  1. Past hour
  2. Love In An Elevator - Aerosmith
  3. Yamaha FG420-12A 12 String Acoustic Guitar Due to the onset of arthritis in my hands, back problems, and old age, 😕 I'm now selling off a lot of my gear. Although painful, I can still play bass for short periods, but playing guitar is nigh-on impossible for me now, and I'm not really a guitarist anyway, so I would rather move it on to someone who will use it regularly. It sounds amazing with a big 12-string sound, and is in excellent condition with just a couple of tiny dints that hardly notice which is to be expected on a guitar that's over thirty years old. Very comfortable slim neck (46mm Nut). You are welcome to come and try it for yourself at my home in Bridgnorth. Collection is preferred because I have no case or box to ship it in.

  4. I would personally argue that Blink are not quite as big as Green Day, but in terms of star power and fame you have to remember that unlike Mike Dirnt, Mark Hoppus is the front man / singer / face of Blink 182. Personally I think the bass looks great but too pricey for my blood. If it was a few hundred cheaper I'd probably get one.

  6. Understandable...
  7. Apparently, when producer Norman Whitfield asked Jamerson to just keep repeating the Bass line, Jamerson got up and walked out of the session
  8. Selling my lovely Mikey Way Mustang in immaculate condition don’t think there is a mark on it, no neck pocket cracks, no dings, nowt! It’s fitted with an EMG 35HZ pickup, no modifications were necessary and now has a great pickup and new large pots and wiring, all of the original little pots, pickup and knobs will come with it so could easily be returned to stock (but why the heck would you!!) It now sounds great, the humbucker is now clear and punchy compared to the very wooly original. Even unplugged the bass is resonant and plays really nicely It is now a very usable and gigable bass and looks as cool as fcuk !! The large sparkle is drop dead gorgeous especially under lights £625 collected Oakham LE15 6NP

  9. Fender JMJ Mustang Bass I’m not sure it needs any introduction, these basses are legendary in bass playing circles I don’t think it’s taken on any additional relics, resonant and plays like a workhorse bass should £1,000 collected Oakham LE15 6NP
  10. Basically when a neck does this
  11. Goin' Down - The Monkees
  12. If you still consider Rammstein as a metal band, it can, if you consider it's now a pop band with a metal look, it can too. That said, isn't a black painted bass enough for metal? 🤪😉
  13. Not that I know of. I've always assumed its a variant of the Distortron/Box of Rock but 1) thats an assumption and 2) I don't think there's many clones of those either. There is a Pedalpcb board for it, so you could build your own. Musikding sell kits if you wanted. The enclosure is irritating, but I don't mind too much because I use so few effects on bass anyway - so putting a "board" together isn't an issue.
  14. I’ve got a third filter on the board as well.. they are all set for different purposes- The Prunes and Custard with some OC-2 and Fuzz is synth type sound etc…
  15. A revisit to this thread, how's things going @Count Bassy?
  16. I'm interested in knowing your thoughts/experience before I go ahead with installing a P-PUP in what looks to be close the Mark Hoppus Bass position, albeit with the coils in conventional arrangement with bass coil further from the bridge than the treble coil (the body has another PUP closer to the bridge and a currently unoccupied P-PUP rout hence this question). What might be the benefits, what might be the limitations? Thanks
  17. @Mudpup you saved me half a post 😀. I’d be asking them what their plan was after the event and for the future and how this gig is going to do the trick. In a business plan to save the venue this gig would (in my mind) be part of a greater plan. If it’s meant to re-establish the venue and make it a draw for audiences in the future, then how? What’s the plan for the next three months?
  18. Sorry to hear about your shoulder problems. It just seems that once they are damaged they never get back to how they were. I bought the bass new in 2018 and had the body chambered to help with the weight due to my back problems but since then I ruptured my shoulder in a fall and had to have a reverse shoulder replacement. It makes playing 34" scale basses very difficult and painful. However this bass is a beautiful instrument and deserves to be played. Succumb to temptation!
  19. If you mean the powered one10, dual duty bass / PA cab, it got mentioned with the BF demo youtube. Blimmin' expensive, sunk without trace?
  20. Is it like a rent party, where everybody pays an entrance fee to a party at a friend's house, which allows them to pay the rent for a month or two. As has been pointed out previously, a night where the bands are playing for free where they pack the place out for a night, may help the landlord pay a few bills and keep it open for a month or two but is unlikely to keep it afloat in the long run. It might be more helpful if it was a monthly thing though? It depends how valuable the place is as a venue and how much the bands, who play there, want to keep the place open in the long run.
  21. It's not. It's plain, albeit high quality leather, 4" wide and punched at a fixed length of 47", although it could obviously be shortened. I had it custom made to spread the load of a back-breaking Wal 5-string I owned a couple of years ago. I'll put up a couple of more detailed pictures shortly.
  22. Thanks Dan. It is the zenith of bass amps in my opinion. Unfortunately I don't do gigs big enough or frequently enough any more to justify keeping it, and have a Reidmar 502 and a couple of Proline 210s that do the job quite well when I do. It is lovely though!
  23. These are great cabs, crisp sounds with the tweeter and powers through the mix 🤘 glwts 👍
