Sadly you're right, as it's become clear within the last 24 hours that we're heading towards a second wave. I've already decided to talk to the hall manager on Monday and will then post a selection of available Sundays in May/June next year so we can collectively decide what suits us Bashers best (my feeling is that the usual early April date might be a bit too soon). In the meantime, we can all proceed on the basis that, regrettably: The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash is off until further notice!! ☹️ The good news is that I'll be able to bring my Mesa TT-800 that's due for delivery at the end of October 😎6 points

Okay, so not quite £60. It was up for £110 delivered from cash convertors (a seller I often follow) and I had a £50 voucher. To say it was minging was an understatement. Covid would have been the least dangerous thing lurking on the fretboard of this bad boy. Took the sander to it and hit it with some Danish oil. A new set of tuners and and strings are we are in business. Sounds phenomenal! Check out the before and after pics! Hopefully you'll be able to work out which is which!5 points

I went to see them on that tour and Copeland in particular blew me away. I love the thing he does in Wrapped Around Your Finger, switching between the percussion set up and the drum kit without every missing a beat. Perfection.4 points

Moving abroad and reluctantly selling this Kramer 450B. In good condiction - missing surrounds on pickups (pretty common as they were so delicate. All in good working order. Has a few very minor dings unerneath the pots, and some very minor scratches on the back. I have a basic hardcase that I will supply to whoever buys - not the original one though. Selling for £750 ONO. Seial number 21741 - Made in USA Would prefer local collection (south East London - Forest Hill Area) but could courier. In terms of specs - probably best to look here: http://www.vintagekramer.com/alum.htm Some photos below and more photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/RHb5GvvD8vUXBb5k63 points -
Although 2020 means you don't get a nice 7" bag and change from Woolworths! We're the only one of my bands that seem to have thrived during 2020 thanks to some good use of the internet and some creative videos. "Echo Road (Radio Edit)" is the new single from our critically acclaimed album "Human Traffic and is backed with a cover of the Lords of the New Church classic "Russian Roulette". Forgive the shameless plug. https://vivelerock.net/dissidents-on-the-road/3 points

Do bass amps come any better than this? Genuinely never thought I'd sell this but I'm using modelling amps these days and I have a few big bills to pay . . . NOTE THAT THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED WITH A DEMETER POWER AMP BUT THIS HAS NOW BEEN SOLD SEPARATELY. There are pages & pages of personal reviews of Jule Potter's marvellous Monique, both here and over on Talkbass. It's simply one of the best valve/tube pre-amps ever made. Note that this particular one has the pull/push option on both line level and sensitivity. It's a fairly expensive job to work on these over here in the UK so it's much better to have one that already has this functionality. Works equally well on-stage or in a studio environment. I've used this set-up 2-3 times live and twice in a studio for recording. In fact the last time I recorded anything the studio engineer couldn't stop raving about how lovely Monique sounded. Normally he insists on using his own house DI system but was intrigued by Monique and made an exception for me As mentioned above they've only been gigged a few times and in the studio twice. The rest of time it's nestled in the little gig bag or sitting on top of my Bergantino 2x10 for home practice. It's immaculate and everything works without a single scratchy pot. From what i can see Monique is currently priced at over £1,600 and the gig bag adds another £150 making a total new price of £1,750. In all honesty, nothing in the world of bass amplification looks quite as funky as the Monique in Dove Cage format! I am happy to ship to UK or EU at cost provided that payment is made in advance - either by Bank Transfer or PayPal friends & family. First pic below is the actual unit & other pics are stock shots simply because they are better than I can take: Note: Minnie 800D is NOT included in this sale!3 points -
All I did this evening was shape the neck end and grind off the screw shanks that were left in the body. As a respected BC member often says; this is not how to do it but this is how I do it. I found that a medium engineer's file worked well with the neck. It felt remarkably like filing brass! I was quickly able to get to this: The gap is negligible now - Then it was time for the Dremel again... That quickly took off the snaggy bits of screw shanks;3 points

