Personally, anything by Oasis. I have an unnatural dislike of them; having missed them in their heyday, my only connection with Oasis songs is them being lowest common denominator pub rock anthems for drunk people.8 points

Up for grabs is this lovely 78 Musicmaster bass! This one is full of vibe / Mojo inc dings etc from 45 years of use. The frets have been dressed professionally in my workshop + setup done etc so it’s playing beautifully! Comes with the nickel roundwounds currently installed + a set of tapes and will ship in an old tweed hard case! The pickup is an upgraded Aero music master pickup (a true 4 pole bass pickup not the 6 pole strat guitar pickup they originally came with) Pots are also none original but everything operates as it should and sounds great. Truss rod is operating perfectly and the neck is nice and straight. £1075 inc UK shipping.8 points -

I genuinely enjoy all the songs in our sets. No. Correction. I genuinely enjoy playing all the songs in the various sets. Even songs I would never, ever listen to, playing live, playing any music to an audience, is my thing. It's where I live. I think it's because I was out of playing for several years and couldn't get back in. Couldn't find a band, believed I was washed up, too old. So when I got a chance I grabbed it like a drowning man. And I still feel grateful to be out there today.7 points

Now SOLD. Sadly selling my beautiful Spector Euro4 LX-EX as I'm just not getting much use out of it. I've had it for about 7 years, but I believe it was manufactured in 2007 (according to the serial number NB6546). It's in excellent condition, has only been lightly used at home, and for a few rehearsals, in all that time. It has an Aguilar OBP-2 pre-amp (fitted by the previous owner, I believe), and all other original parts as far as I know. EMG pickups (the usual Spector P + J combo), through-neck construction, exotic wood finish (hence the "EX" in the name, I believe), Schaller tuners, and is currently strung with TI flats. Weight is 8.8lb / 4.05kg according to my luggage scales. Comes with a hard case, included in the price. In full working order, nice low action and very playable, no marks or blemishes to my knowledge, and has been professionally set up a few years ago, not long after I got it. Any questions, or more pics, please just ask. Collection from Highworth (just north of Swindon, Wiltshire), or I can send by fully insured courier, in the case and well packaged, for an extra £25.7 points -
Hey everyone Here’s a fantastic bass for your viewing pleasure! My 1978/79 P bass! It’s a beautifully vibrant and light weight example too at only 8lbs 10oz with bridge and pickup covers installed. It’s completely original complete apart from the lead and hot wires from the pickup, pots, jack and capacitor. It has matching serial numbers on the headstock and underside of the pickguard. The wiring was all done professionally and for the good of the instrument as what was installed before was none original and a little crackly. (The parts that were previously installed can be supplied if desired) There are no breaks or repairs. only a small sticker on the rear of the bass that looks like it’s been there forever so I didn’t have the heart to remove it Haha! The neck feels beautiful and is straight with a fully functioning truss rod. It is the B width most common in this era. Frets are in fantastic shape barely any wear at all. It has a lovely snug neck pocket which along with the nice light weight and fantastic tone would classify this as a bit of a gem really! Comes with a more modern fender case which suits it really well. Any questions please just ask. price includes UK shipping!6 points -
Played our monthly residency at a local pub with my acoustic duo. It's a request evening, and never fails to amaze me with the variety of songs people want to hear. Really busy night further bolstered by a group of people who had been in since lunchtime attending a post funeral do, so suitably lubricated by the time we struck up at 8.30pm. Some of the party were from Australia, so the evening was scattered with some (perhaps stereotypical) songs for them - starting with 'Waltzing Matilda', through to 'Whole Lotta Rosie'! These were fortunately well received by all the audience, and made the evening fly by for us. I really enjoy the unpredictability of gigs like these, which make a welcome contrast to my main band's gigs.6 points

