    @neilmurraybass I too would love to read some of your thoughts, stories and descriptions from your life in music. But I also get that writing a book is a hugely daunting task. One possible alternative would be to do the video version. Leland Sklar does exactly this. It started as a bit of a lockdown thing, but he has produced hundreds of videos now, detailing not just his basslines, but gear stories and much more. It helps that he is a natural storyteller, but if your posts on here are anything to go by - so are you!

    And now sold! Wow, less than an hour. After a month on Facebook.... Basschat is awesome!

    On hold.... 😲

    Sadly, with no gigs (or even rehearsals) on the immediate horizon, I just can't justify keeping a back-up 5 string. And I really can't bring myself to sell my ACG! Fantastic instrument, that punches well above it's modest price tag. All the MM sounds, but with the versatility of a jazz bass. 3-band Eq. Maple neck and board. Beautifully balanced, and not heavy for a fiver at 10lb (4.6kg). Immaculate condition. Not a mark on the body, but a tiny amount of corrosion on the edge of the bridge (which you've really got to look hard to see). A great player that I would happily gig with - but my need for cash is greater right now 😢 No hard case, but a nice padded Fender gigbag is included. Shipping within the UK mainland is included in the price, as is delivery anywhere in the North East of England. You can also collect it from North Tyneside 😎 No trades please. If I didn't need the cash I wouldn't be selling it!

    Lovely 😎 I have a similar one in a black painted finish. When GAS comes calling I think about selling or trading, but then I play it and realise that I will not get anything of similar quality for anywhere near that price. Excellent basses 💜

    It is! I used to rehearse once a week up there - bloody cold in the winter, boiling in the summer, but a fantastic-sounding room. In fact, it is big enough that it could easily accommodate a medium-to-large bass bash! 😎

    One of the best basses I ever owned or even played. Wish I never had to sell mine, but I'm mostly playing five strings now and can't afford another bass. Plus, Darlington is far too far away from me.... er, hang on 🤔

    One day I will own one of these... but it is not this day, sadly. Gorgeous 😍
  9. Conan
    This thread baffles me. Does he want to sell this bass or not? 🙄
  10. Conan
    Crazy low price for a great bass. If I didn't already have one, etc.... 😍
  11. Conan
    Sold locally via Facebook.

    On hold pending collection and payment this afternoon...

    Bought last week in error ( I was actually after a Nano Plus!). Good condition (a few scratches, nothing structural or that will affect the performance). Cheapest I have been able to find one of these for is £70, so I think £50 is fair. https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-pedals/pedalboards/pedaltrain-metro-16-pedal-board-w-hard-case Postage not included, but I am happy to arrange this at buyer's expense (and risk). Velcro already attached to the board. The power supply seen in the photos is NOT included, although as you can see, it (and similar units) fits snugly on the underside of the board.

    Exactly what I was going to say! However, there may be other alternatives around. For example, I tried one of these - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KPBTBZL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and although it didn't quite work for me (the drive was OK, the compressor was great, but the chorus didn't have enough controlability) it may be perfect for you. Buying from Amazon also allows you to return it if you don't get on with it 😎

    It would have sold months ago if the seller was prepared to drop the price slightly... 🤔🙄

    Until I read this thread, I had no idea that so many of the awesome players who influenced me so heavily were Rotosound endorsers!. I know other people have said that too, but it is such a surprise. Foxton, Burnel, Pastorius, Paton, Squire and Sheehan were all big influences; Mark King, Stanley Clarke, Herbie Flowers and Steve Harris helped to shape my tone and style in ways that I could never have imagined without hearing them. But the daddy of them all, the sound I hear in my head when I think of Roto roundwounds (apart from his awful Wal and Superwounds era!!), and the reason I picked up a bass in the first place back in 1979 has to be Sir Gedward Leee. A tone that can knock down wals (sorry, WALLS) and yet caress the knickers off the Queen. Or even Freddie Mercury. Same thing perhaps? 😎 Aye. Geddy Lee. He'll do for me.

    And heading north as we speak... 😎

    PM'ed again 😎

    Seriously tempted to buy this back... 😋
  21. Conan
    Another top deal involving Mark. The chorus pedal he sold me was exactly as described and posted out to me extremely quickly. No hassle at all. Recommended 😎
  22. Conan
    Nope. I bought it (and then sold it again) 😁
  23. Conan
    PM incoming...
  24. Conan
    I was just about to say something very similar! Impressive, but something about him leaves me slightly cold. Give me Bobby Vega any day!
  25. Conan
    Neil just bought my (well, his now I guess!) Bass Pod XT. Excellent communications and fast payment made for a seamless and pain-free deal. Highly recommended!
