    A bit of a schlep over to Liverpool last night for what seemed like the only available rehearsal room in the north west. 30 miles in 90 mins 🤢🤢 And it was totally worth it. We've got our first gig next month so there's some added focus. Plus we're finding our style and getting used to playing together more. Finally, the new songs we brought last night just seemed to fit. Silent (ish) practice with everything through the desk lets us record and listen back. I've never done that before and it's great to be able to be objective about what worked and what didn't. For the gear spotters I took my Sandberg Cali VM5 into a HX stomp, then a GR one 350 head (I seem to get a better sound than just with the stomp straight to the desk). No cab. Here are a couple of the new tracks we tried. Raye into Prince. Got to have a bit of fun with chorus & octaver towards the end. This was only the second or third time through so be gentle.

    A quick meet up with Joel to sell him a bag. As usual with BC, a seamless deal with a lovely bloke. Cheers!

    Tom bought a pedalboard from me. Another smooth & easy transaction on basschat. Thanks!

    Blimey, that was quick. Good condition, fully working Sennheiser wireless IEM system. EW300 - G3 model. I bought it from here a few years ago and it's been used sporadically at gigs/rehearsals since. A few cosmetic scuffs on both units, but no structural damage/dents etc. Comes with a Gator carry case. Price includes standard UK postage, or collect from Sale, South Manchester.

    15" x 5" pedalboard. It's this one on Amazon, bought and used a couple of times before I swiftly realised I needed more real estate. Excellent condition. £20 posted

    Bought this on here a few months back but I'm not using it so time to move on. Great little recorder, but we're going straight into the desk for recording now. It's in good condition, fully working and comes with a little 2GB micro SD card. £75 posted within the UK.

    Well played that man!

    Little bump for a price drop, and to add these videos of the bass in action.

    Thanks John. She's a real find, I had to concentrate extra hard at the audition because I just wanted to listen to her singing!

    @smpbass Yes they are.

    Thanks Blue, certainly hope so. It's been so long since I was in a startup band that I'd forgotten how much work it is to get those first gigs with venues.

    New band is at the 'record some stuff to show venues and get gigs' stage. So we did. Go pro in the corner, silent-ish rehearsal with everything into the desk. Run a few takes of each track and pick the best one. The drummer has just finished giving it a bit of a polish and syncing the audio & video up. I think he's done a pretty good job:

    This is why we drive the van isn't it? I'm very conscious of my ability (I try to join bands with better musicians to make me focus and improve). So I try to add value where I can. In my last band, I booked the gigs, did the socials, stored & set up the PA and did the sound. Never cancelled a gig or practice because of me either. Control freak? Moi?

    Brand new and unopened. Got them as a present but they're not my regular brand or gauge. EXL 170-5. 45 -130 nickel wound 5 string set. £22 £18 posted.

    I've got an old h5 kicking around in the 'might come in useful' cupboard if you want an extended borrow?
  16. colleya
    I'll be in Oxford overnight on Wed 11th December if that's closer to anyone who might want to try the bass out?

    I picked up a GR bass 2 x 10 on here a while back. It weighs about 8kg, even lighter than the barefaced stuff I've had before. They do a 2 x 12 in the same range which can't weigh much more. Sounds great too.

    Bloody great, it does the jazzy/funky thing excellently, and the neck pickup does a pretty decent p impression when you select the coil tap. Thanks for the prompt/excuse to post a couple of rehearsal recordings with my band: Listen to ttfc practice 20241008 - Waterfalls.mp3 by Tea Time Funk Club on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/fPFTr Listen to ttfc practice 20241008 - American Boy.mp3 by Tea Time Funk Club on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/xCAgY

    Final basschat only bargainous price of £850. I also quite fancy a 4 or 5 string jazz type bass, so if you've got something to trade let me know. Sandberg TT / Vincent Metropol or other lightweight 34" scale type things please. Not after amps/cabs etc thanks. Bought on here a couple of months ago, it's everything I was looking for - lightweight, ebony board, passive, sounds fabulous, looks superb in oly white. But for some reason I'm just not quite gelling with the 35" scale, so my loss will be somebody else's gain. The body is light weight chambered alder, weight is 4.1kg. Pickups are Delano SBC with coil taps and passive v/b/t wiring. Hardware is Maruszczyk's own. Comes with a Maruszczyk gig bag. The bass was originally a 2020 fretless order and has been converted superbly - the fret tangs have been hidden so as not to interfere with the side dots that served as fret position markers. I've added some adhesive dots to the middle of the frets (the bigger dots in the pics) just for my own sanity, but these come off with no trace. I'll also swap my strap lock black pins back to the originals. It's in superb condition, I can't see any marks apart from a little light swirling on the pickguard. The neck is a thing of beauty. I've put a fresh set of Newtone strings on that have had maybe 3 - 4 hours play time. I won't be gutted if it doesn't sell. Sound clips (with complimentary dodgy playing) here and here. Trials, tyre kicking, cups of tea/coffee and collection welcome at mine in South Manchester. Postage available at buyers risk and choice of courier/level of insurance etc. It will be well packed in the gig bag and then boxed.

    Topped up. 👍

    This has now sold. Thanks to @The fasting showman! Cash donated.
  22. colleya
    And don't forget that the 'free strap with a £35 donation' one off promotion is still on!

    Dammit. Fourth best now.

    Whereas I'm going the other way. New band is just keys, drums, bass vox so no noisy guitars to hide behind. Every little mistake is on full show and some of the stuff is pretty challenging. The bass is rising so I can get my technique more nailed on. Got a wider strap for the Maruszczyk, which means that this mono is going spare.
  25. colleya
    Apparently so. I don't want anybody else to join though. There's only two of us that I know of, so I'm currently the second best bass playing Manc teacher!