For sale is my 50 year old in september cool as hell Acoustic 136 combo 1x15. quite rare in the uk i think, you dont see many. iv been doing this up for a while now, amp is working all it needs to finish is some tolex on the back, i have taken the back covering off as it has shrank a fair bit and looked tatty but still have some of it so you can order some iv been told its just fender tolex, it has a new set of 4 wheels, the 2 front ones lockable and some new corners and big bonus ! it has the very hard to get original speaker in it, a White Altec 421-8H, H meaning it has the upgraded copper coil fitted which also works great and is worth nearly as much as the combo by its self ! ! i was going to put a jbl in it and keep the altec, but its nice to keep them together, the amp is a great design, for example, to change the power transistors these are just screwed to the side and can be pulled out by just unscrewing to two screws, no soldering at all, made for quick changing in the field, it needs finishing with the tolex on the back, but its all ready to go and is VERY LOUD ! Its sold cheap for 250 which is not much for something of this age and useable. Collect from the wirral send me a pm if interested, cheers all. P.S. all the manuals and a service manual with all the wiring sch's are easy found on line. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1039548/Acoustic-136.html5 points -

A few days late - I had a show in Edinburgh on Friday. Initially planned as a double bill of Glasgow then Edinburgh, the logistics didn't work out so it was just the one city. Absolute breeze of a journey from London. I didn't realise it was so quick on the train! Lovely intimate venue, really attentive and up for it crowd, wonderful feedback from the set and sold all my merch. Can't wait to get back to Scotland to promote my next release at the end of the year. Glasgow next time for sure, but my sights are also on Aberdeen.5 points

If anyone is bored playing bass they should be looking at themselves and then the band. If it's a cover band, and it's a successful cover band, I'll play anything the audience wants to hear. That's the gig. My only requirement is that we do it well. For all other bands I'll express an opinion, but as I'm usually with good players I can enjoy most songs for what the guys are playing. I'll enjoy anything if I'm with a good drummer.5 points

To be honest, Sweet Home Alabama is one of those songs where I seldom see a cover band bassist actually play it correctly. They usually play it far too straight, lacking the swing, pushes etc... I can't stand Mr Brightside, Sex On Fire or Oasis..... hate those tunes/bands. Overplayed nonsense for the chav brigade.... so it doesn't matter about the basslines as the songs themselves make me heave.5 points

I had to play Dance The Night Away by the Mavericks for a dep gig once. Worse still, I had to sing lead vocal on it too which meant I had to play it more than once in order to practice it. 5 notes.... E Ab B Ab B Eb F# Eb E Ab B Ab B Eb F# Eb E Ab B Ab B Eb F# Eb E Ab B Ab B Eb F# Eb over and over and over and over... I still wake up screaming. EDIT: I've just looked out my notes, and at the top of my lyric crib sheet I've written "E Ab B Ab B Eb F# Eb repeated ad nauseum".5 points

I've told this on here previously, so apologies if you've read it before. I used to play the fiddle (still do, butrarely do gigs these days) and frequently played for ceili bands. One Burns night, my band was booked to play at a Burn's Supper in a banqueting hall in London. It was quite a grand occasion - men in DJs and kilts, women in ball gowns. A tradition at the opening of Burns Suppers is that the haggis is carried ceremonially into the hall, accompanied by a bagpiper. It is placed on the top table, the MC will recite Burns's "Address to a Haggis" and then cut into it with his dagger, which signifies the start of dinner itself. The band will often play background music before and during dinner and then play for dancing once the meal is finished. We were sat on stage, playing, when the bagpiper arrived (we didn't know him. He had been booked by the organisers). He was completely plastered. Pipers on Burns Nights can often clean up - they play at a series of events (they are only needed for a few minutes), accept a dram (or two) and their fee and move on to the next one. Our hero had obviously fulfilled a number of prior engagements. He could still walk in a straight line and play, so he was sent into the hall, followed by the chef carrying the haggis and the MC. The procession arrived at the table, which was on stage on front of the band. They climbed the steps, the chef placed the haggis on the table and the MC stepped forward to read the address. The piper stood to one side and, no doubt due to the quantity of booze he had consumed, lost control of his bowels for a moment. He was wearing his kilt in the traditional manner, so there was nothing to catch the product of his lapse, which plopped onto the stage between his feet. He shifted to one side, stepped on it, slipped and his foot shot up, flinging pieces of it over the diners sitting at the front tables. The band rushed off stage and howled with laughter in the dressing room whilst the cleaning staff hastily did their stuff. The evening did carry on, but it took some time to sort things out.5 points