Played this ‘Album’ this morning for the first time in years. Much derided by the Lydon purists when it came out (1986), but I absolutely loved it. It was the first time I’d heard Steve Vai, so that was a bit of an eye opener. (It was produced by Bill Laswell, who produced the Sly & Robbie album Language Barrier from a year earlier that I also loved at the time) Again, it just felt completely different to anything else around at the time... If you’re not aware of Album then it’s definitely worth a listen, and if you are aware but haven’t visited it in a while, then it’s definitely worth going back to! Take it away, John..!3 points

It’s a chicken and egg situation. People are unlikely to put their hand in with no idea about the spec, and if you decide on a spec first then people will say ‘yes but what if’ The only way forward would be for you to put together some mock-up designs, vote for the fave and see if enough will back it.3 points

Withdrawn, I’ve been playing this a bit more lately & decided to keep it for now. Fender Precision 1977/78 according to the serial number. Has some playing wear but it’s a good’n. Ash body, maple neck. Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA in 1977 - 1978 Production Number: 76111 Trades wise I might be tempted by a musicman. I’m in North Shields, Tyne & Wear. I’d prefer pickup but may meet half way or post if I really have to. I’ve sold 4 basses recently so check my feedback. I decided to get down to two precision’s so that’s why this one is up for sale.2 points -
Moving abroad and reluctantly selling this Kramer 450B fretless bass. In good condiction - knobs are not original but a very tasteful replacement. There is actually a spare orginal pot in case which I held onto. All in good working order. Has a few very minor dings unerneath the pots, which are hardly noticable. Small crack on the neck pickup surround - these are notoriously fragile (but has held up for years). I have the original hardcase, which is also in remarkably good condition. SOLD. Seial number 22025 - Made in USA Would prefer local collection (south East London - Forest Hill Area) but could courier. In terms of specs - probably best to look here: http://www.vintagekramer.com/alum.htm Some photos below and more photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uvbef4nFVihXv4Lo82 points -

Speaking as an elderly white man, I'm fascinated by his current take on music's domination by the conventions of old white men - just refreshing to have such a well thought through challenge to the perceptions we take for granted. Probably doesn't improve my bass playing, but it sure as hell improves my approach to the music I love to listen to.2 points

The only issue I have with his videos is the pointless ‘behind the scene’ waffle, often from his car or on the stairs up to his studio, that takes up the first couple of minutes of every video. Just get on with it Scott!2 points

Hmmm his advertising is pretty intense BUT he's got so much good free content I think we can give him a pass. Currently hacking through interminable Gary Willis lesson promotions but hey, Gary is great too. Love his books. Nice chap too - met him at a Bass show a few years back.2 points

Updates! Really excited at this point! Got the final coat of tung oil on the bass this afternoon so got to leave this coat on for a final 24 hours before I put some wax on the bass and polish it up tomorrow. This is the 4th coat pre-excess wipeoff but it looked so tasty I had to take a photo while it was "glossy". This was after the first oil coat which I applied with 1500grit sandpaper dried so nice and matt and created a great surface to wire wool and re oil. Next! Wax and polish on the wood tomorrow and then I'll polish the frets, time depending I might get the hardware on the bass and get it strung up but might call it a day after lining the cavities with copper tape. Not going to lie, measured up some timber ready for my next build too... what have I got myself in to!2 points

That's a joke , shirley ? Ebay listening ? About 100 years ago, they stopped sellers being able to leave scumbag buyers a negative feedback. Since then, there's been a multitude of scams that no seller can warn other sellers about. People have moaned to Ebay for donkeys years about this and what have they done - sweet FA2 points

I found some screws but they are a little oversize and countersunk, oh, and cad plated. Dremel time. Then make pilot holes for screws. All screws fitted and tightened. The fair side (I didn't mention but I've taken the string tree from the Encore as it is a slightly more pleasing piece of metal) - There you go. My challenge now is to make the neck fit snugly in the pocket. The curvature of the neck root is different from that of the pocket. It's a big enough difference to make me want a better fit. Especially as I am going to pull the neck into the pocket with two additional screws a la Billy Sheehan. I shall shape the neck end to achieve this.2 points
