  1. Same here Jean-Luc Pickguard, but, I was not made redundant by Philips. I managed to survive all of their moronic management, but they left their mark. I couldn't possibly have anything in the house that bears the name Philips
  2. Mine's quite a similar story Chris, full time music was like the garden of Eden. Loved the playing part but the apple and the serpents bit was tuff and far from glamorous. Enjoyed the ever changing IT industry, (mostly before it was known as IT) but even staying qualified in an IT day job was as you say as mad as the music biz, as one great company is gobbled up by a bigger fish. Very happy to play at the weekend
  3. Just bought a pedal from Dean, it's in great condition and arrived next day. A pleasure to trade, if only all purchases were this straight forward
  4. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  5. Bought a 70s reissue jazz from Mal, a very good and easy transaction, and a fine bass. Thank you, look forward to seeing your band,
  6. Thank you John for the fully loaded Jazz control plate, looking forward to installing very soon
  7. [quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1500284038' post='3336612'] When i have a gig and the drummer is brain dead and has no respect for the music, volume,feel or tempo, or any band member for that matter, it can drain all my enthusiasm and mojo. When this musical scribbling happens my tone may as well count for nothing as its either getting drowned out or I cant play the parts I want to, how I want to. The best tone I get with complete satisfaction with the best consistency is when I'm working at home through a sh*tty little £15.00 off ebay practice amp, at low volume. Be it twiddling or working out new material for gigs playing along to youtube ect its always very good. But then all the other conditions that effect tone at gigs are not there and I'm in control of the environment! [/quote] +1
  8. Agree with bub, soulful jazzy playing on this and Marcus knows a great drummer when he hears one. (yes,,,, bit of a nod to Hornsby)
  9. Well done Pete, one day at a time. Always enjoyed your playing with the Nearlies. Gaslighting Abbie, keep it in your sights.
  10. Bought a Berg CN212 from Peter, sure is a powerful cab, good to meet you Peter, hope you're well.
  11. Here's an interesting song re' behind or ahead of the beat. What do you think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrZRURcb1cM
  12. Bought a hipshot thingy from Muzz, excellent condition, good comm's, thank you, deal with confidence.
  13. Bought a fab bass from Arnaud, very well packed and good communication throughout, again, deal with confidence.
  14. Just sold an amp to Stephen, good straight honest bloke, in his 'Prime.' Hope you're enjoying your music.
  15. [quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1388615724' post='2324158'] Happy new year to everyone. I still think that keyboard player is a twat. [/quote] Yes, and some singers also fall into that category, they can tell you how to play almost any instrument, But can play f**k all themselves. KB players can be odious individuals. Changing the subject ! Great gig last night at the Robin, really enjoyed it. Saw you at the pre gig pub but the dj sound prevented alot of what we do in pubs over good beer, Talk, well done Pete,
  16. just a rough idea of where you live
  17. Bought a Berg cab from Ian, very helpful and a mine of information, honest chap, thank you.
  18. Bought an amp from Andy, very easy transaction, met me at the motorway services, trustworthy and honest guy, thank you. best regards Frank
  19. LEAVE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's got his name on it which means you'll never be part of the deal anyway. It does not matter how much work you put in, how many gigs you do for naff all, how many sacrifices you make, your name name will never be on it and so when the money finally does come (hits head with mic stand) you probably won't get it anyway. best of luck
  20. Hello,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,why not give buyers a rough idea of where the bass is located, guess you have, I just couldn't see it.
  21. Karl bought my EBS Neo 212, hope you're happy with it. Good and genuine basschatter, and a good bass player.
  22. The Amp is gone,,,, The cab is still here, fair bit of interest. Maybe now that the Notts Neo 212 is gone this will be next.