This Reverend bass is an absolute tone monster and one of the best examples of a PJ available today. I have really enjoyed playing it but since moving to a short scale Reverend, it just doesn't get enough use. Midnight black with cream binding and roasted maple fretboard gives it a classy, timeless look. There are also lots of nice little details including a custom 6 bolt neck plate and jack socket. For a passive bass, the pickups deliver a huge sound, whether solo'ed or blended. The blend knob offers lots of versatility. Fit and finish is excellent and the bass feels really solid. Satin neck; 42mm nut width; weighs approx 8.4lbs (need to confirm) The bass is in very good condition. There is some light scratching on the pickguard as you would expect. There are also three scratches on the back giving it a little buckle rash mojo Comes with all the case candy. No case included in the sale. Not interested in any trades thanks. Cash only please. For anyone in NI, you are welcome to try it out before purchasing. Happy to ship to UK buyers, at the buyer's expense Lobster's review - he liked it a lot! The official blurb: The Decision P bass is Reverend’s take on the versatile “PJ” set up. Two distinctly different pickups harnessed to a pickup pan control that allows you to go from funk to thump and all points in-between with the twist of one knob, the Reverend Decision P is very versatile! Now sporting a gorgeous Roasted Maple neck with Walnut strips, the Decision has a neck worthy of a bass costing several times more. A well balanced solid Korina body finished in Midnight Black gives this bass great stage appeal. The sturdy bridge can be strung through body or top loaded. Hipshot Ultralight tuners made of aircraft grade aluminium make them extra-light. The difference in weight can be as much as 2-3oz less in the headstock, which means a more balanced bass that’s more comfortable to play. And the tone is great! The bass is more defined and enhanced with the Hipshot Ultralites.4 points -
Everyone’s musical tastes are different but as a bass player I find that there are a few numbers that although I might not mind listening to them on the radio, I absolutely hate playing. Why? Well, let’s take an example - Sweet Home Alabama. It’s not difficult (three chords and a little rinky dink about the governor) but it’s like that mythical country rock star, Loudon Boring. Utterly tedious. Goes on forever. Nothing the bass player can do to liven it up without potentially upsetting the guitarist’s extended twangy solos. Grit the teeth for a seven minute excursion to Tedium-on-Sea. So what’s your set list poison?4 points

Power amps are typically rack gear. Crown will be decent e.g. https://www.thomann.de/gb/crown_xli_1500.htm , but it's 12.7kg and a 2U rack format, i.e. heavy and large. It's uncommon for bassists to use rack gear for decades now because there is basically no point in it. There are some non-rack power amps which are smaller and lighter e.g. previously mentioned Baby Sumo, or the GR Pure Amp - but unless you have an actual, specific reason to use a power amp, I'd stick with the Markbass as it's going to be more straightforward. Plug the preamp into the instrument input. Previous poster suggested using the effects loop - usually good advice, but Markbass is atypical in that its effects loop comes before the eq section. Or if you are looking at power amps because the Markbass's response is not flat enough, there are other, better options. E.g. powered speakers. BTW "preamp" and "DI" are different things but I think you are using them interchangeably. A preamp is what you are after - it gives tone shaping: eq and possibly overdrive etc. Whereas a DI box generally aspires to not change your tone but just convert the instrument signal so it can go straight into a mixing desk e.g. if recording, or going into a venue PA system. Some preamps do come with DI functionality built in - but not all do.4 points

