More headless basses.

The original idea was that we would play for an hour about 10 O'Clock but due to speechs and the like we didnt get on until 11. Played 6 songs which we managed to make last a hour and there was one member of the audience who was so drunk he kept coming up and hugging the singer and playing air guitar in front of the guitarist but that in itself was no big problem. We took a break and were then went back to play another set, By the end of the second song there was a scuffle in the crowd which very quicky turned into a full scale pub fight. At this point was stopped playing and the guitarist singer saw one of his friends getting punched so he decided to get involved. leaving the rest of us standing there looking like idiots. After 10 minutes of shouting and shoving the crowd was pushed out of the pub and the shutters pulled down where we could here more fighting and glass being smashed outside. Had a drink in the pub then we loaded the cars out back and drove off. So not entirely sure I can say our first gig was sucessful [/quote] Sounds like the kind of gigs I used to do. Happy days.

He re-listed it and it sold for £37, the buyer's guide dog went mental.

Great gig in the Sky.

You do find some beauties Dave, very classy.

[quote name='Kinder' timestamp='1316508657' post='1378838'] This is up for £2,200!!!

Admittedly it hadn't got the playing pedigree this one has but come on. [/quote] Yeah, I nearly bought yours. Bummer, could have really cashed in.

Great to see so much love for the Floyd here, I've been a fan since I first heard them in the late '60's. Atom Heart Mother was my intro to them, not the greatest Floyd album but got me hooked. I've got all their albums and been to see them live a few times. Water's solo gigs with Andy Fairweather Low on guitar duties were good but David Gilmour is is my guitar hero. Our own BC member Guy Pratt was outstanding on the post Waters gigs.

If it's Jedward, smoke a J.

How come Happy Jack doesn't dance anymore?

I like the new look, well done all.

Shuker, now your talking. Dood's single cuts are stunning.

[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='1370147' date='Sep 12 2011, 10:01 AM']There's currently a Cort headless on the bay. No idea if that fits your bill? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Customised-Cort-Active-Fretless-Bass-Steinberger-Licensed-Bridge-EMG-PJ-Pups-/270813808736?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f0dc2c860"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Customised-Cort-...=item3f0dc2c860[/url][/quote] Thanks for the heads up but my fretless days are over due to RA. TBH, I wasn't all that before the RA.

Sorry but I find single-cuts Fugly, apart from the Les Paul.

[quote name='Chris2112' post='1369784' date='Sep 11 2011, 08:08 PM']With the two active presets and the amazing tone you get from having both pickups going I doubt anyone would use just the neck pickup! That 'huge' sound I'm talking about is just too addictive! I think for my next Kubicki I will look for one of the exotic top customs! [/quote] I would love to try one out Chris, I like the look but I had never heard one in action. I'll need to change that.

You have one hell of a nice collection there GW. The newbies look great.

Nice.

[quote name='silddx' post='1368498' date='Sep 10 2011, 12:50 PM']There are a couple of Washburn Statii for sale on here around £400. Not played one but I hear very good things. An excellent condition Hohner probably £250ish Spirits go for £150 - £200[/quote] I had a Washburn for around 10 years but I always found the pick ups lacked any growl and the active circuit was a bit pants. I'll have to give a Hohner a try and see what it's like.

[quote name='witterth' post='1368214' date='Sep 10 2011, 01:51 AM']just wondering with that bass guitar pedigree, whats the attraction for a headless bass? (nosey geyt) W[/quote] The headless Washburn was really light, very comfortable to play over long periods and just never went out of tune.

I'm thinking of getting another headless bass but I'm not sure what it get. I normal use Fender P's, the 1st bass I ever used was a '62 original and then owned a '75 and '57 Fullerton RI. I am playing a 70'a alike build P bass now. I have also had a Rick 4001 fretless and a Washburn Status 1000 headless in the past. What headless would give me a P bass or old school sound. I don't slap but love the headless vibe. Your thoughts please. Sam
