler than this.
  14. Sucker Punch - OneRepublic
  15. After I passed my driving test back in the mid 18th century, my first 'car' was a Mk1 Escort van. Now that's a load lugger
  16. Two Tone Army - The Toasters
  17. First off... Can we see pics of the bass plz?
  18. Roundabout - Yes
  19. Mark King: Status, Jaydee, Alembic, GB, Fender, Trace Elliot, TC Electronic, Ashdown, Rotosound, probably a whole load of others I've forgotten
  20. I seem to recall Chuck Rainey's face appearing in a thousand different manufacturers' adverts at one time.
  21. Girls on Film - Duran2
  22. I've advertised a few things free to a good home on Farcebook marketplace. You would not believe how hard it can be to give stuff away. The no-shows, the initial keen interest followed by total radio silence, the "oh sorry I thought you were in Town A but you're actually in Town B, that's too far away for me" (despite the fact that my ads always clearly state Town B)...
  23. Spirit of Radio - Rush
  24. The seats in my Oct hatch don't lie flat either, but I can quite easily live with that because a.) I very rarely fold them down anyway, only for the occasional tip-run, and b.) the rest of the car is so damned lovely it more than makes up for it. Luckily it's a 2018/19 reg so it's not hampered by all the annoying tech yours seems to have.
