Bugger.

I've put my Jag up for sale this afternoon in the hope that it sells before this goes.

I have a mint, ungigged Classic '50s P in Fiesta. Strung with flats. Does this sound appealing with added £££?

Oh man, that's close...

Hi. if this is still fs on the 16th it might be mine.
Where are you based pls?

The Se535?
I've had them (and the 530). Amazing sound quality. Over ear cabling is love or hate at times.

I feel your pain. Two promising, original bands from last Jan (one from May in fact).
Gigs lined up for one and some good ones with an EP under belt thwarted by unreliable drummer.
Second band: gigs lined up, foiled by petulant and frankly despicable guitarist creating an atmosphere of discontent.
New Year looks like it's bringing more than one opportunity.

Can i pay in instalments?

Awful. In full agreement.

That's no problem
I really should keep it and save for an upright!

If you happen to change your mind, do let me know.
I'm assuming the size and cost of these suggest that it'd be a good introduction to double bass playing?

Hi.
I have a mint Fender Classic '50s P bass in Fiesta red. Would this be something you'd be interested in?
I am in London in two weeks.

A lot of you have probably experienced something very similar, but i'll tell this anyway.
Way back when HMV had a designated jazz section (before it became amalgamated with Johnny Cash, Judy Garland and Muddy Waters - ie. everything outside of pop/rock), I was in the Leeds branch, leafing through the Blue Notes and Prestige etc. when two young lads walked through. They were maybe 13 and evidently in the wrong part of the store.
They looked at me, then at the CDs in my hand, and one just simply said, "Jazz. w***er's music".
I really did laugh out loud.

As well as having every LP he's made i've managed to see Ornette live in every decade since the 70s and he never ceases to amaze me.

Fabulous music whatever anyone wants to calls it.

Hi.
So would these be ok for a '50s P?

Matt sold me his Steel Leather.
Cheers Matt for the courteous, straightforward deal.

One of the things I like about In a Silent way is the minimalism of the drums. I mean, they've got Tony Williams sat behind a kit, one of the all-time great drummers and he plays hi-hat only for the whole of side one and mostly snare rim for much of side two, only using the whole kit for a few minutes of the album. It strikes me you'd need some real confidence to do something as sparse as that!

From start to finish it's an ensemble masterclass in economy and beautiful understatement.
The out-takes (as well as Filles) point to this. Like i said above, it wasn't all about grabbing on the coat-tails of funk during this period; Miles was concerned with far more than that.

Hi. Are the covers still for sale?

Lovely. Enjoy!
