How easy do you find it to impress errm laypeople?
oldslapper replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
I have a guitar or two out on stands. On a couple of occasions I've managed to trade a couple of lessons with trades people (builder, gardener & chimney sweep) when they've come to do work. If they've spotted the guitars, I'll noodle on if they've showed interest, which has started a conversation like "ooh a guitar, always wanted to play...." "ooh I teach guitar, would you like a lession"...."ooh yes, but its quite expensive..." "yes so is your ridiculous hourly rate..hows about a trade?". A few "oohs" later, & no money has changed hands, but everybody's got what they want.....ooh! -
Playing in Europe - What do I need to know?
oldslapper replied to NoRhino's topic in General Discussion
This! Gigged extensively in Europe (outside UK....) from the 80's to last July. Always well looked after by promoters/venues & audiences mad for a good time. You'll have a Fab time. -
Jazz width neck with "F" precision bass logo & fake Duck Dunn signature. Bought this last week for a project, but failed to measure the body recess, and it's too wide to receive the neck heel. I lack the skill to remedy this. So it's back here for sale with pics including measurements. Nice vintage style and literally taken out of the box, offered to the body & placed back. It's well packaged in 2 made for neck boxes. Link to original sales thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/319021-sold-duck-dunn-jazz-neck-sold/?tab=comments#comment-3455471 I'm in Bath if anyone wants to meet & collect, or I'll post it out for £50

SOLD!!! "Home Built" Precision Bass TOTALLY BLACK!!!

Number of gigs doesn't equate to level of competence. To suggest a band that only plays 6 gig's a year doesn't deserve good musicians is a bizarre stand point.

Sounds perfect. Describes my current situation. I love playing, and playing with great players, I just have no love for gigging. So 6 per year is about right....for me. What's the issue?

£15 Having another clear out. 3 sets used strings, come off various basses I've bought recently. I only buy boring fender style, so cut for 4 in line. No idea gauge or make, I think 2 sets are nickel but don't sue me if they're not please 😇 2 bbot bridges, 1 Wilkinson with brass saddles. Both come with screws. I want the whole lot to go please. £15 for the lot posted seems OK. Thanks. John
