  2. I bought AndytBB's Digitech Bass SYnth Wah pedal this week - all easy and good, super quick delivery and a friendly service. Good work mister!

  4. Here's one I took at Tool at the O2 last year. Look, hardly any phones! (I think this was the one song we were "allowed" to)
  5. Also the whole "phone locked in a bag" thing as reported for Ghost recently: https://planetradio.co.uk/planet-rock/news/rock-news/ghost-mobile-phone-ban/ Agree endless phone use, photos, videos etc is stupid - watch the gig. But I don't need my phone locked in a bag. (Some do mind you)
  6. Think I preferred him in Rage Against The Machine actually
  7. We've all seen this but highlight moments for me are the harmonics fill at 3m02s and the whatever-it-is at 3m16s (link if video doesn't embed: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2r9d1)
  8. Here he is playing the heck out of Isn't She Lovely in a tent on a rainy morning to a group of nonplussed onlookers
  9. Mark King was on BBC Breakfast this morning for a 40th anniversary of Level 42 chat. About 1h50m in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001qgnd/breakfast-11092023 I like how Sally is twirling her hair during the gherkins bit.
  10. This is the classic Roland JC-50 guitar combo - much sought-after thanks to its classic clean and chorus sounds and relied on by players such as Johnny Marr, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Andy Summers, Larry Coryell, Robert Smith, Billy Duffy, Roger Hodgson, Joe Strummer, Prince, Steve Hackett, Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Steve Rothery and Jeff Buckley. Using an online Roland serial number decoder, the production date for s/n 218079 is August 1982. Condition: The amp has been in my possession for around 20 years, and has seen mostly home/studio usage and some light gigging. As expected for an amp of this age, some cosmetic marks and scratches to the amp are obvious, especially on the back surface. However the amp is sturdy and robust and was clearly built to last. Also evident in the photos is that the rear panel has some missing screws - again this has no effect on the security and stability of the back panel, and I expect that these screws could be easily replaced. All control knobs and switches work as expected throughout their range. Some control knobs, when turned, produce a light crackle when in motion, but nothing out of the ordinary for an amp of this age. There is no unwanted residual crackle or interference from the controls when the amp is in normal in use. Specification: Solid state guitar combo amplifier Speaker: 1x12 inch Roland driver Power: 50W RMS into 8 ohms Front Panel: High/Low inputs, Brilliance On/Off, Volume, Treble, Bass, Distorion, Reverb, Chorus Speed/Depth/Vibrato-Chorus-Off selector switch Back Panel: fuse, headphone socket, footswitch socket for Chorus/Distortion/Reverb Dimensions: 55cm x 50cm x 24cm Weight: 18kg Collection: I have no packaging for the amp, so local pickup is preferred from London SE4. However I am happy to meet in central London (or other London location by agreement) to exchange - but please consider this as "delivery" rather than an opportunity to try-out or inspect, ie the transaction will need to be completed in advance of exchange. Locations preferred: London Bridge, Waterloo, Charing Cross stations - please get in touch to discuss if you're interested, or to enquire about other locations. I'm also advertising on eBay and reverb.com, where you'll see the same photos - but a lower price for basschat. Any questions - please ask!
  11. This is my Novation BassStation analogue bass synth - original & best, funky classic retro sounds, originally produced in 1993 and responsbile for some of the most iconic and classic synth sounds of modern music. See https://novationmusic.com/articles/the-bass-station-story/ for the Novation BassStation story from the manufacturers. The synth is in 100% full working order, and as it has only seen home/studio use, it is in excellent physical condition, with no yellowing to the keys nor cracks to the case or controls. All connections and controls are sturdy and crackle-free, and the synth has been tested with a MIDI foot-pedal controller (the Kenton K8) to ensure MIDI signals are received as expected. Also included are the original box, internal packaging and manual, and an aftermarket power supply - the synth requires 9V DC centre positive, and can also be powered by batteries (not included here). The box is not pristeen but has done its job of protecting the keyboard (please ask if you'd like photos of the box/packaging). Further photos are available on request. The synth has been stored flat and boxed, away from light, heat, strong odours, smoke, damp and anything else that might adversely affect the product, and kept in a pet- and smoke-free home. It will be packaged appropriately for postage in bubble wrap and robust packaging. Postage: The synth plus box and packaging will be shipped as a Royal Mail Medium Package using Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm, as this service provides adequate insurance as per guidelines at the Royal Mail website. The quoted price on this listing includes the cost of postage to UK addresses. Sorry, no overseas postage for this item. Also I am happy to meet in central/SE London for personal collection - for example Waterloo, Charing Cross, London Bridge, City, or nearby - but please consider this as "delivery" rather than an opportunity to try-out or inspect, ie the transaction will need to be completed in advance of exchange. Please drop me a line to ask more about this. I'm also advertising on eBay and reverb.com, where you'll see the same photos - but a lower price for basschat. Any questions, please ask!
  12. I'm moving on my Moog Taurus 3 bass pedals, as they deserve to be out there somewhere shaking foundations. I've had them since new, and they've been used only at home. They are in amazing condition, and I have no hesitation in using the reverb.com "Mint" condition description, which states "items are completely blemish-free and have not been modified in any way." The firmware is up-to-date with the most recent version from Moog. As well as capturing the sounds of the original Moog Taurus I, the T3 opens up all kinds of options for new sounds and controls including LFOs, external CVs and arpeggiation. Everything is original - box, manual, power cable, and paperwork from Moog. Also included is the official Moog dust cover, which is also in excellent condition as the pedals have always been kept in their original box when not in use. The T3 is heavy - so this sale is collection only, although get in touch to discuss options. Collection is from London SE4, although I'm open to travelling short distances to meet and exchange. This will require that the buyer complete the purchase from their side in advance of the exchange - please consider this as "delivery" rather than an opportunity to try-out or inspect. I'm also advertising on eBay and reverb.com, where you'll see the same photos - but a lower price for basschat. Any questions - please get in touch, additional photos are available on request. Where basschat folk have left me feedback you'll see it at https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/78478-feedback-for-toneknob/.
  13. And here's his much loved Afterneath demo at Wunjo's on Denmark St starring "fidgeting man who can't get comfortable on a grubby guitar shop floor" (spoiler alert, it's me)
  14. doesn't matter! I meant singer vs band rather than bassist vs band.
  15. what a monster player. love this intro and subsequent maelstrom from The Mars Volta. hope he's well on the road to recovery after his bike crash in 2020
  16. Radiohead (although more a case of like the band not the singer. did we do this in another thread?)
  17. I have zero Apple products. I suspect AirTags won't work for me right? What's the Android alternative?
  18. As much as I love the original Gates Of Delirium, the live version on Yesshows makes it clear that they've spent many stage hours getting it to groove even harder than it did on Relayer. Also, it shows that the best bits of Topographic Oceans can be distilled into an admittedly still overlong 30 minute version of Ritual.
