    [quote name='liamcapleton' post='880295' date='Jun 28 2010, 08:40 PM']Players like Nathan Watts have been in the game long enough to realise that although good gear matters, it's whatever needs the least maintenance on the road and what sounds adequate to get along with! People with his level of credibility don't need to deal with guys on online forums claiming to be experts on drivers, whereas given half the chance all those 'speaker experts' would probably jump at the chance to be Stevie Wonder's bass player and MD.[/quote] +2

    [quote name='blackmn90' post='880133' date='Jun 28 2010, 06:13 PM']yhp its the bossa, havnt seen the alleva in ages which is a shame because its gorgeous! Dont know what the fretless he has was though :S[/quote] I believe the fretless was a Japanese-made 'Crews Maniac'....

    [quote name='dazco' post='880368' date='Jun 28 2010, 09:20 PM']What would you ask for it? I bought it from a chap on here, YouMa (Mark) and it is exactly the same condition. Should we say £650[/quote] As you paid only £560 for it, maybe that or less would be the right price to ask?

    [quote name='OldGit' post='879996' date='Jun 28 2010, 04:01 PM']Ah right oh. Rhere's a fretless that shape that turns up at jam sessions round here. I'll have a closer look next time and see if its a Spector..[/quote] If it is... try & get a picture - would love to see it

    [quote name='OldGit' post='878214' date='Jun 26 2010, 03:49 PM']Wow! What's the big bum one of the far right of that picture?[/quote] A very early (1976/77) Spector SB1 bass. One of the first Spectors ever made

    Nice pics bluesparky! Sorry, haven't read this thread since I last posted so didn't see that you'd be there on the main stage. I was working Artist Liaison for PRS - would have said "Hi!" if I'd known....

    [quote name='casapete' post='879525' date='Jun 28 2010, 08:50 AM']I loved it,despite the odd 'moment'. Nate appeared to be using a couple of Hartke LH amps, with Hartke Hydrive 1x15 and 4x10 cabs. He played keys on a few including Superstition (which had Stevie on keys on the original.)[/quote] This is correct... I had stage access at Hyde Park and the above is what he was running. His tone was clear and full and could easily be heard

    "Had a few interested PM's but nothing solid yet" -type BUMP! I'm not intending to let this go for substantially less, so if anyone's waiting for the price to keep dropping much lower before pouncing - it's not gonna happen. Check my link above for an identical bass at double my price....

    One morning at 3am in some Service Station on the way back from a gig we met a Ginsters Rep...... We told him that we survive on their food after gigs & wondered whether we could get an endorsement.... he wasn't impressed!

    Nice bass... Fingerboard is Rosewood though, not Ebony....

    [quote name='escholl' post='875942' date='Jun 23 2010, 10:35 PM']The thing that always amazes me about the internet bass forums are how quickly things are hyped up, loved, then quickly forgotten, moved on, or even spoken ill of in favour of whatever the next big new thing is. In any case, I'm sure at some point 'heavy' will come back.[/quote] Yep, agreed.....it's all Markbass at the moment..... and before that it was EBS....something else will be along soon.... I still have a large early 90's EV-loaded 600W MesaBoogie 2x15. Why? Because it's solid, powerful and shakes the room with low end while still pubching tight in the mids and sparkly in the highs..... and it's hugely reliable!

    I'll be there! I'm working backstage all 3 days

    I can't believe this bass is still here..... An excellent bass, supreme craftmanship, stunning tones and a feel to die for.... AND an amazing price....

    Thanks Tony, this really is a FANTASTIC fretless.... and SO smooth to play...

    When everyone finally realises that bijou 2x8" speakers just don't reproduce the full bass grunt and shake your booty enough, everyone will be back to buying 8x10 & 2x15's like it's a whole new idea.... It's all cyclical...

    [quote name='Major-Minor' post='874326' date='Jun 22 2010, 12:12 PM']By the way - you can't just join PRS or MCPS because you fancy it ! You have to have published material already out there. They are collecting agencies after all, and if there is nothing to collect, they will not be interested in you ![/quote] This isn't true. You don't have to be published, you just have to have some evidence that your music is being performed live or has been licensed for a product or commercial release.... After all, there is no point joining if you aren't likely to earn any royalties. It is currently £10 to join PRS but you don't pay this, it is simply taken from your first earnt royalties....

    Forgot to say.... Please check my feedback to be assured of a great and trustworthy buying experience: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...0&hl=cetera"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...0&hl=cetera[/url]

    Ah! That's the first bass I ever owned!!! Didn't have it for long as it wasn't great - got an Aria CSB360 which was a lot better

    Thanks guys! I don't really want to sell it.... but needs be and all that.... It really is the 'creme de la creme' of fretless basses....!

    Some ACTUAL photos of your bass might also help...

    [quote name='Jamesemt' post='870763' date='Jun 18 2010, 01:26 PM']Nah, have always thought tributes that try and look like the real artists look a bit daft!! Although I could be persuaded to wear a pair of shades [/quote] Ah, but a good tribute earns decent money - it's the attention to detail that sets them apart. Just 'playing' the songs makes you a 'covers band'

    Wal or Pedulla..... Oh look, I have one for sale! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=92423"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=92423[/url]

    I've found myself needing to move on some gear I don't use often enough...... but, what to sell? It may seem strange, with all the basses I own, that I've chosen this as a possible candidate for moving on.... but I may do so for two reasons.... 1) I play my other basses a lot more (as I rarely play fretless at the moment) 2) I have probably the BEST 2 fretless basses money can buy. A Wal Mk1 Custom and this Pedulla. I have an emotional link to the Wal for personal reasons so I guess that frees up this beautiful Pedulla - which is possibly the better of the two instruments! It's in excellent condition, comes with it's original 'Pedulla'-logo'd case (collectable in its own right!) and plays beautifully! It comes loaded with active Bartolini P/J's and gold hardware. The 24 fret(less) fretboard is an extremely playable & smooth Epoxy-coated Ebony and it is a lined fretless. The only niggles are some slightly rusty screws on the Bartolini pickups and, a very light surface dent/chip on the front edge of the headstock - see pic below. The pots are also a little scratchy - which some switch cleaner will easily sort... Asking price? I don't really want to let it go.... and I'm NOT looking for trades of any sort....but if someone can offer me *SOLD* ! This is a bargain price - they generally go for MUCH more, see here: ([url="http://www.custom-sounds.com/epages/Gagar.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/CustomSounds/Products/1494"]http://www.custom-sounds.com/epages/Gagar....s/Products/1494[/url] Would prefer pick up from Central London or Surrey (Guildford area) and could possibly meet within 50 miles for petrol costs - but will ship by the courier of your choice at your expense if required.... Cash on collection, cheque or direct bank transfer please. No Paypal.

    Realistically, you may get a buyer at approx £800 as that is what most s/h (non-custom-option) LX's seem to go for....

    This..... or this.... (both are rare as rockinghorse sh*t "Spector 'Nikki Sixx' Spectorbird" basses)