Fond tale from my Uncle Tom playing guitar after a gig/practise that has came to mind. Proceeded to leave the Venue after a Gig/Practise by an upper outside door with a metal set of stairs to the carpark below, as he was walking out with one hand on his pride and joy of a valve guitar amp, The strap on the top snapped and the guitar amp when bouncing down each stair well. Naturally the rest of the band who were his brothers could do nothing but snigger at his unfortunate. Upon retrieving his battered amp at the bottom of the stair well, Tom went to place it in the back of his car which as many will know anything made in 1970's Britain at the time was mostly rust, and when he closed the lid of the boot with all his gear in, the floor gave way.4 points

We’ve been playing together a long time Dave, and between us can usually get through a wide range of songs. My mate Gary is an amazing guitar player / singer and knows so many ‘old’ songs- never ceases to amaze me. We can usually remember song structure / chords etc, it’s the lyrics that trip us up. Because of this we use a massive pad of material accessed via the ForScore app on iPad. Must have over 2000 songs which really helps in such situations. I think audiences understand that to play such a diverse set we need a bit of help so not a problem, and they really appreciate it when we can do their choice. We have a booking to play at a village hall do in the Yorkshire Wolds for the Coronation in May, and guess there’ll be a massive list of requests to challenge us - can’t wait!3 points

The number I like least is '28'. Here's why... An aging comedian retires to a retirement home for retired comedians. On his first day there, he goes down to lunch, and there’s a bunch of retired fellow comics sitting around the table. The conversation they’re having puzzles the newcomer somewhat. One of comics at the table announces “12..!” and everybody laughs. Then another one says, “44..!” and there's slapping of thighs and guffaws all around. During a lull in the conversation, the new guy introduces himself, and asks, “What’s going on..? What’s so funny about calling out numbers..?” One of the comics says, “Oh, you’re the new kid on the block, eh..? Let me explain. We’ve all been retired for many years. We’ve been telling and re-telling the same old jokes for so long, we’ve assigned them all numbers. To save time, instead of telling the joke again, we just say the number..!” “Wow,” says the new guy. “I’ve never seen that before. That’s pretty smart. Mind if I join you..?” “Certainly,” the other comic says, and beckons him to sit down. The newly-arrived comic is eager to fit in. So five minutes later, he calls out, “28..!” Nobody laughs – you could’ve heard a pin drop. His voice quavering, he asks, “What’s wrong..? Isn’t number 28 a good joke..?” “Yes, it certainly is,” replies another comic. “But it’s the way you tell it."3 points

Here is my newly acquired Leduc BD3 fretted bass, bearing serial number BD3 060 A, so an early model from 1981, the tenth BD3 bass made in Fresse-sur-Moselle, France. It has a quite unique Canadian red maple neck through (only 100 instruments were made with this quite rare wood), a Macassar ebony fretboard with small Fender type frets and a bone nut, and two wings of French alder. Look at the continuous integrated ramp that became shorter after 1982. The scale is 33 inches. The pickups are the 1981 original Seymour Duncan Hot Jazz Bass (SJB-2) and Seymour Duncan Vintage Precision Bass (SPB-1), alongside a classic passive path (volume, volume, tone). The bridge is the excellent and original 3 points brass Leduc CG3. I changed the original Gotoh GB-7 for some very lightweight Res-O-Lite to totally avoid neck diving and replaced the original strap buttons by Dunlop Dual Design models for personal commodity. I, of course, kept the original parts. The total weight is now 3.960 kilos. I've put some DR Strings Legend Flatwound 45~105 on it as it was fitted with different brands of flatwounds when I got it and sounded nice (this certainly explains the lack of wear on the frets too). And these strings really serve this very bass: instant Motown on the neck pickup, terrific Jaco/Magma/Fusion on the bridge pickup and excellent scooped tone for chords or melodic progressions with both pickups on. So enough talk...3 points

