    It’s not the body designs that usually make me dislike a bass, it’s the headstock (or lack of). G&L, Mike Lull, Sadowsky etc. All amazing basses though I’m sure!

    I had a 1975 Rickenbacker. Sold it when times were hard, regret it every single day 🙄

    The basic chord movement of a song is usually fairly straightforward. When basslines get buried in the mix it can be difficult to pick out specific parts. I usually listen to the song on a different device and sometimes the bass can be heard better. My cheap headphones seem to bring out the bass guitar more!

    Great bass! I had one of these in the 90s. It bagged me an "amazing bass tone mate" compliment from the sound engineer at The Duchess in Leeds. High praise indeed, especially from a toilet circuit sound engineer in the 90s.

    Recently bought a Fender Jazz bass for Gareth. Great communication, well packaged and exactly as described! Cheers!

    **£580** My aging hands and wrists are favouring Jazz Bass necks so it is time to move this absolute beauty on. The best Precision I have ever played without a doubt, and I say this after owning many MIM and MIA Precisions in recent years. Super solid and reasonably light (7.9 lbs) with the classic Precision Bass tone and vintage specs. Made in Mexico but head and shoulders above the ‘Player’ type MIM basses. Has a serial number beginning MX16 with the Fender site coming back with March 2017 as the year of production. · Alder body with a late 50's "C' shape 1-Piece Maple neck. Gloss Urethane neck finish. · 1.75" (synthetic bone) nut width, 20 frets and black dots. · 7.25" fretboard radius · 4-Saddle American Vintage Bass bridge · American Vintage Reverse Open-Gear Bass reverse tuners · Vintage-Style Split Single-Coil pickup. · 1-Ply Gold Anodized Aluminium pickguard · Weight – 7.9lbs These Classic Series basses are what are nowadays called Vintera range I believe. The pickguard is scratched near the truss rod access and there are a couple of small dents in the body. Nothing serious enough to see the wood! I have tried to photograph these, one near the jack output and one on the edge of the body near the tone knob. £675 - although ideally I would like a trade for one of the Vintera or Classic series MIM Jazz basses. If you have any other similar basses you would like to trade though just try me! Located in Ossett, Wakefield about 5 minutes from J40 of the M1. Thanks for looking!

    Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Deluxe Compressor Pedal - £220 Hello everyone, up for sale here is this beast of a pedal. Excellent condition, never gigged. Here is the blurb - Based on the original Cali76 Standard, the Deluxe includes all of the functionality in one compact unit, with added parallel mix control previously only found on limited editions. Independent controls for Attack, Release, Ratio let you precisely tailor your tone and achieve a truly unique performance, from transparent transient control to flat-out limiting and sustain. The Dry Blend control is considered by many as the best feature on this pedal, as it lets you mix your dry signal back in with your compressed guitar tone for true parallel compression. This is an indispensable studio recording technique, as parallel compression gives you all of the tone thickening and increased sensitivity of the Cali76, while keeping hold of the natural dynamic expression in your playing. Thanks for looking 🙂

    Also, people are singing along with the guitars and vocals, they are moving to the bass and drums!

    Aside from all the obvious things like making sure you have functioning gear and spares where they might be needed, I would say that the your bass will sound how the room wants it to sound. The settings I have when practicing at home or in the rehearsal space may not be what I end up using from one gig to the next. Some rooms are just awful for bass. Oh and learn the songs. Inside out.

    Realising this was a real game changer for me. The most recognisable parts of a song I try to play as the original, but if an open E was used instead of a 7th fret on the A string for 1 note of one bar in the second verse then I'm not fussed. Unless of course that part is integral to the overall sound of that part of the song. I've had the Standing in the Shadows of Motown book for years and never really tried to get a whole song note for note accurate to the notation. Mainly because Jamerson probably improvised many of the lines and varied what he played from one performance to the next - apart from the foundation lines of the songs. All that said, there is something oddly satisfying about knowing a song note for note. So, erm, yeah, I've just contradicted myself.
