    I couldn't possibly comment Muzz I've managed to find a decent enough piano score where the bass part is identical. Played it through, no issues there and it's a bit of reading practise - all good

    Mods feel free to move around as appropriate. Does anyone have, or know where I can get a bass transcription for Michael Bolton's When A Man Loves A Woman? I've laid hands on a piano reduction but it's not great!

    [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial,]I'm selling a 2006 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray, Limited Edition model. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial,]Ash body with a nicely figured maple neck and rosewood fretboard. Black with matching headstock, which has a couple of slight chips in it. Otherwise, it's pretty much immaculate as it used to be owned by a collector, and I've only gigged it two or three times as well. It's got gold hardware, and also the 3 band EQ rather than the usual 2 band.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial,]Comes with original hard case with limited edition badge, also included is a white pearloid pick guard. Also includes Schaller (or schaller copy - not sure) strap locks.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial,]Only selling as took it in trade for my last bass, but it's spent the last 4 or so months in it's case under my bed, surplus to requirements. £1000 based in Rochdale, can look into postage, but collection preferred. I also drive up and down the country quite often, so meeting part way could be a possibility too.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial,]I'm going to add too, I'm looking for a straight sale only. The only trade I would possibly consider is an NT Thumb 4, but cash is king in this instance!

    Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday - so bloody busy I've purposely scratched good Friday out as it'll be my birthday family meal (and my drummer and singer are both out on separate gigs anyway!), and I've nothing in for Easter Monday yet.

    I'm playing at The Fleece in Horbury near Wakefield with The Undecided this weekend. Never been before, looking online it looks alright, recently refurbished. Sports oriented so probably quite a lively crowd too. Also can't gauge the size or shape of the place, so working out what PA I'm taking is a bit of a pain! Could be interesting! http://www.fleecehorbury.co.uk/gallery-8215.html

    Just got in (popped to a jam night afterwards), and it was absolutely spot on! Sounded fantastic, everything was very tasteful and no OTT playing, and Judith is a great laugh too! We waited around a little bit at the end and ended up having a good chat with Lee, in good spirits as ever talking about gigs, bass, music etc etc!

    I'm going to see this gig at The Met in Bury on Thursday - looking forwards to it!

    And it's sold

    Reluctantly I'm selling this Warwick Streamer Bolt On 5 stringer (predecessor to the LX range). Only reason for sale is I recently had to buy a new car, and as this was bought as a backup, it's not getting enough use and is first in the firing line to recover some funds Recently setup with a new set of coated Elixirs, and given a deep clean and wax. The body is a lightly flamed Maple, finished in Ocean Blue oiled finish. The neck and fretboard are Wenge, and the hardware is Gold. 2 band MEC active EQ with MEC pickups, recessed straplocks (strap attachments included). It's one of the earlier handcrafted models, so has a lovely shape to it, it's not too heavy and balances fantastically. Given its age, there are one or two marks on it, I've photographed the two most superficial ones, there's one by the neck pickup where it looks like someone's nail has previously gone through it over time of anchoring on there, it's been used (and looked after) for a good 12 years before I got it, and then there's a mark on the back which I've tried to photograph. The hardware is also starting to pit and fade, but it still works absolutely spot on! The neck is smooth and fast, and there are no sharp fret ends, and there is plenty of life left in them. No case, collection preferred but I can post if required. £700 based in Rochdale, Lancashire - also willing to meet up within reason.

    I'd be willing to courier it, it's how it got to us so can't be that bad.
  12. goblin
    Aye it's cracking, but just surplus to requirements. I'm open to offers too!
  13. goblin
    Bump, still here after numerous time wasters.
  14. goblin
    I'm selling this on behalf of a good friend of mine who's not on BassChat, but I can vouch that it's come from a very loving home and plays like a dream, but is just surplus to requirement at the moment. The guitar in question is a Taylor T5 Custom Hybrid Guitar, with a Hawaiian Koa top. I'm not very good with guitars, so I'll cheat and link you to the website. The instrument itself is in immaculate condition, and has the original hard case too. The singer in my main gigging band plays the Standard version of one of these, and I can't describe just how good it sounds plugged directly into the desk, so I imagine this will be even nicer! £1995 based in Manchester. Feel free to get in touch with any questions.

    Definitely use your ears, also experiment with where you anchor if you're playing with fingers, naturally it helps if the sound you're aiming for is appropriate to the genre of music. My default position is more towards the bridge, and what I do is I set the blend on the pickups to bias slightly towards the bridge pickup. My action is fairly low, not so low that it's clattery though, but it works well with playing lighter, I also make sure that with my fretting hand, I'm fairly light with my fingers there, and I try and actually land on the fret itself, not somewhere in between.

    I find Mustang Sally really hard... not to get bored and slap it that is Hysteria and Rhythm Stick I've always found pretty easy, the trick with Rhythm stick is as light as possible, makes it easier to go much, much faster! The hardest I've ever had to play is probably Lopsy Lu, Stanley Clarke. It's a case of not getting messy when playing it though, not touched it for a while!

    That sounds bizarre. I use a pair with a ToneHammer 500, and one thing it sure ain't short of is volume! It sounds like one thing you could've done is lost certain frequencies that cut when you played with the EQ, it does happen. How're you connecting the cabs to the amp?

    Oooh go on then, lots of bands to have a look at and get liking! www.facebook.com/theundecidedofficial There's what I'd consider to be one of my main bands for the last nearly a year, I joined as a dep in April, and whilst Ben still gigs with them, I find myself picking up a lot of work too, it's more of a collective than a band with two lineups, depending on what style of music's wanted. I'm also going to be cheeky and put my personal page on, not much activity since the beginning of the month, as I've not really had any playing work the last few weeks. www.facebook.com/davebbass

    Just been and tested it, as it was a friend who told me. Mine definitely fits, and zips. There's not much room for anything else, but it does it... unless the pocket in the M80 double is bigger than the standard M80, but I don't think it is!
  20. goblin
    Oh wow... any trades in mind?
  21. goblin
    I've turned up to gigs in the past and opened cases, shortly followed by "Uh, that's not my 5..." - Always makes for a fun time re-evaluating what you're playing that gig, especially when the 4 often didn't have frets on it either
  22. goblin
    Mono M80

    Nothing major, just silly mistakes. I played at one of my regular haunts with the trio variant of my main band. Turned up, setup, soundchecked - no issues. The landlord always complains that it's too loud anyway, even if the PA isn't turned on! Whilst we were doing the first set, my right ear seemed a little bit lonely, everything could still be heard, but something just didn't seem right with the mix. It was only when we put some music on in the break that I'd realised I had nothing coming out of the right speaker. Thought it was the ipod lead so swapped it, still not right... it only turns out that when I'd turned the desk around to plug in the singers in ears, I'd disturbed the connection from the right master to the power amp Plugged back in - problem solved, sounded much better for the second set! Then to add insult to injury, between the second and third set, landlord was complaining that I'd blatantly turned the PA up, and I was adamant that I hadn't... forgetting that adding the other speaker can make a difference!

    I PM'd recently. No response bud.
  25. goblin
    Yep, my iPhone can be a bit dimwitted towards certain fingers of mine... The fingerprint scanner ain't struck either!