An amazing amp that is no longer in production (goodness only knows why!) , you can read more here https://www.roland.com/uk/products/micro_cube_bass_rx/ I've one in amazing condition up for grabs ... and at a steal price wise! Includes the power supply, but she will run about 10h hours on 6 AA batteries to power your rehearsal or small gig ... no worries ...no mains power required, pop it down, plug in your bass and groove! And the onboard effects are fab! Some pix of course. It is light for a combo at only 6.8 Kg (Thats about 15 lbs in old money) She is sadly pretty much unused at present, my back disability means I now carry my Blackstar Fly 3 instead (another brilliant battery powered amp) but she looks brand new! Audition/collection from Hove (More or less Brighton) or well wrapped for delivery (currently packaged, 33cmx40cmx40cm @ 8kg) S'manth x3 points -

Set lists are always a compromise and we don't always get our own way, so most of us are playing a few songs we'd rather not. My view is that if we give any song less than our best then we're failing ourselves, the band and the audience. It doesn't hurt to spend 5 mins giving a bad song your best playing. I've spent nearly 40 years gigging in bands via personal recommendation. That's because I give every song 101%, even the ones I'd rather not be playing.3 points

Cheers Dan - good spot. A LOT of useful extra features on this unit not available on my Tech 21 VTDI, which is a great piece of kit, and which makes me think that this could be worth checking out, and would seem to easily justify the £100 premium over the VTDI: - two stomp switches which allows you to set the clean tone you want as an always-on and kick in the drive when needed, rather than having to choose between one or the other with the VTDI (or faff around with resetting the dials - not really something you want to be doing on a live set); - the dirt has both saturation level and separate volume level; - three "classic" factory cabs sims for 115, 410 and 810 cabs or up to three cabs of your own by using the (free) Ampeg IR Loader app (via USB port), plus separate volume control; - semi-parametric mids; - ultra-Hi and 3-way ultra-Lo switches (including a cut to the Lo - which I'm guessing is equivalent to an hpf); - variable compressor up to 10:1 ratio - albeit one knob functionality and no metering; - aux-in (with separate vol control) / headphone section - making it perfect silent home practice home tool. Given the prices of the recently launched Bergantino pre-amp and the Origin kit, and all the extra features this is offering over a VTDI, it's pricing doesn't seem particularly excessive? If it sounds good, Ampeg could be onto a winner here.3 points

1981? An unspecified pub in London, I was much refreshed when I got in the van, so I have no idea where I got out, Peckham came to mind so I'll go with that. Arrived to find we were the third band to play on a bill of three so I had time for more snakebite. I remember lots of people arriving who had come to see us from my home town, by gig time the place was rammed. I sat down behind my drums (yes, I was drumming in this band), counted the first song in with drumstick clicks and, on the third click, I vomited profusely over my entire kit. When I say vomited, I mean gushing geyser-type, dam busting style, a proper outpouring tinged pink from the blackcurrant in the snakebite. I managed, somehow, to complete the count in and begin the song which was mostly a floor tom/snare pattern and, as both drum heads were just lakes of pink sick, this first song was very splashy indeed. The throwing up cleared my head a bit and I got through the song, some kind soul took pity on me and brought me over a pint of what I thought was water which I downed before song two, it was actually lemonade and, half way through song two, the fizzing lemonade decided it didn't like my insides so it flew out spectacularly all over the back of the singer. Still, managed to finish the gig somehow, can't remember getting home nor how my kit got back but it did. We were finding little dried lumps of pink puke everywhere for weeks. Luckily for me everyone, including the singer and the people from home, seemed to find the whole thing hilarious so I counted myself lucky and did another years worth of gigs with them. I still have the t-shirt I was wearing that night that which I obviously used to wipe down the drums with, it is streaked like it's been bleached. Excellent.3 points

Nobody has mentioned All Right Now yet, amazing. I left my last covers band because a goodly number of tunes already listed (and ARN) were on the set list. Mostly in a decent originals band but I do play in a covers band occasionally with a female singer so doing more interesting tunes now. Also fair to say that one man's meat is another man's poison. We will never all like the same things, which is good.2 points
