  1. Yes I was still in the band at that point but I think I wangled my way out of that gig. Couldn't face another year of crashing on the floor of Saska's flat with fourteen snoring hairy men...
  2. OK you've all pretty much convinced me to get one! I think I'm going to go for a medium scale (which I never realised was an option before) but I'm slightly concerned that a shorter scale might affect the tone of the instrument. Is this something I should be worrying about or should I just shut up and get on with it?
  3. Ah ok thanks. I left the band about 2 years ago and did a few Balkanaramas before then so I might've been there! Still doing the odd gig with them when they need a dep like on Saturday, bloody good fun. You're right, an amazing band.
  4. Aww my video didn't embed, what did I do wrong??
  5. I'm learning this for a gig tomorrow, it's in 11/8 ha ha ha :'( The sound is a bit quiet sorry, it's my first ever video... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXBgNb6d9mk"]www.youtube....h?v=kXBgNb6d9mk[/url]
  6. [quote name='benebass' timestamp='1470507220' post='3106485'] Hi Sumbabba - don't want to derail this thread, but a good way to see if medium scale is for you is to detune a 34" bass by a semitone then put a guitar capo on the first fret. Notes are just that bit easier to reach down the bottom end! [/quote] Ok great tip thanks!
  7. Hi, where are you based? Would love to come and take a look at it.
  8. Does anyone in London have a medium scale Maruszczyk I could try out? I'm thinking of buying the one benebass is selling but I've never played a medium scale before.
  9. Don't suppose the buyer's in London? Never tried a medium scale bass, wouldn't mind having a go on it with maybe a view to ordering my own. Love that headstock shape!
  10. You anywhere near London? If so I'd love to come try it out
  11. Ah nice one thanks. I did search for a thread but couldn't find one. Maybe the mods could pin it?
