The power of Basschat - always someone!

Not to mention the Limelight slab Precision at Classic and Cool at the moment.

We have a Basschat topic for RC 'planes and models; may I suggest posting there, where it will receive more attention..? Here's the topic... Radio control model flying ...

Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major - Traditional

I Got Stripes - Johny Cash

The Dynam rc airplane is made from long-term EPO and has a realistic design that is designed to be a real thing. Neem je dynam-flying mee om met my te flying!

(Suffolk) Punch & Judy - Marilion

Ha, yes, I was responding to a question along the lines of 'is this a stealth Joe Dart but better!' This one is for sure! 😂

Flymo To The Moon - Frank Sinatra

Mowing Me, Mowing You - ABBA

I'm needing to replace a busted tuner. Which Grovers did you go with, and will the screw holes also need moving? Thanks!

Lawn Tall Sally - Little Richard

Six Blade Knife - Dire Straits

Great stuff… I love those Ibanez fellas, I’d forgotten about them! I want one now…

Exactly as you say, and I run my first run TC signature passive long scale in ‘boosted’ mode all the time. However if doing anything with a bass solo in it, then running non boosted mode at an appropriate volume and pressing the boost control for the solo is very useful. My bass is great - use it regularly - I’m sure these will be as well - it’s under 8lbs.

Hiya I'm in S Wales. Plenty of decent luthiers around here plus one of the very best in the UK - Martin Jones, he's based in Caerphilly (does all our instruments in the BBC Orchestras and WNO) He could easily give you an accurate appraisal. Or send me some pics, I'll give you a decent stab at a value. Remember, the bridge, fingerboard, strings, tailpiece, endpin and even neck are not that important in a classical bass.... Its all about the front - (wood quality, condition, grain structure, blockless etc..) As an alternative to Martin in Caerphilly there's always the superb Luthier Martin Penning in Frome. Happy to advise and help out. I'm not looking to buy - I've got 3 classical basses already! But I do have a couple of friends who are looking, plus my colleagues in the bass section know others that might be looking for an old bass. (I'd strongly advise against Cardiff Violins - not for basses anyway). I'm guessing your folks are in the Swansea, Neath, Llanelli area? Cheers B

Royal Blues at The Glad, that London last night. The evening started with my finding out I wasn't in the band pic on the flyers. A subtle hint maybe? Turns out only 2 pics from the photo shoot we did, were done portrait, and to make them fit the flyer I was cut off as I was at the end. I'm on the Instant Gram and other socials. The venue usually put on acoustic solo or duos, in my band there are 7 of us. So it was cosy in the stage area. I was using my Ibanez UB804 which was DI'd. The stage monitor is usually used for the acoustic gigs, so the bass couldn't be turned up too much, meaning it was another gig where I couldn't really hear myself. The guitarist had the same problem. Despite all that, the place was packed and the punters loved it, and the promoter is going to book us for a bigger venue. One guy said to me after "what you did on that bass was unbelievable". I chose to take it as a compliment 😆

The Electric Ballroom. They're playing all of Two Steps From the Move.

They apparently had parts lying around so guess they could have made the neck a few years earlier and stuck the decals on when they actually completed the bass.
